We got married! Our prayer is and always has been that the Lord be glorified in our relationship.

Pretty special day today getting the opportunity to spend some time with a 1536 Tyndale New Testament. This spectacularly preserved copy was printed the very year William Tyndale was burned at the stake. Tyndale is usually credited with coining or first popularizing a small but highly influential set of English biblical terms. One of which you can see on the very page Im looking at: atonement. Tyndale’s motivation was basically translation theology: he wanted an English word that could carry the biblical idea of estranged parties being made “at one” again, especially God and sinners through Christ. The word “atonement” appears to have existed just before Tyndale; Thomas More is often cited as an early user around 1513, meaning “reconciliation” or settlement after conflict. But Tyndale seems to have been the one who gave it its powerful biblical-theological career in English Bible translation, especially from 1526 onward. The word literally expressed “at-one-ment.” In early English, “atonement” meant something like being at one, concord, agreement, reconciliation. That made it useful for rendering biblical concepts of reconciliation between God and humanity. Tyndale used “atonement” because “reconciliation” alone did not fully capture, in earthy English, the biblical idea that Christ’s saving work makes God and sinners “at one.” It was a translator’s solution, but also a Reformation theological choice.

I used to think that Christianity meant you followed the teachings of Jesus, get baptized, go to church on Sundays, get married in a church and tried to be a good person and if you checked off enough boxes at the end of your life if you made God’s nice list you would be let into a heaven that was sky and clouds. This is what I thought being a Christian meant. I couldn’t have been anymore wrong. This is not what the Bible teaches about salvation or sin (Ephesians 2:8-9). The Bible emphatically declares all of us under sin (Romans 3:23), and rightfully deserving of hell and death (Romans 6:23). But that God in his great mercy and love for us has provided a way out, the Gospel (John 3:16). That if we believe Jesus, the Son of God (John 20:31), lived a sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), served as the atoning sacrifice for our sins by His crucifixion (1 Peter 2:24), and that God has raised him up from the dead (Romans 10:9), that we would be saved (Acts 16:31). God has promised us this in His Word (1 John 5:11-13) and God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Plainly stated in the most available book in the history of mankind for all to see the Way of salvation (Romans 1:16). No amount of works, or baptisms, or holy communions could afford us this benefit (Galatians 2:16). It is completely a free gift from God (Ephesians 2:8). It cannot be earned or merited in any way (Romans 4:4-5). And it is this precious blood of Christ that we must rely on completely to be saved (1 Peter 1:18-19). Not our own efforts, not being a “good person”, not anything we do at all! (Isaiah 64:6) But God’s grace (Titus 2:11). Repent and receive the Good News Today! (Mark 1:15)

I’ve been on these tours a few times now. I’ll continue to go on them each time I visit London as a reminder and an encouragement of what Christ has done and can do through His followers. The best thing you can do in London is go on one of these tours.

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24

The amount of last minute “hey we can’t make it cause of X” and “Hey our plans changed and we can make it” and the “Got any room for a 1?” that you get in the final week before your wedding is a lot. Invitations and RSVP is by far the most stressful part of wedding planning

Life’s good. I’m grateful. Thank you Lord! 🙌🏼

What does it mean to rejoice in Christ? In this video, Dr. Michael Reeves describes how Christians can understand the call to rejoice and find joy in all circumstances.

“Sing to the Lord, bless his name; proclaim his salvation from day to day.” Psalms 96:2

“Mankind, with his assets but without understanding, is like the animals that perish.” Psalms 49:20

Justification gets you out of Egypt, but sanctification gets Egypt out of you.

What comes first usually sets the tone for the rest of the day. So give the first thought of the day to God, not your worries.

We can have no true knowledge of God, desire towards him, access unto him, or gracious communications from him, but in and through the Son of his love.
