While I haven't read all of Elisabeth Elliot's books, the ones I have read are very Biblical with godly, Scripture-based teaching for women... She is so conservative that I assumed she was Presbyterian.  |

May the good Lord continue to bless this precious woman who has influenced many for Christ. And may we remember her wisdom as we seek to serve Him. |

Hi mourner,
These forums are really difficult for me to communicate in as I tend to talk in sound bites anyway. Well, the wretched sinner was me about 20 years ago and I've changed my views a bit. However, I think all God's people brought glory to Him when I was on the school board. We fought the good fight.
As far as John Y. - I think the good Lord is opening his eyes to the Gospel truth, just as He has most of us on this forum. I'm not a fan of the Anglican Church and haven't read their confession, so I am not going to encourage someone to believe or read something I have no knowledge of; as far as I know it could be in error. |

Dear Neil,
I'll tell you a little story about a wretched sinner who came to Christ as an adult. She was very timid and shy - infact she sought the lowest seat at church as she knew she was a miserable wretch... But the good Lord seemed to have different plans and as the wretched sinner became a new creation in Christ, He brought her to the forefront of her community through a position on the local gov't school board and the publicity which followed her unashamed Christian witness. Many folks probably looked down on her and wagged their fingers, but she knew the Lord was using her to shame the wise and perhaps teach the comfortable Christian community a lesson. So, in the midst of her fears at being a public witness for Christ, she found consolation in the Sermon on the Mount and trusts that the good Lord will one day say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
PS - John Y. - I think it is wonderful you are reading Reformed Confessions from the 16th Century! Keep up the good work and don't become discouraged. |

Dear mourner, Thanks for the response - I try to hold to historic Christianity and the Reformed Confessions of the 16th Century. Needless to say, I am still learning and do not have all the answers.
Regarding Neil's most recent comment:
"Has God really called Christian families to become like zoo exhibits to the world?" - Yes, He has... The Bible is full of examples. Perhaps it is time to once more read the Sermon on the Mount? Or review early Church history? We should all be boldly shining our "light" in this dark and depraved world. |

Dear Mourner,
I think extremism regarding theonomy is: 1. When one holds to the letter of the OT Law and leaves out the "spirit" or general equity of it.
2. When one holds to the ceremonial laws as well as the moral and judicial.
The far left,IMO, (which I think is right)are those who think there are two kingdoms (one secular, the other spiritual) and the OT Judicial Laws are no longer applicable to society. They might also believe in women elders, pastors, etc. as well as women civil leaders. In summary, they have turned Scripture on its head. I hope you aren't in that camp. |
