The new blog

I got the idea for my new blog from the book I am currently reading, "The Bondage of the Will" by Martin Luther. At the end of the historical and theological introduction it says, "Sola fide, Sola gratia, SOLI DEO GLORIA!" Of course those are only 3 of the 5 solas of the reformation, the other 2 being, "Sola scriptura and Solus Christus." The meaning of each is as follows:

1. Sola scriptura- By Scripture alone

2. Sola Fide- By faith alone

3. Sola gratia- By grace alone

4. Solus Christus- By Christ alone

5. Soli Deo gloria- Glory to God alone

Instead of trying to do this daily like I did for my previous blog, this one is going to be weekly (mostly because I am waaayyy to busy right now to do a daily one anymore :)

I will start next week with a post on the first sola, "Sola Scriptura." Then the following week I will either continue on that subject or move on to the next sola, depending on how much studying/exposition time I get.


Finally, if anyone has any topics/verses/subjects or anything else they would like to submit for discussion I gladly welcome any and all ideas.

Soli Deo Gloria!!!
