Thema: The Objectivity of the Covenant
Douglas Wilson summarizes the historic Protestant view of the covenant.
"
The church is therefore a covenanted body, organically connected
to Christ. As a covenant body in history, it contains organic members who
are faithful and organic members who are not. The faithful members
persevere to the end only because God has decreed it and given it to them.
The unfaithful members are cut out because of unbelief. While they
experienced grace, they were not given persevering
grace."

Food for the Journey - Douglas Wilson
"The sun was westering, and as Andrew had nothing better to
do, he walked slowly across the meadow toward it. The meadow
was surrounded on all sides by a thick army of trees, and Andrew did
not quite know what he should do. As he walked, pushing the grass
aside with his hands, he stumbled into a little clearing—a meadow
within the meadow."

Pointy Top - Nathan Wilson
"
My son is looking at me. He has been eating yogurt. I have
a daughter as well. She's around here somewhere, a wife also. I fish out
a practically decomposed mini-wheat from the milk depths and offer it
to the boy's face. His face accepts."
