Revival of Optimism

I am taking online seminary and I am once again faced with eschatology as a discipline ona theologian. Pessimistic eschatologies have been popular for a century, but there is am alternative theology, a theology of dominion. It was the reigning faith of the Puritans in that first century (1630-1660) when they began to sundue the wilderness of New England. It was the colloborated faith of the American Revolution. It began to fade in the rise of Darwinian evolutionary heresy in the second half of the nineteenth century. Why has it faded?

Kurt Steele A Glorious Failure

I am watching and praying tonight. I see His glory wherever I look. The bible is full of stories of men and women who have miserably faled but glpriously have conquered sin, death, pain, and falure by God's grace to the praise of the glory of His grace. It is all for His glory. How great is our God. He is the name above all name. My victory, my forgiveness, my new life, my hope, my peace...all for His pleasure and for His glory. How great is our God. I stand complete in Him for His glory. I am righteous because of his death and resurrection for His glory. I reign with Him in the heavenlies for His glory. I worship Him for His glory. I am in a warfare for His glory. I am healed for His glory. He is worthy. His name is above all names. My heart sings....HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD...I am worsipping Him and I can not stop...He is worthy...it is all about His glory...I see revival happening...my prayer is send Your glory...THERE IS POWER, DELIVERANCE, FREEDOM in Your Glory...

I lay hold of You God...i will not let go until you come like the refreshing rain in revival and power...till we all lay down everything at the cross...until we are broken at the cross...

What Kurt Steele Loves About the Puritans!

English Puritans

The world hates the Lord and so has the world hated the Lord's faithful ones. These were men driven by spiritual priorities. The puritans have been stereotyped for years as stern and legalistic. The propaganda on these men are pictured as "killjoys".

The historical puritans were not even close to the stereotypical puritans in our history books.

In 1938 and 1939, 4 North American scholars changed the face of Puritans studies forever:

William Haller wrote the volume, "The Rise of Puritanism"
Marshall Knappen wrote the book, "Tutor Puritanism"
Perry Miller released the work, "The New England Mind"
ASP Woodhouse penned, "The Puritan and Liberty"

Their writings released facts that the Puritans were good sense of humor and a life that enjoyed the fine things that God had created to enjoy. They found pleasure and enjoyment from the world which God created for His glory.
