Heavenly Worldliness —
Authority: 136
In his commentary Calvin says Luke very properly begins his Gospel with John the Baptist, just as a person who was going to speak about the daylight would commence with the dawn. For, like the dawn, he went before the Sun of Righteousness, which was shortly to arise. Others also mention him, but they bring him ...20 hours ago -

I didn’t get a chance to watch Barack Obama’s Nobel speech live, but I’ve read the transcript and found very little in the speech that couldn’t have been given by any number of past presidents—including George W. Bush. Granted, absent from the speech is the grandiose rhetoric of “Bring it on”, ...3 days ago -

Creo en Dios! —
Authority: 128
Today’s Gospel from St. Luke, which tells of John the Baptist preaching to the crowds, ends with the line, “Exhorting them in many other ways, he preached good news to the people.” I’m wondering how many of John’s hearers would have characterized what he said to them as “good news.” The exhortations ...1 week ago -

Big Circumstance —

Luke 3:7-18 We’re all equal, but some people are more equal than others. So goes the truism. It’s not far from what John the Baptist says about himself and Jesus here.

…And the Holy Spirit
The Master's Table —

That’s just in our remembrance of the story; in the Biblical account, he is all over ...1 week ago -
