In #reformed and #evangelical circles we really lack an important element in #faith #formation - the ability to look to those #Christians who have gone before us and offer a particularly faithful exhibition of conformity to #Christ.

I’ve been attempting to fix this by introducing the congregation I serve to some of our great brethren from the past.

William Ames, Puritan minister, discusses aid. 1) Seek to give more to the good. 2) Be not over critical in seeking out faults of the poor. Charity does not easily think of evil. (Love keeps no record of wrongs, even to aid recipients!).

Isn’t much of modern discourse, especially the debate over foreign aid, all about being curiously inquisitive to the hidden fault of the poor?

How can you glorify God with alms?

Jesus wrestling Jacob? Christophany?

Jesus wrestling Jacob? Christophany? - Divisions by zero

Genesis 32:24-30 KJV And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

Athanasius Contra Mundum - Divisions by zero

Just ran across this term, quite unexpectedly. If you search it you’ll likely find a good read (if you are unfamiliar with the term). If you already know it, here’s a reminder: orthodoxy does NOT depend on popularity for its truth.

For reference, I do not. But I do set the day apart, and we have family over for after church meal and hangout.
