September 7, 2025, the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time: This Sunday’s Gospel reading presents a much more difficult challenge to anyone who wished to follow after Jesus. A disciple must hate “father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life” (Lk 14:26). How can anyone understand these unreasonable demands?

If we truly believe that Scripture is sufficient, then we must not only believe rightly—we must also worship, live, and love according to the word of God. Semper reformanda must remain more than a slogan; it must become the heartbeat of the church today. . . . Continue reading →| The Heidelblog

Sometimes people approach faith like it's a competition. A verse or passage is read, and instead of seeking to understand it, the focus shifts to proving who is right. When the rush to be right takes over, conversations that could be moments of learning or reflection turn into debates about who can quote Scripture the fastest or defend their interpretation the strongest.

Daily devotionals are a beautiful way to connect with your spouse on a spiritual level. But in our experience working with couples, they’re surprisingly hard to do as a married couple. For some couples, praying and studying together feel easy during the dating years. Once you cross the proverbial threshold of marriage, everyday obligations take over. Suddenly, daily devotionals don’t feel quite as endearing as they used to. They have a different energy. With so many daily demands, it can ...| SYMBIS Assessment

The notion of the “Scriptures” has undergone radical changes across the centuries. Today, we picture them as a single book, the Bible. Indeed, we picture that book as private property, perhaps a personal guide for all things spiritual.

Previously, I have reflected on why the New Testament appears in the order that is does and how considering different orders can better inform our engagement with Scripture. Of course, talking about the New Testament in this way raises the obvious question, “what about the Old Testament?” This article is an attempt to answer that question by looking at the major orders in which the Old Testament can appear. First, we will consider canonical order: The post The Old Testament in Order appea...| Conciliar Post

One of the key doctrinal principles of the Protestant Reformation was sola Scriptura. This principle emphasized Scripture rather than tradition as the final authority in faith and practice. The Protestant Reformers and their immediate theological heirs affirmed sola Scriptura because they believed that the Bible, as God’s very Word, was sufficient for the doctrine and […]| Helwys Society Forum

Douglas Van Dorn March 29, 2024 So it seems that the outrage-of-the-week from many Christians on the left is Donald Trump collaborating together with the singer Lee Greenwood, famous for his “God Bless the USA” song, to sell the “God Bless The USA Bible.” As one local Denver preacher puts it, he was taught to revere the Bible and assumed there would be outcry from those who taught him what to believe about the Bible. But all he got was crickets from this marketing stunt. “We’ve lo...| Douglas Van Dorn

If I estimate it correctly, most of the churchist attacks on sola scriptura are based on the thesis that without an authoritative church, it is every man with his Bible and his own private interpretation; no one could know what the right interpretation is; we could never have one holy catholic church; and Protestantism’s 26,000 denominations (or 35,000, or 48,000, or whatever number is alleged today) is all the proof we need of the impossibility of sola scriptura.
