Christian History (1196)
  1. We can’t all afford to travel the world, but the more we read from outside our own context, the bigger we see the world.
  2. The creeds provide a means of unified confession that is biblically sound, transcending denominational lines of demarcation.
  3. When the church has gone astray, it has been the responsible (not slavish) approach to history that has helped correct the course.

  10. If I’m going to join your church, there’s some things I’ll need to know first. I need to know whether you practice a Christianity that’s primarily a to-do list.
  11. As one substance, Christ is God become man, the fullness of God who was pleased to dwell in Jesus Christ.
  12. The majority of churches still use the traditional eight-sided font. The question I’d like to explore in this post is, “Why?”
