Hear O Israel, The Lord Our God, The Lord Is One

Posted on March 31, 2026 by RC

The doctrine of the simplicity of God provides a rather useful fence. The perfections of God are, of course, worthy of our excitement. Their infinity is staggering. In God’s simplicity His infinite perfections show themselves to be one, the glorious colors coming together in a blinding white. Whatever else we delightfully affirm about God, we must affirm that He is one.

It is the very point of the doctrine of simplicity, however, that we don’t diminish one attribute when we remember another. We don’t wax rhapsodic over God’s love, then throw a wet blanket by remembering, “He’s also a God of wrath.” God’s wrath doesn’t restrain the love of God, nor does the love of God restrain His wrath. Rather, in a profound way, they are one and the same thing.

There are some fairly obvious ways that we see this. Psalm 2 shows us the wrath of God coming for a specific reason. The kings of the earth will not kiss the Son. The love of the Son is what provokes the wrath of the Father. We see much the same on the Damascus road, as Jesus accuses Saul, “Why dost thou persecute Me?” Christ’s loving union with the Bride brings wrath on Saul. And in turn, that wrath brings forth love as Saul becomes Paul, a part of the Bride.

Love is universally loved. We who belong to the King rightly celebrate His love for us. But those outside the camp do not stay outside the camp because of a self-conscious rejection of love. Those who think the lost are lost because they have trouble accepting love have been accepting too many foolish bromides from pop psychologists.

The very “gods” the lost create, in their rejection of the Creator, are characterized by “love.” One can safely finish the idolater’s sentence, when he begins, “Well, my god is a god of … .” It’s love, every time. Have you ever heard someone object, when called to repent, “Well, I’m repulsed by your God that forgives the repentant. My god is a god of raging, irrational fury.” No. Everyone loves “love.”

But while love is not diminished by wrath, a love that excludes wrath is not a biblical love. The love clamored for by the lost is a wrathless love. But the love they crave is just unknown. While there is, rightly understood, a universal love of God that includes even those who will be damned, this love is a simple love, one that includes all that God is. There is no wrathless love that comes from God.

The Bible tells us that God causes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust. We find there what some theologians call “common grace.” God acts kindly to all men living. We all need to remember this. When we, or others, in trying to describe their anguish say their situation is “a living hell,” they misunderstand God’s patient love.

Any suffering on earth, save for His passion, is mitigated by His love, less severe than what is due, hell. But even the most wicked among us do not live their earthly lives exclusively in agony. Some unbelieving mothers genuinely rejoice when blessed with a child. Sometimes unbelievers win the Super Bowl and are genuinely happy about it. Even the heathen sometimes sit down to a favorite meal and feel real joy in eating it. Common love is common, love, and real.

Common love, or the universal love of God cannot be separated from common wrath. Because God is one you cannot wrap your arms around His love and miss His wrath.Though the lost will receive the loving gifts of God, they will neither honor Him nor thank Him, and so they earn His eternal wrath.

God’s love is not only inseparable from His wrath, but it is equally bound together with His sovereignty. That is, when God sends the rain to the unjust, He does so knowing that the unjust will not honor Him. But this doesn’t frustrate God. First, He planned it that way. And second, He planned it that way because of one more connection between love and wrath — God loves His wrath. He delights to manifest the infinite perfection of His wrath just as much as His love, because they are one thing.

This, in turn, must inform how we look at the world around us. The problem with the broader culture, that place where they love love, isn’t that they’ve embraced part of the truth, and that our job as sound Christians is to teach them the hard parts. Rather we have to understand that the love they love is no more love than the god they worship is God. Unless they embrace the true and living God, the God of love that is wrath, of wrath that is love, of both that are manifest sovereignly, they will perish. Biblical love requires that we tell the world that their love of their love will earn them only His wrath.

What is the Lord’s Day Worship For? What is its Purpose?

Posted on March 30, 2026 by RC

No, in a manner of speaking. The Lord’s Day isn’t for anything, but is that which everything else is for. The Lutheran theologian Marva Dawn wisely called worship “a royal waste of time.” That provocative phrase wasn’t a denial of the importance of worship, but a denial that worship could ever be a means to something else. It is a ROYAL waste because we meet with the King. It is a WASTE of time because it serves no purpose. Rather it is the purpose that everything else serves.

Sadly, in our day, both those planning worship services and those attending worship services are prone to forgetting this. Too many worship services are designed to give the attendee a “worship experience.” “Come here,” many churches seem to say, “and we will make you feel like you’ve had a powerful experience.” Such is wildly transactional, and leaves the Risen Lord out of the transaction.

Other, often more austere, churches and congregants see the Lord’s Day worship as an educational opportunity. We hurry through our singing, praying, giving, in order to get to the center of the service, the preaching. Here the pastor downloads the fruits of his study into the brains of his students, ahem, I mean congregants. Those in the pew have a good Lord’s Day is when their orderly theology is buttressed, when they’re blessed with perhaps a dash of new information.

Other churches subconsciously see Lord’s Day worship as a sort of spiritual time clock. You punch in when you arrive, punch out at the end of your shift. This information is sent to spiritual payroll which you hope will pay you with a ticket to heaven. It’s ridiculous on its face, of course, but then so are we.

Lord’s Day worship is an earthly positioned shadow of what we will do in eternity. It is what we did in the beginning, what we will do in the end. It harkens to Eden and points to the New Jerusalem. Worship is grounded in the perfect wedding of the first Adam and the first Eve and in the glorious wedding of the Last Adam and His bride, the church. We will live and be welcomed into the unveiled presence of the living God. Worship is a foretaste of this reality. How could it possibly serve something greater?

Like Elisha’s servant that feared the hostile army around them, we need to have the scales removed from our eyes, to see the Lord’s Hosts as they cover their feet, cover their eyes and fly before Him crying “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty. All the world is full of His glory.” Every Lord’s Day we who are in ourselves a people of unclean lips, gather to proclaim His praise. Dressed in His righteousness, washed by His blood.

This is not just the reality, but is ultimate reality. May God grant us the grace to walk by faith and enter weekly into such a sublime royal waste of time.

Pride Before the Fall: Adam, Eve and Mephistopheles

Posted on March 27, 2026 by RC

God is true and every man a liar. Liars, however, dress like their father. That is, just as the devil appears as an angel of light, so he, and his minions, appear as tellers, indeed lovers of the truth. As such we wrongly tend to attach that word “liar” to a specific kind of liar. We think liars are dishonest lawyers, cheating used car salesmen and drug addicts. They are instead pastors, news commentators and doctors of philosophy.

Liars can also be silent. That is, what defines the liar is not just the speaking of lies, but the loving of lies. To believe the lie is at the very least to lie to oneself. Enter Dr. Faustus. Christopher Marlowe’s tale, itself based on earlier folk tales, tells of the man who sold his soul to the devil. It has been retold over the years in sundry forms, including Goethe’s poetic version.

What intrigues us about the story, however, isn’t the form in which it is told. Our interest in the story, what captures our attention is the folly of the trade. Jesus, the Truth, wisely asked what it profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul. Faustus wanted the whole world, and traded his soul to get it.

The truth is, however, that the deal Faustus made was not selling his soul for the world, but trading the truth for lies. Not content with what he had learned in his theological studies, he wanted a different truth. Faustus leaves behind a medieval world of revelation for a renaissance world of science. In doing so he comes to symbolize the whole of western culture. His story is our story, and his end is our end.

Things are not going well for us. The kingdom of God, in the west, in our day, is less visible than it once was. We are, culturally speaking, in full retreat. We have “evangelical” leaders denying the reality of hell. Bible believers are broadly speaking perceived to be backward, throwbacks at best, unhinged jihadists at worst. What went wrong? Does Dr. Faustus have anything to teach us? It is certainly the case that moving from truth to lies is the beginning of the end. But where did that begin? Did our cultural decline begin with the advent of the Renaissance?

That particular epochal shift, however, the renaissance’s rejection of God’s revelation in favor of our own wisdom, is small potatoes compared to the original epochal shift. If we really want to understand the horror of someone selling their soul to the devil, we need to look to history rather than fiction. When Solomon sought the wind, he reaped the whirlwind of vanity. Earlier still, however, our mother and father set the pattern.

If we want to understand how we got where we are, if we want to understand how a learned man like Faustus could play such a fool, we have to go back to the garden. There a man and a woman did far worse than Dr. Faustus. They didn’t merely sell their own souls to the devil. They sold the souls of their children, their children’s children and all who would follow.

Unlike Dr. Faustus, Eve was not looking to cut a deal. Faustus called for the devil, whereas Eve merely conversed with him. One could argue that the root of the first sin, if not the first sin itself is found here. When the serpent first offered up his lies beginning his seduction with these deadly words, “Has God indeed said…” the wise thing, the prudent thing, would have been to end the conversation.

To even begin to consider that perhaps the Word we have been given isn’t really God’s Word is just how we come to believe the lie that God lies. Eve, however, corrected the serpent. No, God had not in fact said they could not eat of any of the trees in the garden. He had in fact said, she said, that they could eat of any tree in the garden, save one. That fruit, she explained, they had been forbidden to eat. Indeed, they were forbidden to touch it.

At this point I suspect the serpent was encouraged. Yes, Eve has stood firm on the generosity and grace of God. But she had taken the first step to believing something other than the truth. She did not take away from what God said; she added to it. God had not said they could not touch the fruit of that tree. Eve is adding her own wisdom to God’s, and making the two equal. Her words become God’s words. Like every Pelagian that would one day call Eve mother, she wanted to contribute. She wanted to give rather than receive. And all it took was to “correct” God, to add to His Word.

It was not long, of course, before this one small step for woman became a giant leap for mankind. The devil offered up a different truth. God had said that Eve would die if she ate of the tree. The Serpent said, “You shall not die.” Eve believed the devil, as have all her children since then.

Imagine the folly of this woman. The devil had to offer an explanation for God’s lie. Eve was living in a paradise that God had created. She enjoyed every imaginable blessing. God had showered her with grace from her beginning. “But,” the devil explained, “God is jealous of His power, and if you eat of the tree, you will be like Him.”

Eve believes God could be jealously guarding His power because what she lusts for is that power. The devil is more crafty than any of the beasts of the field. He knew what to offer, how to cast a shadow on God’s character. Satan knew how to get good and loyal creatures to turn on their Creator. He knew this, of course, because he had been through it himself. He knew the thinking that had lead to his own fall, and led Eve right along that garden path.

Dr. Faustus was a much easier mark than Eve. He was already fallen, already given to heed the wisdom of his “father.” What sets him apart from the rest of us is all that he was able to win. That is, the shocking part of the story isn’t that he gave up so much, his soul, for so little, a lifetime of power, but that we give up so much for even less.

We are not promised great power as he was. Nor are we promised astonishing insights as he was. We are not offered the power to astonish the world as he was. Instead we are offered so much less. If we will believe the lie, all we get in return in our own pride. We sell our souls for the foolish notion that we can help to save our souls, for the fleeting pleasant thought that we’re better than our neighbor. So that we might believe this simple lie- we don’t already stand guilty before the throne of God.

Which highlights the raw silliness of all such soul selling stories. Since Eve believed the serpent we have all been born the property of the serpent. He has our souls, and so need not give up anything to get them. We are fallen from the start. We have nothing to offer Mephistopheles, and he has nothing to offer us. This world belongs to Jesus. Its wisdom is foolishness. Our souls, if we have professed our need to Him, belong to Him. Nothing, not even our own foolish pride, can free us from His loving grip.

God’s truth is not good for our pride. It manifests His glory and exposes our sin. Pride, in the end kept Dr. Faustus from repenting. As his death approached, as he saw the end of the line coming closer, he was given opportunity to turn. Time and again he was called to repent. His contract included an escape clause. All he had to do was release the lies. All he had to do was come to grips with what he was, a creature. But he missed the power. His longing for power made him miss the most potent words ever uttered on our planet- Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner.

Knot Kneading & Not Needing to Know: Me & the Sanford Mess

Posted on March 26, 2026 by RC

One cannot step outside the system. And we are the system. As I argued last week with respect to the war in Iran, truth can be hard to come by, outside of God’s Word and His world. Because every man is a liar. And every word that proceeds from our lips is tainted by our tainted lips. Even the “wisdom” wrought by the new god of our age, AI, still finds its ultimate source in our deceptive hearts.

Which brings us to the kerfuffle in, through, under and around Saint Andrews Chapel, Reformation Bible College and Ligonier Ministries. Charges, both criminal and ecclesiastical, have been attempted. Some “trials” and some “investigations” have taken place. We’ve had dismissals, convictions and appeals. Various courts have expressed their views, and understandably, everyone wants to know what’s going on. I’m not here to tell you.

It’s true that I know virtually the entire cast of this drama, some quite well. It’s true I’ve been close enough in the past to see the sausage being made. It’s even true that I have my own preliminary perspectives, held loosely. And for now, held privately. Because what I don’t have is the knowledge or the power to untie this Gordian knot. About the only thing I can feel confident in is this sad truth- someone isn’t doing right. “It’s all just a misunderstanding” won’t untie the knot either.

Maybe there’s another thing I can be confident of. People, on whichever side of whichever issue, have taken, are taking and will take to social media to lobby for their perspective, long before they know enough to do so. Some readers will be swayed, and add to the throng on every side.

The drama is in the people and institutions that we all “know” in common. The reality is that it is extremely likely that when all the sin of all this mess is weighed on the last day, the majority of the sin will be in the people that we all don’t know- the posters anonymous and otherwise who insist their side is right and their enemy is guilty.

Which is not to say that no one is guilty among those who are center stage. I’m sure there is plenty of guilt to go around, with some much more victims and others much more victimizers. We become victimizers, however, when we pretend we know which are which before all is known. When we forget the wisdom of God who tells us: “The first one to plead his cause seems right, until his neighbor comes and examines him” (Proverbs 18:17).

My counsel for those involved is to seek arbitrators agreeable to every side. And for everyone to steer clear of the court of public opinion. My guess is we will, for the most part, do just the opposite, much to our shame. There are no winners here. There is, however, One who will, in the end, judge all things rightly.

Muzzled Oxen: Financing the Work of the Kingdom

Posted on March 24, 2026 by RC

Trolls, I am convinced, know they are trolls. They make no pretense of making any sense. They are self-consciously jerking us around which makes them more nasty than ignorant. There are, however, some whose hostility is genuine but so powerful that it blinds them to their blindness. They make as much sense as trolls, but they mean it. They are more ignorant than nasty.

Consider, if you will, financing the kingdom of God. I have heard the argument made, when “tickets” to a Sunday morning service are on sale that the gospel should not be for sale. Well and good. Hear, hear. I’ve also heard, on the other hand, complaints about churches and ministries asking for donations. “Why are they always begging for money?” I get that there are some, especially but by no means exclusively among prosperity preachers, who live pretty high on the hog. But, isn’t how money is spent a separate issue from how it is raised? Some people even complain about the lifestyles of those who earn their wealth in the marketplace.

It seems to me that if we object to charging people when we bring the Word of God to bear on their lives and we object to raising funds through donations to finance bringing the Word of God to bear on people’s lives that our real objection is to bringing the Word of God to bear on people’s lives. It seems to me that what we really want is to be served without being reminded of the need to serve those who serve. We resent that it costs money to do the work of the ministry.

My father used to ask this question- do you know what it takes to do a million dollars worth of ministry? His answer- a million dollars. It is true that Jesus feeds thousands with a few loaves and fish. He brings forth coins from the mouth of a fish. It’s true that silver and gold Peter had none but such as he had he gave. It is also true, however, that Paul had this to say:

My defense to those who examine me is this: Do we have no right to eat and drink? Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working? Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock? …For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about? Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? (I Corinthians 4:4-7, 9-11).

There is nothing new under the sun. There were in Paul’s day those who were in it for the money. And there were those who accused others falsely of being in it for the money. The same is true in our own day. Support your pastor. Support the ministries that have been a help to you. And give thanks.

What is Wisdom? Better Still, Who Is Wisdom?

Posted on March 23, 2026 by RC

I’ve written before on the difference between knowledge and wisdom. The two are deeply related, but they are nonetheless distinct. You can have knowledge without wisdom, but not wisdom without knowledge. James tells us “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” (2:19). The demons have the knowledge that there is one God. But they hate what they know, and they react to their knowledge with folly, with an angry fear.

Peter, on the other hand, reacted well to some news he likely didn’t much care for. Jesus, having drawn great crowds, having miraculously fed the five thousand, begins to speak on man’s inability to come to Him without the prior regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. In a word, He begins to talk about predestination. Predictably the crowds thin swiftly-
“From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, ‘Do you also want to go away?’ But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life’” (John 6:66-68).

Wisdom is recognizing that even if you don’t like what you hear Jesus saying, that you still need Jesus, there is no hope without Him. You can almost hear the gears grinding in Peter’s mind. He too sees the crowd dwindling. He knows why- he too likely bristled under Jesus’ mysterious words. But as Peter mulls this over he remembers his ultimate need, and that this mystery speaking Jesus is the only one with the answer.

Wisdom then is the right response to the knowledge that we have. It is a refusal to be ruled by our emotions. The fool is the one who, wanting the world to be different than it is, determines to live in light of his wish. On the other hand, the wise man is the one who sees the world as it is and determines to live in light of reality, however he might feel about it.

The spirit of romanticism runs deep in us. It sees our emotions as the most ultimate reality, and insists reality adjust. If our feelings are the ultimate reality then they are also the ultimate ethic. That is, our feelings are their own justification. Like the demons, however, we find it all too easy to feel wrongly. Because we are angry at our brother we interpret his behavior in the worst possible light. In like manner, because we support our favorite candidate, we interpret his behavior in the best possible light. Because we are down we lose sight of the promises of God, and have the audacity to feel abandoned. Because we enjoy our sin we forget that He is holy.

Wisdom then shows itself as emotional discipline. Such doesn’t mean we don’t feel strongly. Instead it commands that we feel strongly. But accurately. Wisdom is hating all that God hates, loving all that God loves. It means knowing the limits of our knowledge, and withholding judgment until the facts are in. May God grant us the wisdom to love and seek wisdom. Jesus is wisdom’s name.

Motive Power: Doing Right, For All the Right Reasons

Posted on March 20, 2026 by RC

God, from a certain perspective, isn’t terribly particular with respect to our motives. Inside the church there are those who argue that the right and heroic thing to do is the right and heroic thing because it is right and heroic. Spiritual maturity is measured on the Stoic scale. Others suggest that our driving goal must be simply — and alone — to please God. Still others, crasser still, take the view that we should do right in order to do well, that good things happen to those who do good. The thing is that the Bible presents all three motives before us.

Consider Moses’ parting sermon. Deuteronomy ends less with a long catalog of the grace of God in the lives of His people and more with a series of promised blessings and cursings. Moses, speaking the very words of God, is impenitently and flamboyantly crass — obey God and He will bless you in the city. He will bless you in the country. And he’ll bless you when you are young and when you are old. He will, if you obey, bless your flocks, your household, your kneading bowl, and your wok. Your goldfish will have baby goldfish that all make the honor roll.

Disobey God, on the other hand, and there is no end to how badly things will go. Your cell phone won’t work. When your car breaks down. In the middle of the traffic jam. On your way to see that important client who holds your company’s future in his angry hands.

Jesus, on the other hand, from time to time seems to pick up on the Stoic theme. He reminds us that those who follow after Him must be prepared to pick up the cross. We have to consider the cost. We must deny ourselves. Later on, however, He reminds us that He came to give life abundant, that He is the Good Shepherd. As for His example, Jesus seemed driven by, more than anything else, a desire to delight His Father. He glorified the Father who was glorified in Him.

Is it possible that all these motives have their place? When Jesus commanded that we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, He told us more which direction to go and less what fuel to use to get there. That said, one motive should have no place with us — guilt. As we seek to grow in our obedience to His law, we must always do so mindful that we fail, mindful that Jesus alone succeeded, and mindful that He succeeded for us. God is through being angry with you. His wrath is gone forever, as far from you as the east is from the west. Fearing His anger, then, won’t be much of a goad toward the good.

Indeed, seeking to keep God’s law in order to keep at bay His wrath is evidence that we are indeed under the law and under His wrath. It is seeking the kingdom of God and our righteousness. Those foolish enough to go this way will spend eternity weeping and gnashing their teeth. Using God’s law to escape His wrath is like using His grace to escape His law — foolish, destructive, and counter-productive. This is how the Gentiles live.

Trust in Him because He commands it and, as Lord of heaven and earth, He is due our fealty and allegiance. Trust in Him because He delights when you do so. Even the angels in heaven rejoice. Trust in Him because at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. Trust in Him because He is altogether trustworthy. And all these things will be added unto you.
