Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews? Servetus? Holy cow!”) I do not disavow.   Stonewall and Lee like knights of old Fought for their native soil, The true and lovely to uphold Against the tyrant’s spoil.   (“Those vile racists broke their vow!”) I do not disavow.   Men

More Humor from the Tower of Babel

Posted By
The men set about to build "a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven." This doesn't mean, as we often think, that the tower was supposed to be really tall. It means that the tower was intended to be a temple: a stairway to heaven.

Dr. Leithart points out that Nimrod built Babel, and the earth was divided (i.e.- by languages) in the time of Peleg. Nimrod was the 3rd generation from Noah, Peleg was the 6th. So the building of the tower didn't happen in a month or two; Nimrod had been overseeing it for at least three generations.

Here's the punchline. These men had spent three generations building their tower to storm the gates of heaven and put themselves in God's place. They had taken at least 100 years building their stairway to heaven. Finally God, from heaven, "came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded."

Get it?
