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 2024-198: One Man’s Weird

I just read a post on According to Hoyt on the way in which the new talking point of the left has become “weird”.  The party of admirals who don’t know how to dress like a man and a man who steals the dresses of women has the nerve to called people who marry and have children “weird”.  I find that I have to agree with Hoyt’s point about it being a badge we wear with honor.

There is a Biblical parallel if you are a KJV reader.

(1Pe 2:9 KJV)  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
In the terms of Peter we are not weird, we are “peculiar”.  The KJV is not my translation of choice but sometimes it has a glorious way of expressing itself.  If you are a believer, embrace the weird.  Identify with the peculiar.  You are part of a temporal minority.  You will become the majority when the wheat is separated from the chaff.

I salute you.
