In our last episode we learned of the early religious influences on John Fawcett and then of his conversion. Under God, it came through the word of truth preached by an Anglican priest named George Whitfield. One of the great emphases in his preaching was the need to be born again. In the state-supported religion of the day, Christianity was often equated with morality. The law was given out but t...

One of the five biblical occurrences of adoption explicitly describes the national adoption of Israel (Rom. 9:4). Paul in listing the great privileges which the physical nation of Israel had enjoyed speaks first of ‘the adoption’. The presence of the article manifests that this adoption was a definite, well-known fact. Israel is frequently described as God’s son in the Old Testament (Exod. 4:22; D...

It’s time to sketch a short biography of John Fawcett, the pastor-poet we’ve been learning about. Despite the fact that he hasn’t been studied with the kind of depth as other Baptist leaders from the 18th century, we know quite a bit about him because upon his death, one of his sons wrote a memoir.

"Stephen Marshall - Reformation Desolation - The Symptoms of A Natio To Whom God Will Not Be Reconciled - 1641 Fast Day Sermon. "

We come today to continue our study of Chapter 12 of the Confession and the important subject “of Adoption.” Last time I asserted the need to distinguish between adoption in the history of redemption and adoption in the application of salvation. In this podcast I want to survey adoption in the history of redemption. Remember this has to do with the people of God corporately in the history of redem...

We come today to consider Chapter 12 of the Confession which takes up the important subject “of Adoption.” This is a wonderful and comforting biblical subject which well warrants our meditation after our study of justification in the previous chapter of the Confession. The text of this chapter of the Confession is almost verbatim with that of the Westminster Confession. This fact underscores the c...

The following question was submitted to the Pastor's Inbox:  Greetings Pastors, I had a question regarding female deacons? Is affirming female deacons in the church both in keeping with scripture and reformed Baptist tradition? Obviously, this would be in light of passages in 1 Tim 3 (Wives or Women debate in verse 11) and Rom 16 (was Phoebe a Deacon in her church) and obviously Acts 6. How d...

I have introduced you to several of John Fawcett’s writings – especially his sermons and devotional works. But he was also a fine hymn writer. Several of his better productions are still sung today. He believed in singing psalms and hymns in public worship, not merely for private edification. The Baptist churches in his day, that is in the latter 1700’s, would have predominantly sung the psalms an...

I want to introduce you to more works from the pen of John Fawcett, the Baptist pastor from the north of England in the later 1700s. In almost 100 episodes of Particular Pilgrims, we have found only a few authors producing what could be called “many” publications. Benjamin Keach was one but the list is short. In the 1600s it could be difficult for non-conformists to publish. This began to ease in...
