The Prophetic Presbyterian & His Narrow Way

  The LORD  Is My Strength and My Shield 28  Of David. To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts. Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward. Because they do not regard the works of the Lord or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more. Blessed be the Lord! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. The Lord is the strength of his ...

  The LORD  Is My Light and My Salvation 27  Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answe...

 

William Wolfe, Op Ed contributor @ the Christian Post & M.Div student & SBTS writes On Saturday, we witnessed something more than mere chance or human agency. We saw the very hand of God stay a bullet and preserve not just a life but a nation. Scripture teaches us in Proverbs 21:1 that “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.” It’s true that God’s providence is meticulous, & it’s also true that seeks His own glory first & foremost, & it’s also true that God prioritizes our well-being over our happiness.  After all, we are limited, finite, & shortsighted compared to the LORD & as both our Creator & Deliverer, God sees the big picture meticulously & comprehensively, while we do not.  Thus we are prone to seek our happiness over our well-being.   However, did God do what He did to save our nation in the manner in which Mr. Wolfe speaks, or did God do it to expose the revolutionaries amon...

According to the Philosophy of Numbers, there are two competing theories relative to the question “What are numbers, beyond their arithmetically assigned values?”     Are they abstract mental projections or abstract mental objects?   Nominalism - Numbers exist as abstract mental projections.    Nominalism says a mind or minds is/are required in order for numbers to exist.   Platonism    - Numbers exist independently of our minds.    They exist outside of space time itself.    They are abstract mental objects.     Platonism agrees with Nominalism on the necessity of a mind or minds in order to underwrite the existence of numbers.   Query: If numbers exist as artifacts of our own minds, then in what mind or minds do they inhere?     Do they inhere in some minds but not others?    All minds?  Query: Numbers constitute an infinite set of abstract mental objects or projecti...
