An easy read from the RFPA
In a very accessible way, this book brings Protestant Reformed church history to life.
Last chance...
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.
In Response to 'What Must I Do?' Editorial in the Standard Bearer
The following letter was sent to the editorial office of the Standard Bearer with the request that they publish it. The editors refused to publish the letter. I publish it here on the RFPA blog as I sent it to them. I believe these issues are of utmost importance for our churches and for the readers of the blog.________________
Letter to the Standard Bearer about What must I do?
Dear Editors of the Standard Bearer,
I am writing about the most recent editorial, What must I do?, by Rev. Koole (October 1, 2018 Volume 95, Issue 1). I find the editorial deeply disturbing for the connection that it makes with doctrinal dispute in our churches, specifically the editor’s, “fear that we tend to underestimate,” the truth of irresistible grace, and the editor’s connecting this to the “issues being discussed in the PRC of late, namely, grace and godliness—the life of good works—in the life of the child of God.”
The editor’s reference is to the doctrinal dispute in the Protestant Reformed Churches over sermons preached at Hope Protestant Reformed Church. I take issue with the editor’s characterization of this as “a discussion.” Rather, there were multiple protests and appeals filed, discipline carried out, a man deposed from office, many meetings were held, many decisions were made, some decisions overturned, and the last decision was made by Synod 2018, part of which involved a formula of subscription examination of a preacher. It is hardly “a discussion.” To describe it as such is an affront to all involved.
