Wednesday

I am looking forward to our Wednesday night prayer meeting tonight.

I have continued to read about John Knox this week. I still need to find a couple of good biographies on him.

Have you ever thought you were born in the wrong century? I am really drawn to the 17th century. A large portion of the reformation's ideals were more fully developed and applied.

A word to recover: THEOSOPHY, n. Divine wisom, godliness; 2. Knowledge of God.
Interestingly, we now favor the term "philosophy" which is made up of two Greek words philo and sophia. Philo is 1 of 3 Gr. words attached to the idea of "love" and sophia is of course, "wisdom." Philosophy in its essence is the love of wisdom. Theosophy is love for God through the gracious gift of divine wisdom in the person of Christ. We love the God of truth and wisdom. The Greeks seek after "knowledge" and love it in all its God-hating forms. We love the true wisdom of God in the Word, Jesus Christ.

Christians need to recover our distinctive language, not borrow from the world. "Do you not know that the love of the world is enmity with God?"
