This is where Rev. Eric J Brown posts his theological (and theo-political, that is on the politics of theology) posts. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Lent 1 – February 22. 2015 – Matthew 4. In the Name of Christ the Crucified. Sunday in Lent singing “Sing My Tongue the Glorious Battle.” In Lent we see that war is declared, and battle come down, that as the head of the Serpent was prophesized to be crushed, so it is.

New Year’s Eve, 2015 – Isaiah 40 and Romans 8. In the Name of Christ Jesus, our Newborn King.

Or He might not. Like a thief in the night.

Confessional Gadfly: Never Surprised by Sin

http://confessionalgadfly.blogspot.com/2015/05/never-surprised-by-sin.html

This is where Rev. Eric J Brown posts his theological (and theo-political, that is on the politics of theology) posts. Friday, May 22, 2015. Never Surprised by Sin. As a Christian, we should never be surprised by sin. Whatever tales, whoever falls - it should never surprise us. Sadden us - sure. Warn us - most definitely. Make us ready to forgive and care for the hurting - it should go without saying (but sadly, because of our own sinful hearts we need reminding). Rev Eric J Brown. May 29, 2015 at 6:36 PM.

The Adult Bible Class is just finishing up 1 Samuel. 1 Samuel is one of those books of the bible that folks know quite a few of the stories from - they are Sunday School stories. You have David and Goliath. You have David being anointed King. You might even get little Samuel saying, "Here am I, Lord! 1 Samuel 25 is fantasti...

Says that Babylon will win, and they do. But in our text he als...

http://confessionalgadfly.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-school-of-hard-and-soft-knocks.html

This is where Rev. Eric J Brown posts his theological (and theo-political, that is on the politics of theology) posts. Thursday, April 16, 2015. The School of Hard and Soft Knocks. So, now I'm basically done with being a Circuit Visitor. My last Sunday in Oklahoma was this past one, and now it is on to Illinois, where I will be the new guy. Of course, this is what almost all practical teaching is. The theoretical teaching can tell you what is good and laudable -. It's Augustine and Patrick's Confessions.
