RTS and the Current State of Theological Education

Some of you may have seen this important article over at The Gospel Coalition about the decline and relocation of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) by Collin Hansen, who is a graduate of the school. Reformed Theological Seminary has been friends with TEDS for many years. Over the years, a number of our faculty have done their studies there before coming to RTS, and a number of our graduates have gone on to do doctoral work there. We wish TEDS all the best in this new stage of their institutional life. The last twenty years have been tough for accredited graduate theological education…

Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning April 13, 2008 Communion Sunday Philippians 3:1-11 Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding: A Study of Philippians “When Gain is Loss, and Loss Means Greater Gain” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III “O come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord, our maker; for He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care.” Let us worship Him. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 3. We’re again reading from Philippians 3:1-11. We've been looking at this passage for a few weeks now. In the first verse of Philippians 3 the Apostle Paul exhorts us to joy: not to a shallow joy, but to a deep joy; not to fake joy, but real joy; not to joy…

Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning April 6, 2008 Philippians 3:1-6 Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding: A Study of Philippians “Put No Confidence in the Flesh” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I love that hymn, “For All the Saints.” Every line, every stanza is designed to bring to mind a biblical truth that both comforts us in midst of the sorrows of this life by which we're surrounded on every side, and to give us strength to persevere to the end. And in a sense this song does exactly what the Bible passage that we're going to study today does: it brings to bear biblical truth on the living of the Christian life, and it gives us strength and comfort and courage and joy for the living of these days. Let me invite you to take your…

With God in the Wilderness (44): From Egypt to Jordan

The Lord’s Day Evening Numbers 33:1-49 With God in the Wilderness From Egypt to Jordan Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. When we started our series on the book of Numbers, all those months ago back on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, we admitted that Numbers is probably not one of your top ten favorite Bible books. In fact, some of you may not be particularly excited about studying Numbers. Some of you may not have read through it in a long time, and some of you may never have read through it at all. Thirty-six chapters, 1,288 verses, lots of laws, lots of sand, lots of desert grumbling and wandering doesn’t sound very hopeful, does it? But as we studied Numbers over the course of the months, we have found it to be a great book. The hymn that we have just sung, Guide…

This Side of the Jordan

Numbers 32:1-42 This Side of the Jordan J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 32. In Numbers 29, our focus was on the public worship of the church in Israel as they come before the living God via the sacrificial system. In Numbers 30, the focus was on vows and a whole range of categories of religious vows were described and certain principles and rules were laid down for those vows and certain consequences were addressed for the breaking of…
