Scatter throughout the land

We have never sought to hinder the uprising of other Churches from our midst or in our neighbourhood. It is with cheerfulness that we dismiss our twelves, our twenties, our fifties, to form other Churches. We encourage our members to leave us to found other Churches; nay, we seek to persuade them to do it. We ask them to scatter throughout the land, to become the goodly seed which God shall bless. I believe that so long as we do this, we shall prosper. I have marked other Churches that have adopted the other way, and they have not succeeded.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Waterer Watered

From the Heavenly Choir

The following words were arranged for A. N. Whitten for his song, From the Heavenly Choir, No. 127 in the Harp of Ages.

1. When shall I reach those mansions fair,
My Savior has prepared,
I long to reach my heavenly home
Where all is peace and love.

2. There shall I bathe my weary soul, 
In peaceful heavenly rest,
Where Jesus Christ my Savior dwells
Where all is peace and love.

3. Come, Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide,
And bear my soul away,
To that celestial home above
Where all is peace and love.

Chorus:
Where all is peace and love,
We’ll sing God’s praise in endless day,
Where all is peace and love.

A. N. Whitten and the Harp of Ages

I have completed and published “The Noted Singer and Music Instructor”: A. N. Whitten and the Harp of Ages. It is a small booklet of 84 pages, biographical information on Archibald Newton Whitten and history of his song book, the Harp of Ages. Could be interesting to those interested in shape note music and/or Baptist history (especially Primitive Baptist history).

The Ahuman Manifesto: Activism for the End of the Anthropocene by Patricia MacCormack
“This book is a delightful provocation and invitation: to imagine a world without humans and to think of what we can do to get there. It is an urgent call for action. A joyful, lucid, fiercely intelligent call to readers to hope and work for a future not for themselves, but for the thriving of all nonhuman life. Engaging with this book will be a transformative experience. One cannot see the world or oneself in the same way after reading it.” ― Christine Daigle, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Posthumanism Research Institute, Brock University, Canada

Principles of Worship

While it is probable that some churches have no conscious or consistent “principle” of worship by which they discern what is good and allowable or bad and prohibited, nevertheless most Baptist (and Protestant) worship practices will fit generally into the following recognized categories – Informed, Normative, and Regulative.[i]

The Informed Principle of Worship

What is commanded in Scripture regarding the public worship of God is required; whatever is prohibited is forbidden; and whatever is not forbidden is permissible. This is a relatively new term to describe what is an older practice of worship (in principle).[ii] Steve M. Schlissel of Messiah’s Covenant Community Church in Brooklyn, New York has especially actively promoted it. The Informed Principle of Worship is something of a compromise that tries to strike a balance between the Normative Principle on one hand, and the Regulative Principle on the other. Schlissel claims that both the Normative and Regulative “propositions fail to meet the test of tota scriptura,” adding further “What is not forbidden might be permitted. It depends.”

The Normative Principle of Worship

Whatever is not forbidden in the Scriptures may be lawfully used in the public worship of God. If a practice is not explicitly contrary to God’s Law and has not been forbidden in the Word, then it may be employed in worship. For example, since the Bible does not specifically forbid putting on a play/drama, interpretive dance, or pledging the flag, then these are acceptable to do as a form of worship under the Normative Principle. Anglican pastor Greg Goebel boils down the Normative Principle to “seeking to obey Scripture, honor our past, and worship him in Spirit and in Truth.”[iii]

On the one hand, the Normative Principle may encourage creativity of practice and expression, as well as appear more relaxed and spontaneous. On the other hand, it opens the door to the inventions and imaginations of men that cannot be supported by Scripture and yet cannot excluded because they are not specifically addressed (forbidden) by Scripture.

The Regulative Principle of Worship

Whatever is commanded in the Scriptures for the public worship of God is required, and whatever is not commanded is prohibited. This principle accepts that only God and not man ordains how he will be worshipped. The law of exclusion is a complementary idea, noting that the specification of one thing in worship is the prohibition or exclusion of every other thing that is different from it.[iv]

The Regulative Principle of Worship is not man putting blinders on God, but God putting a bit in man's heart. God knows and looks upon our hearts, but we do not know our hearts. God should be not worshipped by the imaginations and inventions of men, but according to the word of God contained in the Scriptures. Or, as the Second London Baptist Confession puts it, “…the acceptable way of worshipping the true God, is instituted by himself, and so limited by his own revealed will…”[v] Affirmed elements set forth in Scripture – such as preaching, praying, baptizing, giving, communing – are therefore the natural and biblical elements of worship. That which God introduces and not man is all that should bind and compel the conscience of any worshipper.

---

[i] If you are aware of others, I am interested to know of them.

[ii] While the term is acceptable, it is pejorative in the sense it implies the other two views are uninformed.

[iii] The Anglican tradition says the Normative Principle teaches that worship “should retain traditions that have a long history, wide use, and are not forbidden or contradicted by Holy Scripture.”

[iv] For example, when God specifies gopher wood, he excludes oak wood.

[v] The Regulative Principle relates specifically to spiritual elements of worship that God requires by command, precept, or example. It is not about wearing togas because they did so in first-century Rome, or whether we arrive at the meetings on foot, horseback, train, or automobile. There are also things that have to do with the elements of the gathered meeting, either directly or that facilitate it. The printed Bible, from which we read, preach, and teach. The communion table. The hymnbooks. The box where the offerings are placed. Some not as important or necessary as others. The pews on which we sit. The pulpit on which the Bible rests. Lights help us to see the Bible and the hymnbooks, and a little HVAC can contribute to the comfort of being there in extreme temperatures. However, those are not part and parcel of spiritual worship. We can sing from memory, sit on the floor, and solace ourselves with a funeral parlour fan.

• 7 Signs That You’re a Cage-Stage Calvinist -- “The first sign of a Cage-Stage Calvinist is an Obsessive Calvinism Disorder—when Calvinism is all you think about; all you read about; all you want to talk about.”
• Christianity makes strong claims! And that’s a good thing. -- “They underscore the fact that Christianity is grounded in reality. And that means our faith is meaningful.”
• Dubious downloads: How to check if a website and its files are malicious -- “When you have found a site that offers a file for download, there are a few actions you can take to check whether the site is trustworthy.”
• Escaping the “Cage Stage” -- “Cage-stage Calvinists are identifiable by their insistence on turning every discussion into an argument for limited atonement or for making it their personal mission to ensure everyone they know hears—often quite loudly—the truths of divine election.”
• Is the Bible Always Binding for Today? -- “One of the heresies of our time is the denial that God provides specific instruction on church order and behaviour.”
• Mohler, Draper: TNIV controversy makes HCSB translation even more important -- “But Schreiner said the TNIV’s changes often go too far, resulting in a change in theological meaning.”
• Penal Substitution and the Trinity -- “Therefore God’s nature will be reflected in the actions of each Person of the Trinity and both unity and distinction between the Persons will be reflected in what God does.”
• Megyn Kelly and Bill Maher get candid on cancel culture -- “According to Maher, the irony of cancel culture is ‘that the people who hate bullying are always bullying. All they care about is getting a scalp on the wall...’”

The bigger the mouth, and other quotes

“The bigger the mouth, the smarter you look when you keep it closed.” – Unknown

“Roman Catholicism is pagan Rome baptized, a Christian reproduction of the universal empire seated of old in the city of the seven hills.” -- Philip Schaff

“Once a society accepts killing as an answer to human suffering, the caste of killables never stops expanding.” -- Wesley J. Smith

“There is no known law of nature, no known process, and no known sequence of events which can cause information to originate by itself in matter.” -- Werner Gitt

“Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.” -- L. M. Montgomery

“Waiting to make the perfect decision means you never make any decision.” -- Heard

“Trust the Lord and tell the people.” -- old Baptist line

“If you dislike someone, dislike them alone. Do not recruit others to join your cause.” -- Toby Mckeehan

“The regulative principle as applied to public worship frees the church from acts of impropriety and idiocy.” -- Derek Thomas

“We must know the Bible doctrinally and must know our doctrine biblically.” -- W. R. Downing

“Zion’s King is the world’s King; Zion’s salvation is the world’s salvation.” -- J. Alec Motyer

“The Bible is to be trusted wholly, for it is the inspired, infallible Word of God.” -- Peter Masters

Office of ministry of the word

“He that ministers the Word ought principally to experience the grace of God in his own heart and the power of it – in that grand and evangelical work of regeneration. Then he can understand those blessed mysteries of the sacred Scriptures so that he may unfold them to others, and have a lawful call which altogether constitutes, though he never saw a university.”

Benjamin Keach

“The edification and beauty of the Church is much concerned in her order, not such an order as superstition will dictate, or litigious nicety contend for, but such as sets her in a conformity with Christ’s will; and particularly the filling up of the offices which He has appointed, with persons duly qualified for the administration of them, and the regular acting both of officers and members in their respective positions.”

Nehemiah Coxe

“The office is the function and the function is the office.”

Concerning pastors, Albert Mohler

The gospel uniform

I referenced the following hymn January the 27th when I wrote in memory of Burl Russell. It is a Common Meter hymn titled “The gospel uniform,” No. 184 in Benjamin Lloyd’s The Primitive Hymns. In churches in East Texas, it is often sung with the tune on page 75 of The Sacred Harp, I Would See Jesus. That tune is Common Meter Doubled, so two lines of the stanza are sung to coordinate with the full amount of the tune.

1. Dressed uniform the soldiers are,
When duty calls abroad;
Not purchased by their cost or care,
But by their Prince bestowed.

2. ’Tis wrought by Jesus’ skillful hand,
And tinged in his own blood;
It makes the Christian gazing stand
To view this robe of God.

3. No art of man can weave this robe,
’Tis of such texture fine;
Nor could the wealth of all this globe
By purchase make it mine.

4. ’Tis of one piece, and wove throughout ;
So curious wove that none
Can dress up in this seamless coat,
Till Jesus puts it on.

5. This vesture never waxes old.
No spot thereon can fall;
It makes the Christian brisk and bold
And dutiful withal.

6. This robe put on me, Lord, each day.
And it shall hide my shame;
Shall make me fight, and sing, and pray
And bless my Captain’s name.

I have been unable to determine the author of the words. It appears at least as early as 1832 in A New Selection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs: Designed for Prayer, Conference and Camp-meetings with ten stanzas.
