::Earth-Shattering Distinctives::

We feel that our cause is just and holy; we protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we desire peace at any sacrifice save that of honor and independence; we seek no conquest, no aggrandisement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were lately confederated; all we ask is to be left alone... ~ President Jefferson Davis

Grammar God!
You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


If your mission in life is not already to
preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!


How grammatically sound are you?

Wow. Well, God gets the glory. I am but a wretched, tongue tied, illiterate fool but for His grace alone.

Hidden Glory

I have to confess that I've gotten lazy with my ecclesiastical headgear over the past year. So, yesterday morning I wore a hat to church. And a sweet older lady came up to me during the break and said, "I thought about wearing a hat today, but I thought, 'No one else probably will, so I didn't. Then I saw your hat and regretted that I hadn't worn one.'" I then confessed to her that I had gotten lazy with the 1 Cor 11 headcovering mandate. I felt the same way she did. No one else was wearing one, so why bother? It's taken me a lot of prayer and rereading of scripture to realize how wicked that attitude is. If I can't be the only woman to wear a hat for two hours in my church, how am I going to manage being the only one to stand out in any other way?

As Christians we have to stand alone often, and it is painful. It's especially painful when other brothers and sisters judge you as "holier than thou" or hoity toity. (haute toit?) No godly submission should make us ashamed when we see the submission of our Lord Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, the church today uses a hermeneutic for most of scripture
that is based more on nineteenth century Jacobin egalitarianism than on covenantal principles. We don't understand the hat or the scarf because we don't understand our position as women under the man. We don't understand our position under the man, because we don't understand Christ's ontological and economic relationship to the Father.

We think too much of ourselves because of our sin nature, and we have others screaming at us constantly to think too much of ourselves. Man's glory is to be covered, and God's glory revealed, and it's just too much of a yoke for us. I can't even imagine how enraged God is at that attitude when he gave us His Son whose submission was beyond any human being has ever experienced. No submission matches that of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Because Christ cloaked himself in human flesh, we can hide our glory and mortify our flesh. We are now free to hate our sin and rebellion. While others demand equality, we are free to embrace the precious gem of a yoke of liberty that is found in serving the ruling and reigning Christ who with the Father and Holy Spirit is the sole definer of equality. We are free to serve the Lord and sinful men, because Christ goes before us. Whether we are gardening, changing diapers, preparing a casserole or doing dishes for the 9 millionth time, Christ is glorified, and we share in it through our hiddenness in Him. Let us as women hide in the quietness of a gentle spirt... let us hide in the beauty of our myriad home centered talents and government... let us hide in the leadership of our husbands, thanking the Lord that He has left the final decision making to them. Let us hide in the shadow of the the Lord's wings... for in Him there is no shadow of turning.
