These Last Days

Recently WTS brought out some of their big guns and conducted a weekend seminar of biblical instruction, addressing key questions about the Last Days, the purpose of God for Israel, the books of Daniel and Revelation, and more.  

These lessons provide informed, scriptural teaching as a welcome counterbalance what is sure to be a falsely prophetic movie.

Loving the Lord

I love this message.  WTS's 2014 commencement speaker Henri Blocher who was granted an honorary doctorate from Westminster, Souderton, PA, May 29, 2014.  By the way, the red hood signifies ThD, blue PhD.  I think some of the faculty are starting to bear uncanny resemblances to Machen, Murray, and VanTil....must be the doctrine.

Why Read 500 Year Old Books?

From Hughes Oliphant Old's Worship:  Reformed According to Scripture (p. 4):

"One often asks why today we should study the Reformers.  We study the Reformers for the same reason the Reformers studied the church fathers.  They are witnesses to the authority of Scripture.  The Reformers studied the patristic commentaries on Scripture because they enriched their own understanding of Scripture.  Today we study the Reformers because they throw so much light on the pages of the Bible.  They were passionately concerned to worship God truly, and they searched the Scriptures to learn how.  We study the Reformers because their understanding of Scripture is so profound."

What Motivates Our Obedience?

From G. Vos - Biblical Theology (p. 32):

"To do the good and reject the evil from a reasoned insight into their respective matters is a noble thing, but it is a still nobler thing to do so out of regard for the nature of God, and the noblest thing of all is the ethical strength, which, when required, will act from personal attachment to God, without for the moment enquiring into these more abstruse reasons.  The pure delight in obedience adds to the ethical value of a choice."
