Morning Prayer: 8/31/2022
Halley’s “Bible Handbook:” geography
of Jerusalem as well as being off the major thoroughfares.
For Psalm30, Prof. Calvin summarizes
the chapter. David acknowledges his sin and calls on others to follow him in
worship.
Zondervan Pictorial Bible: “Ishtar:”
the consort of Baal, a goddess of fertility, resulting in prostitution in
varied places, men and women.
ISBE
on “Leviticus:” notes the “covenant” is suffused as the predicate to the book, although
“berith” is only mentioned 10 times in Leviticus.
For
Genesis 25: Prof. Keil gives the progeny of Ishamel prior
to the start of the story of Isaac.
For
Judges 14, Prof. Keil comments on Samson’s killing a lion without a weapon.
For
Isaiah 13.19-22, Prof. Henry comments on the doom of Babylon.
ISBE
on Johannine Theology, Prof. I. Howard Marshall discusses the “communal” aspect
in John. The Shepherd of the flock.
For
Mathew 11.20-30, Prof. Jamieson comments on Christ’s condemnation of Chorazin
and Bethsaida. And He seemed so nice but now He’s so judgmental.
For
Romans 8, Prof. Hodge notes the assurance that is the believers due to Christ’s
justifying work.
For
Acts 2.14-36, Prof. Henry offers remarks on Peter’s sermon in Jerusalem. Boldness
from the man who shrunk and denial his Master.
EDT:
“The Last Judgment:” we would add, the forgotten and by-passed subject.
For
Systematic Theology (locus 2), Prof. Hodge is discussing
the physics of the brain, electrons, vibrations and the like in relation to
ideas and the soul.
For
Theology Proper (locus 2), Prof. Reymond is discussing the covenant of grace
under the OT and NT. He cites the WCF in full.
For Theology
Proper (locus 2), Prof. Berkhof is working with varied views of the “Being” of
God in relation to God’s attributes.
ODCC:
“General Thanksgiving:” the Collect from the BCP, written in 1661 by Bishop E.
Reynolds, one of the gems of the BCP.
For
Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 1 (1-100) Prof. Schaff continues his expatiation
and long-talking of Acts 15. Paul’s the man—freedom. Peter’s the hypocrite—bondage.
For
Medieval Christianity, Vol. 4 (590-1073), Prof. Schaff comments on the Bishops,
archdeacons, and civil magistrates with their disciplinary procedures, thus,
bringing Christian discipline to the Holy Roman Empire.
For
the Swiss Reformation Vol. 8 (1519-1605), Prof. Schaff cites a letter by Calvin
that surely show that “departure” from Rome was not desired but was forced on
them. Rather, reformation of the existing church was desired.
For
Dr. Cranmer, Prof. MacCulloch notes that in 1537 Dr. Cranmer was staffing his house
with reliable evangelicals and forging new and reliable relationship with some
Kentish gentlemen. The old Warham machine was still strong in Kent.
For
the Creeds of Christendom, Vol. 1, Prof. Schaff takes
another pot-shot against the Formula of Concord. Too divisive and narrow is his
take. He’s a late 19th century unionist who can’t live, it would
seem, with theological diversity. I’ll take a LCMS divine all day long over an
ELCA divine. I’ve served with both in the military.
1994
CCC: our infallibilists in paragraphs #762 affirm the church in the OT by
prophecy, etc., and in the NT. Fair summary.
Westminster
Confession of Faith 15.2:
CHAPTER 15
Of Repentance unto Life
2. By it, a sinner, out of the sight
and sense not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and odiousness of
his sins, as contrary to the holy nature, and righteous law of God; and upon
the apprehension of his mercy in Christ to such as are penitent, so grieves
for, and hates his sins, as to turn from them all unto God, purposing and
endeavoring to walk with him in all the ways of his commandments.
