I read this article by Vincent Cheung where he makes an incredible explanation of biblical hermeneutics using deduction over induction! If only all biblical preachers and teachers would follow this type of hermeneutics! If they did all false and liberal theology would be impossible! Vincent Cheung is right in his passion that even in the good reformed circles many good men instead of humbly admitting they either, do not accept what the scriptures say or understand it, plague God's word with mysterious, paradoxes and things hard to reconcile. There is legitimacy in not going beyond what God's word says. But there is also pride and cowardice, which far too easily cries out mystery when there is none to be found.

This is the best short answer and encouragement for what is Covenant Theology I have read, and I have read hundreds of pages of material on this subject. I have made it slightly more readable in some places for my readers convenience. This is being quoted from my forth coming book, Love Never Fails, in my exposition of Covenant Theology.

Psalm 101:5, The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, Him I will not endure. God hates a proud or haughty look on the faces and hearts of men. The Lord simply will not tolerate or endure it. It is a sin and God will punish this sin. Isaiah 2:11, The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down. I assume this much is accepted by most. I would even assume many nonbelievers accept this much.

Within this half dozen pack of tracts I am continually amazed at the striking different gospels, which is presented within their few pages. Although published by the same company these tracks have many sundry authors. Likewise and sadly the gospel message I find at times contained in them are just as sundry. When I say this I am particularly referring to one aspect, which draws a dividing line and separates the 40 or so tracks I have received into two groups. This distinction is simple: why did God save us? Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:10:32 +0100 http://www.osheadavis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=136&Itemid=31 Standing on the premise God's glory or essence is His infinite wisdom, infinite moral perfection (heart)[1] and infinite happiness I will press forward. To say what God's glory is even more simplified would be to say: God is an infinitely glorious soul. This is who God is. Furthermore, God is Spirit. He does not have a body. He is an invisible infinite Spirit or soul. He is infinite energy in one constant unstoppable motion. He is, The Infinite Existence, as His Name Yahweh describes. This is why Yahweh's glory, or His essence, or that He being an invisible Spirit or Soul means He is: infinite wisdom, holiness and happiness itself. When conceiving of God's many sundry and wonderful attributes they can all be traced back to these three, or back to the core of His infinitely glorious Soul Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:11:27 +0100 http://www.osheadavis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=135&Itemid=31 (This is from my forth coming book: God's Love Never Fails) .... (1) How infinite must the Father's love be for His Son! How indescribable is the act and out pouring of the Father's pleasure into His Son in His expression of His love for Him. Those who are in Christ will experience this pleasure of the Father! Christ is the outshining or radiance of the Father's Glory! In other words, God the Father, overflows so much in Himself with His Glory and Glorious perfections that Jesus Christ from the embodiment of this outshining Glory is eternally begotten of the Father, being His own rightfully Person. Therefore, as much as the Father loves, values and knows how wonderful He is and how wonderful is the expression of His Glory, Jesus Christ being the exact radiance of His Glory, does also love, value and know how wonderful the Father is!

This doctrine is similar to point three concerning Christ's righteousness. In order for our Lord to be a complete Savior, Redeemer or Substitute lamb all He needed to do is pay the debt so that our negative bank record showed $0. All He needed to do as a substitute was take on all our sins and then under go all their deserved punishment. But what we have learned is that Christ did much more that this. He not only paid off our debt, He added an infinitely valuable treasure of His own righteousness to be added to our back account. Our bank record was in the negative, but now not only does our record show our debt paid but positively that here is billions of dollars to the good. In the Father's own eye, this is pure delight for Him to see, because we are credited with Christ's merits as our positive good.

This is a letter, which I wrote a friend of mine, who read a poor commentary on 1John 2:2. It was immediately apparent to me that my friend was confused and their pure gospel was under attacked. This person then emailed me about this the following day. I responded with answering several of their questions. I am passionate to post this letter here because it revolves around one of the most fundamental pillars of Christianity itself. It is easy to say Jesus saved me, but how is the question. See, what I have come to know is that reformed or biblical theology is Cross theology. It all happened, salvation that is, at Calvary! Paid in full! Other unbiblical misconceptions, takes away the glory of the true biblical foundation, which is the only sure rock that the church can rest its faith on: Christ fully accomplished salvation on the cross, end of story. This is what faith believes: the Lord Jesus Christ did everything to save me, He did it all, even free grace to cause me to believe. He finished His work on the cross. Accordingly, my salvation is finished. Christ is a complete Savior, and, therefore, no one compares to His Honor and Fame!

If you would like to read it, then please email me from this site and I will be glad to send it to you. The sermon is called: Jesus Christ entering into His Glory worthy of great Admiration. It was preached in 1739 from Psalm 24. I hope to work out a partnership with the Edwards institution at Yale in publishing some of Edwards rare sermons on this site and in books.

I often hear strange notions concerning worship, particularly pertaining to corporate worship and what is its main purpose. One such idea, which I see running around this arena, is the following (for kindness sake I will not give the real name of this person but will can them Jason): We sing as the overflow of our actions, and we sing to draw near to God to fill us up. But only so that He can SEND US OUT! Thu, 21 May 2009 13:12:59 +0100
