Christian History (181)
  1. Despite the mathematical incongruity, the church confesses that Christ is one hundred percent human and one hundred percent divine.
  2. Jesus refreshes you with the promises of the gospel, wrapped in the words of Scripture, drawn in the pictures of the sacraments.
  3. Polycarp’s faith, life, writings, and even his death revealed the fruit of faith and love grafted into his heart by Christ the Vine.
  4. Jesus is very difficult to bring down. That’s the power of it.
  5. "When God has his say, have confidence that his Word and sacraments bestow precisely what he says."
  6. We now are the magi: we worship Christ because of who he is, but also because of what he has done for us and what he continues to do in his gift-giving to us.
  7. Epiphany continues the work done at Christmas, bringing light and life to a dying world desperate for hope.
  8. Christ is the beating heart of Christian faith and its only object.
  9. If we picture the New Testament as a divinely painted masterpiece that hangs in the middle of a museum, then all around it are other works of the period, in different corridors of the museum, in many styles, painted by diverse artists, with variations of color and technique.
  10. When the historical importance of revivalism is understood, one can appreciate that the question, “Could America experience another revival?” is also a question about the fate of Christianity in America.
  11. The Christian must always remember that personal piety and liturgical uniformity are by no means the marks of true religion.
  12. Surely a division now called the "Great Schism" should command our attention, but it is vital that we do not impute similar significance to all modern disagreements in the church.
