Model of Herod's temple

What dispensationalism gets wrong about the temple

The New Testament teaches that Jesus is the true Israel and David’s greater son (Matthew 2:15 as a fulfilment of Hosea 11:1; Acts 2:29-33, Galatians 3:16, Philippians 3:3; Hebrews 8-10 as a fulfilment of Jeremiah 31:31-34). It is in Christ’s church — as Jesus’ mystical Spirit-filled body — that weContinue Reading

contemporary worship

Much contemporary worship music is aesthetically and biblically vacuous

Keith Getty, author of the widely sung contemporary hymn “In Christ Alone”, lamented that, in its quest for “cultural relevance”, modern worship music is “de-Christianizing people”. He said: “Over 75 percent of what are called the great hymns of the faith talk about eternity, heaven, hell, and the fact thatContinue Reading

Was ‘The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill’ podcast series a mistake?

This is the argument of my friend (you hear his voice in the introduction to the Heidelcast) Jason Estopinal. He appeals to Proverbs 10:19, 1 Thessalonians 4:11, Philippians 4:8, Proverbs 3:30 and Matthew 18 and concludes that Christians should not be fascinated by what one critic has called the “failureContinue Reading

Whose record of obedience do you want to trust in for salvation? Yours or Jesus’?

Just pause and think of what it meant for the Lord Jesus to obey for us, in our place. For thirty years he never once said or did anything wrong. More than that, at every single moment he positively said and did exactly the right thing, in the right way,Continue Reading

Martin Luther

Luther is not to blame for the problems of modernity

[…] I dissent from Casey Chalk’s genealogy of modernity. He goes on to argue that this notion of the autonomous, emotivist self can be traced to Martin Luther. In part this is because Chalk depends upon Jacques Maritain’s Three Reformers: Luther, Descartes, Rousseau for his reading of Luther. Luther isContinue Reading

By Simon Jooste and Johannes Potgieter It is our opinion that the 1942 RCSA revision of Article 69 was based on a church historical hermeneutic that set the stage for her more radical revision in 2012. As described above, the decision of the 2012 Synod turned on the assumption thatContinue Reading

By Simon Jooste and Johannes Potgieter By 1930 the tide appears to have begun to change within the RCSA relative to song in corporate worship. That this shift coincided with a similar change in the convictions of Totius (as described above) should not go unnoticed. Between 1930 and 1942, theContinue Reading

By Simon Jooste and Johannes Potgieter Undisputed is the fact that the Doppers desired and realised a return to the 1619 Church Order of Dort (Louw 1999:597). Scholars are in agreement that the secession of the VGK from the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk (NHK) had much to do with what wasContinue Reading

By Simon Jooste and Johannes Potgieter The question of driving concern in this article is whether there are historical–theological reasons to critique the 2012 Reformed Churches in South Africa (RCSA) Synod decision to revise Article 69 of the church order to read as follows (RCSA 2012): [I]n the churches onlyContinue Reading
