The regulative principle of worship is important, but is not the only principle of worship. Other principles: unto edification, decency and good order, reverence, covenantal and dialogical, and the corporate nature of public worship in distinction from private and secret worship.
some say that only the rulers of nations in a holy covenant with the Lord may promote true religion but that raises a whole lot of tough questions look at these verses 👇
"Unless we press the crown rights of our King in every realm we shall not long retain them in any realm." -Cornelius Van Til
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom." (Matthew 25:1) My latest blog post on Matthew 24-25: "The Olivet Discourse (Part 5): The Parable of the Ten Virgins" forchristskingdom.com/2025/07/the-ol…

Looking forward to tomorrow! I plan to teach a lesson on the 9th commandment (from the WSC), baptize my daughter, preach on Zechariah 3 (the vision of Joshua the high priest), and preach on 1 Samuel 28 (Saul and the witch of Endor).
"Thanks to the crooked Bishop of Constance, who accepted bribes in exchange for waving the rules of clerical celibacy, Heinrich Bullinger Junior was born to Heinrich Bullinger Senior and his virtual wife, Anna Wiederkehr, on this date in 1504." opc.org/today.html?his…
I’m excited to have begun reading this book, having found it at a used bookstore on vacation earlier this year.
