What Should We Think About Paedocommunion?

As someone who formerly held to paedobaptism, I am glad to see this well-reasoned article about paedocommunion. “Because of growing interest in paedocommunion within some quarters of the Reformed church over the last half century, the practice merits a closer look.

These arguments, furthermore, help to explain why the confessional consensus of the Reformed churches has knowingly rejected the practice.”

Do You Believe Your Pasture’s Green?

“Perhaps you, like me, have found comfort in keeping a record of wrongs of your surroundings. Instead of resting, we’re fretting. I’ve been swift to find fault with a circumstance and resort to envy or strife in viewing my personal situation.

As important as it has been to learn who God has made me to be has been learning, admitting, and embracing who he has not made me to be.

In the end, as in the beginning, it is not our good intentions or even our good deeds that will get us out of the muck of ourselves. It is God’s rescuing hand. It is his enduring announcement over us messed-up creatures, “I love you,” that changes everything.

—Jared C. Wilson

    Walking Through Deconstruction

    I suppose by now we all know a least a few people who have begun the process of deconstructing their faith.
