Trinitarian Prayer

April 30, 2011

The April 26th devotion from Octavius Winslow’s Morning Thoughts really encouraged me in prayer.  I thought I’d post it here to make it more accessible.  You can read his devotional thoughts daily on the official Winslow website or you can also purchase the book or get the Kindle version for only $0.99.  Highly recommended. ———————– [...]

Together for Glory 1: Father in Relation to the Son

June 3, 2008

For the past couple of months, I have been slowly working through and meditating on a Trinitarian study that was spawned off three things: first, a post I wrote regarding intentional evangelism; second, reflections on the covenant of redemption as understood by the Puritans; and third, the upcoming John 3:16 conference which will attempt to [...]

May 28, 2008

I know it’s not Monday (when I usually post my BCT of the week), but things have been a little off as of late.

Carson on Intra-Trinitarian Love, Part II

November 29, 2007

I think this might be my last excerpt on the topic for now. The purpose of these excerpts is to shed some light on the issue raised by Dr. Ben Witherington on whether God is narcissistic and whether a God who is passionate about His glory can be reconciled with John 3:16 (to catch up [...]

Carson on Intra-Trinitarian Love, Part I

November 28, 2007

Transitioning from the excellent scholarship of John Frame, I want to post two excerpts from another leading scholar, D.A. Carson, from his book The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God. If you have not read this short but significantly important book, I highly recommend it. Here’s part one (emphasis mine): _______________________________________________________ Certainly there is [...]

Frame on Intra-Trinitarian Glory

November 27, 2007

On the heels of yesterday’s post, here is an excerpt from John Frame on intra-Trinitarian glory to compliment the data on intra-Trinitarian love (emphasis mine). _______________________________________________________ There is a [also] a circle of glorification within the Trinity itself. The Father glorifies the Son (John 8:50, 54; 13:32; 14:13; 17:1, 5), and the Son glorifies the [...]
