Think how much saner American political discourse would be, if only Americans understood the two-kingdoms.  But they don't, and so political discourse is often insane.  Here's yet another egregious example of what happens when the distinction between the two-kingdoms is not even a category.  Rev. Jeremiah Wright preaches a funeral sermon for a friend and member of his congregation.  What a golden opportunity for Rev. Wright to bash Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Fox News!  I guess if you are a theological liberal (like Wright) and can't offer the hope of salvation and a bodily resurrection through Jesus Christ's  triumph over sin,  death, and the grave, you might as well bash Fox.   Click here: Rev.

Thanks to Richard Davis for submitting this very helpful chart setting out the two-age model.  http://kimriddlebarger.squarespace.com/the-two-age-model-chart/TwoAgeEschaton.pdf

Mike Horton has been lecturing on Romans at Christ United Reformed Church, Santee.  Great stuff!  Click here: Welcome to Christ United Reformed Church Santee

Here are ten more reasons why I hate to fly.  How come Lindberg Field in San Diego didn't make the list?  I 've only landed there once, but I rather like landing in the middle of a densely-populated area, and looking into hotel windows next to the runway while the plane lands, and then the pilot slams on the brakes.  Click here: The World's Scariest Runways | Travel + Leisure

Concerning Lindberg Field you forgot to mention that planes are only 50-100 feet above the Laurel Travel Plaza a few hundred yards before approaching the runway!

Is that photo for Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten real? There is no way that beach is open with planes that low!

The St. Maartens photos are real. Here are a lot more. :)

The St. Maartens pics are real. Check out www.airliners.net for a great selection.
And that's "brakes" - hopefully!

"I guess if you are a theological liberal (like Wright) and can't offer the hope of salvation and a bodily resurrection through Jesus Christ's triumph over sin, death, and the grave, you might as well bash Fox."

Mmmm, nah, there's plenty of other reasons to bash Fox. Like the fact thay you can turn on Falwell's broadcast Sunday morning and see Roman Catholic Sean Hannity whipping up the Evangelical Liberty crowd over thinly veiled ideology, kidding itself about being "theologically conservative." ECT, anyone?

Fair and balanced, riiiiight.

Well, regarding the two kingdom confusion, nearly 1/4 of Americans are Catholic and Pope Benedict is on his way with political statements for his flock, so we all better be praying for another Reformation revival.

Thanks for posting the Michael Horton Links. I just started reading 'Where in the World is the Church' and this is a perfect companion.

Hey Zrim,
Yes, I'll go one step further:
When the Reformed Church, Independent Fundamental Baptists and Catholics are all bowing the knee to Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the Republican party, what difference is there in us practically speaking on Monday - Saturday anyway?

We are already more concerned about who gets elected in 2008 than we are concerned about what is truth, anyway!

The best way to land on that runway in Lesotho is with a parachute.
