An exposition of 1 Timothy 3:2-3 continuing a survey of the apostolic qualifications for the eldership. The sermon examines the character traits Paul requires of a bishop — blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, gentle, not quarrelsome, and not covetous — treating each as a bind...

Barnabas and Saul are sent out by the Holy Spirit and by the church.

The Canons of Dort The Fifth Head of Doctrine – The Perseverance of the Saints ARTICLE 10 – Assurance of salvation comes from faith in the promises of the Gospel, which are worked in us by the Word and the Spirit of God, and from a holy desire to preserve a good conscience and perform good works.

The Book of Psalms ends with a crescendo of praise– five psalms of hearty and uplifting doxology. This reflects something of the trajectory of the entire Scriptures as well as of God's great plan of redemption for all creation. In the end, it will all be unadulterated praise to God in glory. But the final five psalms encourage us not to wait until then to praise the Lord. Instead, they give us goo...
