a missional prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is
sadness, joy.

St. Francis of Assisi

Progressive Revelation

I am currently studying a doctrine called "progressive revelation". Charles Hodge strongly supported it, and I have always been taught it. Here are some thoughts in support of it.

Within the confines of His written Word, God gradually unveils:
* The attributes of His triune nature
* His purpose and plan for His creation
* His two-fold plan for saving and blessing his two elect groups of people;the remnant of Isreal, and the church which is His body.

God progressively reveals truth about Himself and His will throughout the Bible.
God progressively changes the people He deals with throughout the Bible.
God progressively changes the way He deals with people throughout the Bible.

    It's a shame that the word "progressive" has an evil connotation today.
