Embrace Humble Orthodoxy

While watching the New Attitude 2008 Conference video (see it below – it’s a good vid), I was reminded of Humble Orthodoxy. I’ve posted on it before.

Humble Orthodoxy

Josh Harris preaches a message I need to keep hearing. Now that I’m hanging out with Anglicans more, it’s a message that they need to hear too! There are Reformed Evangelical Christians who are so dogmatic about the truth, that they fail to love. Arrogant Orthodoxy is ugly. Humble orthodoxy is “a commitment to believe, live, and represent biblical truth with humility.”

If you are a pastor or pastor-in-training, whether you think you’re arrogant or not, please, for the Glory of Jesus, listen to this word and embrace Humble Orthodoxy.

Don’t steal God’s Glory #3

The 5th slogan made famous by Martin Luther and his posse during the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s helps to summarise the other four.

Don’t steal God’s Glory #3

SOLI DEO GLORIA = Glory to God Alone.

Bible Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone and Christ Alone show us that salvation belongs to God. His Word is our final authority. He gives us a gracious gift we don’t deserve. Our faith is in what God has done. And Jesus has done it all! He cries “It is finished” from the cross. This means that God has done everything necessary to achieve our justification and salvation.
