from the Metrical Scottish psalter, 1650, Psalm 4:8:

I will both lay me down in peace,
and quiet sleep will take;
Because thou only me to dwell
in safety, Lord, dost make.

This is what I sang to my husband as he was dying of gallbladder cancer last April. It is true.

I could never understand women who profess that they love Christ Jesus smearing their faces with paint. It is deceptive. It makes a sensible connection with abortion.

Jezebel's heirs...

God created mankind in his image. He did not mess around with us and make us from some other animal. Still we sought out many inventions, and marred that image, and it appears that mankind still does seek out many inventions.

But those upon whom God bestows saving grace are being renewed to his image. According to the word of God, that image is knowledge, righteousness and true holiness with dominion over the creatures, including their own tongues. Those who believe otherwise are on their way to a very hot place.

That is right Neil. We must not copy what we saw on television, ad nauseum. I fully agree with your warning.

It is indeed God's word which defines masculinity. That said, A Christian, either man or woman, while not being childish, must be child-like in dependence upon Christ Jesus and humble in his demeanor.

We are not to rely upon the world, its mass media or its politics but upon God and his Word. He is our Prophet, our Priest, and our King.

To my own 2 cents:

That is good that you like to discuss different subjects. We often learn if we are teachable. It is the Spirit of God which makes us so.

You quote 1 Corinthians 11:15 that a woman's long hair is her head covering. Historically the Christian church did not understand the verse this way.

From Chrysostom:

"And if it be given her for a covering," say you, "wherefore need she add another covering?" That not nature only, but also her own will may have part in her acknowledgment of subjection. For that you ought to be covered nature herself by anticipation enacted a law..."

From John Calvin a sadly true prophecy:

"So if women are thus permitted to have their heads uncovered and to show their hair, they will eventually be allowed to expose their entire breasts, and they will come to make their exhibitions as if it were a tavern show; they will become so brazen that modesty and shame will be no more; in short they will forget the duty of nature...Further, we know that the world takes everything to its own advantage. So, if one has liberty in lesser things, why not do the same with this the same way as with that? And in making such comparisons they will make such a mess that there will be utter chaos..."

We are to follow in the footsteps of the

Men are really under attack in our society and men and women are both the losers.

And men preach that women need not pay attention to covering their heads in public showing their submission to their husbands and common decency. Women have burned their hats.

How can anyone in good conscience read 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 and tell me that head covering for women was only cultural?

Christians have compromised the word of God making it mean what they imagine, not the truth.

Both men and women would benefit by their return and obedience to the truth and not explain it away.

The above article gives a very good reason for keeping children from the media.

Period.

Raising them as the Lord has commanded. Enough compromise and shoddy parenting or the church will be the world and the children lost. Turn it ALL off!

Turn away with weeping. Rend your heart and not your garment and turn even to the Lord with all your heart with weeping. Do as the Lord commands and teach your children the truth and keep them from the lies of Satan if you love God.

Deuteronomy 5:32; Deuteronomy 6:6-7 Prayer alone is not enough...

Brethren,

God has given us a hymnbook in the middle of his book. The question must be asked of the church, Why are we using another?

Look in most modern church hymnals and you will not find the psalms in metric there. The question again, is why? The Psalms were meant not only to meditated upon, discussed, read, listened to, and sermonized, but to be sung by those who love Christ.

Dear Unprofitable Servant:

The power and truth of God's word can be experienced. Yes, there are many truths set forth in man-inspired hymns.

Yet, the truth in Matthew 6:33 and Romans 14:17 and Philippians 1:6 (beautiful words indeed!) are found in the Psalms.

I guess it is a matter of experience. If we have never yet sung the Psalms then how can we know that the concepts and truths realized in the New Testament are prophesied and set down in the Old? How can we know that Christ Jesus fills every page?

Here is a challenge to those beloved brethren of mine: try singing the Psalms, not just Psalm 100, but many more of them, all of them, and see what happens to you. See if you do not see Christ and his truth in them.

"Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." (Luke 24:25-27).

"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me." (Lu

Dear Dr. Tim,

Acts 17:11 tells us that the Bereans searched the Scriptures to see if what Paul and Silas preached were true words.

Yes, Ezra was moved by God to teach the people the word of God. I would never argue that point. God gives us ministers and we are to be as the Bereans. If our ministers agree with the word of God, and you find yourself growing in holiness and hating sin more and more, and loving God more and more, then you may adduce that things are right.

We also must be careful in our hearing and reading. It is from the study of Scripture that we learn truth, and the Holy Ghost must open our souls to it. This is the most important book. I am sure that you will agree that the Holy Bible is the most important book of all time, ever.

So if the Holy Bible is the most important book ever, why would we want to settle for less, even in our singing? Why would Jesus want to sing a hymn that was not inspired by God?

So what is your opinion about what the Lord sang on the night of his capture? Historically, Jews sang the Hallel on Passover which consists of Psalms 113-118.

The history of the church, and that includes the Old Testament church, is not to be ignored. Our Lord came to fulfill that history

It is not wrong to be a scholar of the Bi

The singing of Christmas carols and the singing of man-made hymns was a gradual declension in the church. It was the singing of Psalms that was from the beginning. Jesus did not sing a man-inspired hymn on the night of his captivity but a Psalm.

Every word sung that is about the word of God but not from the word of God is liable to error.

I used to sing all those hymns, too, and I loved them. But you know what? they are weak and paltry beside the Psalms. They sidestep many issues that are point-blank in the word of God. I no longer love these sentimental ditties but feel and acquire strength from the word of God, preached, read, studied, meditated upon, and sung.

The old paths are the best. Tradition may be very old but not eternal.

"Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the Way, and see and ask for the old Path, where is the good Way, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein." Jer.6.16.

To Quiet Christian...it is agreed that Christ must first love us. That is a part of the gospel. Still we contend for the truth.

Thank you, Unprofitable Servant, for your kindness.

Dr. Tim,

It is the curse from our original sin where all these transgressions and cruelties and violence come from. We can never help or love our neighbor, even our unbelieving ones, if we ourselves are not agreed upon what the word of God teaches us. Satan laughs at how he has confused the church and Antichrist rubs his hands together in wicked delight.

A "social gospel" will not in the end help anyone, but the true gospel will. George Whitefield did not contend that the slaves in the USA be freed from their carnal slavery but from their spiritual slavery. He taught them the gospel and saved thousands of souls. They are happy in eternity, our long home, for ever with our God.

In this world, we have sorrow, especially those who are of the household of God. It must be expected and we are to help those from sorrows and harm as much as we are enabled to help them. Our eye, our priority, must be single and have it focused upon the Lord Jesus Christ and his truth.

Jude writes: "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints."

Dr. Tim,

I often smile at your posts because they are witty...

however, levity is not a thing commended by the word of God (See Ephesians 5:4)...He rather would have us go to funerals than parties because it would be better for us to see the reality of the shortness of our days here (See Ecclesiastes 7:1-6)... It would make us more careful of our words.

And as for "bickering" that is a thing we are definitely NOT to do...but we ARE to contend for the truth. So this is not bickering but a hope and a prayer that a brother might see beyond his own imaginations into what is really true...

that Xmass is not a thing warranted by the word of God.

P.S. To Unprofitable Servant. I must ask your forgiveness for a past post in that I corrected your spelling. I fear I was prideful.

Let us be careful of our spelling...

the Word became flesh, not the world...

saying that the world became flesh is like saying flesh became flesh...

must be careful of our words, so our Lord has commanded us...

Xmass is very much about not obeying the fourth commandment. Why would we make a "holy day" not prescribed in the word of God and then make the Lord's day (most call it Sunday) into a day for recreation?

We have 52 feast days, 52 holy days each year, but many will not partake and if they do they may do it halfheartedly...we have one very compromised and foolish day of December 25th when all hell breaks loose and a vast majority of our society partakes of that.

The incarnation of Christ Jesus was a most blessed miracle for us. A mercy extremely undeserved. 52 days in the year we celebrate his birth and his death and his resurrection, and we do this – not when the pope says...

but when Christ says.

To my brother Unprofitable Servant:

I disagree with your assessment of covenanting and also of baptism. This is no new thing between Presbyterians and Baptists, though I pray that we might be unified in the one true doctrine, which I believe is set forth, according to the word of God, in the Westminster Confession of Faith, which was written after the other European Confessions of Faith had been written and deeply studied by the Westminster divines.

All Christians are in covenant with God and his Christ. To be in covenant with him means that you agree with God and what he has revealed in his word. You agree with his commandments, even the fourth.

To be in covenant with God and his Christ is to have him as your Lord. This is done so personally most often, but churches used to be unified in covenanting with God also. Covenanting with God is shown throughout his word. It is not unscriptural.

I never did say, nor did I infer that my worship was only done on the Lord's day. Six days of the week, my Lord commands me to labor. But every day of labor is greeted with prayer and thanksgiving, and closed that way as well. Those who hunger and thirst for Christ do not leave him for only one day a week. But the Lord's day is a feast day with him. May we all partake

Unprofitable Servant might be more blessed if he read and studied the Confessions of faith that were written by men who had sincerely studied the Scriptures for years and years and could preach in Latin or Greek or even Hebrew.

The wisdom that comes from above must first of all be pure then peaceable, gentle and easily entreated...

Prayer for understanding is needed, not for being the one who is "right" but for unity in faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, that he might guide our words, remembering our weakness.

The problem is that Christians have been letting go of the Lord's day sabbath, and doing other things that day besides resting in and worshiping the one true living God, privately, in the family, and in public worship. If you loved Christ you would want to spend all your time that day with him.

"Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame."

You will find a lot of people will go to church on Xmass and Easter but hardly ever any Lord's day. That is indicative of motive and the nature of Xmass and Easter.

I personally find no warrant for the celebration of Xmass in the Holy Scripture, the word of God. The word of God is the only rule for me. I am happy to obey my King and not leave him in a manger. This makes many unhappy that I will not "play." (See Exodus 32:6).

The only birthdays celebrated in the word of God are Pharaoh's and Herod's.

We must look at the fruit also, as our Lord tells us. Certainly the police force and emergency services see vast numbers of suicides and heart issues caused by this season. Drunkenness abounds. Gluttony is encouraged. Covetousness knows no bounds at Xmass.

This is so very different from the commanded rest that we have in the Lord every seventh day. Christ is the Lord of the sabbath, and that is a Christian's only holy day wherein we celebrate Christ and praise our Father and are filled with joy in the Holy Ghost.

Is that not enough? Must we ourselves add a little bit, a little dab, more of what we think might be good. What do we know? It is God who teaches us, not the other way around.
