Sunday's Hymn: Reader's Choice
It was Melanie of Motherhood Apologia who suggested this week’s hymn. She likes it
because it IS well with my soul. This song is the first that I long to sing when life’s circumstances are overwhelming and full of sorrows. It is a great reminder that we are never without hope!
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
—-Horatio Spafford (Listen.)

Quiz Key: Justification, Question 1
I know I said I’d post a complete answer key to the little quiz on justification today. However, once I began working on the key, I could see that if giving the answers involved giving the reasons for those answers, a complete answer key wasn’t going to be a document of blog post length. So I’ve decided to divide the key into parts and post each part as I complete it.
This post includes the answer to question 1 and the reasons for that answer. The quiz has quite a bit of redundency built into it, so I’m hoping that as I move through it, I can simply refer back to previous proofs as evidence, and then I’ll be able to include more than one question in each post.
I’ve also decided that when I can, I will use the recently posted Westminster Catechism questions and answers as proof of the historical reformed protestant answers to the quiz questions. I will also try to give some scriptural evidence for each answer.
Do you have your red pencil ready?

Quiz: Justification
Updated on Friday, July 27, 2007 at 12:19PM by

I like making them, and people seem to like doing them, so it’s a shame it’s been so long since we’ve had a theological quiz. This one is on justification. It is, as you might expect, from a historic reformed protestant* position on the subject, so if you want to get an A+ on the quiz, then you have to give the historic reformed protestant answers.
I will attempt to give a short justification for the answers I accept as correct when I post the answers to the quiz on Saturday.
Ready, set, go: Choose the one option that is most correct.

Nepotism
Too Much Fun for Just a Sidebar Link
The Pyromaniacs give us a series of motivational posters for emerging Christians. “Feel free,” Phil says, “to print these out, post them on other blogs, or subject them to critical scrutiny.”
My favorite is this one.
What’s yours?

Summer Sandals
Yes, we are swimming in the shallow end of the pool today. Those who prefer the deep end should swim elsewhere.
Two weeks ago I purchased a pair of Børn sandals like the pair pictured. Usually I wear clunkier sandals. I’ve been partial to Tevas, for instance, and other sandals of the walking/hiking sort, thinking they have the corner on cool comfort. But hiking sandals don’t look all that great with a dress on Sunday, do they? And I have long feet—size 9, if you must know—and there’s nothing like a clunky shoe to emphasis the size of my feet.
So I bought these sandals on the recommendation of oldest daughter, who has a black pair, and size 9 feet, too. She works as a server, so she is running on her feet for 8-10 hours a day for her job, and she wears these every day. She’s never had a pair of sandals so easy on the feet, she says.
My verdict? Oldest daughter is right. This is one pair of comfortable sandals! And I don’t hate it that they don’t add bulk to my feet or that they look downright delicately dressy when worn with a dress.
I’m sold, and I think I might like a pair in this style, too. In black.
