Welcome To The Dance

By on Thursday, March 14th, 2013 | 1 Comment

The Fathers of the church spoke of the perichorietic nature of the Trinity. Perichoresis literally means “to dance around.” The Father, Eternal Son, and the Holy Spirit are contantly moving around, toward one another, in a beautiful dance of love, mutual submission, relationship, and intimacy.  Inside that circle there is wholeness, Oneness, union, and eternal […]

It was revival week at the First Baptist Church of my hometown.  The sanctuary was filled to capacity as a rather well-known preacher brought the series of sermons for the week. He spoke of truth (in scripture) using a pithy little phrase:  “God Said It!  I Believe It!  That Settles It!”   The following week, […]

By on Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 | No Comments

The following article was brought to my attention by Steve McVey on his blog site.   It addresses well an issue in biblical interpretation which, when understood, takes all the responsibility for salvation (including that for faith) off of YOU and ME, and places it on the only one who could actually make it happen, namely […]

Quick Quote: Thomas Torrance On Salvation

By on Saturday, May 28th, 2011 | No Comments

“To know this God, who both condescends to share all that we are and makes us share in all that He is in Jesus Christ, is to be lifted up in His Spirit to share in God’s own self-knowing and self-loving until we are enabled to apprehend Him in some real measure in Himself beyond […]

There are a couple of blogs that are “must-reads” for me.  Of this small list, Steve McVey (from GraceWalk Ministries) is at the top of the list.  You’ve seen me quote Steve on occassion, but today I am doing something completely out-of-the ordinary.  I am reposting an entire post from his popular blog.  It speaks […]

The following is a segment of the sermon for the Second Sunday of Lent, based on John 3:1-17.  The title “Pharisee” means “the separated ones.”  Pharisees were a select group of no more than 6000 Jewish men.  They aimed to live better lives than the rest of the populace, and most of them were hitting […]

Intellectually Bankrupt

By on Friday, February 11th, 2011 | No Comments

Read 1 John 5:1 – 12  It has always fascinated me that so many in the church spend a great deal of their time attempting to find scientific and historical proof to support the assertions of the Christian religion.           For example, there are dozens of religious books in the marketplace that were written with claims […]
