David finally found the truth that it was not his seed of kingship but the promise made to Abraham that made him holy. From that, David refused to be moved and wrote this Psalm by the necessity of the Spirit as the assurance of faith. The law never made a man holy, not even one as robust as David; yet faith did this great thing without lifting a finger.

Today, the longing for cultural Christianity on both the left and the right hearkens back to an older version of Christendom that was a mixed blessing for the church in the western world. The cultural mediation of Christian views on created order has certainly benefitted the civilization we’ve inherited. But the gospel itself isn’t something that can be reduced to cultural mediation either. Instead, the gospel as a message stands apart from all human accomplishments and achievements, no matter how beneficial they might be.

God is often hidden in history, even as we make it now, but He is always manifest where He has promised to be.
03/17/22
You can die now, you can let go, and because that is true, you can begin to live!
03/14/22
God is not a preoccupied parent, he’s an invested and interested tender loving Father. He values what perplexes us.
03/10/22
When we own up to our sin, our Father is not scandalized, and his response is not to reconsider his calling us.
03/03/22
This is the patient love of God. He is stubborn about the salvation of sinners. He will not be rushed even if his name is mocked, and the trustworthiness of his promises are called into question.
03/02/22
This world of unbearable grief and accidental calamity is being renewed and, soon, will be completely bereft of every pernicious foe.
02/28/22
There is perhaps no better observation about the nature of anxiety and depression than its fundamental desire for avoidance.
02/24/22
The firestorm of the Reformation which turned Europe upside-down was not Luther’s doing. It was the Word, and the Spirit working through it.
02/07/22
Mephibosheth’s story is a living parable of the gospel. It reeks of redemption, demonstrating precisely what Christ does for even the chiefest of sinners.
02/02/22
Rest doesn’t come cheap. Perhaps there’s no scarcer commodity in our time. Plenty sell it, but there’s no warranty, and it seldom lasts.
01/31/22
The sword of the spirit in Holy Scripture does indeed show us our sin, but thanks be to God, it also shows us our Savior.
01/27/22
You might not know it, but every Christian hopes for the day when their faith will die. Really. I promise. Faith’s death is our celebration.
