Episode notes
Grace Saves Nature
- Grace saves nature from sin, not from being human.
- The problem isn't nature itself, but sin corrupting it.
Holiness in the Everyday
- The Reformers viewed holiness as lived out in everyday life, including family, work, and society.
- This contrasts with views that separate sacred and secular, like monasticism.
Structure and Direction
- Walter Strickland recalled Al Wolters's distinction between a thing's essence (structure) and its use (direction).
- Sin corrupts the direction, not the essence, of things like work.
