Wednesday, October 24, 2012. How Has God Revealed Himself? We introduced our topic and gave a brief historical account of the Westminster Standards. In Part 2 we will begin to explore how the Westminster Standards answer the question "How has God revealed himself? Westminster Confession of Faith 1.1a reads:. Larger Catechism 2a reads:. Q 2a How doth it appear that there is a God? A The very light of nature in man, and the works of God, declare plainly that there is a God. It appears that the Westminster ...

Wednesday, February 20, 2013. But by Some Voluntary Condescension. This week we began a new Sunday School series at Neon Reformed Presbyterian Church. For the next few weeks we will be studying Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) Chapter 7 "Of God's Covenant with Man." WCF 7.1 reads,. Essentially what is being taught in this section is God's relationship to man in terms of obligations. Man is obligated to God by nature. Our obligation to glorify God is established by nature. Creatures owe their Creator...

Light and Heat: Pentecost in Four Geographical Stages
http://jybnntt.blogspot.com/2016/02/pentecost-in-four-geographical-stages.html
Saturday, February 20, 2016. Pentecost in Four Geographical Stages. Lately I've been studying Luke and Acts. In Acts 1:3-5 the risen Jesus teaches his disciples about two things: (1) the kingdom of God and (2) the coming baptism of the Holy Spirit. Then we read in Acts 1:6, "So when they had come together, they asked him, 'Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? How do they fit? Are they somehow related to the geographical advance of the kingdom? Could Caesarea represent Judea? Interes...

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. The Rule and Norm of Every Doctrine. While [pagan philosophy] proceeded, on the subject of the soul, as far in the direction of supposed implications as the thinker pleased, we are not entitled to such license, namely, of affirming whatever we please. For we make Sacred Scripture the rule and the norm of every doctrine. The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition (100-600). P 50, emphasis added). Tags: Of the Holy Scripture. The Protestant Heresy is retroactive! Of the Holy Scripture.

Light and Heat: How Has God Revealed Himself? (Part 4)
http://jybnntt.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-has-god-revealed-himself-part-4.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2013. How Has God Revealed Himself? We looked at the teaching of the Westminster Standards on the supernatural revelation of God (1) broadly considered and (2) narrowly considered in the doctrine of Holy Scripture. Today we will take a look at the doctrine of the canon as it is presented in WCF 1.2-3, LC 3, and SC 2. Q 3 What is the Word of God? A The holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the Word of God, the only rule of faith and obedience. The word "canon" means rule...

Light and Heat: The Ten Commandments: God's DNA
http://jybnntt.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-ten-commandments-gods-dna.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. The Ten Commandments: God's DNA. This Sunday we began a new morning series at Neon Reformed Presbyterian Church. Entitled The Ten Commandments: God's DNA. Having spent the Spring in Paul's letter to the Galatians, which emphasizes the moral law's pedagogical use (i.e. its use with respect to our justification), I thought it would serve us well to examine the law with a particular focus on its didactic use (i.e. its use with respect to our sanctification). Because God is the L ORD.

Light and Heat: Is Church Membership Important? (Part 3)
http://jybnntt.blogspot.com/2012/05/is-church-membership-important-part-3.html
Thursday, May 17, 2012. Is Church Membership Important? But couldn't a person just attend the church's worship services and get the same benefits without actually becoming a member? Is official membership really necessary? One could indeed receive the benefit of the Word preached for a time. Without becoming a member. I say for a time. Westminster Larger Catechism Q/A. 162. Notice that it says a sacrament is an ordinance "instituted by Christ in his church. For the benefit of " those. When Jesus institut...

Monday, May 14, 2012. Is Church Membership Important? We defined the church as the assembly set apart by God to be his treasured possession ( Deut. 7:6. We also learned that the Bible speaks of the church in two different senses. Sometimes it refers to the whole company of the elect. This is what we call the invisible. Church. Other times it refers to those throughout the world who profess the true religion and their children. This is what we call the visible. 8221; ( WCF 25.2. They are defining characte...
