In an effort to streamline and improve our podcasting ministries, the Man of God Network, which consists of seven distinct shows, will be consolidated into a single show: The Covenant Podcast by CBTSeminary. Rather than releasing new podc...

Hyper-Calvinism in English Baptist circles in the 19th century grew and changed in significant ways. But rather than continue on into the 19th century too far, I want to take another approach to complete, for now, our look at hyper-Calvinism in Baptist circles. Let me point you to a 5 volume study entitled “The Strict Baptist Chapels of England.” For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org

William Gadsby was much more than a preacher to his Manchester congregation. He also wrote for them, which is surprising, given his poor education.

What is your basic thinking on the subject of tithing from inheritance? In conjunction with the thought of tithing on the inheritance of money, what are your thoughts regarding tithing upon things such as life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and the equity from the sale of a home?

Gadsby's errors in teaching are not unimportant, but they do remind us that the sovereign God is not bound to only work salvation through men with perfect doctrine. As the medieval saying goes, “God uses crooked sticks to draw straight lines.” For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org

"Just over a year after John Gill’s death, another man was born who called himself a Strict and Particular Baptist. He stood in the line of those often called hyper-Calvinists. His name was William Gadsby and while he shared the strong Calvinism of Gill, his life circumstances and ministry were considerably different in some ways. If you have heard his name before, it is probably in relation to hi...

Brethren, I know we’ve had one previous conversation on Shepherding the Afflicted through the preached word, but I’d like for us to narrow in our this specific situation of affliction.  What doctrines or passages should we preached to minister to widows and widowers? What passages does the congregation need to hear for them to effectively minister to widows and widowers in the congregation?  For m...

"The question some of you may have been waiting to hear addressed is the relationship between John Gill and hyper-Calvinism. Does Gill qualify as such? For some historians and theological writers, to ask the question is to answer it: of course he was. For them, Gill is the arch hyper-Calvinist who espoused damaging errors and practices. Others claim that Gill was simply a Calvinist fully in line w...

Today, John Gill is predominantly known for his writings. These amounted to over 10,000 folio pages. A folio was the full sheet of paper, 19 by 24 inches, then used by printers. With this quantity of output, no wonder one man gave Gill the nickname, “Dr. Voluminous”. I’ll describe many of his writings in the next few minutes, but what is not usually appreciated is that virtually all of his publica...

This was printed and he appended a short account of things she told her parents in the days leading up to her death. In the sermon John refers to her as “our dear child”. And at the service he suddenly had to break o...
