Thoughts of the Day- Or An Announcement of How I Will Be Blogging

Thoughts of the Day:

With schoolwork and so many other commitments, the amount of detailed blog entries I will have time to do, or at least the amount of detailed, researched, agonized over, Scripture saturated, prayer filled blogs that I should be devoting my time to will be few and far between for the foreseeable future. For instance, I have an Ethics paper due at midnight, and I have yet to begin reading the chapter on it! 17 credit hours online keeps you busy, especially when what you really want to be studying is the Bible and theology.

I feel like I have worn myself out a bit posting so much stuff, reading so much stuff, watching so much stuff. At the same time, I still want to be able to write something on a regular basis for my blog. This could work 
out- my blogs will be shorter, so more people might actually read them :D

Daily, or at least every other day, I am going to write a brief entry entitled “Thoughts of the Day.” I will try not to go over three or four 5-sentence paragraphs, I promise. These entries could be about anything, but they will literally be about what I have been thinking about during the day about God and Christianity and doctrine and so on.

And so, this counts as the first entry in the “Thoughts of the Day” series, since this is what I have been thinking about doing for today, and because the length of this entry is about how long I expect most of my entries to be from now on.

But... this isn’t really a biblical entry, it’s just telling you about what I am going to do, so today I will do a bonus “Thoughts Of The Day Entry” in a little bit since there is something that has been on my mind all day that I would like to share.

Ah look, I kept it fairly brief for once.

Why Pastors Shouldn't Preach In Jeans (Especially Skinny Jeans)

By: Thomas F. Booher I can't think of a better way to get labeled a legalist than to title a post like this. Hopefully by the end you will not see this as legalism and will see this as what it is- my attempt at describing what I believe is proper ecclesiology as defined by God in Scripture. So then, what is church? What does Scripture say we should be doing and not doing on Sunday mornings? That's what I want to explore. The Bible says to gather together in Christ's name; to teach, encourage, and admonish one another; to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Heb. 10:24-25; Mat. 18:20; Col. 3:16). There are to be deacons (Acts 6:1-6) and elders (Ti. 1:5) in the church who act as overseers, and in the case of elders, are the shepherds of the flock who teach the word and rebuke with authority (Ti. 1:9).  God must call one to be a pastor/elder (Eph. 4:11). As such those who are called by God to preach the word are held to a ...

William Gouge's Domestical Duties: Quotes and Comments

 I hope to begin a post here that I periodically update, of quotations from William Gouge's Of Domestical Duties. I am going to quote from this version primarily: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/gouge/Domestical%20Duties%20-%20William%20Gouge.pdf  The book has been said to have been as popular as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Matthew Henry's commentaries in its heyday. Gouge was one of the chief members of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, which gave us the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. In short, the substance of what Gouge wrote was held by most all the Westminster Divines/Puritans on home and family life, regarding marriage, children, duties of husband to wife, wife to husband, children to parents, parents to children, and also servants and masters to one another.  Here is an extended quotation of Gouge that I will start with, and add to later. Enjoy.  "The third reason taken from an husband's resemblance unto Christ herein, ...

Some Problems in the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America)

By: Thomas F. Booher NOTE: I posted what's below to Facebook on this day, December 6, 2016. I wanted to post this here for record keeping and so that it can have a more visible and permanent viewership for those concerned or wishing to be more informed about the PCA.  I would like to explain my love for and grave concerns within the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America), the denomination in which I am currently a member and have served as a ruling elder. The state of the PCA is, in my estimation, not a consistently conservative, orthodox, and confessional one. I believe it is in the midst of much compromise, and I do not think that the average lay person is aware of it. It grieves me to say these things. I wish they were not true. I grew up in the PCA, and until several years ago I was still under the delusion that all was well in this denomination, that it was, by and large, holding fast to the Word of God. I still believe that there are many...
