Preaching (266)
  1. All proper sermons will bring auditors spatially from the spaces and things posited in their imagination to a living encounter with Christ at the altar.
  2. By making a big deal of every baptism, of every confirmation, of every rite of matrimony, the Church takes a stand against the intrusion of consumerism, secularism, identity politics, subversive subcultures, gender dysphoria, and the like.
  3. We have the great gift of freedom. But it is not the only gift. We also have the gift of conscience, and we have the gift of love.
  4. Preach the whole story, the whole macro narrative through the themes of Epiphany: light, illumination, baptism, enlightenment and divine glorification through Jesus Christ.
  5. Advent is a time of expectation, it is a time of remembrance, it is a time of hope, and it is especially a time of preparation by faith for all His comings.
  6. Our stories, be they never so inspiring or worthy of emulation, should never be equated with proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Gospel Jesus Christ commissioned to be proclaimed.
  7. The greatest example of consistency and the Spirit of loving generosity is, of course, Jesus Christ our Lord.
  8. Paul’s endurance substantiated and authenticated his ministry as being “of God” in ways not unlike other Christian witnesses and martyrs.
  9. With the resurrection of the Christ the mystery of life after death became a lot less mysterious. It moved from the realm of conjecture and fantasy to a reality grounded in (of all things!) our human bodies
  10. I found in Jonathan Edwards an unexpected voice articulating beautiful aspects of death through the lens of Christ.
  11. Eyes which are fixed on what is unseen will see the entire world in a different way.
  12. By death the Christian is brought to the actual possession of all his happiness, which is nothing other than Christ and all the benefits Christ has procured for His saints.
