The Forgotten Person
The Holy Spirit Since Pentecost is upon us, it is common to accuse the Reformed of minimizing the 3rd Person of the Trinity–maybe even having forgotten him. But this characterization could not be further from the truth. True, we may speak of the Father and the Son more often, but that is because we take…
Do Mark, Matthew, and Luke Contradict?
We discussed this during the sermon on Sunday, April 26th, as to whether the disciples were told to take a staff (Mark) or not to take a staff (Matthew and Luke) when Jesus sent them out.
