Under the chestnut tree

It's not easy being different.

I am not Emeth

He is a Calormene warrior in C.S Lewis' "The Last Battle". When the Pevensie's find him, he is under a chestnut tree. Pauline Bayne's artwork is spot on. She captures him pondering, wondering and a peace with himself. For why not? He has met Aslan himself.

Now a little about me...

I am a 5 Sola, TULIP, cessationistic, Amillenianist, Covenant Theology Reformed Calvinist in Malaysia; where 99.999% of Protestant Christians hold opposing views to the above. (Okay, I exaggerate, it's something like 99.2%.

So I am kind of used to being a different kind of Christian. And this is frustrating to some of my dear brother's and sisters in Christ who just wish I would stop thinking and theologising so much, just 'let go and let God', wave my hands in the air like I don't care and just stick to the Purpose Driven life

Nope. Sorry. Homey don't do dat :-)


I'm going to share my opinions about certain issues relating to Christianity and the church on this blog. If you don't like them, please keep in mind that this is my garden and no one has forced you to come here. But you are welcome to visit and I do appreciate civilised behaviour from genteel guests, so a little respect and courtesy when commenting will be the rule for the day. Ok? :-)

Sola Fide
