• Not Norman Shepherd

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 137
  Good works are necessary for salvation. Thus says http://www.hornes.org/mark/ on 12/16 while channeling Norman Shepherd. Well, it is true that the post mentioned Norman Shpeherd .  But was I channeling him or others? What I wrote is that Shepherd prompted me to investigate Reformed Orthodoxy. What ...

• Packer Slams the Blog Culture…But does he have a point?

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  J.I. Packer has been right about a lot of things and he has be wrong about a few things. Here he gives a somewhat scathing rebuke to the culture of blogging and even the ever emerging culture of Twitter. My question is, in this case is he right or wrong. What do you think? “I’m amazed at the amount of time ...

• A Billion Jacobs Engraved on His Breastplate

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  (Isa 53.9) and there was no deceit in his mouth. Neither my mind nor my heart can fathom the polemical collision that occurred when Jesus, in his holy humanity, suffered the ill treatment, abuse and fermented scorn of his executioners. There really are no earthly comparisons or illustrations to faithfully ...

• You Need More than Just Data in Preaching the Gospel to Yourself

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  There is a lot of (necessary) talk these days about preaching the gospel to yourself. This is truly a great need for every Christian. We all found ourselves slouching back to the self-promoting, self-worshiping default position of our hearts. That is, we forget the gospel. But let’s be very clear about what it ...

• Dropping the False Saviors by Finding Sufficiency and Delight in Jesus

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  As a follow up to yesterday’s post , here is a helpful quote from Keller about needing to find sufficiency and delight in Jesus and his work. Great stuff: “If we are deeply moved by the sight of his love for us, it detaches our hearts from other would-be saviors. We stop trying to redeem ourselves through our ...

• Norman Shepherd and the Westminster Standards: How I stopped thinking I knew and started learning about the Reformed Faith

  
  Mark Horne — Authority: 137
  So, after graduating from college I got a job working for Coral Ridge Ministries and fell into regular conversation for awhile with a seminary grad (RTS or Westminster) who told me about Norman Shepherd.  It was probably 1990.  He said (and I’m pretty sure I have this word perfect because it made an impression) ...

• Trouble Finding Your Counterfeit Gods? Google is here to help.

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  The more that I try to live the Christian life the more I am confronted with my need for Christ. I am graciously shown the person and work of Christ and this thrills my soul. As a result I want to remove idols that undermine my satisfied delight in Christ. In recent years we have been helped to this end by various ...

• This Strange, Refreshing Gust of Heavenly Wind

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  “…[the] Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.” (Acts 17.24-25) “If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your ...

• The Heart of the Matter is What you do with Jesus

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  In dealing with Jesus humanity showed its true hand. In all of our clamoring for wisdom, righteousness, peace, love, mercy, grace, and a good king; we acted foolishly, unjustly, tyrannically, and hatefully; as rebels of God and allies of all of his foes. God came into the world and the world didn’t want him. A truer ...

• First Humiliation then Exaltation

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  In order to rightly view the cross of Christ we must not see it first as a means for our exaltation but rather for our humiliation; for it was primarily our sin’s collision with divine holiness that reckoned Jesus to endure such cosmic humiliation. This sin-induced humiliation must inform our understanding of ...

• The Impact of Christ, the Truth, on my Bible Study

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  In order to know how any given part of the Bible relates to us, we must answer two prior questions: How does the text in question relate to Christ and how do we relate to Christ? Since Christ is the truth , God’s final and fullest word to mankind, all other words in the Bible are given their final meaning by him. ...

• Man Rescued from a Cesspool

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  I read this headline today and thought that it sounded like a story I know quite well. A worker in New York was trapped in a cesspool yesterday. After 4 hours of dramatic attempts he was finally rescued. I am certain that he is quite thankful to be alive and freed from such captivity. No doubt after a couple of ...

• This Priest Was Aquainted with Grief

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  On the Day of Atonement the priests laid aside their usual sacerdotal garments that projected beauty & distinction (Ex. 28.4,36,42) in favor of the more somber and outwardly humble uniform consistent with the weighty occasion of the atonement (Lev. 16.4). The goal was to project grief over sin and the duty of ...

• The Bible is not a Book of Many Stories but Rather Only One

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  I absolutely love this quote. I think that ‘getting it’ here makes such a difference as to how we approach our Bible reading, teaching, and ministry. …we usually read the Bible as a series of disconnected stories, each with a ‘moral’ for how we should live our lives. It is not. Rather, it comprises a ...

• How the Glory of Christ Changes Sermons and Congregations

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  As a church we are currently enjoying a sermon series entitled Anticipating Immanuel . The series is designed to try to capture something of the prophetic pulse throughout redemptive history as God gives further specifics that would spark, inform, and sustain the flame of anticipation for the coming of Jesus. This ...

• Mark Dever says Pastors Need to Read this?

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  ..And it is on sale for 48 hours . ($9.99 vs $19.99)And its hardcover?! Fantastic! I clicked on the advertisement in my inbox without thinking I needed to read the book. However, Dever convinced me. I really respect and appreciate Mark Dever and his contribution to the church and his spirited recommendation of this ...

• Never Forget Who Christ Really Is

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  “Never forget that Jesus is Lord and King of all, and he will not accept any lesser position. He demands that we do all things to his glory, everything in accord with his will. His gospel contains law, we may say. But service to this King is wonderful freedom. To trust this King is to trust a Priest who gives us ...

• Your True Theology is Displayed not Merely Confessed

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  I recently enjoyed a great discussion with some seasoned saints. One gentlemen wisely stated that your true theology is how you live. This is an incredibly inciteful and important conclusion. Here are some examples that have been fermenting in my mind since then: Most of us do not openly confess to be open theists ...

• What is that Parasite that Prevents Me from Beholding the Glory of Christ?

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  In his landmark essay on The Glory of Christ puritan John Owen provides some practical guidance in identifying what types of things impede the believer’s persistent satisfaction and delight in the glory of Christ.  I have found this particular section in the book to be most convicting and instructive. At the ...
