All Coexistent! ‘I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus…’ (Re 1:9). Blessings! Covenant Heart

Here’s A Thought! The beast depicts blasphemous political/military power. The hoe depicts opulence ill-gotten through extortion. The false prophet depicts blasphemous religion. John parks the hoe on beastie’s back depicting economic injustice enforced by military oppression. The...

Theology On Tap -- The pub, the community dinner, the floor of synod, the walk for justice, meet with public leaders, orchestral hall, back to the pub. Moving seamlessly between them, equally at home anywhere. Blessings! Covenant Heart

Cajun Huguenot is correct to say that definition plays into this. People who suppose that Reformed theology and Dispensational theology mix fail to understand either Reformed theology, Dispensational theology, or both. The John McArthur version of 'Calvinism' would have seen you...

There Was A Restoration -- Remember? And n context of Je 28, that would seem to be the breaking of those bars. Now -- some thoughts on the original post? Blessings! Covenant Heart

A Disciplined Mind -- ...both from candidates for high public office, and for opinion shapers. Clearly, I'm disappointed on all counts....... Blessings! Covenant Heart

You Got It! Correlation is EASILY proved. Causation is quite another matter. If memory serves correctly, Pat Robertson gave us this line on Katrina which, as you know, was God's judgment on New Orleans' gays. Someone asked what would be the import of storms assailing Huston. The reply...

Ummm...Er... I thought that the word 'alien' would be understood in terms of 'heretical' and their frequent existence 'apart from any sense of Biblical faith.' What is claimed as 'conservatism' and/or 'liberalism' often exists in the context of an atheistic or agnostic (a form of atheism)...

How Do We Know -- That the Haitian disaster was precipitated by the people themselves (i.e., that it was judgment as opposed to calamity). For exactly what reasons are we supposed to believe that proposition? Blessings! Covenant Heart

Or Did He Not... Sum the law and prophets by telling us to love God above all, AND others as ourselves? Haitians brought the quake on itself? Are America's woes our fault? Funny how narratives work, isn't it. Why IS that? Blessings! Covenant Hearft

Get Your Prophets Straight! Blessings! Covenant Heart

Conservative??? But I think they're worthwhile. http://www.whitehorseinn.org/ http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?l=1 http://www.enoughproject.org/ http://www.churchworldservice.org/site/PageServer http://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ Blessings! Covenant Heart

The Terms Mean Nothing. At least the older I get, the truer that becomes for me. I'm at a point where what some call 'conservative' reeks with humanistic secularity. Perhaps we should bear in mind that Conservatism and Liberalism together are alien, heretical ideologies that both can and...

Here Again... I’m uncomfortable. That’s a little more Preterism than I can swallow. Remember also that I read Revelation thematically and theologically, not chronologically or phenomenologically. That’s why I’m just not interested in 98% of popular eschatology. It’s just plain silly. It is a...

Hey Vino! See what was happening in Je 28! Just as Jeremiah said, the people were hauled off to Babylon. He also said that this exile would be long. In short, dig in for the long haul! You gotta make new lives for yourselves. Raise families and see grandchildren. Build, plant, work and...
