As the Fellow Once Said

Posted on Monday, January 28, 2019Monday, January 28, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

And Some of Them Really Uncertified

Posted on Friday, January 25, 2019Friday, January 25, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

“Throughout the long history of the covenant people, God has always loved to send disreputable messengers out of the wilderness into the royal and priestly courts and, once there, to have them behave in uncertified ways” (Papa Don’t Pope, p. 45).

Asking Hard Questions

Posted on Thursday, January 24, 2019Thursday, January 24, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

“If the kingdom of God were like a pure line of Labrador retrievers, where we always had to have our pedigree papers stamped by the authorities in Jerusalem, then certain notables of our faith would be in trouble. I speak, of course, about John the Baptist. Tell me, was he authorized or not? Was he …

Blood True

Posted on Wednesday, January 23, 2019Wednesday, January 23, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

[The Spirit] “manifests His presence through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. None of this is possible without full and free forgiveness, and this is not possible without a blood-true gospel” (Papa Don’t Pope, p. 41).

Simple Testimony

Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2019Tuesday, January 22, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Regrettable Though It May Be

Posted on Monday, January 21, 2019Monday, January 21, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

“The Bible tells me the Church is my mother (Gal. 4:26), and that I am to honor her (Ex. 20:12). But the Scriptures also tell me that I am not to follow what she says if she has been hitting the gin cabinet again (Acts 7:51), which in certain ages she has sometimes done” (Papa …

A Foundational Creed

Posted on Friday, January 18, 2019Friday, January 18, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

“The Table of Contents found at the beginning of every edition of the Scriptures I have ever seen is the foundational Creed of the Church. It is no more inspired than the maps and concordance are, but it is much more authoritative. It outranks, by definition, every other creed” (Papa Don’t Pope, p. 37.

Romans for Rome

Posted on Wednesday, January 16, 2019Wednesday, January 16, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

“So in a very real way, the book of Romans is a covenant possession of the Church of Rome and belongs in the Vatican library. Also, in a real way, that letter stands as a Song of Moses to them; it is a testimony against them. In multiple ways, the Church of Rome formally denies …

The Word Secures the Bones

Posted on Tuesday, January 15, 2019Tuesday, January 15, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

“Christ’s bones were breakable, just like ours, but God’s Word is not breakable. In a similar way, we are His bones and so the elect will persevere. In themselves, the elect are capable of falling away, but in the decrees of God they are completely secure” (Papa Don’t Pope, p. 22).
