Mark Dever’s Sermon on the 250th Anniversary of America

On one hand we may not care much about the 250th anniversary of the formation of the United States as Canadians. But this last week we considered the duties of the Christian to the State, as well as the limits of its authority, and the Declaration of Independence in 1776 is one key example of a largely Christian or at least Christianized nation refusing to submit to the British authorities. Mark Dever of Capitol Hill Baptist and 9Marks preached the following sermon as his first week back after a health episode that he thought would keep him from pastoring or preaching again. Here’s an excerpt and I encourage you to read the whole thing: “Opinions of the justice of the revolution were divided on both sides of the Atlantic. Some members of parliament supported the American colonist’s right for revolution. Benjamin Franklin’s own son William was governor of New Jersey. He was loyal to the British monarch. Edmund Morgan, a well-known Welsh Baptist pastor in Philadelphia, was a loyalist, rare among Baptists. James Madison, not the president, but a cousin who was a namesake, one of the first Episcopal bishops in the American Anglican Church was a supporter of the...Continue reading

For Everything There Is a Season

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.” (Ec 3:1–8) The book of Ecclesiastes contains a certain, but strange sort of wisdom. It is a wisdom born out of realism, observation, and earth-bound experience. Only seldomly does its counsel ascend, as it were, to heaven. It contains truth, but not the whole truth,...Continue reading

Some Notes on Revelation 4

Revelation 4 is the transition point between the letters that are sent to the churches in chapters 2 to 4, and the later and more purely apocalyptic section of the book. Here John is transported to see a vision of heaven, and the place of God there. And the Book of Revelation is replete with Old Testament imagery. The better we know the Old Testament, the better we will understand the symbolism and meaning of Revelation. Let me offer a few thoughts and notes on this chapter. OT Background Two major passages lie particularly strongly in the background. The first is Ezekiel 1 with its four living creatures that have four faces and who have an expanse over their heads like crystal and God upon His throne above that. Many interpreters say that this is the picture or idea of a heavenly chariot. “And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him. Like the appearance of the bow that...Continue reading

Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for sinners means salvation, the hope of heaven, and a changed life for all who put their faith in Him.

The single most important event in the history of the world took place when Jesus died 2000 years ago and rose again on the third day. Because Jesus is fully man and fully God, His sacrifice on the cross for sinners means salvation, the hope of heaven, and a changed life for all who put their faith in Him.
