[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

by Rosaria Butterfield | A civil war erupted within broad evangelicalism, and the idol of LGBTQ+ is dividing the house. This issue is personal, political, and spiritual for me.  In 1998, I became one of the first crop of so-called “tenured radicals” in American universities, proudly touting my lesbian street cred. In 1999, Christ called me to repentance and belief, and I became a despised defector of the LGBTQ+ movement...

Understanding the Cry of Dereliction

by Colin Fast

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”’ (Mark 15:34).

What exactly was happening on the cross when Jesus spoke these words? Was the Trinity torn asunder in this moment, Father turning has face away from His Son (as one popular hymn suggests)? Or, was the cry one that could only truly be attributed to the humanity of Christ, not His divinity (as others might suggest)? These verses have been the cause for debate and question in the Christian world for a long time and questions that arise while reading Scripture are not always easy to find answers to…

Justification and Imputation

by Persis Lorenti

On October 31, 2017, many Christians celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. My church held a service where several pastors spoke on the theological importance of this historical event, namely the recovery of the doctrine of justification by faith alone through grace alone in Christ alone for God’s glory alone. This indeed is a wonderful truth that is the…

OPEN AIR PREACHING: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Above is Richard Kellar preaching Words of life to New Orleans Saints fans on Sunday, October 29th. Richard is a faithful brother who minsters around New Orleans.Here’s he is simply proclaiming the Gospel as the fans pass. ‘Some sow, some water, but God gives the increase’.The Bible tells us that the Word is sown into the souls of man. This means you ave two dynamics at work: the Word or Seed and the soul. Matthew 13 gives an extended explanation of this interaction (Matthew 13:1-30). The Word contains life and if it is received into the soul then their is a new birth (1 Peter 1:23).Does the farmer who sows his natural seed look for an immediate crop when his seed goes into the ground?  No. Does the farmer anticipate the seed coming out of the ground slowly and over time does it come to the place to be harvested?  Yes.The same with the evangelist: he is to sow and water the seed and if he is faithful the seed will come out of the ground at some level.  Of course in the Matthew 13 parable Jesus explains the 4 types of ground.  Thus the level of the maturity of the seed appears to be in part based on the gourd into which it was sown.Either way, the evangelist’s job continues to be to sow and water the Word which is what Richard is doing in the picture above.Tags: #1517thelegacyproject #adoption #aker amps #AnglicanConnection #ArchbishopThomasCranmer #be reconciled#BishopDanMorse #CrossofChrist #Dr.MichaelMilton #eternalChrist #getsaved #grace #GreatCommission#greatGodandSavior #hell #HighPriest #Isaac #Jacob #Jerusalem #JesusChristisLord #JohntheBaptist #judgement#justificationbyfaith #LambofGod #MartinLuther #Moses #newbirth #newheavensandnewearth #OpenAirPreaching#pontiuspilate #reconciliation #ReformedEpiscopalChurch #regeneration #resurrrection #Rev.AlBaker #Rev.JohnMason#sanctificationbyfaith #wrath Abraham Anglican believe Christianity Devotionals faith Lutheran missions PCAPEF preaching Presbyterian PresbyterianEvangelisticFellowship reformation Reformation21 repentance salvation sinsportsfanoutreach

Singing Theology in Monotone

Singing Theology in Monotone

Over at Reformation21 I have a post on the importance of the authority of the Scriptures for Martin Luther and the consequential importance of their availability to human. Luther went to great pains to get the biblical translations into as many hands as possible, even when it meant offending his own literary and humanistic sensibilities. In the years 1518–1519, the Leipzig Debates were called and…

by Barry Waugh | Esther is great literature, but it is more: It is God’s revelation of historical events directed for a redemptive purpose, namely preserving the Jews to maintain the seed line for the coming Messiah. For some, Esther is good literature providing a good story; for Christians, it not only has literary value, but more importantly it is historical and God’s infallible Word...

William Bridge Encourages the Depressed with Psalm 42:11 by Barry Waugh

William Bridge was born about the year 1600 in Cambridgeshire, England. He studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, earning the B.A. in 1623 and M.A. in 1626. Bridge is described in Calamy Revised, as “A very hard student, and rose at Four O’Clock in the Morning summer and winter, and continued in his study till Eleven.” He was then ordained in the Church of England and became rector of St. Peter's, Hungate, Norwich. He was suspended from the pulpit for refusing to follow the injunctions of Bishop Matthew Wren, and in conjunction with the excommunication a writ was issued for the arrest of Bridge. He joined others persecuted for their doctrine when he left the country to take refuge in Holland. Rotterdam was where he settled and renounced his Anglican ordination before being ordained an independent minister. He returned to England in…

Justification and the Old Perspective

Justification and the Old Perspective

by Jeffrey Stivason

Charles Spurgeon’s famous quip goes something like this, “I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines, that are called by nickname Calvinism, but which are surely and verily the revealed truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus.” We might say something similar about justification. We may describe it as the Reformed perspective or Protestant perspective on justification but it…

An Open Letter to Reformation21 on the Dismissal of Aimee Byrd

This blog is not usually a place for commentary on the niche events and concerns within the Christian bubble: it’s politics, scandals, and squabbles. However, today I wanted to post an email I wrote to Reformation21, a media outlet for those, like me, in the “Reformed” family of Christianity.

They are more theologically conservative than I am, but most of their contributors are winsome, smart,…
