Colliding Kingdoms In 1596 James Melville, a leader of the Scottish Kirk, declared that King James the 6th of Scotland: was God’s silly vassal and that there are two kings and two kingdoms in Scotland. There is Christ Jesus the King, and His kingdom the Kirk, whose subject King James VI is, and of whose [...]

Andrew Matthews Darryl Hart writes: “by this point in the blog, surely you can see ‘how I get around the fact that the cultural mandate was reaffirmed as part of the redemptive promises…’ I don’t know how I could be clearer. You disagree, of course. But really, you don’t see how I separate the cultural [...]

Andrew Matthews O GOD, merciful Father, who despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as are sorrowful; Mercifully assist our prayers which we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils which the craft and subtilty of [...]
Response to Darryl Hart: The Radicality of Christian Obedience

Andrew Matthews Darryl, you write: “Andrew, I’d be glad to answer these reflections if I weren’t already asking for you to answer them.” What?! I have been providing answers to this (admittedly) difficult question. The “hard sayings” of Jesus are called such because they are not easy for anyone who recognizes the validity of natural [...]

My time as Chairman of the RPC Synod’s Committee for the Understanding the Times came to a very final conclusion at this evening’s session of Synod. My attempt to send the committee to its eternal slumber was defeated by a vote of 53-47. This was the last year of my term. For what it is [...]
