Graduate Profile: Rob Freire, Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.)

February 07, 2014/ Administrator

God pursued me across the planet. I was a recent college graduate living as an expatriate in South Korea, teaching English to middle school students. I was also in flight—fleeing from the God who called me to himself for rescue, forgiveness, and acceptance. For years I had rejected the gospel. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved me, even when I was dead in my trespasses, made me alive together with Christ. By grace I was saved.

Graduate Profile: Ron O'Dell, Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.)

January 30, 2014/ Administrator

I had the privilege of growing up in a godly, Christian home. At a very young age, I had a fear of standing before the Lord at the judgment seat. One night during a strong thunderstorm, I made a profession of faith. During my teen years, I retained that fear of judgment, and I could never seem to get an assurance of my salvation. I went to church three times a week, went to a Christian school where the Word of God was consistently taught, and had godly parents encouraging me on throughout the week. Although I was surrounded by all these blessings, I never studied the Word on my own.

Spiritual Warfare by Borgman and Ventura

January 18, 2014/ Administrator

A Reformed Baptist Seminary professor and graduate have collaborated to write an excellent and practical book on the topic of "spiritual warfare." Pastors Brian Borgman and Rob Ventura affirm the reality of demonic "principalities and powers" against which the Christian must war. But they avoid the imbalance found in some literature on this topic that encourages the believer to look for a demon behind every door, under every table, and inside every cupboard. Below you can browse the table of contents, preface, and introduction.

The Chief End of Our Salvation: God's Glory

January 03, 2014/ Administrator

The Westminster Shorter Catechism is best known for its opening question: “What is the chief end of man?” To which the following reply is offered: “Man’s chief end is to glorify and enjoy God forever.” Hardly a more comprehensive and biblical answer could be imagined. This “ultimate question” is so comprehensive that it may accurately be applied to God himself with the same result: “What is the chief end of God?” Answer: “God’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.”

That is to say, everything God does in the world—especially His work of salvation—He does to further His own glory and enjoyment in the world.

A Lecture on "Creation & Covenant"

November 21, 2013/ Administrator

In this lecture Dr Bob Gonzales seeks to demonstrate that the creation accounts of Genesis 1 and 2 introduce us to the central theme(s) of the Bible, namely, God's kingdom and his special presence. This they do through several royal and cultic motifs that depict the creation as God's temple-palace into which he places his vice-regent (humanity) in order to represent and extend God's mediatorial rule and glory over the earth within the context of a divine-human covenant.
