P  Category: Presbyterianism What is Presbyterianism? - Part 1 We are assembled this evening as a Presbyterian Historical Society. It has occurred to me that it would not be inappropriate to discuss the question, What is Presbyterianism? You will not expect from me an oration. My object is neither conviction nor persuasion; but exposition. I propose to occupy the hour devoted to this address in an attempt to unfold the principles of that system of Church polity which we, as Presbyterians, hold to be laid down in the word of God.
Category: BiographiesThe Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards (1722 - 1723) As Edwards father taught him, he always thought and studied with his pen in his hand. His "Resolutions" are, like Benjamin Franklin's, a set of rules of self-discipline that Edwards believed were a set of guidelines to live his life by. The first 24 were written in one sitting in 1722, and a total of 34 were completed by mid December. There are 70 total "Resolutions" the last of which was written on August 17, 1723. Edwards pledged to read them once a week for the rest of his life.
Category: Family WorshipThe Reformed Faith in Its Ethical Consequences in the Family: Part I The family as an institution belongs to the natural order. Its welfare tells on that of the community, and of the State, and of the world. So also what affects it to its hurt has an injurious influence on all the constituencies that reap the benefit of its well-being.
Category: Puritans & PuritanismThe Puritan Approach to Worship It is sometimes said that evangelicals are not interested in worship. If by worship one means the technicalities of liturgical study, this may be true. But I do not suppose that I am the only evangelical who finds that the actual exercise of worship, the deliberate lifting of one's eyes from man and his mistakes to contemplate God and his glory, grows increasingly precious as the years go by, and brings solace and refreshment to the spirit in a way that nothing else can do.
Category: Family WorshipThe Importance of Family Religion: Chapter 1 Section 1 The head of a family sustains to his household the threefold relation of a king, a prophet, and a priest. As a king, he rules his house, and administers its government. As a prophet, it is his business to impart suitable instruction to his children and servants. And as a priest, he should conduct the worship, and lead the social devotions of the family.
Category: The Holy SpiritThe Holy Spirit in the Life of the Christian Here we study the subjective work of the Holy Spirit that perfects and consummates His objective work. He works in us what was wrought by Christ for us, and in the case of the believer the operations of the Spirit are effectual.
Category: Creeds & ConfessionsIs the Shorter Catechism Worth While? The Shorter Catechism is, perhaps, not very easy to learn. And very certainly it will not teach itself. Its framers were less careful to make it easy than to make it good. As one of them, Lazarus Seaman, explained, they sought to set down in it not the knowledge the child has, but the knowledge the child ought to have.
