Here is a compilation of quotes I have collected. This will be the first of many. I hope you are encouraged, strengthened, and intellectually challenged for the glory of God and His worship. “The first-century (apostolic) church used the LXX more than any other form (translation) of the Old Testament. .. At theContinue reading “Quotes on Psalm-Singing: Part 1”

Federal Vision and Baptism
(These are my notes for my last Sunday School of the year) Federal Vision – Sacraments and Baptism Ch. 27 – Sacraments I. Sacraments are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace, immediately instituted by God, to represent Christ and His benefits; and to confirm our interest in Him: as also, to putContinue reading “Federal Vision and Baptism”
Wrong Worship Is Idolatry
“All worshiping, honoring, or service invented by the brain of man in the religion of God, without His own express commandment, is idolatry” (John Knox, Works, Vol. III, pg. 34). “For inasmuch as it was easy for the people to lapse into the imitation of the Gentiles, and to worship their false gods, under whoseContinue reading “Wrong Worship Is Idolatry”
Worship, Violation, Leadership
“Surely the first foundation of righteousness is the worship of God. When this is overthrown, all the remaining parts of righteousness, like the pieces of a shattered and fallen building, are mangled and scattered. What kind of righteousness will you call it not to harass men with theft and plundering, if through impious sacrilege youContinue reading “Worship, Violation, Leadership”
Homosexuality, Brian Prentiss, and a Partial Response
June 25th, 2003 is the date. That is the date for the 70th General Assembly of the OPC. They met at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa to discuss matters of the church. There were many things going on but the one that should catch everyone’s eye was the Lee Irons trial. Yeah, this isContinue reading “Homosexuality, Brian Prentiss, and a Partial Response”
Bad Counseling
Reading Christian responses to political or social issues can be quite disheartening. Especially when they come from the reformed circles and they respond in an unbiblical manner. When we ask specific questions or try to respond to anything, we must do what we confess. If we call ourselves Christians, we ought to believe the WordContinue reading “Bad Counseling”
How To Treat Your Wife
Last night I was speaking to my wife about certain things concerning the Law of God and how we are to interact with society. I was trying to explain something but then it happened. I said something to my wife that turned her (immediately) off only to become angry with me. I reflected on whatContinue reading “How To Treat Your Wife”
The Gospel and The Homosexual Community
Capitulation is the word to describe what Christians have been doing recently. When you read about the decision SCOTUS made in regards to same-sex “whatever you want to call it”, it should be noted that there are Christians capitulating on the issue. Instead of being in the light to which God has called us, theyContinue reading “The Gospel and The Homosexual Community”
Eschatology: Christ Reigns
It is hard to get rid of old ideas that have been ingrained into your mind. Some of the ideas that you might have about, well, anything could have been established a long time ago from your parents or church or whatever. At this moment I feel like God is using people of a differingContinue reading “Eschatology: Christ Reigns”
Obey Your Boss
Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ; not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. With good will render service, as to the Lord,Continue reading “Obey Your Boss”
Male and Female He Created Them
It is always interesting to hear how people or animals were born a certain way. I really mean this! Some people were born with a genetic makeup that makes them look a certain way! God truly is amazing in His creation! I look at huskies (for example) and they have beautiful eyes. Sometimes they areContinue reading “Male and Female He Created Them”
God Reigns!
The recent ruling in our land has been devastating. We as God’s people have seen many cruel, evil, and sinful things happen within our nation, states, and cities in these past few years, but no matter what the situation or circumstance, God Reigns! We should be reminded that our God: Father, Son, and Holy SpiritContinue reading “God Reigns!”
