I would like to see a video on any of the following: 1) Bible Commentaries, 2) Study Bibles, 3) How you came to make the change over to the Presbyterian Church and why you specifically chose OPC among the Presbyterian Denominations available in the United States. Blessings brother.

    Dane, Reformed Baptist here, hailing from Minnesota. This video is excellent.
    I've had my nose in the Puritans for about 15 years. I think most anything by Watson, Brooks, Boston, and Sibbs are very accessible and good to start with.
    Personally, my absolute favorite is Owen. I know he's not the easiest to read, but I think nearly everything in the first 7 volumes of his works is some of the most glorious things that pen has but to paper. I think his best work is The Person of Christ. I have read it multiple times and will return to it many more times.

    William Perkins The Arte of Prophesying is found in volume 10 not in volume 9. William Perkins (1558-1602) who is considered the father of Puritanism, as W. Robert Godfrey stated is the first Puritan you should read before anything else. A large collection of his readable works are now reprinted in 10 volumes and bound by Reformation Heritage Books. Perkins is a must read to get a proper understanding of the Puritans, everything good that the later Puritans wrote can be echoed and traced back to Perkins.

      I praise God my videos have been of some help to you. Yes, I had the same experience. The next best are the authors of the 1800's that imbibed the same spirit as the puritans. Many of the southern Presbyterians, Thornwell, Dabney, Plummer, Palmer, Peck, and the Northern ones, the Alexanders (all three), Hodge, Ichabod Spencer, Gardiner Spring. Also other men like Andrew Fuller, Newton, Edward Griffin, Ryle, Bonar, M'Cheyne and many others. Outside of Lloyd Jones I don't find many things of value in the 1900's or modernity.

    The thing I commend the puritans is their deep love for scripture and their devotional works some of which I own. But I disagree with them in some doctrinal areas. I don't believe in Reformed Theology, since it is a hybrid system that is part Protestant and part Roman Catholic. I was saved out of Roman Catholicism and I see some Roman Catholic doctrines within Reformed Theology. The truth is the Puritans composed some very good books but they did not fully break away from Rome. Dispensational theology is the completion of the protestant reformation because generations later would consistently interpret scripture literally and not selectively.

      Agree! From Roman Catholicism as well. Concerning, in particular, Calvin, if people were aware of his background, they would be running fast and far. It's like jumping from one frying pan (Roman Catholicism), into another (Calvinism and its ilk)... the same thing, just another shade.

    If you had a complete set by a Puritan, which one would help a pastor the most. I’ve heard manton 22 volume, J C Ryle 13 volume. What’s your recommendation for biggest bang for the buck for preaching, expository, applications and so on.

    • @DaneKristjan
      @DaneKristjan  3 роки тому +2

      I'd have to say Manton for sure. He was above all else a preacher, so he preached on many many passages. Along with the scripture index in volume 22 it's the preacher's best friend!

      Ryle would not be considered a Puritan FYI. He was an Anglican bishop who lived in the mid to late 1800's, though he certainly was a great lover of the puritans and imbibed their spirit in his own writings.

    Perseverance of the Saints is one reformed doctrine that I have always struggled with. It really just doesn’t make sense to me. Can you help to explain why even if I reject Christ it’s impossible for me to lose salvation?

    • @DaneKristjan
      @DaneKristjan  4 роки тому +8

      Good question! You are confusing some of the more extreme forms of the "once saved always saved" doctrine with the reformed doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. The perseverance of the saints teaches that believers will always believe, though at times very imperfectly. If a person professes Christ and then one day turns to atheism or another religion and dies in that state, then they were never saved in the first place. John says the false christians "went out from them" because "they were not of them." They were never really believers. True believers persevere in the faith by God's grace. The work of salvation begun in them by Jesus christ is completed by Jesus Christ (phil.1:6).
