For Thy Truth's Sake

Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted September 20, 2019 in Anniversary, Church History, For Thy Truth's Sake, Herman Hanko, PRC

First printed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Protestant Reformed Churches (PRC), For Thy Truth’s Sake is the most comprehensive doctrinal history of the PRC available today.

This book thoroughly covers the history of the PRC’s beginning, rooted in the rejection of common grace in 1924. It also lays out the denomination’s struggle to maintain the truth of the unconditional covenant through the schism of 1953.

The focus of For Thy Truth’s Sake is the doctrines of the Reformed faith which have been uniquely interwoven in the PRC’s history—particular grace and God’s unconditional covenant of grace. It also concentrates on doctrines developed by the PRC’s spiritual fathers and contemporary theologians of the PRC—the doctrines of scripture and the antithesis and a covenantal understanding of marriage, divorce, and remarriage.

How's your prayer life?

Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted September 13, 2019 in Herman Hanko, Prayer, When You Pray

How many Christians can confidently say that they have “mastered” the art of prayer? Probably no one.

What is blessedly refreshing about Professor Hanko’s work, When You Pray, is his admission that none of us is good at prayer—including himself—yet over the years of one’s life, the author assures us, a person can make progress in praying.

Professor Hanko shares with his readers homely yet highly meaningful lessons he learned from growing up in a covenant family and covenantal church community. He also tells the specific benefits of praying to the sovereign God of the universe, who knows our sins and weaknesses but loves us still. Valuable is the professor’s clear explanation of how God can be likened to the father of an earthly family, loving and caring for his own dear children.

An eye-opening and very helpful part of his book is the author’s pinpointing of misconceptions people have about God and prayer that bar them from praying in a God-honoring way.

If you have found your devotional life to be frequently barren, reading what the author has learned the hard way—over fifty years in the ministry—will not discourage you further, but will give you a renewed desire to fellowship with your Father in prayer.

A Covenant Home: What Is It Like?

Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted July 15, 2019 in Covenant, covenant home, Family, Herman Hanko, Standard Bearer

Some years ago, on a visit to the south, I found myself in front of a home, which had, hanging over the front door, a sign upon which were the words: "In This House Christ Is King." I found this intriguing and immediately thought of the firm statement of Joshua to Israel just before his death: "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." 

It would be equally appropriate for a covenant family to have a sign hanging over the front door of its home, with the words engraved on it: "This Home is a Covenant Home." Such a family would want all who visited it to understand that the home they were about to enter was a special kind of home, a unique home, a home which differed from countless thousands of homes throughout the country or the world. 

If you saw such a sign appropriately fixed above the front door of a house, what precisely would you expect to find inside? Would you enter with some firm ideas concerning what to expect? Or would you say: "I have no idea of what a covenant home is like."

Letter to Timothy

Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted February 08, 2019 in Herman Hanko, Preaching, Standard Bearer

Dear Timothy,

In the last letter to you I mentioned, somewhat in passing, that our attitude towards the preacher and our attitude towards the preaching were inseparably related to each other. I want to say a bit more about that in this letter, especially from the viewpoint of what is involved in listening to a sermon. I wonder sometimes whether we have lost the art of listening. Or, if I may repeat that passage from Ecclesiastes which I quoted last time, "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few." Do we really know how to do this?

God's Everlasting Covenant of Grace in Spanish

Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted September 28, 2018 in Covenant, Herman Hanko, Spanish, translations, unconditional covenant

Two years ago Editorial Doulos, an evangelical Spanish publisher, requested permission from the RFPA to translate Prof. Hanko’s book God’s Everlasting Covenant of Grace into Spanish.

In their request Editorial Doulos noted that Hanko’s book is “an enduring work that treats the Protestant Reformed conception of the covenant in detail, linking it to the Reformed doctrines of God’s sovereignty both in salvation and in the world. This perspective on the covenant is not currently accessible to Spanish language readers.”

The RFPA has just received two complimentary copies of the translation, and you can find it for sale online at www.spanishevangelical.com/product-page/el-eterno-pacto-de-gracia-de-dios.

Please be sure to share this post to spread the word about Editorial Doulos and their translating work!

We and Our Children

The Reformed Doctrine of Infant Baptism

by Herman Hanko

"We" (the elect people of God) and "our children" are and should be inseperably linked because they both belong to the covenant of grace. Many Baptists deny this beautiful truth when they refuse to baptize their children. Using scripture as his guide, the author develops the truth of God's covenant as it relates to the baptism of the infants of believers.
