Resolution No. 8

24 Thursday Jan 2013

Posted by Barbara in Jonathon Edwards, The Fathers, Theology

≈ Leave a comment

Resolved, to act, in all respects, both speaking and doing, as if nobody had been so vile as I, and as if I had committed the same sins, or had the same infirmities or failings as others; and that I will let the knowledge of their failings promote nothing but shame in myself, and prove only an occasion of my confessing my own sins and misery to God.

Thinking About Hobbits

You do not understand a passage well enough to preach it unless you can make it a metaphor. If you can’t put the idea of a passage into a metaphor, you don’t really understand it. And you are certainly not ready to preach it” (Edwards, Deep Preaching, p. 126).

Frodo: “I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”

Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Not this day!

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down!

But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you “stand…” Aragorn
