Ministry for Mere Catholics – Terry Johnson

Introduction

1. Popular Models
2. Problems
3. Paul (the Apostle) (II Timothy 3:14; 4:2; I Timothy 2:1,2; 4:13)

I. Catholocity Matters

1. It matters what happens in “all the churches” (I Cor. 1:3; 4:7; 11:16; 14:33; 14:40)
2. It is expected that “tradition” will be honored (I Cor. 11:2; II Thess 2:15; 3:6)
3. It is required that continuity with catholic practice be maintained

II. Communion of the Saints Matters

1. Church consists of a diverse communion of saints (Gal 3:28)
2. Catholic ministry targets the community, not a subculture w/in the community

III. Conclusion

1. Worship in close conformity with the catholic and Reformed traditions
2. Worship in close consultation with the best Reformed churches today
3. Embrace the church’s own ecclesiastical culture

Audios for these seminars and worship services will follow.

Ordinary Means of Grace – Ligon Duncan

A ministerial fraternal for the promotion of church health and growth by the ordinary means of grace

These are briefs from the lesson.

I. A Ministerial Fraternal

Very few places afforded to ministers that focus on ministering to those who minister

II. The Promotion of Church Health

Gentlemen, though the odds look overwhelming …. be encouraged to say, “Let’s Do It!”

III. The Ordinary Means of Grace

Basic/Ordinary Means of Grace teaches we minister in a way which the Scriptures teach.

***

Dr. Ferguson sums of John Owen’s philosophy as such and we have been encouraged by Dr. Ligon Duncan is:

Our purpose in ministry was to make those who are not in union with Christ to know that they are not in union with Christ and to make those in union with Christ to know that they are in union with Christ

One Week Away

Slowly, leaks about this year’s gathering are seeping out. Here are several. I believe the source is a reliable one.

 

See y’all in about a week.

Pray for Martin Downes’ Daughter

Pray for Martin Downes’ Daughter Kezia

Our dear brother in Christ, Martin Downes, has requested pray for his 9 year old daughter Kezia who was just diagnosed as having a brain tumor. Martin wrote:

“Yesterday our youngest daughter Kezia (9) went for an MRI scan.  The doctors discovered a large brain tumor, which is pressing on the pituitary gland.  Kezia is currently in hospital in Wrexham and will be transferred today to Alder Hey children’s hospital in Liverpool where the neurosurgeons will assess her and operate.”

Please lift Kezia up in prayer to the great Physician. Pray also for Martin and his wife and they go through this trial with their beloved daughter. (ht: Nick Batzig)

Martin spoke in 2010 at the Twin Lakes Fellowship on Heresy Never Dies.

You can find him posting on his site or on Facebook. His recent post here states this:

Kezia is home for the weekend. She’s looking forward to putting up the decorations tomorrow. Back in on Monday morning for more tests before her operation on Thursday. She’s got one of the best, if not the best surgeon for her type of tumour in the UK. (Friday, November 26)

AND

This seems like the quickest if not the best way to get this news out. Our youngest daughter Kezia had an MRI today. She has a brain tumour 4cm x 2cm x 2cm. She’s in Wrexham hospital tonight and will be transferred to Alder Hey at 7am (Wednesday, November 24).
