Saturday of Trinity 22 – 3 John

Last updated on: November 6, 2015 at 12:26 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

3 John In 3 John, the apostle of love repeats his theme of love in truth and love of truth. For John, love = truth and truth = love. In 3 John, this equation is manifest as in 2 John, only this time instead of being spoken of as true of a church, John portrays the love that is true in an individual, Gaius. Just as St. John loved the Elect Lady in truth in 2 John, so he also... Read more

Friday of Trinity 22 – 2 John

Last updated on: November 5, 2015 at 12:39 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

2 John 2 John is a love letter to a very mysterious lady from the apostle of love, St. John. This lady is, first of all, elect. She has been chosen by God to belong to Him and to walk in His ways all the days of her life. This lady evidently has children, and this lady’s children have been walking in the truth. She is loved by John, who also loves her children. John tells us that she has... Read more

Are Good Works Necessary?

Last updated on: April 19, 2018 at 3:37 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Are Good Works Necessary? – Titus 3 Well, Paul’s done it to us again. He’s returned to one of his favorite themes, but one that is sometimes contentious for us: good works. The twin themes of the importance of teaching the apostolic truth and living by good works are here in Titus 3 once more. Still reeling from the battles over justification and good works that occurred in the sixteenth centuries, many Protestants are very suspicious when good works enter... Read more

In Praise of Older Women

Last updated on: April 18, 2018 at 3:35 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

In Praise of Older Women – Titus 2 See? I told you God’s high standards applied to you and not just to bishops and deacons! Titus 2 also reminds us that even though the ordained clergy have a very special commission to guard the Word and teach the truth, that doesn’t let other Christians off the hook. All members of Christ’s body are ministers. From where are godly church leaders going to emerge? From a godly church, filled with godly... Read more

Wednesday of the 21st Sunday after Trinity – 2 Timothy 2:14-26

Last updated on: October 27, 2015 at 3:36 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

2 Timothy 2:14-26 For years, I spent my life as a Christian focusing on some of the most obvious sins in my own life. It’s true, that the sin in our lives should be a daily focus, for without acknowledging our sins there can be no confession of sins or repentance, and without these, no man shall see God. But it dawned on me years later that instead of focusing on my sins and how I kept repeating them, I... Read more
