C. Matthew McMahon is a Reformed theologian and adjunct professor at Whitefield Theological Seminary. He is the founder of A Puritan's Mind, an internet hub and center for students of the Bible concerning Reformed Theology and Covenant Theology. (www.apuritansmind.com) He is also the founder of Puritan Publications which publishes Reformed and Puritan works from the 17th century.Anthony Burgess (1600-1663), was a zealous puritan divine, member of the Westminster Assembly, and a famed scholar in his day for the promotion of the Reformation. How hard is it to encourage the people of God toward biblical Reformation and actually see it occur? History demonstrates the intrusion of God into time to establish His redemptive purposes in and through men, and declare His person and glory through the work of Jesus Christ. However, there are two epochs in God's work which point to the greatest revolutions and revivals ever documented: the entrance of the Lord of Glory in the fullness of time in the little town of Bethlehem, and the era of the Reformation breaking out of a reign of eclipsing doctrinal darkness and superstition. Christ brought forth the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the Reformers rescued the Gospel from drowning in a sea of ecclesiastical expedience. But what about Reformation today? What should Christians think concerning revival today and reforming in power and glory? Is there room in the present day for further "reformation"? In the first part of the work, beginning with Lev. 26:23-24, McMahon demonstrates that Reformation ought not to be gradual, but immediate. Gospel truth dictates spiritual action and God requires his church to be reformed by him through the power of the transforming word of God. In the second part, Anthony Burgess teaches from Mark 1:2-3, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make thy paths straight." He shows that there are many difficulties to hurdle, but there are encouragements to doing this for the glory of God. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
