Psalm 117 in the Scottish Psalter
Greetings brothers and sisters.
My favorite Psalter since I first starting singing the Psalms in private has been the 1650 Scottish Psalter. Primarily for its noteworthy accuracy. I think psalmody of any kind (especially EP) is worthless if our Psalters do not have a high emphasis on accuracy. Singability is important, but not as important as singing the Word of God. That being said I know... -
Help me understand PaedoBaptism (As a Credobaptist)
Forgive me if this has either been discussed (I'm sure it has but couldn't find a concise thread here) or this is the wrong place. Hear my plea:
I am reformed baptist (inb4 we all joke that baptists can't be fully reformed). However, my wife and I have both come to a place where we feel like more traditional reformed churches are where the Lord will have us. We've found that most of the... -
Genesis 6:2 - "The sons of God"
A friend has shared with me his view that "the sons of God" spoken of in Genesis 6:2 are fallen angels.
I have heard this view before, especially among dispensationalists. For a number of reasons I do not accept it.
One resource which my friend sent me was a three-hour lecture by Chuck Missler in which Missler states that, in the Old Testament, "the sons of God" (בְנֵי-הָאֱלֹהִים)... -
What to do if your kids are getting chubby?
My kids have gotten a little chonky. What do I do?
p.s. I am also thick like a brick. But I've been powerlifting, so it is all power-gut you see and power-fat to fuel my strength gains.
Any parental advice? I make them exercise. And we cook nutritious food. Trying to find them outdoor activities. -
It's been over 10 yrs, re-introduction
My last comments in here were from 2009, and I was a freshly minted Calvinist of 4 months.
After 11 years I'm still here I love to debate and discuss soteriology with those who seem a bit hostile to us. Over the past 11 yrs or so I've traveled more of the world for old jobs, started businesses, and many other experiences (and a few roller coasters ). I look forward to giving back a...

The Uniform of the Office
For this thread I'd like to primarily hear from Pastors.
I know this has been discussed before, but that was a few years ago, and I have some questions about gowns and clerical collars I haven't found the answer to. For those that wear either I assume you agree on at least this: The office should have a uniform, there shouldn't be vestments (in the Eastern or Catholic sense),... -
Was telling lies David's besetting sin?
In Thomas Brooks' book The Golden Key, he argues that lying was King David's besetting sin (Works, 5: 20-21). What do you make of this claim? -

Twenty-nine Years
This article originally appeared on my blog (Here). “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord…their works follow them” (Revelation 14:13) David Brainerd (1718-1747) was an 18th century American missionary to the native American Indians of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Robert Murray...

A Refutation To The Charge That The Calvinistic View Of Predestination Is Pagan.
The idea brought forth by those who claim that we who hold to God's sovereignty in all things are similar to the Greek pagans is without warranted. As Ronald Nash states in his book The Gospel and the Greeks, these so called gods were limited by their own weakness both physical and moral. Not to...
