I’m not sure I’d ever want to try this but I find something strangely exhilarating in this little adventure. For more on El Camino del Rey see this article.

Reformation Heritage Books has recently released two new books by or about Horatius Bonar. I would highly recommend both of these volumes.     Horatius Bonar, a well-known nineteenth-century minister called “the prince of Scottish hymn-writers,” was also a prolific writer of scriptural, practical, and experiential Christian literature. Two of his books that bore considerable fruit and have often been reprinted were The Night of Weeping and The Morning of Joy, here reprinted under one cover. The Night of Weeping expounds compassionately and beautifully a biblical view of suffe... [read more]

It is to battle that we are summoned the moment that we believe. All at once we are translated, not to paradise, but to a battlefield, and there placed face to face with our hellish foes. “Fight the good fight of faith,” is the war note with which our Captain cheers us on.For this battle strength is the first thing needed. But where is it to be found? Not in us, nor in the creature; not in human wisdom, or fleshly sufficiency. Only in Him who hath bought us, and called us, and washed us. “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” Here is the source and s... [read more]

I have been greatly encouraged over the last while to see a number of excellent blogs taking on the heresy known as the “Federal Vision.” While many are still under the delusion that these men are orthodox, it is nice to see a full-frontal assault on the doctrines that these FV-men are teaching. I think that the FV is far more dangerous to the church and the doctrine of justification than anything coming from even the most liberal end of the “emerging church” spectrum. If you are the least bit interested in this issue here is my list of blogs that are a must read: 1)... [read more]

As a currency trader by profession, this was a satisfying day. Let’s hope a few years at a premium is in the future!

I must admit that I’m overjoyed to see the number of times that Horatius Bonar is being quoted on blogs. I’ve long held that he is one of the least known/under appreciated men of the 19th century who is worthy of far greater attention for his tireless gospel work. Here are a few links from posts over the last two weeks that have highlighted some of Bonar’s work. They are all worth reading. 1) Living Upon the Son of God posted by PJ Cockrell. 2) The icy blast of trial awakens the old man posted by Tony Reinke. 3) Here is an excerpt from God’s Way of Peace by Bonar pos...

Airline Sacrifices Goats to Appease Sky God I would like to hear from all my faithful Hindu readers (kidding) on this one. Would you rather fly on a Nepal Airlines plane once a trained mechanic has given the “thumbs up”, or after two goats have been sacrificed to appease the anger of the “sky god”? I don’t know about you, but I would trek through the Himalayas in my bathing suit rather than put my trust in the sacrifice of goats to keep a plane in the air. But I suppose that’s just me.

While I hold a few sympathies for some positions of historic premillennialism, I was relieved to see that I have correctly eradicated any vestige of dispensationalism. Whew! Although, I’m a bit concerned about this “Moltmannian Eschatology.” What in the world is that?   You scored as Amillenialist, Amillenialism believes that the 1000 year reign is not literal but figurative, and that Christ began to reign at his ascension. People take some prophetic scripture far too literally in your view. Amillenialist   85% Moltmannian Eschatology   50%... [read more]

I have had an absolutely great summer (thanks for asking) and I am saddened to have to turn the calendar to September. But more on that later. What follows is a wonderful excerpt from the works of Horatius Bonar on the righteousness of our Substitute. One thing becomes eminently clearer as I read and learn: the FV and NPP proponents are dangerous men who strip the gospel of it’s power. The future will see many shipwrecks for those who travel these dangerous waters. NB: it is in understanding this righteousness—whose it is and how it becomes ours—that is the spring from whi...
