2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - Mark Dever (VI)
from Robert Rothwell Oct 13, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Mark Dever began our conference program on Wednesday with a lecture outlining the mandate for Christians not to avoid controversy if the gospel is at stake. This is what he had to say in his message “Here We Stand.” In July 1519, the famous Leipzig disputation between Johann Eck and Martin Luther was held in Germany. Luther had become convinced that the medieval church had been teaching some falsehoods in regards to the clarity of Scripture and other matters, and Eck took the counter position. After the debate, a written record of the exchange was sent to the theologians at the University of Paris, and they determined that Eck had won the debate. In response they also published ten theses: Keep Reading -

2010 Ligonier Regional Conference - Session 4 - R.C. Sproul Jr.
from Robert Rothwell Sep 18, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Sproul Jr. began his talk by noting how it has become a habit of his to remind the church of the character of the Devil and the nature of the war between the serpent and the people of God. The first place to start in looking at Satan’s methods and goals is Genesis 3:1, wherein we are told that “the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made.” Notice that the text doesn’t say that the serpent is the most powerful tempter but that he is crafty. His most potent weapon is his cunningness — that is what makes him so dangerous. Keep Reading -

Among American evangelicals, however, there is great concern about the foundations of our society, with lamentation over the erosion of Western culture and its biblical moorings. Keep Reading -
