   Number 1: From the Archives: Natural Law

   As we listen to another episode from the archives, we'll explore the concept of natural law – a topic with deep roots in Christian and non-Christian traditions. When this first of 3 episodes aired several years ago, Drs. Marcus Mininger, J. Mark Beach, Alan Strange, and Andrew Comp-ton discussed how natural law relates to God's moral law, its role in civil society, and its relationship to special revelation. Drawing from Reformed thinkers like John Calvin and key biblical passages like Romans 1 and 2, they'll examine how natural law functions in Christian and non-Christian contexts while considering important questions about its use and limitations in our contemporary world.

If the revelatory gifts have ceased, how do we respond to fellow believers who claim to have them or have experienced speaking in tongues and miraculous signs- If Cessationism is true, how do we, as those who hold to Reformed convictions, not come across as if we're somehow diminishing the work of the Spirit today-
