Yesterday was Trinity Sunday. I always wish my church would celebrate that day in conjunction with the Church Year, but I do understand it is not set up to follow those things that much. Nevertheless, I would like to pass along a post from John H. Armstrong that he posted yesterday so that everyone who reads my blog can at least think about this portion of the Church Year that has started this week. =)
Here is Dr. Armstrong’s entry: Continue reading Trinity Sunday
For those interested… Today I saw a post from the moderator on the Wrightsaid Yahoo! Group. It contained a letter from NT Wright that was written to someone that had found some egregiously bad accusations against Wright on the Internet. Here is the context that the moderator gave for the letter:
“Someone involved in translating Bishop Wright’s book on Judas and the Gospel of Jesus had ran across some incorrect information on the internet about Bishop Wright’s views. Bishop Wright wrote the following letter in response, though I have removed all the personal references. Feel free to disregard the list rule about forwarding messages and pass this along via email or the web. ”
Here is the letter from Bishop N.T. Wright defending himself from bad information that is always available from uninformed and ignorant people on the web as well as other places. Please feel free to pass this along via E-mail or on your own blog so that more people will understand what Bishop Wright believes and that he is not a heretic.
… with Vaxadrine!
This is just too funny to pass up!
Enjoy laughing and don’t ever take any Vaxadrine!
This is a great new fellowship that I hope and pray will do more to unite Christians under one name and banner. I found out about it from P. Andrew Sandlin here. Please visit their site and see what they are up to. Pray for the first meeting in Texas and hope for more things like this to succeed and grow the Church’s important doctrine of catholicity.
Here is their purpose:
This poll is designed to see who people would pick if this was all they had to choose from. So, let the voting begin and we will see what the results give us!
This is extremely telling of how many Christian pastors view their position of authority and their calling to shepherd the sheep of Jesus. Rick Warren shows us how not to do it. Hebrews 13:17 says, “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.”
Rick Warren really has no clue about what this means. But on the Last Day he will have to give an account. Do you think that the account he will give will be very good?
Here is the article:
RTS Atlanta is the Seminary campus I am currently attending. I just received notification that the appointment of Rev. John Yeo has been finalized and that he will start his work on June 1, 2007. He will be the first full-time professor at RTS Atlanta and will be taking the position of Assistant Professor of Old Testament. We are also expecting the hiring of a full-time New Testament professor at the next board meeting. His name is Dr. Bruce Lowe and he is from Australia.
Here is the announcement I received:
Here is the debate ABC hosted between Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron and two atheists.

John Frame has an excellent article on the use of Reformed Confessions.
The quote I enjoy the most is, “I look forward to the time when God will equip his church to write new confessions. The Reformed confessions of the 16th and 17th centuries are wonderful documents that have served the church well. But we need confessions that speak to the issues of our own time: abortion, postmodern ideology, egalitarianism, new spiritualities, ecumenism, the gifts of the Spirit, common grace, the precise role of the Mosaic law the status of non-Christian religions, the obligation of Christians to the poor, the nature of worship, biblical standards for missions and evangelism, and, indeed, the nature of confessional subscription. We need confessions also that can state the old Reformed and biblical doctrines in contemporary language and support those doctrines with the biblical scholarship that has developed over the last 400 years.”

David Field has pointed out that most Evangelicals are defeatist in their view of history and fail to see how the Biblical narrative works – because most Evangelicals fail to understand and affirm what the doctrine of Jesus’ ascension really means. I cannot say how sad that makes me and how much I pray and hope for the Church to change it’s mindset. Here is a portion of his post that I cannot commend to anyone more enthusiastically!
