Today we conclude this series on the principles of the Reformed faith.
7. Man
Man, who occupies a unique position in God’s creation, is in his deepest sense a servant of the Almighty.
On the one hand man is creaturely, like all other creatures, i.e. earth, plant and animal, non-self-sufficient, dependant and subject to the law-order of [...]

Protestant-Christian world- and lifeview (Part 3)
Posted in Theology on May 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Continuing the series of principles of the Protestant-Calvinistic-Christian worldview. I want to point out that this work would not have been possible without extensive research into the work of Prof HG Stoker.
5. The Principle of God’s Law-order
This principle is also very important in the Protestant Christian worldview. The law-order is creaturely, established by God [...]

3. The Creation Principle
Creation, that is to say heavens and earth, or the universe, finds its origin, continued existence and purpose in the will of God. This includes the human and his whole life, being creaturely, is in everything dependent on God. Man is non-self-sufficient, and is relationally (non-absolutely), bound and bound to the law-order [...]

The only internally-consistent life and worldview is that of the Protestant Christian. It has withstood attacks from non-believers, deists, non-Christian theists and other schools of Christian thought for the last 500 years. Yet it is hard to find a set of principles which summarize the belief system on all fronts. I will attempt to do [...]
The Gospel Servant

Dr. Jerry Falwell has fulfilled his mission in this life, and has been called back by the Father.
Our sympathies go to his family, friends and those touched by his work. I disagreed with him on a few matters, but stood with him when it comes to Biblical morality. That will be his lasting legacy, along [...]

Gen 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
That promise is the one on which Christian belief is built. God promises that He will be our God, forever. Included [...]

Puritan Lad has written a great piece on the elements of the true gospel here.
Anyone who has read here more often knows my passion for the gospel, and this is a good Scriptural summary of that message.
The storm

Last night, I witnessed probably the worst storm I’ve ever seen. Here in North Texas, we experienced a Derecho. The wind blew at more than 100 miles per hour, and the rain was pounding down. It caused plenty of damage at our neighbors, but we were fortunate that we had no damage at our house.
It [...]
Partial Christianity
Posted in Uncategorized on May 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The most radical choice man faces is for or against the living God, our Father in Jesus Christ. Life and world views can therefore be divided into Christian and non-Christian. This is the most fundamental division of life and world views.
However, because there are Christian worldviews wherein syncretistic fundamentally non-Christian beliefs are incorporated, and, alternatively, [...]
