What is my only comfort in life and death? This is how the
Heidelberg Catechism from the Reformation period begins. This is
where this devotional begins: Comfort. Comfort for the struggling,
suffering, sick and grieving believer. If you take the great
reformation hymn by Martin Luther and change one word, you'll
understand where Dr. Almodovar got the title for this comforting
and compassion filled devotional: A Mighty Comfort Is our God A
Bulwark NEVER faililng...
A prince, a pastor and a professor come to Heidelberg and effect
theological change in the castle, church and college just as God
had ordained to occur. Reformation had been occurring across Europe
when Frederick III, surnamed Frederick the Pious (1515-1576),
became Elector of the Palatinate in 1559. Max Gobel wrote, "The
Heidelberg Catechism may be regarded as the flower and fruit of the
entire German and French Reformation; it has Lutheran fervor,
Melanchthonian clearness, Zwinglian simplicity, and Calvinistic
fire blended into one . . ," giving evidence that Elector Frederick
III's desire for unity was accomplished in both the formation and
publication of the Heidelberg Catechism. Tracing the Hand of God
(His Providence) through these three men is intended to help
today's believer understand that God is both Omnipotent and
Omnibenevolent, that these two are not at odds with each other. The
problem of pain is dealt with from a catechetical position using
these three main composers of the Heidelberg as examples of God's
Rule and Care for His Creation, His Church and His child/ren.
"Apolo-what ? ? " "Apologize?...For what?" Typically these are the
responses to the word "Apologetics." What exactly is "apologetics?"
Paul told Timothy "Do your best to present yourself to God as one
approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling
the word of truth. " (2 Timothy 2:15) therefore, I encourage you to
begin studying the reasons for your faith.
For several millenniums theologians and philosophers have long
searched for a reconciliation between a Sovereign God and
suffering. This booklet offers a brief history of these so called
theodices and presents a solid argument that God who ordains all
things also purposes suffering for His honor and glory.
An overview of scholarly concerns regarding the Doctrine of
Justification by Faith Alone as the "Articulus stands aut Cadentis
Ecclesiae" and whether or not it maintains this position within
today's Evangelical Churches
