Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2026-073: Pictures of Providence

As I look at the chaos approaching I wonder how this will play out for the people of God.  I have different pictures.  One of my favorites is “Pocket of Providence”.  I also coin “Bubble of Benevolence”.  The concept is that there always seems to be a remnant that survives when God allows His people to face persecution.

There are better terms and phrases found in the Bible itself.

Under His wings

In His hand

A shield about me

A Fortress 

Thy rod and they staff, they comfort me

Fire by night and the cloud by day

Angels to stand guard

The more I look the more examples I find.
