We often are stuck experiencing a 1 or 2 dimensional joy.

I want 3 dimensional joy. Perhaps the 3rd dimension is rest…

Welcome to—yet another—blog

Welcome to… Confessions & Reflections of One Untimely Reformed:

Three dimensional joy sees by being further up—a little higher up the mountain, gazing down upon the flat pages below. It’s being at a higher vantage point (a place of rest) where one can see more and enjoy a landscape that reveals greater and greater glory … I’m not further in yet, but I am further up; Oh, to be further in—that must be the fourth dimension that’s as yet unseen and unheard.

“Camp Refuge”

Thought we lost Elijah. If he was not at camp when we got back it would be a search party situation.

There and Back Again

After spending two winters sojourning with the baby baptizers I was content to make it my home. Spring arrived, and as the ground once more was reviving in its usual rhythmic dance with our sun, someone inside of Camp Wilson tossed me a new book. My mind joined the earth in its thaw. Light and warmth flooded in.

Trees Of Eden

God transforms his children from trees of exile into trees of Eden planted by the great river bank. “Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.” (Ez. 47:12).

Ultimate peace will not be found in the word of a friend. We will not be so easily satisfied. But they will spur us on. They’ll help us cross the finish line. The Peace we shall know then, all encouragements will have only hinted at. It is because they hint at it that they are good.

Merry Thanksgiving!

Only by faith do these realities begin to have true meaning and sit on a foundation you can build a life of gratitude on.

Day of Obedience

I’ve just baptized my daughter today. We had much joy and laughter with some tears. The LORD is good to us. He is faithfully bringing us along.

And now we must live in faithfulness to the baptism we’ve received.

For An Everlasting Covenant

That’s the joy I’m exploring… seeing faith as participation in the Person of our faith. His covenantal power is diminished when I make it about my individual decision to accept him. Instead I want to see His world-engulfing water (the knowledge of the Lord) as the growing history which I am now swimming in through the faith of my ancestors passed on by faith (“from faith to faith”).
