  • Artemis Idol Makers Protest - Part 2
    The idolaters in Ephesus reacted to Paul's claim that "gods made with hands are no gods at all." The uproar was caused by the fear of loss of revenue by those who made silver shrines for Artemis. Idolatry has always been lucrative and the threat to revenue was real. We discuss the fact that in church history, similar idolatry has developed by various versions of Christianity. Paul was restrained by his friends from going into the place of the uproar. Paul was later warned about Jerusalem, but did go there. The difference is seen in the larger picture of similar tumults in Philippi, Thessalonica, Corinth, and now Ephesus. Jerusalem is a key place in Luke-Acts and Paul's later presence there as seen in Acts 21 will lead to a series of appearances before various authorities which will end with Paul imprisoned in Rome. This is stated as Christ's commission in Acts 1:8. The gospel will go forth as Christ commanded. Matthew 28:18-19 was brought up in the class discussion. That passage has been used to justify dominion theology and other confusions based on the concept that "nations" are to be discipled. I claim that Jesus did not command His followers to Christianize geo-political entities, but to preach the gospel throughout the world. Nations with boundaries have existed since the table of nations in Genesis 10 and 11. The idea of taking over nations in the name of Christ is a perversion of the Great Commission and a false definition of the church. The self-perpetuating institutional church results in the type of idolatry and false religion common among the pagans.

  • 1689 Confession, ch. 30, The Lord's Supper, para. 2-8
    1689 CONFESSION, CH. 30, "OF THE LORD'S SUPPER," PARA. 2 — 8 SUMMARY (WALDRON): A close inspection of the [chapter] will indicate that there is a repeated movement from the positive to the negative. It is the Roman Catholic perversions of the Lord's Supper which almost at every point require the writers of the Confession to move from a positive statement of biblical truth to a negative rebuttal of Catholic perversion. Without ascribing any magical significance to it, the Lord's Supper is yet so important a part of the Christian religion that there can be few things more essential to understand than the Lord's Supper. In spite of this, many Christians do not understand it thoroughly enough. I. ITS INSTITUTION (PARA. 1). A. Original Circumstances; B. Prescribed Observation; C. Multiple Purposes: (1) the confirmation of our faith; (2) the nourishment of our spirituality; (3) the increase of our commitment; (4) the strengthening of our communion. II. ITS NATURE (para. 2). A. Described. B. Applied. III. CELEBRATION (para. 3-4). A. Its proper celebration (para. 3). B. Its perverse celebration (para. 4). IV. ITS ELEMENTS (para. 5-6). A. The true doctrine defined (para. 5). B. The false doctrine refuted (para. 6). V. ITS RECEPTION (para. 7-8). A. The benefits of worthy reception (para. 7) 1. Its means. 2. Its nature. 3. Its basis. B. The liabilities of unworthy reception (para. 8) 1. By the openly unconverted. 2. By the apparently converted.

  • Political Theology: Church & State 3- Christian Politics Are Good & Conservative
    The lesson distinguishes between the redemptive kingdom of the church and the common kingdom of civil government, asserting that each has distinct roles ordained by God. It argues that while Christians should pursue just politics to protect neighbors and uphold natural law, they must not expect the state to advance the gospel or destroy false religions. The speaker strongly condemns modern progressivism as fundamentally anti-Christian and evil, contrasting it with genuine conservatism rooted in biblical principles. Emphasizing the separation of spiritual and physical swords, the text clarifies that the church's mission is evangelism, while the state's duty is justice and order. Ultimately, believers are called to engage politically with moral clarity, rejecting false neutrality and supporting policies that align with God's design for society.

  • The Christian's Principal And Motive in Voting - 1855
    Our government is not,—it is true,— a Christian government, because Christ's kingdom is not of this world,—but it is a government created by Christian men,—framed in accordance with Christian principles,—founded upon and presupposing Christian institutions as existing in the land—and looking to the influence and power of Christian principles for its growth, stability and permanency. Our government never would have been conceived—devised—determined — instituted — and triumphantly established but for Christianity, and it cannot outlast the subversion or practical neglect of Christianity and its institutions a single day. The wisdom to devise good laws, the allegiance that will support, uphold and obey them—and the power necessary to administer and enforce them—can only flow from that religion which founds government upon the ordinance of God and demands obedience on the ground of conscientious obligation. The exercise of your prerogative, therefore, in voting at elections is an important duty.
