2010 West Coast Conference - Session 8 - R.C. Sproul
from Alex Chediak Mar 27, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. R.C. Sproul ended the conference with a message called Back to Basics. What are the Basics? Dr. Sproul read from Romans 1:1-7. Paul calls himself a slave and notes that he is called for a particular task, that of proclaiming the "gospel of God". The construction "of" is possessive -- Paul has been set apart for a gospel that is God's gospel. It is His gospel, and He will judge us by how we handle His gospel. Keep Reading -
2010 West Coast Conference - Session 7 - Michael Horton
from Alex Chediak Mar 27, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Michael Horton gave a second message this afternoon, this time on the topic of Moralistic and Therapeutic Deism. Dr. Horton began with retelling a story of how a mainline theologian who visited a seeker-sensitive church on Easter Sunday heard not the gospel but how his scars can become stepping stones for his success. This man was clearly not evangelized – on Easter Sunday, at a large, prominent, evangelical church. Keep Reading -
2010 West Coast Conference - Session 6 - Q&A Horton, Jones, Sproul
from Alex Chediak Mar 27, 2010 Category: Events
I came to embrace the doctrines of grace, but my spouse remains an Arminian. Should I keep my mouth shut, or am I responsible to help my spouse come to see what I have seen? SPROUL: We are all by nature Arminians. We think that we can bring ourselves to saving faith. So, be patient with friends and family. Don't give up the doctrine, but be gracious. Keep Reading -
2010 West Coast Conference - Session 5 - Peter Jones
from Alex Chediak Mar 27, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Peter Jones is the director of truthXchange, a ministry devoted to equipping the church to combat the rising tide of neopaganism in Western culture. He is also scholar in residence and adjunct professor of practical theology at Westminster Seminary California, and he has also taught at several other seminaries and colleges. Dr. Jones is the author of several books including The Gnostic Empire Strikes Back, Spirit Wars, and Stolen Identity: The Conspiracy to Reinvent Jesus. Dr. Jones addressed us on the topic of A Gnostic Gospel. Gnostacism is both an ancient heresy that the church faced and defeated, but it is also associated with the revival of a new paganism that seeks the obselesence of Christianity. Yet paganism has always been fought both within and without the church. It is not uncommon that what happens in the church is a reflection of what is happening in the church at large. Keep Reading -
2010 West Coast Conference - Session 4 - R.C. Sproul
from Alex Chediak Mar 26, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Sproul's message was entitled Good Advice or Good News? -- and in particular, Dr. Sproul's message dealt with the relationship between law and gospel. The text of Dr. Sproul's message was Mark 10:17-22. This rich young man of which we hear came to Jesus like a man on a mission -- seeking to receive an answer from Jesus as quickly and directly as possible. Yet he received quite a different answer than that of the one the Phillipean jailor received (Acts 16:30-31). Keep Reading -
2010 West Coast Conference - Session 3 - Q&A Horton, MacArthur, Sproul
from Alex Chediak Mar 26, 2010 Category: Events
The Q&A session was moderated by Dr. R.C. Sproul with Dr. Horton and Dr. MacArthur serving as the participants. With regard the assurance of salvation – Calvin said that all struggle. You, John, suggested that a lack of assurance might be related to a lack of looking forward to heaven. MACARTHUR: Yes, all doubt. But Peter was saying that the testing of faith generates assurance, because then you know that your faith is real. Tested faith grows stronger and strengthens assurance. Keep Reading
