Incense and a conflicted Reformed mind…
Posted in Bible, Tradition and Interpretation, Church Practices on September 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I read this entry over at the website of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church (part of the orthodox breakaway group CANA), and found myself totally stunned. I admit that I had never thought of Incense this way. While I don’t have any problem at all per se with the practice, to justify it’s use as being [...]
Pyromaniacs: Preaching the Cross to those without the categories to understand it

Dan Phillips blogs on this interesting and challenging topic.
Our task today is to tell people — who no longer know what sin is, no longer have the categories to understand it, no longer see themselves as sinners, and no longer have room for these categories in their non-moral universe — that Christ died for sins [...]
Lordship as a covenant concept
Posted in Bible, Tradition and Interpretation, Discipleship, Worldview on September 25, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I am currently reading “Christian Counterculture” (well, rereading it) by John Stott and “The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God” by John Frame (thanks Becka).
Frame begins his discussion with an analysis of “The Biblical Concept of Lordship: (1) Lordship and Covenant”. Here, he casually mentions something “obvious” that I had not taken into account [...]
Power plays and Scripture

Michael Jensen blogs on the postmodern (I hesistate to use the word) critique of power in Scripture. I thought one of his footnotes summed it up best:
We may say further that for Castelli, Foucault’s works have become Holy Writ. She is, it turns out, gormlessly uncritical of him while being super-suspicious of Paul. Why doesn’t [...]

Gotta love these “unorthodox” but engaging and original ways of reaching the unchurched. And I’m not being sarcastic.

Kyrie Pantokrator

I’m feeling pretty bad right now. I’ve hurt someone and I’ve made a lot of mistakes that have offended God. In times like these, it’s great to take hold of ancient prayers, such as the Prayer of Manasseh (found in some modern BCP, here’s the Biblical context):
A Song of Penitence Kyrie Pantokrator
Prayer of Manasseh [...]
Living the Gospel
Posted in Bible, Tradition and Interpretation, Discipleship, Worldview on September 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Quite a while a ago, Matt Harmon asked on his BLOG, Can one Live the Gospel? This, in response to Graeme Goldsworthy’s affirmation that christians cannot, in effect live in the Gospel. The Gospel, for Goldsworthy, is an one-off historic event, and in this sense, Christians can only live in response to the Gospel.
