The Orthodox Catechism: Q1

Quest. 1. What is thy only comfort in life and death?
Answ. That both in Soul and Body, whether I live or dye, I am not mine own, but belong wholly unto my most faithful Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: who by his most precious Blood fully satisfying for all my Sins, hath delivered me from all the power of the Devil, and so preserveth me, that without the will of my Heavenly Father not so much as an Hair may fall from my Head; yea, all things must serve for my safety: wherefore by his Spirit, also he assures me of everlasting Life, and maketh me ready and prepared, that henceforth I may live to him.
1 Cor. 6:19; 1 Thess. 5:10; Rom. 14:8; 1 Cor. 3.23; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; 1 Joh. 1:7; 2:2; 1 Joh. 3:8; Heb 2:14-15; Joh. 6:39; Mat. 10:30. Luk. 21:18; Rom. 8:28; 2 Cor. 1:21; 5:5. Ephes 1:13-14; Rom. 8:24:25

Popery in a New Dress: The Baxterian Controversy

“I cannot see but that the Doctrine some Men strive to promote, is but little better than Popery in a new Dress.”[1] In Benjamin Keach’s sermon titled The Marrow of True Justification, Keach is concerned about Christians who err on this important doctrine.  Keach was staunchly opposed to the teaching that sincere obedience (or works) plus faith equates justification. He thought that this teaching was reverting to Roman Catholicism—popery in a new dress. If my word count is correct, Keach references “Mr. Baxter” 6 times in this sermon. In this podcast episode, we examine what has come to be called the Baxterian controversy.

Dismantling Dispensationalism with Dewey Dovel Pt.2

Dismantling Dispensationalism with Dewey Dovel Pt.1

A Church Planting Conversation with Creston Thomas

Creston grew up with a family that loved the person of Christ but he was hostile towards the gospel at a young age after seeing professing believers living in willful sin. While attending a church function, he came to the knowledge that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but the Lord’s mercies overflowed by graciously calling him from death to life around the age of 14. After this supernatural work, the Lord has continuously grown him in the knowledge of the Sustainer of the universe. He became a member at Wheeler Chapel Missionary Baptist Church and New St. Hurricane Missionary Baptist Church. 
By Creston growing up most of his life on the Westside of Pine Bluff, he was able to see the brokenness and hurt in his marginalized community. The memories of the brokenness seen in Pine Bluff created a heart to see Christ exalted in dark spaces. This heart led him to share the love of Christ with refugee families from Burundi, Nepal, Tanzania, and Burma in Memphis, TN, and Fort Worth, TX. While being transplanted to Kentucky for seminary, he was involved with various ministries at the Kentucky State Prison, Louisville Rescue Mission, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Creston graduated from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity in Biblical and Theological Studies. While at Southern, he became a member at the Reformed Baptist Church of Louisville. His interests include studying Biblical languages, Patristics, Reformation history, and Apologetics. Prior to attending Southern, he obtained an undergraduate degree at the Herff College of Engineering at the University of Memphis. He is bi-vocational as a leader at Christ the Redeemer.
