What is the theology of glory and the theology of the cross?

Posted on June 22, 2026 by RC

We feel an appropriate tension in the relationship between Christians and the world. We serve a Lord who came to bring life abundant (John 10:10), who has overcome the world (John 16:33). Jesus is bringing all things under subjection (Ephesians 1:22). He will see every knee bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord, to the glory of the Father (Philippians 2:10).

Jesus is the last Adam succeeding where the first Adam failed, not only in obeying God’s law perfectly, not only atoning for our failure to keep the law, but in fulfilling the dominion mandate. The church, which is the last Eve, or bride of the last Adam, is a help suitable to Jesus in fulfilling that calling. We are in union with Him, bone of His bone. We are to be about the business of pressing the crown rights of King Jesus.

Trouble is, we, like the disciples before us, are often zealous more for our own success, our own power, our own glory than we are for the kingdom. They wanted to know who would be first in the kingdom. We are often much the same. The notion of “the theology of glory” is a means to warn us against this temptation.

Rooted in Lutheran thinking, this warning reminds us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (II Corinthians 2:10), that the first shall be last and the last first (Matthew 20:16). We are more called to die for our enemies than to kill them, to give freely than to take from them, to turn the other cheek, even to live in peace and quietness with all men, as much as is possible. This, Lutherans wisely call “the theology of the cross.” We are to live lives of sacrifice.

The prosperity Gospel presents an unbalanced picture on the glory side. This heresy teaches that it is God’s will that we all enjoy great health and wealth, that as children of the King we all ought to be living like princes. The ascetic heresy presents an unbalanced picture on the cross side- don’t eat, don’t drink, don’t touch. Here we frown on God’s blessings, seeing then as a sign of worldliness rather than gifts from God’s hand. Poverty becomes a virtue in itself. Worse still this perspective can degenerate to a denial of the reign of Christ over all things.

Our calling is not to pursue our own comfort, far less our own glory. Rather we are called to make known the glory of our King. We are to make visible the invisible kingdom of God. We do this, however, through rather ordinary means. As we work faithfully, rather than claw our way up the financial ladder, as we change diapers, rather than count our gold, as He is exalted and we are laid low, we are not eschewing glory in order to embrace the cross, but are instead embracing the glory of the cross. We live by dying, win by losing. We conquer by retreating and boast in our weakness.

Jesus reigns. But we His subjects are not many wise, not many powerful, not many noble. Therefore let the one who boasts boast in the Lord. The more we manifest Christ and Him crucified, the more we manifest His sovereign reign.

The Absolute Fullness of the Great Commission

Posted on June 19, 2026 by RC

It is false to say that what we don’t know can’t hurt us, especially when it comes to the Bible. If ever there were anything we need to know, it is the very Word of God. That said, what is in all likelihood worse than what we don’t know about the Bible is what we do know that just isn’t so. Consider the Great Commission.

We ought to be familiar with this. These are not just the words of Jesus, as if that weren’t enough, but the “last” words of Jesus. His parting command just before He ascends to His heavenly throne. He commands that which is of eternal consequence. Jesus doesn’t tell the disciples to wash behind their ears or to remember to send thank-you cards after Christmas. No, Jesus tells His disciples to bring in the lost, to go to the four corners of the world.

And that’s where we stop. It is not only true, but a vital truth, that the Great Commission includes the call to preach the good news, to tell others about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, to call all men everywhere to repent. It is also vitally true that this is not at all the whole of the Great Commission.

Perhaps because we are selfish, or because we live in an era of cultural decline, too many in the church have adopted a narrow view of the gospel. Jesus, I am told, came to save my soul. Once that is accomplished, He calls me solely to be used by Him to seek the salvation of others. If God should bless, He calls these believers to have as their sole calling the winning of more souls. The good news, under this perspective under this perspective, is that Jesus came to save sinners.

Jesus came to save sinners. However, He did not come just to save souls. He came to save bodies, to save families, communities, nations. To save, to redeem, to remake the whole groaning creation. He calls us, the church, His bride, to be the Eve to His Adam, a help suitable to Him in the great work of dominion.

We need not leave the Great Commission to see this. The command, along with the fullness of the gospel, is there already. He calls us here to make disciples of the nations. Some argue this still focuses on soul winning. “Nations,” in this view, isn’t the political or cultural institutions. Instead, it refers to the need to take the message to the outermost parts of the world. We are not to sit on our haunches, but we are to cross land and sea, seeking by the Spirit to make children of hell into the children of God.

Fair enough. Even if this part of the Great Commission is focused on soul winning, what do we do with the next part — “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded”? Jesus certainly commanded that we repent, that we believe on His name. Did He not also command us to be meek, to be peacemakers, to mourn? That we should hunger and thirst for righteousness. He told us where to find righteousness, that not one jot or tittle of the law would pass. Jesus taught us to pray His kingdom would come on earth as it has in heaven. We know such is happening when His will is done here, as it is there.

Our labors, then, in instructing the found, in calling them toward godliness, in pursuing obedience, are not distractions from the Great Commission but fulfillments of it. Of course, we must seek His righteousness, that righteousness that can become ours only by the faith He must first give us. But we are called also to seek His kingdom. That kingdom, as the Lord’s Prayer demonstrates, is not just an invisible realm within the hearts of believers. Rather, it is everywhere, especially where His own joyfully confess Him.

Discipling the nations, teaching them to observe all that He has commanded, then, isn’t polishing the brass on a sinking ship. It is instead cultivating the mustard seed. A failure to disciple the nations even as we evangelize them, on the other hand, isn’t to be about the most important work. It is instead to run the ship aground.

The social gospel was all social and no gospel. Mere pietism, on the other hand, is impious. We are to proclaim the lordship of Christ over our souls, over our bodies, over our families, over our churches, over our communities, over our nations, over the whole of the groaning creation. So, let us repent and preach the good news, that the kingdom of God has come, that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of the Father, and that of the increase of His government there will be no end.

Lessons From Fools and Those Who Fool Them

Posted on June 18, 2026 by RC

Faith means believing God. If He said it, that settles it. Wisdom begins with the fear of God. The fear of God begins with believing God. And bad things happen when we don’t. One of the things we, both inside the church and outside don’t believe God about is sexual ethics. The fool is enticed by the immoral woman. The result isn’t damaging one’s reputation. It isn’t an STD. The result is death and destruction:

Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths;
For she has cast down many wounded,
And all who were slain by her were strong men.
Her house is the way to hell,
Descending to the chambers of death. (Proverbs 7: 26, 27).

I fear when we hear these words we think them mere metaphor. We think Solomon gave us a vivid word picture to tell us adultery is not a good thing. Instead, Solomon, under the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit tells us that this pathway leads to death and to hell. In short, we think God’s kidding, that He doesn’t really mean what He says. And that may just be the most dangerous thing of all.

The church is little different from the world. I’ve had young couples, professing believers, ask me to do their pre-marital counseling. I’m happy to do it. It became apparent that this couple was living together. That didn’t shock me, sadly. What shocked me is that they asked if that was wrong. I doubt their consciences had been silent. I fear the pulpits they sat under had been.

How does that happen? Because we are so prone to separating our faith from His Word. We see this also in Proverbs 7. When the immoral woman approaches the foolish young man, she explains that she has everything already set up. Her husband would be gone for days. The sheets were washed and perfumed. Oh, and this, she said, “I have peace offerings with me. Today I have paid my vows” (verse 14). What? She is saying, in essence, “I have performed my duty before God. He and I are square. So now is a great time for some adultery.”

She thought her performance of religious ceremony freed her up to offend the living God. Her mindset was that the two had little to do with each other. Just like in our day. And just as Solomon warned, destruction comes in the wake. Real, powerful, painful destruction. Her steps lead to death.

Sometimes that death happens at the abortion mills. One out of every six people procuring an abortion is a self-professed evangelical. Not religious. Not Protestant. Evangelical. Sex trafficking, child sexual abuse, all these things begin when we stop believing God. Silence on what God has said is reckless endangerment, a failure to shepherd. We’ve succumbed to the ways of the world, and the result is rot, horror and death.
May God grant us the grace to believe His law.

We Must Pray, With Fervor, Maranatha, Lord Jesus

Posted on June 16, 2026 by RC

I used to say “Last things last.” Eschatology was, I knew, not easy. I figured I, and others, should master the easier stuff before moving on. Eventually I came to understand that when God reveals something to us we have no business saying, “I’ll get to that later.” I came to understand that eschatology matters, that understanding both where we are and where we are going are necessary to know which way to go.

I’ve never, however, lost sight of the first truth of eschatology. We ought to be praying for Jesus to come. Were Jesus to come today, in the twinkling of an eye my eschatology would change and my heart would rejoice.

Purportedly someone once asked Martin Luther what he would do today if he knew Jesus were coming tomorrow. “Plant a tree” he provocatively responsed. I embrace the wisdom that says we must not pick a date, sell all we have and wait for Him, camping on a hill. As the exiles in Babylon were encouraged to put down roots, so are we as we await a better country. I also embrace, however, absolute confidence that when He comes everything not wood, hay or stubble will survive into the new heavens and the new earth (I Cor. 15).

All of which is why, we labor diligently for the future of the church. We seek to see her re-formed, washed with the water of the Word. Yet we still pray with joy, fervency and hope, “Come, Lord Jesus.” Nothing will re-form the church more fully, more immutably, more gloriously than the consummation of the kingdom.

The book of Revelation, whatever mysteries we still don’t understand, reveals parallels between the circumstances in the days in which it was written and our own days. Christ’s church was weak and compromised. The world was pressing hard on the church as persecutions began to ramp up.

Into the midst of that situation the Spirit led John to reveal this glorious truth. Jesus was already on His throne ruling and that He would, in the end, bring all things under subjection. He encouraged the saints receiving this message, then and now, to be encouraged, to be of good cheer. To move into the future with boldness. Just as the martyrdom of Stephen was a great victory for the kingdom, so is the death of every saint, precious in the sight of the Lord.

For the dead, there is no more dying. For the living when Christ returns, there is no more dying. For the dead, there is the unveiled presence of God. For the living when Christ returns, there is the unveiled presence of God. For the dead, there is rest. For the living when Christ returns, there is rest. For the dead in His presence, they cry out from beneath the altar, “Go, Lord Jesus.” For the living, we cry out from His footstool, “Come, Lord Jesus.” Together, the bride cries “Come.”

What is inflation? Another Case of Government Dishonesty

Posted on June 15, 2026 by RC

The economist Milton Friedman has said that his deepest regret was suggesting withholding to the Federal government. Time was that each of us used to have to write a check to pay our income taxes. That stings. When, however, someone takes our money before we see it, not only does it sting less, but we face the temptation to blame our employer who signs our checks. Weirder still, we face the temptation on tax day to thank the government for our return. Employers take our money; government gives some back.

Inflation, as defined by the government, follows the same rhetorical deception. What the government regularly reports as our “inflation” rate is actually the Consumer Price Index. It is the measure of the change in price over time for a particular set of goods and services. If a gallon of milk, a gallon of gas and a gallon of Dapper Dan pomade cost $12 this month last year, but costs $13.20 this month this year we have an annual inflation rate of 10%.

When that happens we get angry at the oil companies, the grocery stores and the stockholders at Dapper Dan for being greedy. We blame them for inflation. The truth is higher prices are the fruit of inflation rather than inflation itself. Not surprisingly the real culprit is the federal government. What is inflated in inflation isn’t prices, but the supply of money. It’s the number of dollars chasing the goods and services in the economy.

Imagine if you will a mythical country we’ll call Mythical Economic Lesson Land. The only goods and services in this tiny land are ten loaves of bread. The only money in this tiny land are ten one dollar bills. How much does a loaf of bread cost? Those of you who said anything other than $1, please try again. Ten dollars in an economy which has only ten loaves of bread. A dollar a loaf, ten out of ten times.

Now imagine that a nefarious Dr. Evil type shows up on the scene. We’ll call him John Maynard Keynes. He flies his plane over our country and drops out ten more crisp dollar bills. What happens? Has anyone gotten any richer? The economy still only has ten loaves of bread in it. Now answer this question- how much is a loaf of bread? Ten loaves, twenty dollars. Each loaf is now $2. Ten pieces of paper hasn’t grown the economy one bit. It’s merely changed the price.

Qui bono? Suppose you were in this mythical land and needed to borrow a loaf of bread before Keynes showed up. You would owe the lender $1, or the equivalent of a loaf of bread. After the airdrop, however, you still owe $1, but that’s now half a loaf of bread. You’d benefit from this inflation. But what if you had been wise, scrimped and saved and had $1 in the bank before the new money showed up? You had the future promise of a loaf of bread. After the new money, you have a future promise for half a loaf of bread.

You can complicate things all you like. But it won’t change any of the above. You can inflate through fractional reserve banking, through deficit spending, even through a massive goldrush. You can add or subtract changes in efficiency. It still doesn’t change the facts, nor the mechanism. Economics doesn’t care how the money supply is inflated. It will still react the same way.

Inflation, at the end of the day, is the government stealing the purchasing power of our money to finance their agenda. Blame Uncle Sam.

Wealth, Poverty, Gratitude and the Giver of Good Gifts

Posted on June 12, 2026 by RC

“Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die: Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.”

So the wisdom of Agur, found in Proverbs 30, reminds us. Though sin knows no tax brackets — the poor can be greedy and the rich envious — peculiar circumstances tend to produce peculiar temptations. Agur fears that should God lead him into poverty, he might be tempted to steal and thus profane the name of God. He fears in turn that should God lead him into great riches, he might forget God. He asks God to protect him, through His providence, from both temptations.

Many of us, oddly, are in both categories, at least in some sense. In a culture driven by dissatisfaction, we can all at least feel poor. The Joneses stay always ahead of us, pushing us onward. A rocky economy feeds our economic insecurities, and we are tempted, if not to steal, at least to cut some moral corners. Virtue and integrity can be expensive, and we can always buy them back when better times come.

On the other hand, we are not the 99 percent but the 1 percent, in the 99th percentile. That is, by world historical standards, compared to all the people who ever lived on this planet, even if we are among the most poor in America, each of us is in the top one percent in terms of comforts, luxury, ease and wealth. Our poor are wealthier than kings of old. There is no shame in being poor. Nor guilt in being wealthy. There is, however, shame in stealing and guilt in failing to give thanks.

A God-centered life, then, is not found in feeding a constant craving for more, better, newer. Neither, however, is it found in embracing an ascetic aesthetic, eschewing the good gifts of God. He is the giver of every good gift, both contentment in abasement and a shiny new car. He is not impressed with our piety if we accept the former but turn up our nose at the latter, thinking ourselves too pure for such crass blessings.

The issue, then, isn’t the size of our bank accounts or the square footage of our homes. The issue is the perspective of our hearts. A God-centered life is one that gives thanks in all His providences. It was one of the wealthiest men of ancient antiquity who spoke these wisest of words: “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21).

The issue isn’t in what we have but in what we want. What do we long for? What do we daydream about? How do we measure ourselves and the success or failure of our efforts? Who do we look up to, and what is it about them that we admire? The broader culture is obsessed with the rich and the famous. Tabloids at the grocery store, tabloid television, Internet gossip sites — these all feed our insatiable desire to know what they are like, how they live.

The evangelical world, as is so often the case, has its own version of the cultural phenomenon. We have rock-star preachers, Lollapalooza-like conferences and concerts, and, as well, Internet sites complete with all the latest gossip on who is hot, who is not, and the reasons why.

We, however, are in the world but are not to be of the world. God calls us to aspire for not just something better but the one needful thing. He commands that we, in living a God-centered life, to seek God’s kingdom, to pursue God’s righteousness.

We are blessed to be shown the way to the one thing that will satisfy. A God-centered life, in the end, isn’t self-denying. It, instead, is how we find ourselves. Jesus said we would find our lives in losing them. Augustine said our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Him. And John Piper reminds us that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. The glory of the contentment, the blessing of the car, is not found in the contentment nor in the car, but in the Giver of these good gifts.

Our calling is to look through every good gift to the One giving it. He is the goodness in which the gifts live and move and have their being. He gives Himself. This is the path of life. Our end is that we would be in His presence, that we would rejoice to be there. His promise is not only that we will find pleasures at His right hand, but that we will find them forevermore (Ps. 16).

Whether grasping for more or turning up our noses at what He has given, we miss Him. The Lord blesses us and He keeps us. He makes His face to shine upon us and He is gracious to us. The Lord lifts up His countenance upon us and gives us peace, now and forevermore (Num. 6:24–26).

The Time Dividend: Don’t Cash Those Checks Yet

Posted on June 11, 2026 by RC

There’s no mistaking the power of artificial intelligence. I’ve seen it at work and count me among the impressed. That said, as is our wont, I’m afraid we might have gotten a bit ahead of ourselves, whether we are Chicken Little, or wearing rose hued spectacles. That is, it’s not as bad as some people fear, nor as good as some people promise.

First, to the fearful. The fear hype is most potent when we imagine a world in which the machines attain consciousness, and determine we are no longer needed. This is the termination point for the Terminator generation. But it’s not going to happen. No way. No how. AI does not, will not and can not will to do anything. It is, of necessity, impersonal, devoid of spirit. No one would ever confuse me with a tech expert. But I know a thing or two about people. AI might fool me into thinking I’m communicating with a human. But that wouldn’t make AI human.

The second fear is that AI is going to put us all out of work. It won’t. It can’t. Our desires are infinite. AI might crowd out this profession or that. Technology can do that. Not many people enjoyed a long career making carriages after Henry Ford gave us the Model T. Increased efficiency, however, doesn’t mean we can’t work. It means we’ll work where we’re most needed. We’ll be more productive, not less so.

Ironically, the overblown promises intersect with this second fear. “Experts” tell us we’ll all soon be reaping a time dividend brought to us by AI. We’ll improve our efficiency so powerfully that we’ll move to the four hour work week. Yeah, no. AI may well be the most potent efficiency increasing tool the world have ever known. It isn’t, however, the first and won’t be the last. Lesson two of economics– we live in a world of scarcity. (Lesson one- God owns it all.)

Increased efficiency, whatever its source, leaves us with choices. It can increase our tangible wealth, or it can increase our intangible wealth. Consider the lawnmower. A lawnmower, whether the latest zero turn or an old school push mower, makes cutting grass wildly less labor intensive than, say, a pair of scissors. Before the lawnmower, did we spend all our waking ours in the lawn with scissors? Or did we have maybe not such a nice lawn? The time saving some poured into more time on the hammock with a glass of lemonade, while others poured into improving their landscaping to Versailles levels. Most of us fall somewhere in between.

Which is always the case with labor saving technologies. They’re good things. They will not, however, eliminate all thorns and thistles and take us back to the Garden. The old saw that any given technology is neither good nor evil has some merit. Good and evil, like consciousness and intention, are human realities, not mechanical. That said, every blessing, including technology, comes with subtle moral challenges that the wise watch out for. Do not panic. And do not hold your breath waiting for a just-around-the-corner golden age. You’ll find work. And work will find you.

The Spirit of Rebellion vs. The Spirit of Wisdom

Posted on June 9, 2026 by RC

Though I haven’t the infernal wisdom that C.S. Lewis demonstrated in his classic work The Screwtape Letters, I think I know something about at least some of the devil’s stratagems. The Screwtape Letters, you remember, purported to be a series of letters written from senior demon Screwtape to junior demon Wormwood, explaining how best to assault his “patient,” the young man under his charge. Lewis’ insights were eerily uncanny, as if he really had been spying on the devil and his minions. I have no secret wiretap; I’m merely guessing.

First, the devil is, I’m sure, rather proud of his work in the culture at large as we ditch that old devil modernism for the devil in the new dress, postmodernism. How we Christians bravely fought to tear down the smug certainty of the scientific worldview, to drive the enlightenment into the shadows. We have destroyed Frankenstein’s monster. There are precious few people left who are convinced that the scientific method is the only pathway to truth.

The devil’s success, however, is that there are likewise precious few people who are convinced that there is any pathway to truth. We no longer need to bow down to the mighty scientist as the grand arbiter of truth. Now we bow to the man in the mirror, as each of us has his own truth.

It cost the devil nothing to get us to buy this latest lie. He promised that if we would but embrace relativism, we would enjoy peace. No longer would my understanding of truth war against yours, because even when they contradict, we can both be right. Now we can all get along.

Except for this. If, in your reality, you have the right-of-way, and in my reality I have the right-of-way, all our smiling confidence that we can both be right won’t keep our fenders from trading paint. To Saddam, he had done nothing wrong. To Bush he had. And soon 50,000 men, women, and children were dead. But we should have known. The devil never gives what he promises when he makes us a deal.

This success, however, is really small potatoes. The devil may take a sadistic joy in muddying up the world around us. But it is not the strategic ground he so desperately seeks. Victory for him isn’t confusing the world; it’s seducing the church. I believe that, like any good strategist, he is thinking several moves ahead. Relativism exists, in the devil’s game plan, not for the folly of the world, but as a tool to assault the church.

But how could relativism make headway in the church of Christ? We are the people of the Book. We profess creeds, affirmations of objective truths, that are true for everyone. Surely we are immune from the folly of relativism. Sadly, we are not only not immune, but are not, in truth, people of the Book. The thin spiritual veneer that the devil drapes over his poison is simple enough — it is the Holy Spirit. The only thing that can trump God’s Word, is God Himself. It is ordinary and pedestrian to take our cues from the Bible. It’s so much more exciting and pious to hear direct from the Author. Thus relativism gallops into the church.

This problem is by no means restricted to the more flamboyant pentecostals. Otherwise austere Presbyterians have been known to baptize their sin with this bilge. Adultery may be wrong for you, some have reasoned, but to me it’s okay, because the Holy Spirit has granted me peace about the matter. The command to obey may be okay for you, but the Holy Spirit has given me a spirit of freedom. We enlist the Spirit to justify not our souls, but our sins.

This is the spirit of our age. The driving force behind the culture’s embrace of relativism is the intense desire to justify away our own sins. Remove the objective standard of the law, and you remove the accountability that comes with it. It works the same with the Holy Spirit. Remove the objective standard of the Word, and you remove the accountability that comes with it.

The devil likewise delights that we in the church are faithfully about the business of trying to remove the speck in the world’s eye, while blissfully ignoring the mote in our own. The foolishness of relativism is indeed laughable. But it is also understandable. They are, after all, fools. Folly is what they do. But we have been given a spirit of wisdom, and we still succumb to the folly.

For all our worldliness, the world follows the church. They do the silly things they do because we do the silly things that we do. Which means, in turn, that the fastest way to rid the world of its folly is to remove it from the church. Do we want courts that treat the Constitution as the law of the land, rather than a quaint relic? More important than letter-writing campaigns, or rallies around the flag, is for us to begin treating the Bible as our law.

The spirit of wisdom is the Spirit of Wisdom. He is indeed speaking to us, telling all of us that there is but one truth. The Spirit is speaking to us, telling us to feed upon the Word of God, for therein is life, and life abundant. He is calling us to submit to Him, by submitting to His Word, the very words of life. May He grant us the ears to hear Him where He speaks.
