489 years ago Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Wittenberg door. The blogosphere is making much of this. I’ve just finished my series on the Solas in recognition.
What is it to be Reformed?
It is to make much of Christ.
What does this mean? I’ve said before that to ‘be Reformed’ is in essence to hold […]
The 5th Sola. Sorry it’s taken a while, folks.
Soli Deo Gloria - The Glory of God Alone
Right then. This is in many ways the underlining principle of everything that there is in life. And it cuts 2 ways. Or 1 way but expressed in both directions, I guess.
What is right action? No, I’m not some […]
Life has gotten really busy lately, I have a backlog of written posts, so I should continue to post stuff, but don’t hold out hope for anything specific.
I’m trying to get my head round the various issues so that I can actually begin to talk about the concept of “CU” - ideology, missional implementation, eccelsiology […]

I just had a meeting with my supervisor about my dissertation. I know have a line of enquiry, and a next step etc etc pinned down nicely. It goes something like this:
LEARN GREEK
Fun, eh?
Gareth says what I was saying, but better. And more biblically. He’s funny like that.
Let’s look to our Jesus before we get down to the nitty-gritty of what is in my mind coming to look more and more like a discussion on ecclesiology. So what if we disagree? When I stand before my Lord in […]
I think Gareth and I are about to leap into some sort of fully fledged conversation on the nature, purpose and implementation of the concept of “Christian Union” at university. Which might be fun. We both realise that we don’t always control our tongues as well as we should (especially me) and that this conversation […]
