Summary

In traversing the account of Christ's humility, from the Incarnation to the Resurrection and its practical conclusions for believers, we've ventured deep into the focus of the Christian gospel. This adventure clarifies a counterintuitive truth: in the kingdom of God, greatness is found in humility, power in fragility, and life in death. The humility of Christ, culminating in the cross and validated by the resurrection, affords not only the pattern for our redemption but also the blueprint for Christian living. It signals us to a life that depicts the paradoxes of the gospel, where the last are first, and the meek inherit the earth. Furthermore, the call to personify Christ's humility is both a challenge and an invitation. It confronts us to confront and forsake the world's definitions of success and power, inviting us instead to embrace a life outlined by servanthood, vulnerability, and dependence on God. This way of living is not a path to obscurity but to true greatness, as defined by the One who humbled Himself to the point of death and was exalted to the highest place. Lastly, as we ruminate on Christ's humility, we are advised that our campaign as believers is not featured by striving for personal glory but by walking in the footsteps of the One who washed the feet of His disciples. In doing so, we find our lives revolutionized by the weight of the gospel, becoming agents of grace and reconciliation in a broken world. The humility of Christ, therefore, is not just a doctrine to be admired but a reality to be lived, shaping us into His likeness and preparing us for the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Axe to the Root with Bojidar Marinov | Reconstructionist Radio Reformed Network Reconstructionist Radio | Reformed Christian Podcast In theory, all of us know our orthodoxy. We know about the Trinity, about our redemption. We can speak about our solas, and we know our TULIP. But then, when most of us go out in the world and meet reality, we still view it and assess it through pagan eyes. That’s because our modern theology has become abstract, limited to the world of our personal faith, and divorced from God’s reality. Bojidar Marinov’s Axe to the Root Podcast will help you turn your abstract theology into a relevant, applied theology, by thinking covenantally about every area of life, and about every practical issue in today’s world. This is a production of Recon Radio. My Path to Atheism by Annie Besant (1847 - 1933) LibriVox My Path to Atheism is a remarkable document in many ways, not least that it was written by a woman in Victorian England, not the most open free-thinking of societies, especially for women at that time. It needed a remarkable woman to write such a revolutionary and to 19th century minds, heretical document in a society where the Church had such a stronghold. Besant herself was originally married to a clergyman, but her increasingly anti-religious views and writings led to a legal separation. She went on to become a member of the National Secular Society and thence to co-edit the National Reformer, which put forth ideas on revolutionary ideas at the time such as trades unions, national education, birth control and so on. In 1877 Besant published this book 'My Path to Atheism' which was compiled from a series of lectures in which she surgically dissects the basic tenets of Christianity. As one reads the chapters, one can follow the evolution of her ideas from Theism to Atheism, ending up Reformed Forum Reformed Forum Reformed Forum supports the church in presenting every person mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28) by providing Reformed theological resources to pastors, scholars, and anyone who desires to grow in their understanding of Scripture and the theology that faithfully summarizes its teachings.
