~THE GORDIAN KNOT~: CALVIN to KNOX on CEREMONIES: MODERATE YOUR RIGOR!
http://christopherjgordon.blogspot.com/2015/05/calvin-to-knox-on-ceremonies-moderate.html
CALVIN to KNOX on CEREMONIES: MODERATE YOUR RIGOR! What a great reminder from Calvin's letters to John Knox that we should moderate our rigor with regard to worship principles and ceremonies. First Letter of 1555:. Third Letter of 1561:. With regard to ceremonies, I trust, even should you displease many, that you will moderate your rigor. We all need this reminder. Posted by Chris Gordon.

http://christopherjgordon.blogspot.com/2012/06/resurrecting-reformed-catholik-on-sola.html
RESURRECTING A REFORMED CATHOLIK on the SOLA SCRIPTURA ISSUE. Many of us are deeply saddened by Jason Stellman's recent denial of. Of power and judgment on earth for us to have any kind of certainty of truth from the human opinions of men in their private readings of Scripture. One of the greatest Protestant apologists, William Perkins, addressed these issues in the. In Point XVIII on Supremacy, Perkins observes that everything Christ does in his mediatorial work is something that originates from the two...

~THE GORDIAN KNOT~: GRUMPY OLD MEN & THE REFORMED TRADITION
http://christopherjgordon.blogspot.com/2013/08/grumpy-old-men-reformed-tradition.html
GRUMPY OLD MEN and THE REFORMED TRADITION. Grumpy Old Men and The Reformed Tradition. Where are all the young people going? Why do the visitors never seem to stick? Why have there been so many fights in our church history? Unfortunately, these are common questions in the Reformed tradition. In my years as a pastor, I have been shocked over how much antipathy there has been toward Reformed churches. It took me more than a few years to get a handle on why the reaction has been so strong. Nothing exposes th...

~THE GORDIAN KNOT~: Sabbath Meditation: Why You Should Go to Church
http://christopherjgordon.blogspot.com/2012/09/sabbath-meditation-why-you-should-go-to.html
Sabbath Meditation: Why You Should Go to Church. 8220;How lovely is your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts.” The word tabernacle means dwelling place. The tabernacle was the place that God had chosen to come down and meet with his people in the wilderness. The God of heaven and earth had descended to meet with his people that they might call upon his name and worship him in the beauty of his holiness. Notice the fervency of the Psalmist, he is describing his love to come to worship. Why is worship so important?

~THE GORDIAN KNOT~: Going Off-Roading With God--My Visit to A Local Saddleback Modeled CHURCH-NCCTK
http://christopherjgordon.blogspot.com/2010/02/going-off-roading-with-god-my-visit-to.html
Going Off-Roading With God- My Visit to A Local Saddleback Modeled CHURCH-NCCTK. Let me state my motivations up front. First, since there has been an attraction to certain models of ministry contrary to classic Protestantism, I wanted to know, in this particular case, how NCCTK would align with the three marks of a faithful church in historic Protestantism: 1) the pure preaching of the gospel, 2) the right administration of the sacraments, and 3) church discipline. North County Christ the King Church.

WORSHIP, SERMON and MARKETING: Going Off-Roading with God- CRITIQUE #2. As stated before, this review should not be viewed as an attack on NCCTK. In the last review, we looked at how music is often used to manipulate people’s emotions. The wrong assumption is being made that real uplifting worship elevates us to God. The sermon series that night was. Going Off Roading With God: Satisfaction Guaranteed. Suzuki Samurai 4X4, bright lights, cool camping equipment, an espresso bar, et al? John Calvin once lam...

~THE GORDIAN KNOT~: WHAT CAN THE CHURCH LEARN FROM THE FOOD NETWORK?
http://christopherjgordon.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-can-church-learn-from-food-network.html
WHAT CAN THE CHURCH LEARN FROM THE FOOD NETWORK? The other day I stumbled upon an article by Farsch Askari lamenting what has happened to the Food Network. The article is well-worth reading. Askari says, “Guy’s trying killing us.”. As I read the article I thought the most tragic consequence of the whole thing is when Askari laments the mass exodus of genuinely talented chefs. Quality crafted dishes and culinary art no longer seemed to matter anymore, it became about ratings and personalities, a pheno...
