  • The Resurrection of Believers: Already and Not Yet

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on October 25, 2009

    Richard Gaffin, quoted by Rev. Kim Riddlebarger in A Case for Amillenialism: The unity of the resurrection of Christ and the resurrection of believers is such that the latter consists of two episodes in the experience of the individual believer—one which is already past, already realized [e.g. Col. 2:12: “having...

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on October 18, 2009

    “True saints have their minds, in the first place, inexpressibly pleased and delighted with the sweet ideas of the glorious and amiable nature of the things of God. And this is the spring of all their delights, and the cream of all their pleasures: it is the joy of their... [Read More]

  • "My kingdom is not of this world…"

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on October 18, 2009

    You may remember my recent post about the “Evening of Eschatology” at Bethlehem Baptist. Justin Taylor posted recently on What You Must Believe if You Are a Premillennialist, and included a lengthy chapter (really too long for a blog post) reprinted from a Sam Storms work-in-progress.

  • Chuck Smith on avoiding the reign of antichrist

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on September 14, 2009

    Maybe you don’t want to accept Jesus Christ and would rather go the hard way [i.e., through the seven-year tribulation]. You’ll have to find some means of surviving for seven years without depending on this corrupt society. This society will be totally taken over by the Antichrist. No one will... [Read More]

  • MacArthur on the Dangers of Innovation

    Posted on September 13, 2009

    Here is John MacArthur speaking about the use of Bible commentaries by (long) dead writers, from a message last winter called “The Consequences of Non-Expositional Preaching, Part 2”: In preparation for Mark, I think I've read about 30 commentators...

  • A sure sign that you are a spiritual prig

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on September 5, 2009

    Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow concerns of life are not ordained of God; they are as much of God as the profound. It is not your devotion to God that makes you refuse to be shallow, but your wish to impress other people with the fact... [Read More]
