2011 Academy Conference - Session 6 - R.C. Sproul
from Robert Rothwell Jan 23, 2011 Category: Events
Dr. R.C. Sproul concluded our 2011 Ligonier Academy Conference with his message “Post Tenebras Lux.” What does this phrase mean and why is it important? Dr. Sproul explains thusly: Introduction I have appreciated the speakers that went before me today, and I particularly enjoyed Dr. Trueman’s emphasis on the doctrine of justification. Luther called it the doctrine upon which the church stands or falls. Calvin said it is the hinge on which everything turns. Keep Reading -
2011 Academy Conference - Session 5 - Carl Trueman
from Robert Rothwell Jan 23, 2011 Category: Events
On Saturday afternoon, Dr. Carl Trueman took the podium to explain the centrality of justification by faith alone. Here is what he had to say: Faith, as defined in classic Protestantism, is not what the wider culture today has in mind when it speaks of faith. I was speaking to someone recently who has a relative who goes to a rehabilitation group for help in recovering from an addiction. This person went to one of these meetings with her relative and, being a Christian, she wanted to talk about her faith in God But this was not allowed. The emphasis in the meeting was on faith, but just faith in general, not faith in a specific concept or person. This is evident throughout our society. Faith is seen as a virtue today, but generally people are not referring to faith in something. Instead, faith is seen a nebulous concept that all will turn out well or it is something that gets you through the day. For the Protestant Reformers, however, faith was something deeper.

2011 Academy Conference - Session 3 - Carl Trueman
from Keith Mathison Jan 22, 2011 Category: Events
Dr. Carl Trueman’s first message at this weekend’s Ligonier Academy Conference was titled “Truth.” Dr. Trueman indicated that since his training is in church history he would be approaching his subject from a historical perspective. Today the issue of Scripture’s truth is coming to the foreground again. There are two areas where a renewed scrutiny toward Scripture is being focused. The first concerns the referential truth of Scripture. Are the words of Scripture true? The second concerns the perspicuity of Scripture. Is Scripture clear? Keep Reading -
2011 Academy Conference - Session 2 - Stephen Nichols
from Greg Bailey Jan 22, 2011 Category: Events
Dr. Nichols opened by quoting from J. Gresham Machen’s inaugural address as an assistant professor at Princeton Theological Seminary on May 3, 1915, in which he declared, “The modern church is impatient of history.” Almost a century later, these words remain relevant, but the postmodern church is not only impatient of history, it isdisdainful of history. Our age believes new is better. However, we are a people with a past, and when the church marches on in ignorance of its history, it is in great peril. Keep Reading -
