All The Doctrines In The World
B.B. Warfield, The Right of Systematic Theology (1897), pages 84-85:
There is no creative power in doctrines, however true; and they will pass over dead souls, leaving them as inert as they found them: it is the Creator Spiritus [Holy Spirit] alone who is competent to quicken dead souls into life; and without Him there has never been, and never will be, one spark of life produced by all the doctrines in the world.

Young, Restless, and Reformed
Recently I had the honor of reading Collin Hansen's Young, Restless, and Reformed: A Journalist's Journey With the New Calvinists (Crossway). Hansen is an editor at Christianity Today. From my perspective, the book reads like the reader is riding shotgun as Collin travels around the country in search of discovering the far reaches of the emerging Calvinism so obvious among large groups of young Christian men and women.
The book does not set out to answer the question: "Where'd all the Calvinists come from?" But it does document the rise in a fascinating and engaging way and looks closely at the major figures and movements and how they shape the theology of the next generation of Calvinists.
Read it for the details. Read it to discover the influences among young folks. Read it it to hear stories of how individuals have been transformed by the doctrines of grace. Read it for the descriptive perception of the author. If you watch for new and excellent books, this one by Collin Hansen is a must-read coming your way in 2008. Due out April 30th from Crossway.
Doctrine and saving faith
"We must understand that Christianity is not a mood. It is not an emotion. It is not a feeling. It is not an amorphous set of beliefs. It is established by the truth of God's Word, by the saving reality of God's deeds in Jesus Christ, around certain definite doctrines without which it is not possible to exercise the kind of faith that saves."
- Dr. R. Albert Mohler, at the fall convocation at Southern Seminary on August 21st [as quoted in The Tie: Southern Seminary Magazine (Fall 2007), p. 23]. Download magazine PDF here.
The free magazine also features the testimony of Marxist-turned-Christian, Michael A.G. Haykin on pages 18-19. Good stuff.
Packer on Justification
"Martin Luther described the doctrine of justification by faith as articulus stantis vel cadentis ecclesiae — the article of faith that decides whether the church is standing or falling. By this he meant that when this doctrine is understood, believed, and preached, as it was in New Testament times, the church stands in the grace of God and is alive; but where it is neglected, overlaid, or denied, as it was in medieval Catholicism, the church falls from grace and its life drains away, leaving it in a state of darkness and death. The reason why the Reformation happened, and Protestant churches came into being, was that Luther and his fellow Reformers believed that Papal Rome had apostatized from the gospel so completely in this respect that no faithful Christian could with a good conscience continue within her ranks.
… the doctrine of justification by faith is like Atlas: it bears a world on its shoulders, the entire evangelical knowledge of saving grace. The doctrines of election, of effectual calling, regeneration, and repentance, of adoption, of prayer, of the church, the ministry, and the sacraments, have all to be interpreted and understood in the light of justification by faith. Thus, the Bible teaches that God elected men in eternity in order that in due time they might be justified through faith in Christ. He renews their hearts under the Word, and draws them to Christ by effectual calling, in order that he might justify them upon their believing. Their adoption as God's sons is consequent on their justification; indeed, it is no more than the positive aspect of God's justifying sentence. Their practice of prayer, of daily repentance, and of good works — their whole life of faith — springs from the knowledge of God's justifying grace. The church is to be thought of as the congregation of the faithful, the fellowship of justified sinners, and the preaching of the Word and ministry of the sacraments are to be understood as means of grace only in the sense that they are means through which God works the birth and growth of justifying faith. A right view of these things is not possible without a right understanding of justification; so that when justification falls, all true knowledge of the grace of God in human life falls with it, and then, as Luther said, the church itself falls.
A society like the Church of Rome, which is committed by its official creed to pervert the doctrine of justification, has sentenced itself to a distorted understanding of salvation at every point. Nor can these distortions ever be corrected till the Roman doctrine of justification is put right. And something similar happens when Protestants let the thought of justification drop out of their minds: the true knowledge of salvation drops out with it, and cannot be restored till the truth of justification is back in its proper place. When Atlas falls, everything that rested on his shoulders comes crashing down too.
How has it happened, then, we ask, that so vital a doctrine has come to be neglected in the way that it is today?
The answer is not far to seek. Just as Atlas, with his mighty load to carry, could not hover in mid-air, but needed firm ground to stand on, so does the doctrine of justification by faith. It rests on certain basic presuppositions, and cannot continue without them. Just as the church cannot stand without the gospel of justification, so that gospel cannot stand where its presuppositions are not granted. They are three: the divine authority of Holy Scripture, the divine wrath against human sin, and the substitutionary satisfaction of Christ. The church that loses its grip on these truths, loses its grip on the doctrine of justification, and to that extent on the gospel itself. And this is what has largely happened in Protestantism today."

Book Review: The Truth of the Cross by R.C. Sproul
Book Review
The Truth of the Cross by R.C. Sproul
[CCC: This book has been certified "Cross Centered" by The Shepherd's Scrapbook meaning a substantial amount of its content directly relates to the perfect work of Christ as our Atoning sacrifice.]
For me there is no redundancy with the message of the Cross because I am personally aware of my propensity to meander from the Cross rather than marvel in the Cross. To this end, R.C. Sproul's latest book – The Truth of the Cross (Reformation Trust: 2007) – is a welcomed addition to the releases of 2007. Sproul explicitly states the centrality of the Cross at the outset:
"Within that field of study, when we want to get at the aspect that is most crucial, the aspect that we may call the 'crux' of the matter of Jesus' person and work, we go immediately to the cross. The words crucial and crux both have their root in the Latin word for 'cross,' crux, and they have come into the English language with their current meanings because the concept of the cross is at the very center and core of biblical Christianity. In a very real sense, the cross crystallizes the essence of the ministry of Jesus … I doubt there has been a period in the two thousand years of Christian history when the significance, the centrality, and even the necessity of the cross have been more controversial than now. There have been other periods in church history when theologies emerged that regarded the cross of Christ as an unnecessary event, but never before in Christian history has the need for an atonement been as widely challenged as it is today" (pp. 2-3, 6).
Sproul makes no mention of the New Perspectives of Paul, N.T. Wright or others in the contemporary debate over the Atonement. The Truth of the Cross was intended as a lay-level reinforcement against modern attacks.
As expected, references to Christian giants like Anselm, Calvin, Luther, Aquinas and Augustine abound in this little volume, bringing Sproul's keen historical perspective to the central matters of the Cross. Chapters focus on the justice of God, the 'cosmic treason' of our sin, our captivity to sin and need of redemption, the substitutionary work of Christ on the Cross, the Old Testament pointers to the Suffering Servant, a chapter defending Limited Atonement and then closes with a chapter of various questions and answers. Not surprising Sproul illuminates his subject with fresh illustrations and pointed personal applications of the Cross.
Good books challenge conventional thinking and at one place I was especially challenged. Late in the book Sproul is asks if God can die, a question prompted by the hymn lyrics, "How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?" To this question Sproul offered an argument in denial: "We should shrink in horror from the idea that God actually died on the cross. The atonement was made by the human nature of Christ" (p. 160). This caused me to stop and think for a while because I personally have no problem with the hymn lyrics. Paul tells us that "the Lord of glory" was crucified (1 Cor. 2:8). And in Acts 20:28 Paul tells us God has shed His own blood in the act of redemption. On this exegetical basis Calvin rightly warns us from peeling apart the two natures of Christ on the Cross (see Calvin's commentary on Acts 20:28). That the God-man died for sinners is horrific, but not for its probability.
Where Sproul shines is by reminding us of the incomprehensible value of God's holiness and justice. At the end of a chapter devoted the destruction of Sodom in Genesis 18:22-19:29, Sproul writes, "The Bible tells us that God couldn't find ten righteous people among all the inhabitants of these cities. As a result, God's judgment fell. It fell not because God is cruel, harsh, or lacking in love. It happened because God is just and righteous" (p. 28).
As we have seen recently, the penal substitutionary Atonement of Christ will only be questioned if we fail to grasp the pristine holiness of God and His perfect righteousness. "Because He is holy and righteous, He cannot excuse sin. Rather, He must pass judgment on it. The Judge of all the earth must do right. Therefore, He must punish sinners — or provide a way to atone for their sin" (p. 29). Sproul especially excels here.
The Truth of the Cross is an excellent overview of the Gospel. God is holy, sinners are in need of salvation from the guilt of their sin found only in the death of Christ, displaying the wisdom of God to the world. We need more books like this one — books that step into the heart of contemporary debate on the Atonement to clarify the most pristine truth at the heart of everything we cherish!
Sproul is known for his chalkboard and a passion to educate laypeople. He wants you to understand expiation, ransom, redemption, reconciliation, appeasement, substitutionary atonement, and propitiation because these are central to understanding the gospel. In Sproul's newest book – The Truth of the Cross – you will discover the beauty of the crux like never before. But even more importantly, Sproul understands the implications to our faith if we don't get it.
"A Substitute has appeared in space and time, appointed by God Himself, to bear the weight and the burden of our transgressions, to make expiation for our guilt, and to propitiate the wrath of God on our behalf. This is the gospel. Therefore, if you take away the substitutionary atonement, you empty the cross of its meaning and drain all the significance out of the passion of our Lord Himself. If you do that, you take away Christianity itself" (p. 81).

Book: Sweet Communion by Arie de Reuver
Book Announcement
Sweet Communion by Arie de Reuver
So I was all ready to wind down a bit this weekend, and not push to get another post up. That was all disrupted Saturday when a bubble mailer arrived in my mailbox from Baker Academic. I simply could not wait until next week to announce their new release. The book is Sweet Communion: Trajectories of Spirituality from the Middle Ages through the Further Reformation by Arie de Reuver. The book was published in Dutch in 2002 and translated into English by James A. De Jong.
To explain the importance of this book, I need to give some background.
We are familiar with the English Puritans (men like John Owen, Richard Sibbes, John Bunyan, Thomas Brooks, etc.) primarily because their original works were written in English, and easily reprinted over the centuries with little editing necessary. However, in the Netherlands another "Puritan" movement was taking place. Like their English counterparts, men like Willem Teellinck, Herman Witsius and Thodorus and Wilhelmus à Brakel were producing valuable theological and spiritual works in Dutch. But until only recently has the work of Dr. Joel R. Beeke and the Dutch Reformed Translation Committee made these works more accessible. In fact, one of the great highlights of Beeke's Meet the Puritans is a section entirely devoted to the Dutchmen of the "Further Reformation" (see pages 739-824). Books of the Dutch "Further Reformation" authors (like the recently translated The Path of True Godliness by Willem Teellinck) bear all the marks of brilliance we see in the English Puritans.
One of the most noticeable strengths of these "Dutch Puritans" (as I call them) is their emphasis on Reformed spirituality and their enjoyment of sweet communion with Christ. Theirs was a deep and sincere devotion to Christ where their union with Christ was the means of experiencing vibrant communion with Christ. They defended the doctrines of grace and simultaneously enjoyed a joyful and warm spirituality.
This beautiful Reformed spirituality can be seen in the works of Wilhelmus à Brakel (1635-1711).
Wilhelmus à Brakel is most noted for his four-volume work, The Christian's Reasonable Service (Reformation Heritage Books; 1993; 4 vols.). While it looks like another Reformed systematic theology it is actually more practical in nature and intended to provide content for small group discussions as Christians gather to encourage one another in the Christian life. It is one of the beautiful works of the "Dutch Puritans."
I have noticed in the past the "sweet communion" of the believer with Christ is a theme that sparkles from this work. After emphasizing the marriage union between the Groom (Christ) and His Bride (the Church), à Brakel explains the believer's communion with Christ within this marital union. Once this union between the sinner and his Savior has taken place in conversion "Jesus Himself delights in having communion with you" (2:93). Read that incredible sentence again! This communion produces a "sweetness and overflowing delight … Here they (Christians) find balm for their sick souls, light to clear up their darkness, life for their deadness, food and drink for their hunger and thirst, peace for their troubled heart, blood to atone for their sins, the Spirit for their sanctification, counsel when they are at their wit's end, strength for their weakness, and a fullness of all for their manifold deficiencies" (2:93,94).
Of this marital union and the communion that follows, à Brakel writes,
"A temporal believer concerns himself only with the benefits and has no interest in Christ Himself. Believers, however, have communion with the Person of Jesus Christ, but many neither meditate upon nor closely heed their exercises concerning Christ Himself. They err in this, which is detrimental to the strength of their faith and impedes its growth. Therefore we wish to exhort them to be more exercised concerning the truth of belonging to each other, and the union and communion with Jesus Himself. They will then better perceive the unsearchable grace and goodness of God that such wretched and sinful men may be so intimately united with the Son of God. Such reflection will most wondrously set the heart aflame with love. It will strengthen their resolve to put their trust in Jesus without fear. It will give them strength and liberty to obtain everything from Him to fulfill the desires of their soul, causing them to grow in Him, which in turn will generate more light and joy. Therefore, faith, hope, and love are mentioned in reference to the Person of Christ. Scripture speaks of receiving Him, believing in Him, trusting in Him, living in Him, loving Him, and hoping in Him" (2:91).
This beautiful passage points the believer back to the Person of Christ to find her joy and strength in the beauty of Jesus Christ. This light and joy is the byproduct of communion with Him and this communion goes back to the believer's union with Christ in justification.
Later, à Brakel explains that since our union with Christ is absolute, our communion with Christ does not shift with circumstances or emotions. "By faith, hold fast to the fact that you are reconciled to and are a partaker of Him and His benefits, even if you do not perceive and feel this. This belonging to Him is not based on feeling. If the souls may truly believe this and be exercised therewith, this will lead the soul toward communion with Him" (2:96). Communion can never be separated from our union and our union is described by our justification by faith alone and in our election in the Son. So à Brakel and the "Dutch Puritans" remind us that our sweet communion with Christ is inseparably bound to our understanding of our union with Christ in the gospel!
In his conclusion on the teachings of Wilhelmus à Brakel, de Reuver writes that his "spirituality is one that is rooted in Christ through the word believed, even in its most intimate and mystical moments. This foundation protects his mysticism from spiritualism" (258).
Many today are drawn towards Roman Catholic mysticism or a non-theological spirituality by thinking a deep spiritual experience of Christ can be separated from a genuine understanding of the gospel. This, as à Brakel displays, is not the case. Neither does Reformed theology favor a cold orthodoxy. Following the best intentions of the Medieval theologians, the Reformed "Dutch Puritans" always believed that rich biblical doctrine is the vein for the warm blood of spiritual experience of the Son in communion.
So here is the importance of Sweet Communion by de Reuver: The rich spirituality we have received from the "Dutch Puritans" is a spiritual legacy following the spiritual traditions of Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) and Thomas à Kempis (1379-1471) but is firmly rooted in the precious theology of the Reformation. The final conclusion of de Reuver is that the all-controlling center of the Dutch Further Reformation spirituality rested in the Reformed theology. This is a beautiful and timely book to further dismantle the idea that Reformed theology is cold and stiff intellectualism. Our rich theology actually leads us deeper into true "mysticism" of direct communion with Christ.

The importance of God's wrath
The importance of God's wrath
Yesterday I posted some comments about my gratefulness to Christ for escaping the horrifying consequences of my own sinfulness, namely escaping God's wrath (see Saved from the wrath of God). Today I want to return to the topic and post from a slightly different angle.
From my perspective – and knowing my own heart — we sinners are apt to forget the gospel. When we become ignorant of the gospel, we make unwise life decisions, bear children ignorant of the gospel, and live in marriages where the Cross is not central (Eph. 5:22-33). It's to our benefit, humility, and joy to be reminded of Scripture's emphasis upon the wrath of God poured out towards sinners. This is what Christians have been saved from. The wrath of God is absorbed in the substitutionary work of Jesus Christ as our judicious and forensic Savior, and we are never beyond need of reminding.
So why is the doctrine of God's wrath so important? For starters, the gospel – that the wrath of God resting upon the heads of all sinners, is, in Christ, absorbed when He drank the cup of our condemnation and substitutes Himself for the redeemed – is always in a process of erosion. This is especially true today.
One of the most noted dangers of the New Perspective(s) of Paul is the de-emphasis on Christ as the substitute who absorbs the wrath of God. After citing direct quotations from prominent NPP writer N.T. Wright, T. David Gordon writes, "The enemies and powers defeated by Christ do not (for Wright) include God's own wrath or judgment … when he explains Paul's narrative theology, and the cross and resurrection as the center of that narrative, he is entirely right, but when he explains precisely what Christ therein triumphed over, the wrath of God is not among the panoply" [in Gary L.W. Johnson and Guy P. Waters, editors. By Faith Alone: Answering the Challenges to the Doctrine of Justification (Crossway: 2006), p. 63].
The point is we are always in danger of forgetting God's wrath. By sheer volume of Bible references, the wrath of God towards every sinner is the central consequence of our sinfulness. It is central to the work of Christ, central to the gospel, and central to living the Cross centered life.
So in hopes of stirring you up by way of reminder, here is a (short) list of some reasons why the theme of God's wrath is important:
1. God's wrath is biblical. The Scriptures are saturated with the wrath of God. Look for yourself. Talking about God's wrath is nothing but letting the priorities of Scripture become our own priorities. We should be humbled and sobered by God's wrath, but never silent. God has promised that sinners – all who are sexually impure, covetous, idolatrous, or otherwise impure and unrighteous – will face the wrath of God (Jam. 2:10; Eph. 5:3-6). Those who say otherwise are speaking empty and deceptive words.
2. God's wrath reveals God. The wrath of God reveals His holiness, envy, perfections, an intense hatred of rebellion, His righteousness, His justice, His power. "I will make myself known among them, when I judge you" (Ezek. 35:11). Soberly, God reveals Himself in the damnation of the wicked. "What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory" (Rom. 9:22-23). The beauty of the Cross and the redeemed shines with greater luster when compared to the coming condemnation coming upon the wicked. Until we understand God's holiness and wrath, we will only have wrong conceptions of Him.
3. God's wrath reveals who we are. We are sinners. We exchange the glory of God for created things. We happily replace the joy of God for collecting Hallmark figurines, antiques and Beanie Babies (Rom. 1:18-23). We would rather treasure the fleeting things of the world and forfeit our souls (Mark 8:36). We are His subjects, but we do everything in our power to reject Him. We will abandon the natural biological creation to invent our own unnatural means of rebellion (Rom. 1:27). Every act of rebellion stokes the wrath of God (Rom. 1:18). If we have become honest with ourselves, we know that we are wrath-deserving, glory-exchanging, sin-pursuing sinners that (apart from Christ) can only expect the eternal wrath of God's holiness. This is who we are. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, one of the great preachers of the 20th century, writes: "The way to appreciate your own sinfulness is not to look at your actions, nor your life, but to come into the presence of God" (Great Doctrines, 1:72). Step close enough to feel the heat of God's holiness.
4. Importance of God's wrath in the daily life of the Christian. To the question, "How are you today?", C.J. Mahaney has popularized the response: "Better than I deserve." Try it sometime. The barista behind the counter at Starbucks will give you a very puzzled look. But this will also be a great opportunity to share that an understanding of God's wrath has made a permanent impact in your heart. So what do you deserve? Do you deserve perfect health? A venti Americano? Comfortable finances? An early retirement? Comforts? Vacations? The Christian knows better. Sinners (of which Christians will be until we see Christ face-to-face and have our sin burned away) deserve the wrath of God. It's only because of God's graciousness in the death of His Son that some sinners will be spared. Most sinners will get exactly what they deserve — the undiluted, eternal torment of God's burning wrath. So why do we get angry when our comforts are disrupted by our spouse or children? Take a look into your own heart and ask: What upsets me? These disruptions are typically rooted in a misunderstanding that we are entitled to something other than wrath.
5. God's wrath kills self-righteousness. If ever there was a truth that would break a self-righteous sinner like me, it's the truth that God's wrath rests upon me eternally if I am uncovered by the righteousness of Christ. My church attendance and good works and kindness and charity are a flick of water into a raging furnace. What can I do to cool the wrath of God? In light of His blazing holiness, what efforts, what works, will extinguish His wrath towards each of my sins? The popular wax gospel of human invention — that God will be pleased with me because I am not as bad as others – melts near the furnace of God's wrath. Even a great and righteous prophet must pronounce condemnation upon himself in the presence of a holy God (Isa. 6:1-7).
6. God's wrath exalts the work of Christ. How easily we forget that the searing pain and scorching suffering of Christ can never be pictured by His lacerated back and the holes in His hands, feet and side. These physical pains are only a surface-level visual to the horrors of the Son drinking down the cup of God's wrath (Mark 14:32-36 with Jer. 25:15-38). "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Cor. 5:21). Or to put it another way, "But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed" (Isa. 53:5). The Gospel is centered around God's wrath. For in His anger towards sinners He transferred the wrath from His children onto His only Son and then crushed that only Son. Until we catch a glimpse of the horrors of God's wrath, we will never begin to see the horror and the beauty of the Cross.
7. God's wrath motivates evangelism. How can we be quiet? "Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others" (2 Cor. 5:11). The thought that sinners would rest content in self-righteousness was appalling to the Apostle Paul. All self-righteous sinners, and especially the religious, need to hear the gospel to be saved from the wrath of God. This gospel travels on the wings of preachers sent out with the self-righteous killing Gospel (Rom. 10:1-21). What loosens the mouth to speak the Gospel is a heart that has seen a glimpse of the eternal wrath awaiting sinners (Acts 17:30-31).
8. God's wrath drives me deep into doctrine. I can only escape God's wrath if I am justified. So what is justification? Justification is the transfer of Christ's righteousness to me, whereby God declares me "righteous" and takes my sin and wrath and transfers these upon the account of Christ, whereby He is declared "guilty" and endures the wrath I deserve. By faith, I entrust my salvation alone to Jesus Christ, my sin is atoned, I am declared righteous, I have the hope of eternal life and enjoy peace with God (Rom. 3:9-5:21; Gal. 3:1-14; Phil. 3:1-11; 2 Cor. 5:21). If I am not justified, I am not safe from the wrath of God. "Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God" (Rom. 5:9). The wrath of God gives significance to doctrines like justification.
9. God's wrath reveals the beauty of our adoption. We are all by nature sinners and this makes us naturally "children of wrath" (Eph. 2:3). But now the enemies of God can be reconciled to God (Rom. 5:10). We are more than justified and declared righteous, we are taken into the family of God! Through Christ, our relationship to God radically changes! By faith alone, we come back to our Father in all our filthy sinfulness and He runs to us, grabs us, kisses us, celebrates over us, and calls us His children (Luke 15:11-32). If you are justified, God has taken His judgments away from you and now sings over you with loud singing (Zeph. 3:14-17)! The wrath of God was paid in Christ and through this beautiful Gospel I am now accepted. It's not because I am good enough or ever will be obedient enough, rather because of His graciousness alone. Every day I can wake up knowing I am a child of God and that will never depend upon my own appeasement of God. Jesus, Thank you!
Jesus, Thank You (song by Pat Sczebel, Sovereign Grace Ministries)
The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me
Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father's wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You
By Your perfect sacrifice I've been brought near
Your enemy You've made Your friend
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end
Related: Propitiation is the theological term for the appeasement of God's wrath in Christ's substitutionary work for sinners. Theologian John Murray writes, "Sin is the contradiction of God and he must react against it with holy wrath. Wherever sin is, the wrath of God rests upon it (cf. Rom. 1:18). Otherwise God would be denying Himself, particularly His holiness, justice, and truth. But wrath must be removed if we are to enjoy the favor of God which salvation implies. And the only provision for the removal of wrath is propitiation. This is surely the import of Romans 3:25, 26, that God set forth Christ a propitiation to declare His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the ungodly."
The Heidelberg Catechism
Book Review
The Heidelberg Catechism
In the March issue of reformation21 magazine, Carl Trueman wrote an interesting article on the place of creeds in the church today. In his article, A Good Creed Seldom Goes Unpunished, he writes,
"On the issue of creeds, the evangelical world often seems absolutely divided into two broad camps: There are those who are so passionately committed to a particularly narrow view of scripture's sufficiency that they not only deny the need for creeds and confessions but regard them as actually wrong, an illegitimate attempt to supplement scripture or to narrow the Christian faith in doctrinal or cultural ways beyond the limits set by scripture itself. Then there are those whose view of creeds and confessions is so high that any other theological statement, and sometimes even the Bible itself, seems to be of secondary importance. Neither group, I believe, really does the creeds justice."
I certainly fall into the category of non-denominationally, creedally-deficient. To rectify this, I've taken up the Heidelberg Catechism of late. It has been a wonderful boost to my study time, sometimes reading like a concise doctrinal statement, sometimes reading like a passage from The Valley of Vision, but always edifying.
What makes the Heidelberg Catechism unique is its subjective, experiential emphasis. Here is one example:
27. Q. What do you understand by the providence of God?
A. God's providence is His almighty and ever present power,[1] whereby, as with His hand, He still upholds heaven and earth and all creatures,[2] and so governs them that leaf and blade, rain and drought, fruitful and barren years, food and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty,[3] indeed, all things, come not by chance[4] but by His fatherly hand.[5] … [1] Jer. 23:23, 24; Acts 17:24-28. [2] Heb. 1:3. [3] Jer. 5:24; Acts 14:15-17; John 9:3; Prov. 22:2. [4] Prov. 16:33. [5] Matt. 10:29.
As you can see the Heidelberg Catechism is unique in its ability to double as a devotional. Comparing the Belgic, Helvetic and Westminster Confessions, Joel Beeke and Sinclair Ferguson write, "The [Heidelberg] catechism presents doctrines with clarity and warmth. Its content is more subjective than objective, more spiritual than dogmatic. Not surprisingly, this personal, devotional catechism, as exemplified by its use of the singular pronouns, has been called 'the book of comfort' for Christians" (Reformed Confessions Harmonized, p. x).
You can read the catechism for free here. An updated version of the catechism is available from Faith Alive Christian Resources. This version (used by the Christian Reformed Church) comes with the complete text of the biblical references printed from the NIV. Obviously some conclusions will be contentious (like infant baptism). But overall I highly recommend it if (like me) you find yourself creedally-deprived.

The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination
Book review
The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination
by Loraine Boettner
Written 1932 by Loraine Boettner, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination continues as one of the best biblical defenses of the Five Points of Calvinism in print. I use Boettner primarily as a biblical resource when researching the Five Points because I know Boettner will encourage me with the bare meaning of Scripture. This large book also excels at answering the tough questions left in the wake of Calvinism. Chapter 27 on the practical significance of Calvinism is alone worth the price of the book.
As a new Christian, the first book I read to understand Calvinism was The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination. In that first reading I recall it being a simple, biblical and dogmatic introduction. Over the years I've come back to see it also as a reliable guide for the more advanced issues related to Calvinism. For under $10 I would consider this one of those must-have books. If you don't have it, I would encourage you to put it on your wishlist.

Wal-Mart is running out of excuses
It keeps blaming disappointing results on things like delayed tax refunds, even though its rivals are doing better despite the same headwinds.
Among Wal-Mart's lackluster data points, first-quarter net income rose 1.1% to $3.78 billion, or $1.14 per share, versus $3.74 billion, or $1.10 per share, a year earlier. Sales increased 1% to $113.4 billion. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expected profit of $1.14 per share on revenue of $116.1 billion. U.S. comparable-store sales, a key retail metric measuring revenue at stores open at least a year, fell 1.4%.
The company forecast a profit in the current quarter of $1.22 to $1.27 per share, below the $1.29 analysts had expected.
As it has done before, Wal-Mart attributed its mediocre performance to a delay in the Internal Revenue Service issuing income tax refunds, an increase in the payroll tax and less grocery inflation. However, Wal-Mart's competitors are facing these same problems and are faring better. That's only heightening the pressure on Duke to improve the company's financial performance.
Kohl's (KSS), for one, reported better-than-expected earnings, and its stock is moving in the opposite direction of Wal-Mart's. It expects comparable-store sales to increase as much as 2% in the current quarter after a 1.9% decline in the last quarter. TJX (TJX), the parent company of TJ Maxx, saw its same-store sales rise 8% in the four-week period ending May 4. But it expects its growth rate to slow in the current quarter to a range of 1% to 2%, which disappointed Wall Street.
Wal-Mart does see better times ahead. It says U.S. same-store sales will jump as much as 2% in the current quarter. If the discount retail colossus can't meet those modest expectations, Wall Street will not be pleased.
Jonathan Berr does not own shares of the listed stocks. Follow him on Twitter @jdberr.
More on moneyNow
Will not shop at Wal-Mart any longer.
To me we need to stop shopping at these large chain places and bring back the mom and pops stores this is the only way to bring America back.
Large chains kill the economy and we need to boycott them all.
Lets bring back the mom and pops stores.
Who is with me..
One word... "Walmartians". The reasons my family will never shop there again are as follows (if Walmart cares to know)
1. You cram the isles with **** I can find myself on the shelf. I have never made an impulse buy after crashing into an island of merchandise place strategically in my way so I can't get through.
2. The employees always look like they are on the verge of suicide. (& seem aggravated I am now checking out and they have to ring up the items).
3. They have zero dress code for shopping at their store! The general public that is allowed to enter and shop while not dressed appropriate for even a backyard swim-barbeque. I don't need to be attempting to explain to my toddler why the 600lb woman, with her boobs literally hanging and swinging out and about, is riding in a store provided powered wheelchair with 4 or more kids riding on the back (screaming, shoeless, unkept and seemingly always in this condition). I can't say what I want to say ....
The real problem is those Third World suppliers. The damned slave labor wage and working condition costs are beginning to rise, and those aren't circumstances that will keep a Wal-Mart open.
I can hear the head of Wal-Mart, all frustrated and mystified, bellowing at the next board meeting, "What part of slave labor don't those people understand!?"
I have the hardest time going to WalMart- no cashiers, customer service area cannot help you find anything- and every time I go in for a product it has been moved..... I go to Target and grocery stores - now! My time is too precious to shop at WalMart for over an hour looking for products.

Wale is one of the biggest sneakerheads I know, he's been in tha game since before he went to college. He even worked at DTLR. In my book Wale's earned his right to have these kicks and get kicks months ahead of release date. J.cole too

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Sales of Gulf of Mexico seafood are getting a boost from the military after being hammered by last year's BP oil spill, which left consumers fearing the water's bounty had been tainted.
Milt Ackerman, president of Military Solutions Inc., says 10 products including fish, shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, and packaged Cajun dishes such as jambalaya and shrimp etouffee are being promoted at 72 base commissaries along the East Coast. Military Solutions is supplying seafood to the businesses.
Gulf seafood sales fell sharply after BP PLC's Gulf well blew out in April, spewing millions of gallons of oil into the sea. Consumers have long feared that fish, oysters and other products could be tainted by oil and chemicals used to fight the spill, even though extensive testing has indicated the food is safe.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks sign first baseman Kila Ka'aihue
There's no doubt that Paul Goldschmidt is the first baseman of the present and future for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
But over the Thanksgiving holiday, general manager Kevin Towers added some insurance behind Goldschmidt going into the 2013 season.
Arizona agreed to terms on a minor-league deal with 28-year-old Kila Ka'aihue.
The Hawaiian first baseman spent of part of the 2012 season -- 4 HR and 14 RBI in 128 plate appearances -- with the Oakland Athletics before being designated for assignment in June.
Ka'aihue was drafted in the 15h round of the 2002 amateur draft by the Kansas Royals, and spent the first four years of his professional career with the organization from 2008-2011.
After being designated for assignment last season, the six-foot-four left-handed batter hit .256 with 15 home runs in sixty-six games.
The Diamondbacks used Lyle Overbay and Mike Jacobs to back up Goldschmidt a season ago, although the second-year first baseman played in 145 games.

1. OUCS within the new Divisional Structure
In the division-based governance structure of the University, OUCS is a part of the Academic Services and University Collections (ASUC) division, along with other central services such as the Libraries and Museums. The University Committee to which OUCS reports is the Information and Communications Technology Committee (ICTC), which has representation from all the academic divisions and is chaired by Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Slack. As a centrally-funded service, OUCS has a clear responsibility to ensure its services are equally available across the divisions, and that the needs of all divisions are equally reflected in what we provide. It is in this cross-divisional context above all that OUCS has sought to clarify its mission.
Divisionalization has also brought about a welcome transparency in the finances and activities of the centrally funded bodies. OUCS has long been in the vanguard of this move towards clarity and responsibility in monitoring and reporting on the costs of its services. This may be one reason why staff at OUCS have been quick to recognise the good sense in rethinking service provision explicitly along cross-divisional lines. Finding a proper balance between centralized and distributed provision in an increasingly networked world is never an easy task: the University's clear policy directives have helped us identify precisely how our services should be prioritized, so as to ensure a proper level of support for the computer and information technology that now underpins all University activities. We do not need to rehearse here how vital a contribution is made to the University's position and world-class status by a reliable computing infrastructure and its associated range of support services.

In 1904, five Belleville businessmen founded Belleville Shoe Manufaturing Co, employing 50 workers and making between 50 to 75 pairs of shoes a day. During WWI, Belleville Shoe received its first order for military footwear. This began an enterprise that has sustained the company ever since. The military boot making resumed during WWII, and the War Department was so impressed with the Belleville boots that it was bestowed its coveted Army-Navy "E" for Excellence Award in 1945. Of the 90 companies producing combat boots during the war, only five received this distinction.
In the years since, the government has repeatedly honored Belleville Boot Co. for its quality and performance, including the Defense Departments prestigious Defense Quality Excellence Award in appreciation for its performance in meeting an urgent, accelerated deadline. Belleville delivered 120,000 pairs of desert boots on or ahead of the revised schedule. The Defense Logistics Agency, which conferred the award, noted that of 656,000 boots Belleville produced in the year from Aug. 18, 1989 to Aug. 17, 1990, not a single boot failed to meet government quality requirements.
Belleville Boot continues to be the leading provider and innovator of combat boots, protective boots, flight boots and tactical military boots for the US Department of Defense (DoD). At 108 years old and over 1 million pairs of military boots sold annually, Belleville is still the oldest and largest US military boot provider.

Forex Tester is easy to use for beginners but also includes an API for people who know how to program.
Statistics reveal your performance; you can take notes on every trade (to keep a trade journal) and export your trade log for analysis in Excel or other programs.
Spreads and swaps can be defined for each currency pair making the simulation and earnings results even more realistic. Advanced data feed includes historical data from different brokers. Forex Tester enables you to train and test with a maximum of flexibility. Even adjusting strategy parameters on-the-fly without stopping the simulation is possible. You can test more than one EA at a time while watching what is happening during the simulation.
Our program is the best solution available on the market and this is no coincidence: we first developed Forex Tester to improve our own trading.
Forex Tester will most likely save you more money on the losing trades and let you make more money on the winning trades compared to what it costs; buying Forex Tester with our additional money-back-guarantee is a no-brainer.
It will pay for itself.
If you are serious about trading currencies, Forex Tester will quickly become an integral part of your evolution as a trader like it has for so many others before. Many professionals use it on a daily basis to test new strategies and refine their proven methods. Its accuracy and flexibility is unrivalled.
Try the demo and see for yourself! Happy trading!
It`s often said that 95% of Forex traders lose all their money in the first year.
What makes a trader successful then? In interviews, the best traders in history unanimously emphasize the importance of backtesting.
Backtesting means to use historical data of a capital market (a recording of price movement) to find out how well a trading strategy would have worked in the past. While there is no guarantee, very often a strategy that performed in recent months will continue to generate profits in the future.
Demo trading is an excellent tool if you've already found the strategy which works. If you haven't then it is useless. Demo trading in the 4-hour timeframe for example means that each candlestick takes 4 hours to finish. If your trading strategy suggests that there are no trades with the current chart then you will have to wait for the next candle. Testing your strategy for 6 months in a demo account will take you 6 months. If you need to make small changes to your strategy, you will have to start all over again. With Forex Tester seeing the next candle takes just one click of the mouse.
MT4 is one of the best and most popular platforms for live and demo trading which includes a feature for backtesting. We also know that it is given to you by brokers. Would you expect that brokers who are not interested in your success will give you great backtesting instruments included into the live trading platform? Live trading platforms like MT4 are good for trading live with real money but not for backtesting. That is why we developed Forex Tester: because we wanted a better alternative.
You can read detailed instructions on how to install Forex Tester here.
In case if you are not satisfied with Forex Tester software (which is almost impossible) it is easy to uninstall it in "Start menu -> Forex Tester -> uninstall".
Download now and see for yourself what Forex Tester can contribute to your success in this exciting business! The limitations of the demo are modest so you can use Forex Tester for learning/testing even in demo mode.

Wrinkled Potatoes
Make these delicious wrinkled potatoes, courtesy of Jose Andres, which can be found in his cookbook, "Made in Spain," along with these two fantastic dipping sauces: Mojo Rojo and Mojo Verde.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 cup salt, plus more as needed
- Mojo rojo or mojo verde, for dipping
Step 1
Place the potatoes in a deep, medium-size pot. Add enough water to cover, and salt. Potatoes should float in the salted water; if not, add more salt.
Step 2
Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Drain water from pot, leaving just enough to cover the bottom. Return pot to low heat and cook, shaking pot until the salt covering the potatoes begins to crystallize, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover pot with a clean kitchen towel until potato skins have wrinkled, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately with dipping sauces, as desired.

The Issue
The projected 10 percent increase in cotton acreage in Mississippi is small by some standards, but it's enough of an upward trend to be significant. Some economists believe the increase might be even higher if prices continue to improve this spring. Producers Chad Mohamed and Brooks Aycock are certainly enthusiastic about the turnaround.

My year in pictures: 2011
I moved to rural Maryland to an apple farm with my mom. I started at the comic book store in Washington, DC and started commuting into work. Which was basically a two hour train ride that started at 5am every morning. It snowed. A lot. We got over 6ft of snow on top of the mountain and it seemed like there was endless amounts of snow that didn't leave for weeks. I kept taking pictures of my dogs; Rufio, Bo Bear, and the pups. January was just filled with winter, sitting at my desk, animals, and living the country life.
I was snowed in a lot. There was nothing else to take pictures of but.. myself.

Menopause and various treatments to relieve its symptoms have been the subjects of many research studies, the findings of which can be confusing. As one of seven designated research centers for the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) and one of 40 U.S. centers involved in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). Rush is dedicated to helping increase knowledge about the special health concerns of women during their menopausal transition years and in doing so clarifying some of the confusion.
What is menopause?
When a woman permanently stops having menstrual periods, she has reached the stage of life called menopausal or post-menopausal. The menopausal transition is said to be complete when menstrual periods have ceased for one continuous year.
The transition from pre-menopausal to post-menopausal is referred to as perimenopause. During this transition, the supply of mature eggs in a woman's ovaries diminishes and ovulation becomes irregular. At the same time, the production of estrogen and progesterone decreases. It is the enormous drop in estrogen levels that causes most of the symptoms commonly associated with menopause.
When does the menopausal transition begin?
The menopausal transition generally takes about four years with the average age of menopause or postmenopause being about 51years. There is considerable variability, however, across women in when it starts, stops and its duration, with some women starting as early as age 40 and others starting as late as age 55.
Women who smoke and are underweight tend to experience an earlier menopause, while women who are overweight often experience a later menopause. Generally, a woman tends to experience menopause at about the same age as her mother did.
What are the symptoms of menopause?
Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, relaxation of the pelvic muscles, a change in hair growth and insomnia are common symptoms.
How can the symptoms of menopause be treated?
Specific treatment for menopausal symptoms will best be determined by your physician based on:
For some women, hormone replacement therapy or estrogen replacement therapy are recommended. Although menopausal hormone therapy was once believed to help ward off heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer, 2002 research findings from the Women's Health Initiative showed this was not the case.
The study showed that estrogen plus progestin significantly increased the risk of invasive breast cancer and blood clots in the legs and lungs and did not protect women from heart disease and stroke. In fact, the study showed that women taking this drug had a higher risk of heart attack and stroke.
For information about hormone therapy and menopause, read Facts About Menopause and Hormone Therapy by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Other women choose alternatives to hormone therapy, such as over-the-counter lubricants for vaginal dryness, antidepressants for hot flashes, and physical activity to help manage mood swings and prevent insomnia. Some suggest soybeans and soy-based products because they contain phytotestrogens; however, there is no solid evidence that the phytoestrogens found in soybeans, soy-based foods, other plant sources or dietary supplements relieve hot flashes.
More information about alternatives, can be found in Facts About Menopause and Hormone Therapy by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This also includes information about dietary supplements, which are often sold without the review or approval of the FDA and should be used with caution.
About SWAN at Rush
The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) was designed to examine women's health during their middle years. The study examines the physical, biological, psychological and social changes during this transitional period. The goal of SWAN's research is to help scientists, health care providers and women learn how mid-life experiences affect health and quality of life during aging. The study involves a large number of African-American, Caucasian, Chinese, Hispanic and Japanese women. Because the women were recruited from community samples, not clinic samples, all socioeconomic groups are represented.
The Rush site of the SWAN study is called the Women in the Southside Health Project (WISH), is located on Chicago's south side, and involves three Chicago community areas: Beverly, Morgan Park and Washington Heights.
Led by Lynda H. Powell, PhD, SWAN researchers at Rush recently found that an increase in the ratio of testosterone to estrogen during the "transitional years" is related to an increase in cardiovascular disease in women. Unlike men in whom the narrowing of coronary arteries occurs gradually over adulthood, women's arteries don't narrow ? or occlude - until they hit their menopausal years. And by the time they're in their 60s, their arteries are just as occluded as men's arteries.
These findings highlight why it's important for women to practice healthful lifestyle habits and maintain their health by visiting their primary care physicians regularly, especially during the critical menopausal years. Exercise and well-balanceddiets are important. The American Heart Association makes the following dietary recommendations:
The AHA also provide exercise tips to help combat cardiovascular disease.
About the Women's Health Initiative
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) established the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) in 1991 to address the most common causes of death, disability and impaired quality of life in postmenopausal women. The WHI examined risk factors for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. The WHI was a 15 year multi-million dollar effort, and one of the largest U.S. prevention studies of its kind. Rush is one of 40 centers involved in this study and is led at Rush by Henry Black, MD; Lynda Powell, PhD, and Ellen Mason, MD, are co-principal investigators.
The clinical trials were designed to test the effects of postmenopausal hormone therapy, diet modification, and calcium and vitamin D supplements on heart disease, fractures, and breast and colorectal cancer.
Recently, the WHI released findings on the effects of calcium and vitamin D on the health of postmenopausal women. The use of these supplements for an average of 7 years was shown to slow down the loss of bone density and may help protect against hip fractures. It was also shown that, in the dosage used for this study and for 7 years of duration, the use of these supplements did not prevent colorectal cancer in healthy postmenopausal women.
More about WHI and its findings can be found at the WHI Web site.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on Friday affirmed a lower court decision in favor of mortgage giant Fannie Mae that removes a legal challenge for borrowers fighting foreclosure.
The state's top court ruled that a so-called "affidavit of sale" is enough for a lender to prove it has the right to seize a home. The affidavit is used by a lender during the auction process to prove it has complied with foreclosure laws.

I have never tried.
