Reformed Theology: in times like these.
1 Timothy 1:1-11 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope, 2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 As I urged you upon my departure for Continue Reading
There are many people, working for those who own the old mass media, who will proclaim that anyone who attempts to stand for the right, the true, and for the LORD our God is a failure, broken, defeated and an example of what not to be. They account the world by their own perverted measures. Continue Reading
We have had a series of serious poems. Eliot is one such: an imagist, and wrote difficult poems, but (being more charitable than Pound) provided footnotes. He also wrote comic poems. Crafted well. Some became part of a musical. This, I think, did not. The Naming of Cats The Naming of Cats is a difficult Continue Reading
We are not the be jellyfish. We are not to sit around, doing nothing, and wait upon the spirit of God for all revelation. Paul, who was not one unfamiliar with the Holy Spirit and with mighty acts of power, taught discipline. Being careful in your own life to stay away from that which is Continue Reading
I left my laptop at home. I initially thought this was a mistake, but I could deal with spam and comments fairly easily on a cellphone. Writing however, is a challenge. I prefer to work on mechanical keyboards with big screens. So, now that I am back. some things I read… apart from books. Much Continue Reading
Do not build your own mystery. Do not cling to the traditions of the old faith, or what you think is the old faith — the reality of paganism was bloody, fearful, and the appeasement of angry spirits. To the pagan, the gospel has always been good news, for they know their damnation. There will Continue Reading
Today we have the last of Anne Locke’s sonnet sequence: it begins with a five sonnet introduction. In this sonnet, as in the psalm, the writer turns from their plea for absolution to praise. The text today is the final verse: then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; Continue Reading
One of the difficulties that the evanjellyfish, particularly the prosperity version (not always Pentecostal: most Pentecostals are not prosperity gospelites) have is that they see God having a wonderful plan for your life. True. But it comes at a cost. Being of Christ could cost you your life, fortune and honour among men. In some Continue Reading
I have not previously posted the introduction to the meditations of a penitent sinner, which have been the Sunday Sonnets for the last couple of months. However, it is a worthwhile poem on its own, and (since it is Saturday)… Besides, it is made of five sonnets. Consider it a bonus. The hainous gylt of Continue Reading
Final post Traveling. One of the false love bombs the woke do is say “but your childd does not have faith, or your spouse, or this person you admire”. These people may reject you. Ignore that. It is far better to have faith in Christ and disapproval from your offspring. Instead, be faithful, and pray Continue Reading
