What it means to be Right-Wing, Left-wing, Conservative, or Progressive.

• Modernity is not having access to hot and cold water
• Modernity is a worldview
• The thing that gives us a radical Christian outlook is the doctrine that Jesus is Lord
• This doctrine is not left-wing or right-wing, it is Christian.

 

The French and American Revolutions Compared

• Written by Friedrich von Gentz
• Translated into English by John Quincy Adams (because he thought so highly of it)
• This book shows how radically unlike the American revolution and French revolutions were from each other
• A great book if you want to learn more about the revolutions!

 

Harmartiology

• The word “anathema” means cursed or damned
• Act 23:14, 1 Cor. 12:3, Rom. 9:3, 1 Cor. 16:22
