Walk in Light

“ I pray that you noticed that we are not only to refrain from being partners with these people but we are also to seek discernment from God in order to discover what is pleasing to Him. We must do what pleases Him while avoiding doing what does not please Him. We take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness while actually exposing them to the light. Never forget that the ministry of discernment is two-fold. This passage lays it out very clearly. We must discern what is right, do that and help others to do the same.”

I committed this year to study the Westminster Larger Catechism, Actually reading it on my own and separately together with my wife., and highlighting a few insights on my own blog. I’ve studied and taught both the Confession and Short Catechism a number of times, but this is my first time in the Larger Catechism. I find the detail it presents and the challenges of what to do and not to do quite useful. I highly recommend reading the Catechism using Johannes G. Vos‘ 75 year old commentary. Of course the commentary itself is not Canonical nor a historical Standard, but it is very useful in stimulating the much neglected discussion of how the Westminster, summarized the Biblical Doctrines. Quite challenging if one is to consider applying all that it says.
