The Ways of God

Posted on June 24, 2013 by

Saturday Night Live (SNL), DJesus Uncrossed, the Romans, the Jews and the God of the Bible

Posted on February 19, 2013 by

DJesus UnCrossed is SNL’s latest attempt to de-christ Christ. Of course, in our day, Jesus is easy to disrespect. One wonders if SNL would attempt a comedy journey through the life of Muhammad. No further comments needed. David Flowers believes … Continue reading →

Establishing new kingdoms…

Posted on February 15, 2011 by

Communities where Trinitarian worship is not stressed nor emphasized have failed fundamentally at the task of dominion; they have taken the tactic of the First Adam who decided to take dominion in his own way. New Kingdoms were and will always … Continue reading →

The purpose of the quiver full of arrows…

Posted on October 6, 2010 by

In Psalm 127 we hear that “arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.” Rich Lusk exaplains: Psalm 127 talks about the quiver full of arrows; the man’s children are his quiver full of arrows.  It doesn’t … Continue reading →

Fish and Dominion

Posted on April 15, 2010 by

An interesting point is that the fishermen do not seem to have dominion over the fish in John 21. The new gardener, Jesus does. In Him, the dominion mandate will be fulfilled, because He possesses all authority in heaven and … Continue reading →

God’s Story!

In his excellent post, Iron Ink argues that the Scriptures tell us what God has done to make us fit for the New Creation. The interpretation that makes God a co-star in our story is contrary to the flow of … Continue reading →

Genesis 32 and Wrestling

Posted on May 31, 2008 by

This text shatters the misconception of God as a tame father. Indeed as Lewis has penned: “Aslan is no tame lion.” God wrestles with us so as to wake us up from our spiritual slumber. If the spiritual gifts were … Continue reading →

Quote, Gage on Subduing the Earth

Posted on April 14, 2008 by

…In the divine command man is commissioned to reproduce God’s own activity in creation, that is, to subdue and to fill the earth. Contextually then, the divine image is the anthropological enablement for obedience to the divine command. After the … Continue reading →

New Creation

Paul teaches that a New Creation has dawned upon earth (II Cor. 5:17) as a result of Christ’s resurrection ( I Cor. 15). This new creation of redeemed people is charged with the Adamic task (Gen. 1:26) of subduing the … Continue reading →

Peter Leithart comments on the role of hymnody in our churches. He argues that modern hymnody has embraced 19th century escapist mentality. No longer are we declaring the triumph of the church or that the gates of hell shall not … Continue reading →

The “antichrist”

Posted on July 11, 2005 by

Mark Levin’s book, Men in Black, is a remarkable assessment of judicial tyranny in this nation in the last 100 years. Recent Supreme Court laws such as government control over private property is a Biblical travesty. Rushdoony has pointed out … Continue reading →
