Norma Normans Non Normata, the latin phrase meaning: The Norm of norms which cannot be normed. Al Mohler recently used this latin phrase to remind us of the reformers’ belief that God’s word norms us, and not vice versa. I believe that in our Post Modern world & way of thinking, we’ve forgotten that it is the Bible that norms what we think, and not our culture. I want to use this site as a resevoir where I might store the ideas that run through my mind about various topics. If you stumble across this site, feel free to comment and offer any wisdom that God has given you.
Just heard the a presentation where he used this quotation:

Mohler attributed this quote to Luther at his talk at the Together for the Gospel Conference 2016.
This post is from 10 years ago, but in his podcast Thinking in Public from December 2016, Albert Mohler used the phrase again. I think this is in a small way a testament to the stability of the idea.
Thank-you for the post.
