Dear Romanists,
8 Feb., 2023 Dear Romanists, You believe in the triune God. Good! You believe in transubstantiation (re the Lord’s Supper)? Fine.

The Monarch “Pastor”

Quite a far cry from a militant army of God taking ground for the Kingdom […]

In Sin Did My Mother Conceive Me
“In sin did my mother conceive me,” says God’s word. ‘Tis, indeed, a negative affirmation of the dignity That is man’s because of the imago Dei that he bears, But take what is and affirm that divine principle. We, at conception, existed complete in our humanity! We lack nothing to be granted all honors as […]

“This Is My Body”!
“This is my body”! said Jesus. Not, “This is my covenant sign”! Come, Presbys, all the way to Luther! The incarnation of God into the world through the Son was a miracle which stayed with us, by the power of the Holy Spirit. He rose, indeed from the dead, and then the Spirit was sent […]

Abortion, the Bastard Child of “Women’s Rights”
In the days before Roe, the great triumph over evil in America was that achieved by Martin Luther King. Segregation, the heir of slavery, was defeated by one who opposed that evil head on.

What is the Church?
The church is about sound doctrine (per the Scriptures and the Creeds), indeed. But it is also about the gathering: the “breaking of the bread.” There is a special presence of God in the “sacrament” – the “communion” or “supper.” We don’t accomplish such by mail or TV or “on-line.” We gather to break the […]
