Our Pasts Don’t Have to Matter
from R. Fowler White Sep 29, 2010 Category: Articles
During our election cycles in the U.S., we see a lot of headlines and hear a lot of talk about the past of candidates for public office. We wrestle with and quarrel about the question, Does their past matter? Usually, it matters when we think their past is a predictor of what they’ll do in the future. So, we say, sometimes their past matters; sometimes it doesn’t. Often when I see these headlines, I can’t help but think of officeholders in the Bible. Whether in the nation of Israel or in the church, I ask, Did their pasts matter? There is one officeholder in particular who gets my attention. See if you can guess his name as I rehearse his past.

Jesus and His Apostles: Teaching in Harmony
from R. Fowler White Aug 21, 2010 Category: Ligonier Academy
Have you ever gotten the impression that the teaching of the apostles is at odds with the teaching of Jesus? Sometimes it may seem that way, especially when we see Jesus emphasizing certain things that the apostles don’t, and vice versa. Though we may be confident that, in the end, their teaching is harmonious, we do get special enjoyment when we see examples of doctrinal harmony between Jesus and His apostles. I had just such an experience recently as I was listening to Dr. Sproul preach on Matthew 23 and Jesus’ lament over the spiritual state of Jerusalem. I couldn’t help but be struck by the thought that Jesus’ brief words in Matthew 23:37-39 anticipated the apostle Paul’s fuller teaching about Israel in Romans 9-11. Keep Reading -
