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

Things I Wholeheartedly Affirm

Posted By
  • I wholeheartedly affirm that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. James 2:24

  • I wholeheartedly affirm that baptism saves you. 1 Peter 3:21

  • I wholeheartedly affirm the Westminster Confession of Faith with no major exceptions.


    • It's okay to use Biblical language without endlessly qualifying every statement you make. The Bible is not a systematic theology textbook; words can mean different things in different contexts or have various shades of meaning. The reader or hearer should be able to distinguish between them.

    No, no, we must endlessly qualify everything and all things.... eternally, completely, wholeheartedly.
