God Set up a Cross

Posted on February 8, 2010 by theoldadam

By Pastor Mark Anderson     The ancient world was a vast field of magnificent temples. Only symbols bespeaking power, permanence, and ultimate authority could faithfully proclaim the mystery of divinity. The gods deserved nothing less, or so thought the ancients. Then God set up a cross. It was forged by nameless servants of imperial authority. [...]

Working towards those “good fruits”

Posted on March 10, 2009 by theoldadam

This post is courtesy of our friend Larry Hughes in Kentucky. It is actually a comment he made in our discussion of Mormonism.  He touched upon something that I have oft noticed myself, the similarities in many Evangelicals, Catholics,  Mormons, Lutherans,  and others with respect to the desire to prove their metal.  Fasten your seatbelts:   [...]

It’s Worse than We Thought

Posted on December 14, 2008 by theoldadam

‘ The Problem’ turns out to be a lot worse than we thought. There is actually not one wit of hope. With all of our reason, with all of our know- how, with all of our striving, with all of our good will… there is no overcoming it. “But we are making advances!” “But we now [...]

Looking Good…on Wood.

Posted on August 18, 2008 by theoldadam

Do you look good on wood? If you’re going to have anything to do with Jesus the Christ, you will find out. Every single person in this world is going to go to the cross…either in this life, or the next. For followers of Jesus it is the same story.  Jesus told us that we [...]

I am basically a ‘Theologian of Glory’

Posted on July 19, 2008 by theoldadam

I know there is a lot (not enough) of talk about the “theology of the cross” vs. the “theology of glory”, and those of us who think we understand this ‘Christian faith’ thing have come down on the side of the cross…but that is not really who I am, and what I believe. I basically [...]

No More Dying?

Posted on June 18, 2008 by theoldadam

Once we become Christians (however you think that happens) the dying is supossed to stop…right? From that point on in our life with Christ, it is upward and onward…right? We will have an immunity from the trials and tribulations that plague other people (non-Christians), and we will not have to deal with the little deaths [...]

When times are rough…

Posted on May 29, 2008 by theoldadam

When things go wrong…terribly wrong, and they will, don’t be afraid to let God have it. Pour out your guts to Him with all you’ve got.   But in  the midst of our suffering God is there. Listen to a short (4 min.) audio clip that drives the point home.

The Theology of Glory vs. the Theology of the Cross

Posted on May 9, 2008 by theoldadam

 Getting better? Gradually progressing up the ladder of righteousness and spirituality? Working on my sanctification?  Well, the late Dr. Forde has a thing or two to say about that type of thinking.  You really ought to read ‘On Being a Theologian of the Cross’         by  Dr. Gerhard Forde We find ourselves in [...]
