All Saints Day

Last updated on: November 1, 2015 at 10:33 pm By ericphillips

At the Just and Sinner conference, after my Glorification presentation (to be posted soon), I was asked about the practical payoff of the doctrine for preaching and the Christian life. Here’s a sermonic answer, because that’s what All Saints Day is all about. It is also a sermon on the first four Beatitudes, and a sermon that features the word “hard-ass.” If you decide to watch it, you don’t have to tell me which reason enticed you. Read more

Where did Halloween – “All Saint’s Eve” – Come From?

Last updated on: October 27, 2015 at 5:01 am By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne What does Halloween mean? It is “Hallowe’en”, which mean’s “All Hallows’ Eve”, or “All Saint’s Eve”. Analogous to Christmas Eve, it is the beginning of All Saints’ Day and starts at sundown on October 31st. The old English “hallowed” means holy, sanctified, “set apart” (as for service). Martin Luther’s 95 theses were meant for all Christians, or all “holy ones” – “saints”. He posted them in 1517 on “All Hallow’s Eve”, or “All Saint’s Eve”, at... Read more

Last updated on: October 17, 2015 at 5:16 am By nathanrinne

Kretzmann on the Mystical Union

Last updated on: October 8, 2015 at 4:51 pm By Jordan Cooper

These comments come from Paul E. Kretzmann’s commentary on Ephesians 3:14-19. The commentaries can be found on KretzmannProject.org. “This idea is developed still further: That Christ may dwell through faith in your hearts. Not only the gifts and virtues of Christ, but the exalted Christ personally lives in the hearts of His believers, Gal. 2, 20. There is the most intimate, the most happy communion between Christ and the Christians, begun in conversion, but in need of daily growth and... Read more
