I don't believe I have ever used a freeze drying process, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, to a point. There gets to be a point at which the seeds can dry out so much that they are no longer viable. I would experiment by starting with a large batch of very good seed (90%+ germination rate), then freeze a very small amount of that batch for 80% of the time Jayhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-89726253116494115722016-08-21T18:14:24.481-07:002016-08-21T18:14:24.481-07:00Is there a short list of vegetable or fruit seed t...Is there a short list of vegetable or fruit seed that could work with freeze drying processes ? That is, the freeze dryer from harvest right freezes first then dries with warmth on the drying trays, then vacuums the moisture. Harvest right says someone tried it then found the seeds did germinate, but there was only one person and no list of working seeds.

Missing You
Wow - Friday already! Can you believe we've whizzed through another week? It's already the second week of January and there's no end in sight for the whirlwind. The first week back in school was pretty uneventful, but it did afford me some time to get a couple cards made. This little beauty is created using an example from the CTMH "Originals" book. There are some beautiful creations in that book - you should check it out. If you don't know how to get your hands on it, just drop me a comment and I can hook you up :) Anyway, the card I patterned this after was stitched around the edges, and since my little sewing machine isn't working right, I scored around the edges. One of the things I love most about CTMH papers is the fact they have a white core, so after I made my score lines, I sanded with a bit of sandpaper and voila - the white outline. The rest is pretty straightforward - layered papers and ribbon with a tiny paper flower in the center, along with red brads. I love it. Simple, yet still so many fun elements. Hope you enjoy your weekend - I'll be trying to get creative some more and maybe even get another post on here before the weekend is up. See you soon - Bren

Della Ding's new album "Soul Mate" debuts at second place on both the G-Music and Five Music album sales charts after its first week. To add to that, her latest single, "One Half", is also first place on the KKBOX singles chart. At a recent signing event, she revealed that the song portrays her exact feelings of loneliness as she is currently single, "I asked my company to give me more work to fill up my entire schedule, so I won't feel lonely."
The song talks about going to dinner and the movies alone, which Della could instantly relate to; she even cried during the recording of the song under the emotion. Della fans can look forward to enjoying her live performance at Legacy around March or April.
Will Pan continues to top the album sales chart this week. He gave a special performance at the finale of the singing competition show One Million Star last weekend. Check out his performance below:

What I always like to do at a dinner party is brightly whip out my iPad and show everyone pictures of my day in a cemetery.
That isn't actually true, but it occurred at this particular dinner party, which while not quite up with the soup from hell disaster of last October, had so many teething problems that I'm amazed I didn't just burst into tears when my friends arrived.

- While putting beer up on the shelves, I put the box the wrong way round and three bottles fell out resulting in a terrifying jumble of limbs, screaming, and smashing all over the floor
- The wine was corked. All of it. I had 18 bottles
- My completely trusted casserole threw an unprecedented fit of not quite working
- My first guest, who I was hoping to impress, had to go to the shop and get some different wine
- I felt utterly guiltbarrassed
- The guiltbarrassment caused my brain to short circuit so I put the plates in the oven for an hour instead of 10 minutes
That aside, it was a wonderful evening with tremendous people. Nobody died! That's pretty much all you can hope for in such a perfect storm of incident.
So, those are the circumstances that lead to me showing people pictures of Nunhead Cemetery in the middle of a dinner party at all. I wasn't just hanging around it for the lolz, although I am a Victorian at heart, but for a volunteer day with the office and Groundwork UK.
I'm intrigued by London's vast network of beautiful cemeteries, and on the occasion that I've wandered around Highgate or Stoke Newington, found them rather incredible. My friend Issy did the whole lot of the Magnificent Seven (basically, London's top sexiest cemeteries) as part of her new year's resolution to do a different resolution each month, and I was deeply reassured when her boyfriend Josh tweeted me to say that Nunhead had won the accolade of their second favourite cemetery when doing the tours.
(We'll come back to this lovely chapel later when we OH MY GOD go into the crypt.)
Nunhead Cemetery was abandoned years ago when it ran out of room to bury people. That's basically the world's most miserable landfill. I also love the idea that people can just casually go "Oh, you know, let's just leave it, nobody will notice" and run off whistling. As a result it became wildly overgrown, with trees and gravestones falling over each other in the manner of a Tim Burton theme park, and it only opened again in 2001 after years of careful restoration.
After some introductory corporate bonding (never not hideous) we split into two groups, with ribbons to wear for identification. At this point I rather wondered if we were going to have a horticultural Battle Royale. My group was tidying up the tatty banks of the beeches, which involved industrial amounts of raking, cutting and heaping, then I went off to build a bird box. As I hadn't wielded a saw since D&T classes at school, I wasn't expecting this to go well, but it was actually really fun.
Well I say fun, the poor man who was teaching us to make them had clearly taught school children who were quicker on the uptake.
"Look mum, no hands! (were destroyed during the making of this bird box)"
After this I went back to join my yellow group rakers, via the most circuitous route I could so I could have a good nosey round the grounds. It was all so still, so green and so peaceful.
I wandered off the main paths down some smaller ones, with gravestones everywhere. Piled on top of each other, pushed out of the way by roots.
There were so many stones for babies and children. This one, just about balancing under the stone that had fallen on it. Also, a lot of references to people "falling asleep" which gave me the raving heebs about ever going to bed again.
I turned a corner into an area lined with stones, and came across two dazzlingly well-kept graves with flowers. Apparently people are still buried here – I'm not entirely sure how, given the lack of room. Moments later, six waggy dogs pounded round the corner accompanied by a cheerful dogwalker who gave me a lovely spiel about the volunteers and that she called this part of the park "the magic path" which was rather nice.
After lunch we went on a quick tour, including that beautiful Anglican chapel from earlier. It was set fire to in the 70s when it was abandoned and the roof would cost too much to replace so now it has buddleia growing out of the top, and local film societies and schools hold concerts and show films here. Lovely. There was another chapel for atheists and non-Anglicans, but it got bombed in the war. Marvellously, the architect for both won the commissions in a magazine competition. More of this sort of thing please Condé.
The chap who was showing us round was clearly a bit of a showman as well as a fan of the cemetery, so when he asked if we'd like to go into the crypt it was like asking a group of kids if they'd quite like an ice cream.
The stalactites are made up of limestone water from the floor above, not spirits from Korean horror films. Despite knowing this, I still screamed involuntarily when one of them dripped on my head.
There was that feeling of something missing, which wasn't helped by bits of shroud and decaying wooden coffins. It made you think that the something missing might well be hiding malevolently in the corner, or just behind you with their arms outstretched.
It says something when you come out of a crypt and this is actually remarkably cheering by comparison.
We went off for more of a walk, past the Muslim section – top grave fact: Muslim coffins are buried top down so the occupant can face Mecca, and there's only one part of the cemetary with deep enough soil.
Further on, this one on the left is the most expensive plot in the entire place. It belonged to a City broker, go figure.
The "other lot" (fight! fight!) were clearing graves up by The View. This was a pretty hot property in Nunhead, apparently, as despite being a suburb outside London in the 19th century, you could still see St Paul's.
If you peered really, really hard.
We went back to tidy up everything that we'd raked, hacked and lopped through the day, and then chopped down some trees. RAAAAH! ENORMO BEAR GRYLLS MOMENT!
(A really, really small Bear Grylls moment.)
PS: I really hope my parents and godparents look forward to a nice album-full of cemetery chat should something disastrous occur at Sunday lunch. But ideally, that normal service can resume sans hilarious consequences.
PPS: This post has proven that I absolutely cannot spell cemetery. My fingers insist it ends with an -ary and I've had to go through every single instance and correct it. WRETCHED WORD.
PPS: I couldn't resist tweeting from inside the crypt, which now has to do a death match with "inside the ambulance carting me off to A&E" and "from on top of an elephant" for weirdest or most inappropriate place I have tweeted.

About Posted Stitches
Posted Stitches is a collaborative, fiber art challenge featuring a series of 10″x10″ art quilts by Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood and Beverley Laing. Each month they exchange fabric and notions via snail mail and create a quilt using as many of the supplies received as possible to create pieces to satisfy the month's design theme.
Jennifer and Bev committed to this ambitious art challenge without ever meeting in person. First they became pen pals via an exchange Jennifer organized through her CraftSanity podcast. Jennifer enjoyed Bev's numerous drawings that filled the margins of her letters and decided to she'd be the perfect artist pal to take on a challenge like this. So when Jennifer happened upon this great site featuring two friends doing a similar monthly challenge, she quickly pitched the idea to Bev in an e-mail dated April 25, 2008.
To Jennifer's delight Bev happily accepted the challenge and a flurry of e-mail was exchanged between the women who agreed to kick things off in June 2008. The goal is to keep the project going for at least one year.
Meet The Artists:
Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood
Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood, 32, is an American newspaper journalist and the producer of the independent CraftSanity blog and podcast. She writes a weekly art and craft column for The Grand Rapids Press where she has been a staff writer for more for more than a decade. Jennifer enjoys endurance sports and spending as much time as possible making art and other handmade goods. She lives in West Michigan with her husband and two daughters.
If I had to name three things I adore, they would include:
- My family (husband, Jeff, and our daughters, Abby & Amelia)
- Fabric, yarn, and public apron wearing
- Running & Swimming
(Sorry, I just couldn't narrow it to three. I adore so many things!)
Inspiration can be found everyday… by looking at my children. They inspire me to keep pushing to achieve my best.
Don't make me… stop talking.
I wish… I could teach everyone to craft.
I've never met Bev, but I reckon she… is taller than me, more likely to illustrate a children's book and willing to bungee jump.
Beverley Laing
Bev Laing, 35, is a Canadian living in Australia. A long-time craft aficionado, she is taking a short break from a career in marketing books. Posted Stitches was devised in the last weeks before she departed for a three-month around-the-world journey with her husband. Bev stitches on trains, in waiting rooms, on the deck, on the dock, even on the plane (without scissors), and dreams of a day when craft can enter both professional and play worlds for her. She runs a craft and art history blog, Taccolina, and another with her husband, and she's doodling up a storm…
If I had to name three things I adore, they would include:
- Cooking – and sampling the results, mmm.
- Fabric and stitching, and sewing and making, and drawing and doodling (do I have to stop now?)
- My family! (and of course, the dog)
Inspiration can be found everyday… at the Queen Vic Market
Don't make me… bungee jump (I'm scared of heights)
I wish… I could find time to do it all!
I've never met Jennifer but I reckon she… is one of the most tenacious and determined people I know.

Not so Classic Cordon Bleu #RSC
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 10mins
Recipe by jmessine
Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Ranch Contest Entry! This is my version of a Mediterranean Chicken Cordon Bleu! I like it because it's a modern twist on an old favorite! These creamy chicken "roll-ups" will be a hit with family and friends alike!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
- 1 (1 ounce) packet Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning Mix
- 2 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 3 teaspoons pepper, divided
- olive oil
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a glass baking dish by coating lightly with olive oil.
- Place one of the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap.
- Gently pound with the flat side of a meat tenderizer, taking care not to puncture the chicken, until about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 chicken breasts.
- In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, artichokes, roasted red peppers and Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning mix.
- Spoon 1/4 - 1/3 cup of this mixture onto each flattened piece of chicken breast.
- Carefully roll the chicken into a log, folding in the sides as you go.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 chicken breasts.
- In a small dish, combine the flour, 1 tsp of the salt and 1 tsp of the pepper.
- In a second dish, beat the eggs, and mix in 1 tsp of the salt and 1 tsp of the pepper.
- In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, the melted butter, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper.
- Gently take one rolled up piece of chicken, keeping the filling inside, and coat it in the seasoned flour.
- Transfer to the egg mixture and coat the chicken with that.
- After the egg, place the chicken in the breadcrumb/parmesan/butter mixture until completely coated.
- Place in the baking dish, seam side down.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 chicken breasts.
- Bake the chicken for 30 minutes, or until just done (juices run clear).
- Serve with your favorite side and enjoy!
- You will most likely have leftover Greek yogurt mixture; I highly recommend saving and pairing with scrambled eggs or spreading on a toasted bagel the next morning!

Posted on February 19 2016
It's been a while since my last Pinup Talk, but it's a blog series I'd love to continue as I'm lucky enough to feature some truly wonderful pinup girls here at My Retro Closet. I don't know about you, but I love to hear about their beauty inspirations and lingerie must haves so we can all learn how to steal their gorgeous pinup perfect photo shoot looks!
Next up is the beautiful Frenchie L'amour, you've probably seen her gorgeous face popping up all over your favourite online retro stores recently. Me and Frenchie collaborated last year, the shoot ended up being featured on a magazine cover (more to come on that topic...) and I wasn't able to use 90% of the images until after the issue came out. So now the magazine issue has been released and I able to reveal more stunning photos from our collaboration, now seems a better time than any to talk to one of the busiest pinup girl's around...
Frenchie L'amour wears my best selling 'Joan' & 'Jayne' babydoll and bed jacket set in powder blue chiffon with baby pink trims which you can purchase HERE. An absolutely stunning colour way the Frenchie chose herself, which has become constant customer fave since these photos came out. I can see why!
This beautiful photo shoot by Kustomnemo Photography was chosen as the front cover for Delicious Dolls magazine and their January 2016 cover! What a way to start the new year. I was absolutely over the moon, my second press feature and first front cover, a huge milestone for my small business!
1. Congratulations getting the January 2016 cover for Delicious Dolls magazine! Is 2016 jam-packed with more exciting accomplishments?
Well a girl never tells, but hopefully! I'm really trying to do as many shoots this year as I can and to work with lots more people!
2. With so many photo shoots already under your belt, what's your favourite style to shoot?
Definitely cheese cake pinup - I love the facial expressions and I'm a massive fan of Gil Elvgren.
Frenchie sure does have a touch of the cheeky Elvgren pinup about her, don't you think?
3. I've seen you do your own hair & makeup for your shoots and you're also a hairdresser! Who are your beauty and styling inspirations?
I take so many of my beauty and styling ideas from so many ladies of the 40s/50s! Elizabeth Taylor has got to be a favourite of mine! I also did so much research when I first started pinup modelling to find the best hairstyle that would suit me! Although I do get called Snow White quite often...
4. What key lingerie pieces would you suggest to replicate your perfect pin up look?
My number one is fully fashions stockings- I love gio stockings. Then of course a pair of marabou slippers. (A girl after our own heart!)
6. Finally, I have to ask, what's on your My Retro Closet wish list?
No, if I had to chose one item....my favourite colour is yellow, so a yellow "Bettie" nighty and "Peggy" bed jacket!
I hope you've enjoyed the second interview in my Pinup Talk blog series. Isn't Frenchie L'amour lovely? Hopefully we'll collaborate again in the future, I think my new 'Bardot' Babydoll and Bed Jacket would suit her and her Elvgren pinup style perfectly!
Who would you like to see me interview next? Or who do you think should be the next face at My Retro Closet? I'd love to know!
Thanks for reading, pinups!

I had fussy cut some of the shell elements to put them in the corner units. The stripe seems to set things off nicely but I sorta wish I had cut the sashing just a tad narrower.The backing is prepped and the top added to the rest of the "to be pinned" at some point, hanging in my clothes closet. Good thing I don't have that many clothes anymore is all I got to say.The binding is cut on the bias to set off the stripe. It is all seamed though obviously needs to be pressed.

When negotiating agreements in business or trying to resolve disputes you will frequently reach a point in the negotiation where you hit a wall. Progress grinds to a halt, neither side is willing to budge, your negotiations skills are ineffective and frustration mounts. You may doubt whether you will ever reach an agreement. What can you do to break the deadlock?
In many negotiations, most progress with your negotiations skills occurs in the final stages. Recognize that an impasse is common and does not mean that an agreement is beyond reach. Accept it as a normal part of negotiation that can and will be overcome. By applying the techniques discussed below, you can increase your chances of overcoming an impasse and reaching a mutually acceptable agreement.
- Focus on your interests, and help your counterpart focus on his. It is natural to lose sight of what is important and get distracted by minor issues in the heat of a negotiation. Refocusing on your interests and priorities can help you get the negotiation back on track.
- Look for new and creative ways to add value. Explore options that have been overlooked. As a negotiation proceeds you learn new information and gain new insights which may suggest other possible negotiations skills that had not been apparent earlier.
- Offer to grant a small concession, contingent on the other party making a concession in return. For example, "We would be willing to do X if you could do Y." A small movement can provide momentum and lead to further progress.
- Focus your negotiations skills on smaller or easier items on your agenda. As you reach agreement on some minor points you build momentum that can carry you forward and make it easier to agree on larger issues.
- Change the dynamics of the negotiation. A change in players and personalities can jumpstart a stalled negotiation. You might also change the physical environment. Different surroundings can change the atmosphere and put you back on track to a successful agreement.
- Call a time out. Review your strategy and your use of your negotiations skills with other members of your team. Give yourself time for your emotions to cool down. Taking a break to relax and clear your head can work wonders.
- Agree to impose a fixed period of silence. This is not the same as taking a time out, where people go out of the room and forget about the issues. Everyone stays in the room, without saying a word for five or ten minutes. During this time all kinds of thoughts creep into our minds, causing both sides to moderate their expectations. This strategy is especially useful for husbands and wives trying to resolve a disagreement, as well as others who have a close personal relationship with the other party.
- Impose a deadline. In many negotiations most of the progress is made in the final stages, as the deadline approaches. Deliberately adding time pressure may be just the negotiations skills needed to get things moving again.
- Ask your counterpart for his agreement. Sometimes it is just as simple as asking. If he says yes, great! If he says no, ask why not? Listen carefully to his answer, address his concerns, and set forth the remaining steps needed to conclude an agreement.
- Bring in an impartial third party. A good mediator can recognize communication bottlenecks and help the parties overcome them. A third party can also help both sides to see things from other perspectives and bridge the gulf created by a lack of trust. Even after a lawsuit has been filed a mediator can help the parties reach an agreement in the majority of cases.
- Be prepared to walk away from a business negotiation. Sometimes the best deal is no deal at all, and your negotiation skills can get both sides to realize this. Other times, your counterpart will call you back with a better offer. Just be sure you are not bluffing when you threaten to walk away, and that you have someplace to walk away to. In any event, end the negotiation on good terms - you may find yourself dealing with this person or organization again in future.
An impasse may be discouraging, but it need not be the end of the line. Be persistent and you can put the negotiation back on track.

- @marnalunt
- @handmaidstitch <— oh come on, I had to include myself! I count myself in the 22 resources though, so I think that's fair.
I could go on here, but you catch my drift. You can really draw some wonderful bits of inspiration from these feeds. Sure, it could intimidate you, too. But we've kicked fear to the curb, right?
I will say that it was this kit by Sublime Stitching (the Dia de los Muertos option, to be exact) that taught me how to embroider a little over a month ago. Can I just tell people that I was taught by Jenny Hart? You think she'd mind?
Here's another bonus, I am in the middle (literally at 53% on my Kindle) of reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, who I now know is my spirit animal. Big Magic a MUST read for any creative, any human really, so everyone should read it. Ahem, my favorite quote thus far:
A creative life is an amplified life. It's a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner – continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you – is a fine art, in and of itself.
If you won't get the book, will you at least listen to the podcast? Magic Lessons, have tissue with you because you will realize the beauty in all.the.things. And you know what? You're part of all those things. Me too.
Do you have any crafty or embroidery resources to share? I would LOVE to peruse!
Tomorrow, I hope to have an update on my latest work in progress. The boys have been under the weather so tending and caring for them has put a halt in my stitching. As it should be! xo

I am so honored to be with you each day sharing hope. The outreach has grown at a tremendous pace. There are over 50 new subscribers a day. The site just past 107,500 in followers. That's because people are searching for hope and we provide it.
We started a new promotion. The person who is our 110,000 followers will win some great prizes. As you can see it goes fast. Don't miss out.
Doug Bolton, the founder of Signs of Hope, is writing a new book, "Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life." It reaches out the military and veterans who may be battling anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, rejections, PTSD, and many other usual suspects. There are 22 military connected suicides every day. That is almost one every hour. We need to help stop those statistics. Be looking for more updates about the new book.
* Update!! Went to a writer's conference this last week, and met with several agents. Three of them wanted me to send a proposal for my book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of life. One agent seems to be pretty excited about it. You will know as soon as I do!
Well, yesterday was quite a phenomenon. The eclipse went right over the top of us here in Salem, Oregon. As the darkness began to come it made me think of when Jesus took His last breath and the sky went black. That was the very first eclipse created by God.
We live on a Cul de Sac, and all the neighbors gathered and watched the show together. The darker it got, as the moon came across the sun, the more interesting things started happening.
There first thing we noticed was how the air got cooler and cooler. It ended up being over 90 degrees for the day, but the temperature went down by several degrees quickly during the eclipse.
Another thing we saw was that the city street lights went on. They only come on when it is dark enough. The outside lights for the houses all around us went on.
One of our neighbors has some chickens. The roosters began "crowing their song," like they usually do when the dawn is coming.
The birds were really confused.
We could see some stars is the sky.
All this made me feel so little in this world. God created the sun, moon, and the stars. I felt like I was just a pebble of sand at the beach.
We all are a speck, in a speck, in a speck, in a speck.
Now that I made you feel so insignificant, think on these things:
Moses was a murderer, and wondered why God would use him. Abraham was too old to have children.
In both of those lives God used these unimportant men to change the world. Moses went on to lead the Israelites out of bondage. Abraham had his first son, when he was close to 100 years old. God told him to be fruitful and multiply.
What about us??
God created each of us in His own image. We are His greatest creations. He cares for us and gives each of us purpose.
Yes, even you. You have a purpose that God is waiting for you to fulfill. He has plans for you. He wants the best for you, because you are His child. As a father I can completely understand that.
Seek what God has in mind for you. Follow His paths He has laid out for you.
You are not a tiny speck in life. God created you just one level below the angels of heaven. You are worthy. You are important!
You are never alone.
You are never forsaken.
You are never unloved.
And above all…never, ever, give up!

Reformation History Reading: D'Aubigne's Classic, Volume 1
For the 2017 Challies Reading Challenge, and especially appropriate for this the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation, I have read the first volume (out of five) of J.H. Merle D'Aubigne's "History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century." Available free in the public domain, Librivox recording has recently completed a full audio recording of the first volume; the complete work is also available in PDF format, 1137 pages plus footnotes.
The reading is straightforward and clear, and a good selection for audio listening. Though of great length and detail, the material is interesting as it tells the story of the early years of the 16th century, especially with reference to Martin Luther and his life, but also including the major players in Luther's life. Chapters introduce and provide details concerning Melancthon and Erasmus, as well as lesser known figures such as Reuchlin, Spalatin, and Staupitz. (Here the PDF version is helpful, for spelling so many German names.) D'Aubigne's narrative combines his own commentary on the important events, along with many personal letters of Luther and his friends, and interesting anecdotes, to provide a detailed picture of what was going on in early 16th century Germany. The focus is mainly on Luther, but we also see the many influences on his life, the friends placed in his life at various points, and the rising support from the leaders, students and the common people of Germany. The section on Tetzel, the itinerant indulgences merchant, provides rich details and humorous accounts, such as "the trick of a nobleman," who obtained an indulgence for a future crime to be committed:
A Saxon nobleman, who had heard Tetzel at Leipsic, was much displeased by his falsehoods. Approaching the monk, he asked him if he had the power of pardoning sins that men have an intention of committing. "Most assuredly," replied Tetzel, "I have received full powers from his holiness for that purpose." — "Well, then," answered the knight, "I am desirous of taking a slight revenge on one of my enemies, without endangering his life. I will give you ten crowns if you will give me a letter of indulgence that shall fully justify me." Tetzel made some objections; they came however to an arrangement by the aid of thirty crowns. The monk quitted Leipsic shortly after. The nobleman and his attendants lay in wait for him in a wood between Juterbock and Treblin; they fell upon him, gave him a slight beating, and took away the well-stored indulgence-chest the inquisitor was carrying with him. Tetzel made a violent outcry, and carried his complaint before the courts. But the nobleman showed the letter which Tetzel had signed himself, and which exempted him beforehand from every penalty. Duke George, whom this action had at first exceedingly exasperated, no sooner read the document than he ordered the accused to be acquitted.
Volume 1 book 4 deals with the events shortly after October 31, 1517, through the friendly session at Heidelberg in the spring of 1518 and the beginning persecution in Augsburg that fall. This section shows Luther's desire to remain loyal to Roman Catholicism and the Pope –even writing a respectful letter to the Pope, thinking that the Pope would agree with him—yet, in the face of unexpected opposition, his courage and boldness. The Roman Catholic leaders expected a simple case of a humble Augustine friar who would quickly recant, and soon became impatient, seeing an unexpected quality in Luther.
A sample from Luther's letters, shortly after the theses were nailed to the church door in Wittenberg:
They require moderation in me, and they trample it under foot in the judgment they pass on me!……We can always see the mote in our brother's eye, and we overlook the beam in our own……Truth will not gain more by my moderation, than it will lose by my rashness. I desire to know what errors you and your theologians have found in my theses? Who does not know that a man rarely puts forth any new idea without having some appearance of pride, and without being accused of exciting quarrels? If humility herself should undertake something new, her opponents would accuse her of pride! Why were Christ and all the martyrs put to death? Because they seemed to be proud contemners of the wisdom of the time, and because they advanced novelties, without having first humbly taken counsel of the oracles of the ancient opinions." –late 1517. From Volume 1 Book 3 Chapter 6.
Volume 1 is a great beginning to this History of the Reformation. Since Librivox has now completed volume 1, I hope that they will soon add volume 2 and beyond. Either way, I plan to read Volume 2 by next year, possibly in next year's reading challenge.
Reformed Baptists, Charles Spurgeon, and Israel
A recent article, What is a Reformed Baptist, makes some good points as to the defining characteristics of Reformed Baptists, as distinguished from Reformed non-Baptists on the one hand, and non-Reformed (Calvinist) Baptists on the other hand. Five distinctives are noted: the regulative principle of worship, Baptist Covenant theology, Calvinism, the Law of God, and Confessionalism. Overall, I agree with it and find it a helpful article.
Yet one point (under the second heading of Covenant Theology) provides an example of modern-day overreaction against one error (traditional dispensationalism), to the point that would negate the actual beliefs of at least some (pre-20th century) 1689 Baptists. From the article:
According to the New Testament, the Old Testament promise to "you and your seed" was ultimately made to Christ, the true seed (Gal 3:16). Abraham's physical children were a type of Christ, but Christ Himself is the reality. The physical descendants were included in the old covenant, not because they are all children of the promise, but because God was preserving the line of promise, until Christ, the true seed, came. Now that Christ has come, there is no longer any reason to preserve a physical line. Rather, only those who believe in Jesus are sons of Abraham, true Israelites, members of the new covenant, and the church of the Lord Jesus (Gal 3:7). …
Baptists today who adhere to dispensationalism believe that the physical offspring of Abraham are the rightful recipients of the promises of God to Abraham's seed. But they have departed from their historic Baptist roots and from the hermeneutical vision of the organic unity of the Bible cast by their forefathers. Baptist theologian James Leo Garret correctly notes that dispensationalism is an "incursion" into Baptist theology, which only emerged in the last one hundred fifty years or so.
Dispensationalism is indeed an "incursion" (introduced in the mid-19th century, as even its early teachers acknowledged) but that is a different issue from the question regarding any future purpose for physical, national Israel. As I've noted a few times in previous posts, the doctrine of a future restoration of ethnic, national Israel to their land, to have a significant role as a nation during the future millennial era, is not limited to dispensationalism, nor a distinctive unique to dispensationalism. The 19th century covenantal premillennialists, who predated dispensationalism (certainly before it was well-known and had gained popularity), taught the same idea which today is often dismissed out of hand (as being dispensationalism) – as for example, Andrew Bonar's remarks in the introduction to his 1846 Commentary on Leviticus.
True, some of the covenantal premillennialists were from the paedo-Baptist form of covenant theology – notably, Horatius and Andrew Bonar, and J.C. Ryle. But what about Charles Spurgeon, a well-known Baptist who affirmed and taught the 1689 London Baptist Confession at his church? Several of his sermons specifically addressed the future state of Israel, and his sermon introductions (on prophetic texts that pertain to Israel's future) included such comments – his brief exposition of the primary meaning of the text, before taking up his own textual-style approach in a different direction regarding the words of a text.
Regarding the specific view of "Abraham's seed" and its meaning, a search through the Spurgeon sermon archives (at Spurgeon Gems) brings forth several sermons where Spurgeon addressed this. Consider the following selection of sermons:
The following are a few excerpts which explain Spurgeon's view of Abraham's seed – a "both/and" view that includes believers in our age as well as a future group of literal Israel.
From #1369:
Now, our Lord Jesus has come to proclaim a period of jubilee to the true seed of Israel. The seed of Abraham now are not the seed according to the law, but those who are born after the promise. There are privileges reserved for Israel after the flesh, which they will yet receive in the day when they shall acknowledge Christ to be the Messiah, but every great blessing which was promised to Abraham's seed after the flesh is now virtually promised to Israel after the Spirit, to those who by faith are the children of believing Abraham.
From #1962:
More than that, the Lord kept His friendship to Abraham by favoring his posterity. That is what our first text tells us. The Lord styled Israel, even rebellious Israel "The seed of Abraham My friend." You know how David sought out the seed of Jonathan, and did them good for Jonathan's sake, even so does the Lord love believers who are the seed of believing Abraham, and He still seeks out the children of Abraham His friend to do them good. In the latter days He shall save the literal Israel; the natural branches of the olive, which for a while have been broken off, shall be grafted in again. God has not forgotten His friendship to their father Abraham, and therefore He will return in love to Abraham's seed, and again be their God.
Thus, a 1689 confessional, baptist covenant theology view does not necessitate a removal of one group (ethnic Israel). Nothing here requires an "either/or" approach that removes and precludes a national future for Israel, as demonstrated in the "both/and" approach taken by Spurgeon (and other covenantal premillennialists).
The Reformed Confessions: Balance and Structure
Following up from the last post, some more thoughts concerning the use of confessions in understanding Christian doctrine. As I mentioned last time, it is actually the person learning individual doctrines apart from the confessions (which are a type of systematic theology, doctrinal summary) who is more likely to become proud, full of head knowledge, and to have an imbalanced view concerning Christianity. For the confessions provide a balance and a structure, considering all the doctrines and the proper view of them.
One example of this is the doctrine of predestination, which is addressed in the third chapter of the 1689 Baptist Confession. The Credo Covenant blog provides a good daily devotional study, a new post every day in the series "A Little Time with the 1689." Each day's post provides a look at a phrase or sentence from the 1689 Confession, in sequence through each chapter. Recent posts addressed the end of the third chapter, on the doctrine of predestination. Here the confession even has a response, from hundreds of years ago, to the common modern-day problem of "cage stage Calvinism." So many today learn the Doctrines of Grace (aka the Five Points of Calvinism), outside of its original context (Old Calvinism; the Reformed Confessions and Catechisms) – and thus this one doctrine, learned by itself without proper perspective regarding other doctrines, often leads to pride and arrogance. Yet the confession itself, in chapter 3 paragraph 7 well summarizes how we should handle the teaching of predestination:
The doctrine of the high mystery of predestination is to be handled with special prudence and care, that men attending the will of God revealed in His Word, and yielding obedience thereunto, may, from the certainty of their effectual vocation, be assured of their eternal election; so shall this doctrine afford matter of praise, reverence, and admiration of God, and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation to all that sincerely obey the gospel.
Other examples of this include the understanding of different measures/levels of faith, and the balance between man as a fallen sinner and yet made in the image of God. Without the confessions as a framework, too much emphasis may be given to the teaching that we are such wicked, depraved sinners (LBCF chapter 6) – while completely ignoring that we are also made in the image of God (LBCF chapter 4), and what it means to be image bearers of God. Another common imbalance, often seen in "Sovereign Grace" New Calvinist churches, is to over-emphasize the sovereignty of God to the point of hyper-Calvinism and a passive approach to the Christian life, which thus reasons that since faith is all from God, everything comes from God, then "how can there be any difference between believers, such that some have 'little faith' and others have 'great faith'?" Again, the confessions – which themselves affirm the highest priority to scripture (chapter 1), and provide the detailed summary of what scripture teaches – provide in summary form the details of saving faith. From the 1689 Baptist Confession, these excerpts from chapter 14 on saving faith:
The grace of faith… is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word; by which also, and by the administration of baptism and the Lord's supper, prayer, and other means appointed of God, it is increased and strengthened.
14.3 — This faith, although it be different in degrees, and may be weak or strong, yet it is in the least degree of it different in the kind or nature of it, as is all other saving grace, from the faith and common grace of temporary believers; and therefore, though it may be many times assailed and weakened, yet it gets the victory, growing up in many to the attainment of a full assurance through Christ, who is both the author and finisher of our faith.

So, with the structure, balance and depth of the confessions as excellent summaries of Christian truth, we can heartily agree with and appreciate Charles Spurgeon, including what he wrote in his "Morning and Evening" devotional regarding faith (the March 7 entry):
The best servants of God are those who have the most faith. Little faith will save a man, but little faith can not do great things for God. Little faith is powerless to fight against the Evil One. Only a faithful Christian can do that. Little faith is enough to get to heaven most certainly, but it often has to travel the road in fear. It says to itself, "Oh, it is such a rough road, filled with sharp thorns and full of dangers; I am afraid to go on." But Great faith remembers the promise, "Your shoes will be like iron and brass; and your strength will be with you all of your days," and so she boldly pushes forward.
Do you want to be happy? Do you want to enjoy your relationship with Christ? Then "have faith in God." If you don't mind living in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith; but if you love the sunshine and want to sing songs of rejoicing, then earnestly desire to have "great faith."
