Derek Thomas: The one the Lord rejected?
June 18, 2009
I notice Delboy's link to Trueman's ordination simply loops back to the same page. Is this proof that blogging is, as we all suspect, mere narcissism? Or is it perchance that Derek wants to deny readers access to Bill Barcley's excellent sermon, where he drew a stunning parallel between Derek and Eliab (you know -- the son of Jesse that the Lord rejected, 1 Sam. 16: 6-11). I had never seen the parallel before -- but once Bill had pointed it out, it was spookily obvious, really. Ashamed that I had never spotted it in the past, I will certainly never read the Old Testament in quite the same way again. Indeed, many in the congregation commented that they found this point particularly instructive and edifying.
