Bible Ages
Some of the points covered in this sermon: • A review of the flawed Dispensational framework of history • A review of the correct Sovereign Grace framework of history • The key words used by Dispensationalists that need to be addressed—ages, covenants and institutions • The twofold division of history and how it coincides with the twofold division of the Bible • The difference between Dispensationalists and Hyper-calvinists, in the way they understand “responsibility” and “authority” • The structure of Hebrews 11:1-40 • The timeline of Hebrews 11:1-40 • Hebrews 11 doesn’t organize the dispensations according to events, but rather, according to individual life spans (Abel, Enoch, Noah, etc) • The meaning of the word “ages” and how it is used throughout the New Testament •…

Bible Dispensations
Some of the points covered in this sermon: • The carelessness of those who view history as “one large clump of events” • The traditional twofold and threefold divisions of history • The folly of those who arbitrarily divide history into major “dispensations” • The leading features of a Dispensationalist’s worldview • The scriptural meaning of “dispensation”and how the term is used in the New Testament • An explanation of Ephesians 1:3-12 (“the dispensation of the fulness of times”), which is the only text which links the term ‘dispensation’ with a framework of time • A repudiation of Dispensationalism—its proponents are unapproved of God, workmen that should be ashamed, wrongly dividing the Word of truth

Thoughts On High-Calvinism Versus Arminianism and Fullerism
The leading issue which distinguishes a High-Calvinist from the Arminians and Fullerites (Moderate-Calvinists) is the subject of God's sovereignty and man's relatedness to Him. Whereas the Fullerite embraces fairly high views of God's sovereignty, yet he remains as confused as the Arminian on the subject of man's relatedness to the Lord. Two Requirements For Having A Relationship With God There are two requirements if man is to have a relationship with God. First, man must be a spirit being. This gives man the ABILITY to have a relationship with God. God is a spirit, and if man is to know God, he must also be a spirit. This is what it means to be made in God's image. God created only two species of spirit…

Thoughts On Arminianism
Jerom Zanchius, in the first chapter of his book, “Absolute Predestination”, has helpfully outlined five leading features of God’s wisdom and foreknowledge. In summary, he wrote: First, God is, and always was so perfectly wise, that nothing ever did, or does, or can elude His knowledge. He knew, from all eternity, not only what He Himself intended to do, but also what He would incline and permit others to do. “Known unto God are all His works from eternity ” (Acts 15:18). Second, consequently, God knows nothing now, nor will know anything hereafter, which He did not know and foresee from everlasting, His foreknowledge being co-eternal with Himself, and extending to everything that is or shall be done (Heb. 4:13). All things, which comprises past,…

2 My Articles of Faith
Among the historical confessions of faith, I am most closely aligned with the 1644 First London Baptist Confession of Faith and the 1729 Goat Yard Declaration of Faith. However, I believe fresh statements of faith should be drawn up by every generation, and for that matter, by every individual believer in Christ. To that end, I have condensed the basis of my faith into seventy points. 1. I believe God has plenarily and verbally inspired the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. 2. I believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are without error. 3. I believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are preserved in the Hebrew Masoretic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus. 4. I believe the most…
