Beyond Liturgy; Embracing A Theology of Life

When a fellow comes forward in all sorts of curious garments and says he is a priest, the poorest child of God may say, 'Stand away and don't interfere with my office—I am a priest—I know not what you may be. You surely must be a priest of Baal, for the only mention of the word vestments in Scripture is in connection with the temple of Baal.' The priesthood belongs to all the saints! They sometimes call you laity, but the Holy Spirit says of all the saints, 'You are God's cleros'—you are God's clergy. Every child of God is a clergyman or a clergywoman. There are no priestly distinctions known in Scripture. Away with them! Away with them forever!" - Charles Spurgeon

Wake Up Church! (Yes, That Means You!)

It's been a wild couple of weeks. Here in my home state of Florida, we have been subject to the equivalent of a donkey kick to the teeth. Hurricane Helene has been far more devastating than we could have imagined. As the hurricane was wreaking its devastation across the state, I went with my family to a rental home. While the winds were tearing apart the landscape, I was watching aghast at the Steve Lawson controversy. If you aren't familiar with what has gone down, essentially a very conservative, Reformed pastor has been caught in an adulterous affair.
