The Reformed Ember Lounge

Ex Fumo Lux

Welcome to The Reformed Ember Lounge, a digital haven that exists to fan the smoldering embers of confessional Reformed doctrine back into full flame through Christ-centered clarity, rich theology, slow reflection, and spirited yet respectful dialogue.

Reformed Ember: An ember may seem faint and fragile, but it holds the promise of flame. Though covered in ash and hidden from sight, the fire endures — not by human strength, but by the quiet persistence of life within it.

So too, even when it seems that the Reformed faith has faded, the truth of God’s Word is never extinguished. Christ preserves His Church. His truth still glows beneath the ashes of compromise and neglect, waiting for His Spirit to breathe upon it and raise it again into full flame.

Ex Fumo Lux: Out of Smoke, Light — ties it all together. It’s a nod to the cigar smoke, of course, but also to the heated discussions where, by God’s grace, doctrinal clarity emerges.

Every good lounge needs a few house rules, so here are mine:

• Let Your Thoughts Smolder, Not Ignite.

• Carry Your Bible Closer Than Your Cutter.

• Puff Slowly, Speak Wisely.

• Convictions Must Burn Hotter Than Egos.

• Respect the Ash, Revere the Word.

Hours: Any time you want to stop by. First stogie is on me.
