The Blessing of Blessings- Why We Hunger for the Benediction
I, along with many others, hopped on the liturgy bandwagon back in the day. I haven’t, in fact, hopped off. I have, however, come to a more modest understanding of the relative merits of high liturgy. Having spent the better … Continue reading

What does the temple teach us about the church?
The New Testament is chock full of warnings against going back to the shadows, to maintaining all those elements of worship that Jesus fulfilled. Yea and amen says me. It is a mistake, however, to utterly separate Old Testament temple … Continue reading

Owning, and Owned By the Pearl of Great Price
There may well be many of them, but perhaps not as many as you might think. Most of the knowledge I was blessed to receive from my Father became melded together with the rest of it. I was blessed to … Continue reading

No Accounting- The Glory of His Law Story
There’s no accounting for taste. Or to put it another way, the taste has reasons that reason knows not of. We like what we like, and we don’t like having to explain it. Which is why postmodernism fits us so … Continue reading

Not Worthy to Be Compared- Here to Eternity
We all know we are called to walk by faith and not by sight (II Cor. 5:7). What we often don’t know is how terrible we are at it. We tend to think of it as the ability to believe … Continue reading

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound, Given To All Around
Perhaps the most subtle verbal sleights of hand are acts of equivocation. We commit equivocation when we use one word, but with two different meanings. We make the change so quickly we miss the palmed meaning, and are made fools. … Continue reading
