I had the distinct honor of speaking for the Sovereign Grace Baptist Association Men’s Retreat this past weekend in Lapeer Michigan. It was hosted by my dear friend Pastor Fred Leuck at his church, Thornville Baptist.

There is always a tension between orthodoxy and a passion. To the mechanical purist God whispers, “I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” To the careless enthusiast, God whispers the words of David, “surely you desire truth in the inner parts.” God is seeking just one kind of person, one who will worship Him in spirit and truth, passion and purity. (John 4)
I can think of no two people better qualified to guide us into the heart of God than Jerry Bridges and Phil Johnson. The true worship of God must have both head and heart. Both of these men have distinguished themselves as passionate servants of Jesus Christ, and precise expositors of his glorious gospel. Of all the seminars we have ever hosted before, I believe this will touch our hearts and our minds as few others have before. I hope to see you there!
In Christ,
Reid Ferguson

It is well worth your time both in terms of why a good grasp of Church history is so impactful to how we understand ourselves and, as to how we understand our own doctrinal positions.
I’ve provided a starter taste below.
