Sin, Salvation, & Service: The Threefold Truth Of Romans (7)
Heidelcast
Westminster Seminary California, Seminary for a Day
This is episode seven in our series on the book of Romans, Sin, Salvation, and Service. I was going to dive into Romans 2 17 through 24 but realized that I really need to address an issue that I probably should have done at the beginning. And I'll explain why I didn't do it. You can contact Westminster Seminary California for Christ, his gospel, and his church.
In this episode, Dr. Clark continues the Heidelcast series on Romans, beginning with a look at the "New Perspective on Paul" (NPP) and the question of Jews and Gentiles in the early church. Dr. Clark breaks down how the NPP affects Reformed theology and how to consider it critically, with critiques from Michael Horton and Charles E. Hill. He answers texts from John about images of Christ and from Josh about the practice of laying on of hands in ordination. He answers emails from Brandon about singing non-inspired songs in private or family worship; from Susan saying thanks for the recent episode on Getting the Gospel Right; from Jason making the sign of the cross; from Anonymous about the relationship between the Adamic, Noah, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants; and from Robert about a partial quotation from Herman Bavinck on distinguishing law and gospel. Did Bavinck reject the law/gospel distinction. See the resources below for more on these topics. The opening audio is from Brad Isbell and Luke Gossett on the Presbycast.
This episode of the Heidelcast is sponsored by Westminster Seminary California. The need for well-trained ministers and laity is greater now than at any time since the Reformation. Doctrinal confusion abounds. Educational standards are slipping. So the work of Westminster Seminary California has never been more important. We need pastors and leaders in the church who really know the Word, who can really read the original languages competently, who can preach the law and the gospel faithfully, who can shepherd the flock graciously, and who can reach the lost boldly.

You will be able to sit in on classes, meet students and professors, see the campus and student housing, and have all your questions answered in-person by those best equipped to help you on your seminary journey!
