The Best Free Source To Learn The Basics of Calvinism/Reformed Theology

R.C. Sproul is one of the best reformed instructors of our generation. He is known for his many teaching series, which comes out of Ligonier Ministries, where he takes deep, difficult doctrines and makes them understandable for the average person in the pew who has never been to Bible college or seminary. The link below is one of his most popular teaching series entitled "What Is Reformed Theology?" It is broken up into 12 segments, each one around 25 minutes. If you watch these, I am certain you will have a solid grasp of Reformed Theology and a greater appreciation for it.

    I'm fairly sure I have a book by R. C. Sproul around the house somewhere even though I'm not a Calvinist (I'm Catholic).

    I discovered your blog at the Science Fiction and Fantasy blog tour and decided to become a follower.

    If you are interested, I've also given you the Versatile Blogger award and hope it gets you some more readers for your blog. Read about it at: http://linalamont.blogspot.com/2012/02/lina-lamont-gets-fourth-blogging-award.html

William Gouge's Domestical Duties: Quotes and Comments

 I hope to begin a post here that I periodically update, of quotations from William Gouge's Of Domestical Duties. I am going to quote from this version primarily: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/gouge/Domestical%20Duties%20-%20William%20Gouge.pdf  The book has been said to have been as popular as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Matthew Henry's commentaries in its heyday. Gouge was one of the chief members of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, which gave us the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. In short, the substance of what Gouge wrote was held by most all the Westminster Divines/Puritans on home and family life, regarding marriage, children, duties of husband to wife, wife to husband, children to parents, parents to children, and also servants and masters to one another.  Here is an extended quotation of Gouge that I will start with, and add to later. Enjoy.  "The third reason taken from an husband's resemblance unto Christ herein, ...

Why Pastors Shouldn't Preach In Jeans (Especially Skinny Jeans)

By: Thomas F. Booher I can't think of a better way to get labeled a legalist than to title a post like this. Hopefully by the end you will not see this as legalism and will see this as what it is- my attempt at describing what I believe is proper ecclesiology as defined by God in Scripture. So then, what is church? What does Scripture say we should be doing and not doing on Sunday mornings? That's what I want to explore. The Bible says to gather together in Christ's name; to teach, encourage, and admonish one another; to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Heb. 10:24-25; Mat. 18:20; Col. 3:16). There are to be deacons (Acts 6:1-6) and elders (Ti. 1:5) in the church who act as overseers, and in the case of elders, are the shepherds of the flock who teach the word and rebuke with authority (Ti. 1:9).  God must call one to be a pastor/elder (Eph. 4:11). As such those who are called by God to preach the word are held to a ...

Declaration on Race, Natural Affection, the Local Church, and Related Matters

 * THE FOLLOWING DECLARATION REPRESENTS THE VIEWS OF THE SESSION OF HERITAGE REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (HRPC) ONLY, AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT THE FULL VIEWS OF THE COVENANT REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH DENOMINATION, OR ANY OTHER DENOMINATION OR BODY OF CHURCHES, THOUGH IT IS THE DESIRE OF HRPC THAT THIS DECLARATION WOULD BE HELPFUL TO AND EVEN ADOPTED BY OTHER CHURCHES, PRESBYTERIES, AND DENOMINATIONS. HRPC IS ALSO GLAD TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON OUR DECLARATION TO FURTHER IMPROVE AND REFINE IT.  Declaration on Race, Natural Affection, the Local Church, and Related Matters In 2005, the Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church (CRPC) unanimously adopted Distinctives summarizing what sets her apart from other Presbyterian bodies. Under “Civil Magistrates,” the CRPC affirms: “We further acknowledge that God’s work at the Tower of Babel and His gathering of men into distinct tribes, nations, cultures, races, and language groups has its divine purpose in hindering the growth...
