The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God

In one of his most significant works, “The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God” (437 pp. P&R, 1987), Dr. John M. Frame explores our relationship with God as a knowing relationship:

“We tend to forget how often in Scripture God performs His mighty acts so that men will ‘know’ that he is Lord.”

After hearing so many people holding this book “DKG” in high esteem, and having a friend (or two) prepared to read it through with me, I have bumped it up on the reading list to one of my top spots! I am really looking forward to this — and hope to comment on the book here on The Breadline from time to time.

I welcome your comments — especially if you have read it (or want to read it with me).

Wheels up,

Happy 100th, Boy Scouts!

On February 8, 1910 the Boy Scouts of America was founded, and this year 2010 they are celebrating their 100th Anniversary! I am in my 10th year an Assistant Scoutmaster of troop 246 here in the Twin Rivers Council (yes, I even have the uniform).

The mission of scouting is reflected in the old Scout Oath and Law:

The Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

When you consider these, I think you will agree that scouting is good for our young men and good for America. You can visit their national web site at http://www.scouting.org.
