Welcome to… Confessions & Reflections of One Untimely Reformed:
One thing is needed. When obtained, is it meant to be protected from itself? Because that’s precisely what I learned growing up Baptist. Don’t misunderstand me. Baptists, rhetorically, are not against the beauty of covenants. And I still am one. We make and keep covenant in the Christian Body. But the monergistic strength was not emphasized. That is what I’m coming late to understand.
(I’m coming back to this. It’s nonsense currently) To Read into the text is to live within yourself to get out of yourself if you get in earlier in Christ. So, three dimensional joy sees by being further up, a little higher up the mountain gazing down upon the flat pages below. You’re at a higher vantage point where one can see more, enjoy a landscape revealing greater glory and greater glory … I’m not further in yet, but I am further up; to be further in, that must be the fourth dimension yet unseen and unheard.
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.
