Time for a cattle drive in your mind, its time we take every thought captive. Seeing multi-generationally, family integrated fellowships,home schooling, embracing the dominion mandate and respecting God's jurisdictional order for the family, church and state for the glory of God!David Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01223478689215327159noreply@blogger.comBlogger6601100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265036022948114428.post-35497482119232696332010-02-10T20:28:00.001-07:002010-02-10T20:31:52.602-07:00

Mans problem is sin. The answer for sin is the gospel in all of its fullness and glory. As we sang today from Joy to the World ( good news has been brought)....Far as the curse is found.... far as the curse is found...the affects of the curse are found everywhere. but the gospel is the solution to every trace of the curse, where ever it is found!One of the areas cursed because of sinful men is

We are convinced a majority, a consensus among caring, loving Christians is what God looks at , that this type of behavior, in most minds, is in its essence, biblical. With the world, they can flip out at the name of Jesus, but even the world can adore a Jesus that is separated from his word. The battle is over His word and all the more so in the church. Is the word a sharp sword or is it hidden

Does the modern Christian have a reference point for something being biblical. I am thinking being biblical has no real, tangible meaning. We have functioned more from a position of, if a Christian does it, it is defacto good. Because we partake of something , because Christ is in us, its all good. And if you have an entire community, united in the love of Christ, who can be against us? Not even

Kayla taught Nathan to put his hand on his chest and say "Im the man." If my two year old is saying it, we have no excuse. Grab Gods truth and repeat it to our families and the community. Man up! Come, let us play the part of the man well! (yes if its about you, its prideful. If you are boldly repeating back, what God has said about His creation then in that area you are a witness!)

I was only going to send this to Rob so he would have something to read during his wee hr restlessness. But It might be helpful (enjoyable) to others.Here are two posting from Wilson where he notes….

For your prayerful consideration.Here are two articles that fit together. I bet neither author was aware of what the other was writing. They both address an area that is desperate for us Christians to understand in the light of Gods word. That the church has, on purpose said for generations, ”that this be nothing having to do with our Lord ...so forget it.” Came not from exegeting the Word, but

I find it very helpful to hear from as many as I can when I am overturning those wrong paradigms in my brain. On the sermon index page here Voddie lets fly on how Gods Law is perfect. It was not a mistake. It didnt need improving. Spends time on some objections, real legalism, and most fun, uses the sermon on the mount as a thesis for understanding the Law. This talk has a point where he uses

Last week just days before the fort hood terrorist shooting, errr…. I mean accidental firearm malfunction. We heard from one of our fellowship, who had just been deployed for duty in the armed forces at a stateside military Base. He was asking for wisdom on the topic of, how as a soldier, he was not supposed to have a firearm, even in his car, on base. Kind of like wearing pants with no underwear

In Voddies Titus message, he comes out and says he would argue that the segregated church model violates scripture. He notes…You cannot follow the directions from titus when you split it all up. I can hear the teachers and defenders of this modern tradition of man saying…but he didn’t say we were sinning, right?….I heard most of his a families guide to the church today, which is a awesome

Its been a yr since heading out on the self employed trail. Very time consuming. That and the holiday season leaves me way behind here. Our family has been feasting, celebrating what God has done this last year. The business grows and the bills get paid. I eat breakfast and lunch with my family!

third thing...On what exegetical basis, would we, as servants, of the most high, come to understand that, for the first time in 2000 years, part of honoring the wishes of our master would be to split up the families as a part of worshipping Him? How is it that they should not partake in hearing those very things that they should be trained up into? ....." son what did the pastor mean when he

Second thing… what should be our Perspective? Are we free agents? Proverbs says about a wife who loves her husband… “that his heart trusts safely in her” so she is out doing business transactions left and right and he safely trusts in her. My wife pays attention to me and will do things for me or in my place and nails it most of the time and can say …” I knew you would like that” If she was

How does Romans 14 and its Verse 5 "each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." format or change how churchs should be ordered.Family integrated or any old which way as people may prefer? This will be one of three emails to keep it smaller and make it easier. All three emails form the completed responce. We have not been asking questions and we need to.

While watching an old PBS series on “The West” they talked of how the Indians would go off for a week of intense spiritual introspection and when they would have a vision, they would come back and tell everyone what their name now is, on the basis of what they had been impressed with. I am now to be called “broken stick” or “arrow in the head” or” two for the price of one.” They stressed the

Continuing to think about culture. Nobody have a cow, more thinking out loud. Like playdo, stick your fingers in it and work it around.For all those times you heard someone say that, well such and such, that was cultural. Every time you hear a Christian say this about something, it is probably always predicated on the assumption that culture itself is neutral. Culture just kind of happens

Too many pastors have denied that Christianity has a form or substance with a nature that would result in impacting 100% of our lives. This is reinforced by most of the music consumed by believers. This is doctrine that comes out of the pulpits and our music. It might be bad and or weak doctrine, but it is doctrine.Urging a repentance away from success climbing at the expense of your family.

In the last few weeks I worked on two cars that belonged to Christians and both had their radios turned to “K love” I think. As I listened it occurred to me it was like listening to my Alma Mater. I received a graduate degree from all the contemporary Christian music I listened to. Doctrines were layed down all over the place without it ever being pointed out that doctrinal statements were even

I was thinking that Paul Washer would have been just loved, praised, for his message on missions from my previous church’s I attended. But the very same people would be apoplectic hearing his message to the youth group. He pointed out in his youth message that the Hebrew way to emphasize something is different than what we do today, We capitalize, put it in bold, etc. He said the Hebrew way

I enjoy that Wilson helps me to see how scripture casts long shadows that soon touch everything. In manners that are not obvious to those who don’t want to surrender to God. I am talking about Christians. Sanctification comes with a “to go” bag. You will not get it all before leaving the restaurant. We spend a lifetime being transformed.

I think these observations are dead on...Righteousness and Justice Go Together....Some of the criticism was not very informed, like the comments that I should go there and do it myself: I’ve been there, done that, and I keep doing it. Some of it raised an important objection: We should first preach to save souls, and then hopefully in the future the saved souls will change the culture.While this

A clarification, when I wrote…. The modern church has not had a vision of where she should be going or engaging in. So most of the church , as if connected by gravity, is in a low altitude orbit just above the pagan culture. I did not mean that they are at this place as an act of rebellion, maybe, maybe not. For the most part they are there as it is completely outside of their worldview to

1Cor 6:17 I see the word plainly saying here, and until someone can show me otherwise from the Word, that 1cor7:19 is one more reinforcement of what Jesus layed out to be taught in Deut 6, and then reiterated in the gospels. I did not mean that it is only the OT law, but on what exegetical basis would we say….. it doesn’t include it? One more to put alongside all the others. Two points.

From Gary NorthAssessing What Ron Paul Has Accomplished....The only other reference to central banking in the textbooks is the story -- carefully sanitized -- of the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, a victory described, though never explained, as a triumph of the American people over the political control of money. It was, of course, a triumph of the big bank cartel over competitive

…..there is no way to listen to the apostle Paul in the right way, learning from him as a faithful Christian should, without opening yourself up to the accusation that you are following him in the wrong way. There is such a thing as bibliolatry, of course, as John 5:39 reveals, but we also need to remember that it would be pretty easy to accuse some faithful soul of bibliolatry if he was doing

I fell asleep with a smile on my face.Douglas Wilson has said, that at times, it was like falling down a flight of stairs and hitting your head on each step as he learned and came to a place of understanding about different topics of our faith, especially those areas that were contrary to what he had understood. He started with a 70’s Jesus people kind of fellowship, with all the normal

This morning I started on and finished the first chapter of “ A Serrated Edge, a defense of biblical Satire and Trinitarian skylarking” by Douglas Wilson.What he says about satire, fits in, with what is on our plates.“...that the simple fact that the Bible contains such language is by itself entirely unconvincing. And this is because certain non-Christian assumptions have come to dominate how we

So when thinking about “how do you Love God” which will have a knowing God component to it. I went and looked at what God/Jesus/HS themselves say about the subject.To me it was mind bending that He associates Loving the Lord your God , so tightly with his commandments. My comments are about what we see from his word. I am noting what He has said. What He has said is worthy to think about,

What does the Bible say about Loving God?I was surprised to find out the phrase love the lord thy God doesn’t show up until God gives his covenant with Israel. Not with Adam, Abraham, Isaac , Jacob, Noah.Where can we find the largest body of testimony from God about loving him? Song of Solomon? Psalms? Which book does God use this phrase “Love the Lord thy God” more than any other?Between

Noting some things. Being aware of the times.....latent affects of Romanticism on a culture.Emotions are king today. Politicians ,especially bad ones, self serving ones, do not try to make arguments for what they want to do. They seek to make emotional connections and on the emotional basis, “they are trying to help people”, push forward things that can fly in the face of reality.Example: Most of

This is from Gary North. At one point in time I never would’ve believed what he is saying. Now I have seen others and myself do it so many times that I know its true. The word says as a man thinks, so is he. What you are, what you are becoming, can be unrelated to reality. I was given an education that was devoid of the fear of the Lord. By biblical definitions I have not been taught to think

I hope that all of our presuppositions and ideas of scripture, salvaltion, and Christ are being challenged – even if they are not being changes – because as we challenge our thinking, it gets stronger.

We are finite creatures and at some point many of Gods truths do fade into the mist when it comes to our understanding of it. Mostly though its because we don’t know the word as God commanded us to know the word. I am chief among sinners in this area! It is not Impregnated into the core of our being. All of the word, every nook and cranny. Notice how often we can claim here, this verse shows it

Maturity, don’t take offense, I keep asking God to show me more!Those components of the mosaic covenant, sacrifices, rituals have become the better way in Christ he fulfills and does away with that part of the law!

We all need to take what is good, as we can see it and thank God for it. Just keep forgiving one another as toes get stepped on…..do we really believe his word?--"My driving force, in all that I do, is to know Jesus Christ."

another way to think about this.As mentioned, it is a most intense fashion that God declares His commandments for life. It is just as intense when he describes what happens when his commandments are ignored. It is nasty, He calls it curses. It is not a small list either. The difference between the two is as sharp as a divide as you can find. Blessings or Curses.Question? if we can now ignore

You wouldnt believe the absolute flood of thought and scripture that are roaring out from this.

Does the text drive your presupposition or does your presupposition drive the text?Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

Ok this is the last basic foundational presupposition. Please note going forward whether these are guiding what I am writing. So am I letting the word speak for itself or am I waterboarding it to make it confess what I want. This is to answer this....Does the text drive your presupposition or does your presupposition drive the text?also a bonus question with this one…..4) Gods commandments are

I am going to add a couple of more presuppositions and they are big as far as controlling what I see in the word. These are theology componants. The study of Gods nature and truth. I am putting my laundry up on the table and I think it will be eaiser to see....Is my thinking being controlled by the word of God or have I constructed (or borrowed) some false theology, that is apart from scripture,

A beginning, checking my suppositionsBasic Presuppositions: over arching themes, Back drop, frame work,these will affect every and any topic directly.1) Any correct understanding of anything must start with what God’s word has said. You cannot use any outside faith as judge over God, or what he has said. Anything that is contrary to Gods Word is a form of Humanistic thinking and a

Doug has caught my attention with this type of topic. His distinction resonates with the Word.

Been awake since 3am wondering, how did we do this?Myth, lie, taking Gods name in vain: that the OT was about externals and the New Testament is about internals.How did this gem ever take hold. When wrapped up in the first commandments is the instruction to love God with all your heart, all your soul and all your strength. This defines an internal that will control the external. There was
