RSS Feeds: A long time coming

2010-03-05T12:35:07-05:00

I have been blogging for over five years now. And of course I read other blogs. But in a rather inefficient way. How so? I have never used RSS feeds. While the idea made sense, I didn't have / make time to sit-down and work through my Google Reader. So, I surfed rather inefficiently (in terms of time and in missing blogposts).

But on my recent trip to NYC, Brannon McAllister clued me into a great app for my iPhone: Byline. Byline syncs with my Google Reader and automatically downloads the articles to my iPhone so - just in case I don't have 3G or WiFi - I can read my articles.

And thus I have been brought a bit further into the digital age. I'm ashamed it took so long. But glad to finally be here.

The State of Theology

2010-03-03T22:21:45-05:00

Today is the last day you can order Mark Driscoll's new book on doctrine and get a .pdf / Resurgence t-shirt. Also recently Josh Harris, of I Kissed Dating Goodbye fame, published a book: Dug Down Deep. Both of these books are basic theologies that are marketed to persuade Christians that theology is important / cool. It's vital. Not optional. Worthy goals and from what I understand excellent books.

But what does this say about the state of the church? What does this say about the level of theology found in our local churches? To me it screams rather loudly that we are in serious trouble.

Perhaps no other generation has such a lack of knowledge of the Scriptures. About who God is, what he says to us in his word, and how that ought to affect how we live. The worst part of the current situation is that we got here by apathy.

How many of us (second generation plus Christians) have had a similar experience? We grew-up in churches that were weak on doctrine. No. Not necessarily weak on teaching the Scriptures. But in a focus on discipleship and teaching sound, orthodox theology.

There are Christians by the scores, having finally been gripped by the truth of who Christ is, who are now searching. We know the vocabulary of Christianity, but are clueless on the definitions. Of those who are searching, some want to know the "why."

But many, now feeling a need for more, reach for an emotional experience. Or find themselves embracing heresies fought long ago - and won - because they don't know any better. Though their impulses may be good. Many are trying to reinvent the wheel. And, as Derek Thomas has put it, coming up with something not quite round.

So, books like Driscoll's and Harris's are helpful. Whatever you might think of their social or personal applications, their theology is orthodox. And they rightly understand the need to reintroduce a whole generation to meat and not milk.

Yet this is not enough. Churches need to recognize the changing demographic. Most of the current church leadership grew-up in a time where adversity forged a deeper understanding. And often there is a disconnect between what is assumed Christians know and what in reality they understand.

A major cause of this deterioration in understanding traces back to a departure from catechisms. Children ought to learn doctrine, deep doctrine, early on. And catechisms are the best way to do it. New members classes should similarly teach catechisms.

Further, formal discipleship is largely lacking. Just because one has been converted and a member of umpteen other congregations doesn't mean one knows sound doctrine. Consequently, ongoing discipleship classes ought systematically to teach doctrine.

As Michael Barrett says: Right thinking produces right living. Why are so many Christians not living right? They don't know better. That is partially their (my) fault. And partially pastoral leadership's fault.

I am thankful for the work of people like Mark Driscoll and Josh Harris. But I hope Christians in general and pastors in particular will wake-up to the current condition of the church. And do something about it.

I'm preaching to myself here. And so I know of what I speak. Oh that we might have zeal to know God. And that we might have the discipline to expect more of our Christian experience.

The 17:18 Series - Make Yourself A Copy of the Law

2010-02-14T15:01:29-05:00

Deuteronomy 17:18 says:

Now it shall come about when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.

Rob Wynalda has developed a series of books called Journibles in which one writes his/her own copy of the Scriptures. The idea is to practice what Deut. 17:18 preaches and in so doing to know the Word more intimately.

As one advertisement notes: "Thirty-four hundred years later [than the book of Deut], educators are "discovering" that students that physically write out their notes by hand have a much greater retention rate than simply hearing or visually reading information. Apparently, God knew this to be true of the kings of Israel also. From such understanding came the conception of this series of books."

The books are well made and a great way to start making for yourself a copy of the "law." As far as I know, the only seller is Reformation Heritage Books. Jennifer and I have ordered the Journible for the Gospel of John.

How about you?

Koine Greek Self-Study

2010-01-26T08:21:20-05:00

I own at least seven translations of the Scriptures and almost as many study Bibles. They are very helpful resources. And yet, I want to learn the original languages.

Now, I'm not implying translations are bad. Many are well done and accurate.

Yet if you've studied any language besides your own, you know something is always lost in a translation. Further, theological positions affect how a translator renders certain phrases.

Thus, I have decided to learn Greek and Hebrew. Not to become a scholar. But so I can more clearly understand what God is saying in his Scriptures.

I chose to start with Greek since Bill Mounce, in my opinion, has made it infinitely easier to learn than Hebrew. But I am probably most excited about Hebrew (for which I will probably resort to a formal online class). The carrot of getting to Hebrew will, I hope, incentivize me to finish Greek.

I plan to do one chapter a week from Mounce's book and so finish what amounts to the first year of Greek by October 2010. Now, I'm guessing sundry obstacles will present themselves. So, while I'm shooting to be done in October, my drop-dead date is the middle of December.

Here are the resources I'm using (any further suggestions are very welcomed):

Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar & Workbook (Second Edition) by Bill Mounce

Zondervan Greek Vocabulary Cards (Keyed to BBG)

Basics of Biblical Greek Vocabulary CD (Pronunciation by Bill Mounce)

Mounce's 33 Lectures on his Book (available through his website: Teknia.com)

Biblical Greek Laminated Sheet (Zondervan Get an A! Study Guides)

Shorter Lexicon of the Greek New Testament by Gingrich and Danker

The UBS Greek New Testament: A Reader's Edition (UBS4)

And so my pilgrimage begins.

***Update***

I've progressed through the first five chapters of BBG and am now in the "fog." I am learning about declensions, the nominative / accusative cases, and the definite article in Chapter Six.

Finding John Owen

2010-01-23T16:20:33-05:00

I first heard of the John Owen when I was in school at Bob Jones University. For Christmas in 2001, my soon to be grandparents-in-law bought me his magnum opus: Biblical Theology. However, the language was difficult and after plowing through for a while I gave-up.

Recently, I have rediscovered Owen's work chiefly through his book The Mortification of Sin. And so a great interest in the man and his theology has been revived. Consequently, I have put together a reading list to help me in my exploration. If you have any additions to the list below or comments, please let me know!

Biographies / Introductions

John Owen: Reformed Catholic, Renaissance Man by Carl R. Trueman

John Owen: The Man and His Theology by Sinclair Furguson, Carl R. Trueman, etc.

John Owen on the Christian Life by Sinclair B. Ferguson

John Owen: Prince of Puritans by Andrew Thomson

Communion with God: The Divine and the Human in John Owen by Kelly Kapic

Theology of John Owen by Derek Thomas (Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary Course Lectures)

Sets of Works

The works of John Owen come in at least three separate sets. The first is the The Works of John Owen (16 Vol. Set). Volume 6, which contains Owen's Mortification of Sin, is probably a good place to start a study of Owen together with his sermons (Volumes 8-9), according to Derek Thomas.

Owen's Exposition of Hebrews (7 Vol. Set) is one of the best and contains many excellent introductory essays.

Biblical Theology: The History of Theology from Adam to Christ is, according to Owen himself, his magnum opus. It was the last to be translated into English and it is published by an arm of Reformation Heritage Books: Soli Deo Gloria.

Is Sunday really the Sabbath?

2010-01-14T20:02:36-05:00

Is Sunday the Christian Sabbath? In other words, is the fourth commandment still in effect? If so, how ought we to observe it?

Some brief thoughts...

Is the Sabbath still in effect?

I believe the Sabbath is still in effect. The establishment of the Sabbath comes from Creation - together with work and marriage. We (conservative Christians) frequently appeal to the fact that marriage is part of God's creative order to combat the idea of gay marriage. Quite.

Similarly, we appeal to work as part of the world before Adam's fall in order to censure the excessive expansion of the welfare state. "You don't work, you don't eat," we say. Just so.

So why do we work so hard to explain why we don't have to observe the Sabbath day? God blessed one day of rest out of seven; God promised seven days worth of work out of six if we would honor him in this way. We are told to make it "holy." To separate the day especially to the Lord.

Today, at least in America, we live in excessive luxury. We don't work the hours an agrarian society or early industrialization required. Yet God has promised his blessing in response to a commandment. Thus, we ought to observe the Sabbath.

True, the day has changed. But this ought not to be surprising. In O. Palmer Robertson's excellent book, The Christ of the Covenants, we are reminded that whilst in the Old Testament the Sabbath was the last day of week, symbolizing our looking forward to the eventual day of spiritual rest, now with Christ's first advent and his resurrection, we observe the Sabbath on the first day of the week to symbolize how Christ has given a rest upon which we can confidently look forward to what God's providence brings.

I've often heard that the fourth commandment is not explicitly confirmed in the New Testament, though the other nine are (I disagree, but...). I see this as confirmation that it is still in effect not as evidence it has been eradicated. If all the others were carried over, why not the fourth?

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. The only laws that did not carry forward were shadows of what was to come in the New Covenant. What is the Sabbath a shadow of? As part of the creative order, I believe it to be self-evident that this commandment persists.

The Lord himself did indeed challenge some of the legalistic rules applied to the Sabbath by the Pharisees. But he did not come to abolish the law and Christ does not challenge the validity of observing the Sabbath. Just the manner of observance. Consequently, I argue the Sabbath is confirmed in the NT.

How must we observe the Sabbath?

While I am very confident that Sunday is the Christian Sabbath, I am much less confident about how it should be observed. Clearly, worship and rest are to be paramount. Unlike other days, we are to give ourselves and our families to a special seeking of God (most but not exclusively manifest in attending corporate worship). Rest is also to be highlighted. Thus, I believe a Christian should not work on Sunday.

Sunday ought to be kept different from other days in terms of the activities we do. Certainly, I would not engage in any activity that would interfere with attending corporate worship services. As a day set aside especially for the pursuit of God, it also follows that activities should not in any way dishonor the Lord (this should be true at all times, but the special focus argues for refraining from activities that are otherwise appropriate to especially set the day apart for the Lord).

Personally, I think it makes the most sense to devote the day to only engaging in prayer, Bible study, works of charity, and public and private worship. We could all spend more time seeking after God and devoting His day to such pursuits seems ideal.

Clearly, there are great differences in opinion on this. And these are still rough ideas.

So, what do you think? Is Sunday the Sabbath? If it is or even if it isn't, how should we separate the day from the other six?

A Few 2010 Resolutions

2010-01-01T01:00:00-05:00

The one thing we know about projections, forecasts and the like is that our conception of the future will certainly be wrong. Life is uncertain. And so many things may conspire to thwart our goals. Our resolutions.

Nevertheless, custom requires during this season that we set resolutions for the New Year. Consequently, here are a few goals, which if missed I will at least be the better for the trying:

Read the Scriptures through in Chronological order;
Pay-off all of my debt (to be debt free);
Write at least one blog post a week;
Listen to at least three iTunes University courses; &
Learn Greek (defined as completing Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek textbook, workbook, lectures and vocabulary memorization).

Whatever the measurable outcomes which may or may not be achieved, I pray that 2010 will be to the Glory of God Alone.

Three Short Book Reviews

2009-11-25T10:02:49-05:00

For the first time since I began this blog, the number of visitors in one day reached zero. To try and restore a few of the faithful, please find my first post in a month. I hope it is helpful:

The Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life by John Calvin

John Calvin is one of those people that many reference, but few have actually read. While I have owned the Institutes for some time, I confess to never having read them (I hope to do so in 2010). However, I ran across The Golden Booklet earlier this year and discovered it is actually straight out of the Institutes.

The book does not reference or defend what is commonly called Calvinism. Instead, it is a pastoral booklet that deals with holiness and the necessity of a religion of the heart. Frankly, it was one of the best devotional books I've ever read. And it was a great introduction to this famous theologian.

Redemption Applied and Accomplished by John Murray

John Murray was a systematic theologian at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. His book Redemption Applied and Accomplished falls into the category of very influential works of which I had never heard. It is, however, one of the most succinct and clearly written explanations of the Gospel.

The book is divided into two sections: Redemption Applied and Redemption Accomplished. The first half discusses the necessity, nature, perfection and extent of redemption. The second half explores each part of the ordo solutis. I strongly recommend the book to any Christian and found it to be, together with Michael Barrett's Complete In Him, the most helpful in teaching what I have to be thankful for regarding Christ's finished work on the cross.

The Christ of the Covenants by O. Palmer Robertson

What is the message of the Bible? How does the Bible fit together? These are basic questions of interpretation. There are two main schools of interpretation: dispensational and covenant theology. I have been well versed in dispensationalism, but frankly I could never get a clear overview of covenant theology.

Christ of the Covenants was the first book I've read that understandably explains how to interpret the Bible using covenants. Essentially, from the Garden of Eden onward, God has dealt with his people through successive covenants which build upon one another towards the realization of God's plan of redemption in the Lord Jesus Christ. Covenant theology emphasizes unity in the Scriptures while dispensational theology tends to emphasize its divisions. Regardless of you background, this is a great book to read. It will make you think.

Finished

2009-09-10T08:51:00-04:00

Yesterday, I finished reading the whole Bible. It took me two months. I primarily used the ESV on CD (44 discs for the OT and 14 discs for the NT) narrated by Stephen Johnston.

Reading through the Scriptures in such a short time was amazing. You see themes more clearly and the intricate connections found throughout. At times I was very frustrated not to be able to take more time with a particular verse or passage. But that just reinforced the need to have a detailed Bible study running in parallel.

So, I've just launched a study of Galatians with Luther and Ryken. And I'm starting the Bible through again. Beginning with Moses.

The Short List

2009-09-09T15:15:00-04:00

A great friend of mine often joked with me that he had more books than he could ever read on his short list. Just so with me. So, I've redefined what a short list is: a short list is a list of the books that I am currently reading; not what I hope to read soon.

The books we read greatly influence how we act and certainly what and how we think. So, by way of recommendation, warning and passing interest, here is my list:

The Christ of the Covenants by O. Palmer Robertson. A great introduction to Covenant Theology.

The Valley of Vision edited by Arthur Bennett. A collection of Puritan prayers and devotions.

Biblical Theology by Geerhardus Vos. A classic on the message and structure of the Scriptures.

Redemption Applied and Accomplished by John Murray. A short, encouraging book on the Gospel.

Mortification of Sin by John Owen. One of the great Puritans explains a much forgotten doctrine.

The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination: A Book Review

2009-09-08T08:30:58-04:00

The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination is the most thorough and straightforward explanation and defense of the Doctrines of Grace that I know of. Loraine Boettner graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1929. And his book has long intrigued me, though at 440 pages and small print it was daunting.

But during my wife's absence this summer I was able to make my way through this enlightening book. It is well worth your time and effort.

The book is comprised of six sections, including a general statement of doctrine, answers to common objections, and the history of what has now become known as Calvinism.

The detailed explanations of the five points of Calvinism are persuasive. The plain reason employed from a plethora of Scripture references was powerfully persuasive. And while proof-texting often leads to problems, Boettner handles the Scriptures with integrity.

Perhaps the most helpful portion of the book is the section where Boettner refutes common objections to Calvinism. For example, he deals with such topics as the notion that Calvinism is fatalism; that it makes God the author of sin; it violates man's free will; it precludes the sincere offer of the Gospel; and that it contradicts the universalistic passages in Scripture.

Boettner also includes much needed answers to the questions of "why does this doctrine matter" and "what should be my response?"

The book concludes with a chapter on the history of Calvinism. Of course, Calvinism did not originate with Calvin. And Boettner traces the doctrine pre- and post- Calvin. Unfortunately, the book strays from its previous objectivity. Every branch of Christianity - Baptists, Presbyterians, etc. - strongly believes it is the branch to which the Apostles held; yet attributing all that is good in America / the world to the Presbyterians is tough to swallow (I exaggerate slightly, but only slightly).

In sum, whether you are a Calvinist or a confirmed Arminian, you need to read this book. It will force you to think. And it will wake you up to the reality of the Great God of Wonders and his marvelous grace.

Sola Gratia, Solus Christus

2009-09-07T14:37:08-04:00

God hates sin. The human race is full of sin; we are born sinful. Thus, a horrible feeling of oppression pervades the soul. The more we learn about God the more we discover our evil.

As we read the Scripture, God convicts us of sin. We become frustrated with our persistent failing to do right. We try hard. But we cannot earn favor with God.

How can we then be saved from judgment? God sends his Holy Spirit to convince us of the good news that Christ died for our sins. God gives us the twin gifts of faith and repentance so we can believe in Christ's work.

But how do we live in Christ? The Scriptures teach that believers are to become like Christ. We are also to be less like the sinful, godless system around and in us.

The moral law (summarized in the 10 Commandments) shows us who God is and what we are to become. The law was given as a shepherd. A guide to lead us to God. The law shows us that we cannot live well enough to earn favor with God.

For the Scripture says we must live perfectly. If we are guilty of even one part (e.g. don't lie), we are guilty of all (i.e. adultery, murder, etc). So we must depend on the only person to ever live a perfect life: The God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Once we are saved we must become like Christ. And while at times we do well, at other times we fail. The Scriptures teach that we will struggle with sin. But we see progress. Yet the more we learn about God the further away from his perfection we find ourselves.

In his letter to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul wrote to new converts who, being saved by Grace through faith in Christ, were trying to earn favor with God by keeping the law.

Paul's response: how can you, being saved by Grace, work to be perfected by the law? If the law cannot save you, the law cannot perfect you. If we are saved by Christ's finished work, we must live / be perfected through Christ.

Yes, we transgress God's law. But Christ has already paid the penalty for those sins. And it is through Christ alone that we are being changed. We cannot add to his work of salvation and we cannot add to his perfecting work.

Is the law then worthless? God forbid. Knowing what God has done and what he is doing should create great love for him and his law (a reflection of his nature).

As we read his law, the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin. We must then turn from it. But we can only do so by God's grace. Through the energizing power of the Holy Spirit; God living in us. Thus, when we are convicted, we ought to ask God for forgiveness and ask him to do the work he has promised to do: to make us like him.

In other words, we are not right before God because we kept his law. We keep his law because we are already right with God, through faith in Christ.

The Book of Galatians has revolutionized my life in Christ. Or rather it has reacquainted me with the reality of my life in Christ. We must not forget that the Gospel is not only a message of salvation, but also a message of life through grace in Christ. We have a great need to preach the Gospel to ourselves daily.

Virtual Seminary

2009-08-03T21:31:43-04:00

I have always wanted to go to seminary. For whatever reasons I have never been able (so far) to do so. Yet I've found a really close approximation: seminary lectures on iTunes and/or the web.

iTunes has a section called iTunes U where colleges put lectures of their classes. Some do so for paying students so they can earn credit. But many schools also post entire classes for free.

Presently, I have downloaded, Theological Foundations (RTS), Biblical Theology (CTS), Church History (CTS), Systematic Theology I-III (RTS), etc. Elementary Greek and Hebrew are also available.

And so I have constructed a study plan for myself: begin with Theological Foundations, then take Biblical Theology. Next I plan to take Church History. And finally to listen to Systematic Theology.

I just finished Theological Foundations (RTS/Derek Thomas) and it was marvelous. I read Boettner's The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination as a companion resource and it was life changing.

Education doesn't end upon graduation. And now it is possible to learn for free from some of the best. What about you? When are you going to start?

The Church: Stop Dating & Get Serious

2009-07-26T19:36:28-04:00

I've recently wondered why the many para-church ministries (Ligonier, Desiring God, etc.) seem to be growing, yet the local church, not so much. Maybe it just doesn't seem cool.

Despite the abundance of sermons / podcasts available, the Scriptures command us to attend a local church. But if I am a regular attender, why should I become a member? And if I am a member, what should I be doing?

I just read two short books that answer these critical questions: Stop Dating the Church by Joshua Harris and What is a Healthy Church Member? by Thabiti M. Anyabwile. Everyone should take time to read them.

Stop Dating the Church by Joshua Harris

Joshua Harris himself struggled with commitment. But by God's grace he saw the importance of the local church. He is now the senior pastor at Covenant Life Church in Maryland. His book Stop Dating the Church makes the case for church membership.

So why the Church at all? Perhaps most importantly is that the church is Christ's chosen vehicle to carry the good news of the Gospel to the world. The book of Acts gives a clear picture of this. Further, the New Testament speaks of Christ's great love for the church (the big C, global church). Clearly we should love what Christ loves.

But Harris also argues that our membership in the universal church requires membership in a local church. He quotes Spurgeon:

"What is a brick made for? To help build a house. It is of no use for that brick to tell you that it is just as good of a brick while it is kicking about on the ground as it would be in the house. It is a good-for-nothing brick."

We are living stones cut for the purpose of building God's church. And that finds its manifestation in the local church.

Harris brings out another great point: the local church is a model to unbelievers about how the Christian faith is the foundation for a new society. And it is in the local church alone where certain uniquely Christian practices are exemplified: Baptism, The Lord's Supper and Discipline.

These ordinances and practices can only be properly exercised through a local church. And the last two, in many churches, certainly the last (Discipline), only makes sense if we are members.

So, have you committed yourself to a local church?

What is a Healthy Church Member by Thabiti Anyabwile

Thabiti Anyabwile's book is part of Mark Dever's IX Marks series. If Josh's book is about why you should join a local church, Thabiti's book is about what you should do after becoming a member.

First, here are his nine marks (plus one to grow on): a healthy church member is an expositional listener, a biblical theologian, gospel saturated, genuinely converted, a biblical evangelist, a committed member, seeks discipline, a growing disciple, a humble follower, and a prayer warrior.

Some marks that I found especially interesting...

Expositional preaching is a mark of a good pastor, but just as important is the church member's devotion to expositional listening. Anyabwile defines expositional listening as looking "primarily for the voice and message of God as revealed in his Word."

Anyabwile also emphasizes the need for us to be biblical theologians. He says believers need to understand the unity and overarching message of the Word of God. How simply can you explain what God's Word says to us?

I also found his emphasis on evangelism provoking. Michael Andrus, as quoted by Anyabwile, gives the following evangelistic principles:

(1) Counsel seekers to focus on deeds and a change of life; (2) a serious view of sin and guilt; (3) make clear this is God's wisdom, not man's; and (4) abandon the language of decisionism (just believe) and embrace more rigorous language of conversion (surrender to the Lordship of Christ).

The language of the Gospel we use is frequently simplistic and man focused. Highlighting the serious, costly and divine nature of salvation is a much needed reminder.

Finally, we need the local church for accountability. The local church is God's instrument to teach and edify us. Edification frequently requires correction. And in some cases, Scripture requires discipline - up to and including expulsion from the church. All to return us to a right relationship with God.

Is your elder / pastor willing to correct you? Even to the point of public expulsion to ensure your spiritual growth? Are you willing to lovingly confront believers in your assembly?

Summary

I found these two short books very convicting. Since no church is perfect, it is tempting to avoid the commitment of membership. This attitude is amplified by the many resources available today (SermonAudio.com, iTunes U, etc.).

But it is God's design that we join ourselves to a local assembly and become active participants in the evangelism of the lost and the edification of the converted. Are you dating a church? Get married. And get serious.

John Calvin 500

2009-07-10T09:06:51-04:00

500 years ago today Jean Cauvin was born in Noyon, France. Though he is most famous for a system of theology named after him, Calvin was chiefly a preacher, preaching around 10 times every two weeks. His most famous written work is his Institutes of the Christian Religion, which he wrote very early after his conversion - more of a booklet then - and which he expanded throughout his life.

The beliefs of Calvin have been highly debated and they have been frequently maligned. But his emphases on God's grace, providence and sovereignty are truths we would do well to rediscover.

In celebration of this day, many websites have been set-up and many more conferences have / are taking place. For a few of them:

Calvin500.com
Desiring God Conference: Calvin in the Theater of God
Ligonier Ministries: Tabletalk Magazine and 2009 National Conference (and CD)

How has God used Calvin in your life? What are some of your favorite quotes?
