The Great Rapprochement

A post over at The Comfortable Words reminded me of one of my favorite images. It is the poster of "The Great Rapprochement", the beginning of our alliance with our British kin.Usually I feel that the Unites States is isolated in a world of relativism or peace at any cost regardless of principal, but Nicholas reminds me that we do have some people that care about us as we do them.Christian Family Fellowship MP3 Sermons

Updated: 2009-10-19 14:06:00Mark Thompson, professor of theology at Moore Theological College in Sydney, has made interesting remarks concerning the threat of liberal theology even in the Global South. (See Theological Education: The Next Battlefield). The strategy of the liberals is to infiltrate the seminaries in Africa and Asia with the liberal revisionist views they hold.

Updated: 2009-10-19 12:04:00This is the central issue of the Reformation. Reformation 101. Justification is a fiat once-for-all declaration that occurs the moment someone first believes.

At best man has but a limited comprehension of those Laws , only such as God has chosen to reveal , as man by Divine permission rightly uses his God-given powers of investigation . Consequently , the Incarnation , instead of being a change or suspension of these Laws , may very properly , for all we know , have been the completion and fulfillment of them , as the Church believes and the Scriptures infer . He Who made the world out of nothing and made man in His Own Image , after His Likeness , He Who rideth upon the wings of the wind and ruleth the raging of the sea , could have found , may we reverently say , no difficulty about the Incarnation .

He is called Edward the Confessor to distinguish him from another King of England , Edward the Martyr c962-979 In Christian biographies , the term confessor is often used to denote someone who has born witness to the faith by his life , but who did not die as a martyr . Edward was the son of King Ethelred the Unready . This does not mean that he was unprepared , but rather that he was stubborn and willful , and would not accept rede , meaning advice or . counsel Aethelred was followed by several Danish kings of England , during whose rule young Edward and his mother took refuge in Normandy .
