The Risen King
So far in our little series on the Apostle’s Creed, we’ve confessed that we believe in God the Father, Almighty who made heaven and earth. We’ve confessed that Jesus stepped into history, that he is God Incarnate, fully divine and fully human, and that he truly died. But our great confession does not end with a Christ who […]
Christ stepped into history
The middle section of the Apostle’s Creed is dedicated to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In a previous post, we considered the uniqueness of Jesus. That there is no one like him. He isn’t one among many, he doesn’t exist on a spectrum of human/divine beings. He is the only One. And this time, we continue […]

I Believe
On Sunday, we recited the Apostle’s Creed together. Inspired by this, it seems good for us to take a few weeks to be reminded of what we believe so that we know how to discern what is false when we come across it. To be a Christian is to believe that God is real, mighty, […]
That you may live long in the land
One of the things that we are sort of used to thinking about is God as Holy Trinity. We rightly, boldly, and humbly confess that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the Trinity is what distinguishes Christians from heretical churches like the Latter Day Saints, JWs, and Islam, to name a […]
Discipleship Explored
Before he ascended, Jesus offered these words to the apostles: This is often called the Great Commission and what we see throughout the New Testament is that the apostles work really hard to see that this is fulfilled. They are so intent on doing as the Lord Jesus instructed them that they are willing to […]
Coming up at Ardgowan Square
We are back from a couple of weeks visiting family and while there, we had the opportunity to experience every kind of weather. There was sunshine, rain, snow (three times!), thunder and lightning, and wind that made all of the leafless trees creak like old houses. As I continue to recover from jet lag, let […]

Loved that we might live
It is a wonder to note that, in the wake of describing the condemnation of those who have opposed the Lord, Paul would tell the Thessalonians that they are loved by God. John Calvin describes this in his commentary on 2 Thessalonians: The great joy that we have is not simply that of being rescued […]
