Random Thoughts #1

At this time of year many people consider the question "Who is Jesus Christ?" Some people would reply: "He is a good teacher, but I cannot accept his claim to be God!" C. S. Lewis replies to that statement this way: "That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the things Jesus said would not be a good moral teacher. He would be a lunatic -- on the level of a man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

What is a Reformed Cactus?

Well, we've just come on line, so the short version is a desert dwelling blogspot from a PCA pastor. Stately, like a saguaro cactus, with the spines in all the right places. Obviously, this is a site under construction in the days ahead.
