Jonathan Edwards

How to Know the Holy Spirit is at Work — Part 4

December 7, 2020 by Allen Nelson IV

In 1741 Jonathan Edwards preached his sermon, The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, from 1 John 4 for the commencement ceremony at Yale. We’ve seen four of these distinguishing marks so far: esteeming Jesus, opposing Satan, loving Scripture, and embracing truth. In this blog post, we look at the final […]

In 1741 Jonathan Edwards preached his sermon, The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, from 1 John 4 for the commencement ceremony at Yale. Last time, we saw that one of these marks is esteeming Jesus. In this blog post we look at the second mark. Below are all Edwards’s words: […]

How to Know the Holy Spirit is at Work — Part 1

November 18, 2020 by Allen Nelson IV

In 1741 Jonathan Edwards preached his sermon, The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, from 1 John 4 for the commencement ceremony at Yale. This message was partly a defense of the genuineness of the Great Awakening. Edwards believed the biblical truth that the Holy Spirit could be experienced by the […]

Book Review — Human Nature from Calvin to Edwards

December 20, 2019 by Chuck Ivey

The Doctrine on Which the Church Stands or Falls takes its title from the Reformation era conviction that justification by faith is the dividing line between the biblical gospel and man-centered efforts to earn favor with God. Matthew Barrett serves as editor and co-author with several significant theologians. In the forward, D.A. Carson writes that nothing is more important than the subject of this massive volume (15). The book is organized into four parts, grouping the chapters by looking at justification according to what the Bible itself teaches, theological perspectives on the doctrine, church history, and pastoral practice.

The Religious Affections and Pastoral Ministry

May 27, 2019 by Allen Nelson IV

Recently, I had the opportunity to preach a message at a Jonathan Edwards conference on The Religous Affections. I’d like to share a few practical applications for pastors when it comes to religious affections. But first: What are Religious Affections? One of Edwards’ most famous works is his Treatise on the Religious Affections. In this book, […]

An Appeal to those Contemplating Suicide: There is a Redeemer

Despair. Failure. Depression. Loss. Guilt. Apathy. Pain. Anything you could possibly think of that makes you think this life isn’t worth living. At the very least, that makes you feel like it’s better off without you. I get it. I’ve been there. The trials we experience at times are tough. Super tough. We often feel […]

An Encouragment to Journal

The word “journaling” may conjure all sorts of emotions for you.

Maybe it makes you think of the stereotypical “secret diary.” Maybe it the […]

The Bible is Sufficient for Calling People to Jesus

We had a great bible study on a recent Wednesday night on Matthew 7:13-14. We’ve been going through the Sermon on the Mount and seeking to think deeply about how Jesus wanted His followers to understand Kingdom living. But this post isn’t about the Sermon on the Mount. It’s about one aspect of our study where […]

The Essence and Effects of Sin

Book Review — God Speed by Chad Bonham

There were two primary things I didn’t know about God Speed before it arrived by parcel. First, it doesn’t center around driver Sage Karam’s struggle following an accident that killed fellow driver Justin Wilson, though the story does occupy a couple of chapters. Much of that story can be found in a recent FCA article, also […]
