“On the same day I received the [Belgic Confession] Article 19 CDs, I received the Standard Bearer with its teaching on ‘He Ascended Into Heaven,’ which I read twice before I listened to a CD. What a wonderful providence of God! It couldn’t have been better preparation! I really wanted to learn about ‘The Union and Distinction of the Two Natures in the Person of Christ’ after studying it—again, previously, I think I would have found it too much for me. And what a blessing the first 6 CDs have been! It really is surprising and wonderful that we listeners to the CDs can enter in to the study as if we are there! Thank you so much for your teaching and to the study group allowing us to share with them in this way.” – Halifax, England

“Thank you for the [box set of] the Belgic Confession, article 19. I have often wondered how the two natures of Christ work themselves out in His life on earth, but have never read or heard anything before, so I am looking forward to listening to them.” – S. Wales

Many today have never heard of church authority or think it a subject of little value. But if a congregation or denomination does not know and practise this biblical truth, it is headed for disaster!

Belgic Confession 30 (Vol. XXII)

6 classes on 6 CDs

Church offices and church government are issues that are often neglected in our day as if they were irrelevant and dull. But this is to the great loss of the believing church member and to the dishonour of Christ, the church’s glorious head, for worldly ideas and practice regarding church leadership then fill the vacuum!

The first three classes in this box set refute Charismaticism, Anabaptism and Episcopalianism by insisting on only and all the three permanent, ordinary and biblical church offices: pastor, elder and deacon. The next three audios consider church office-bearers in connection with the Spirit of Christ, good order and decency, and broader assemblies, with the last class treating the great Jerusalem Assembly in Acts 15.

7 classes on Belgic Confession 37 (Vol. XXXIX) on CD in an attractive box set

Many dispensationalists and premillennialists claim that Ezekiel 40-48 is a powerful argument for a literal future 1,000-year period of bliss (for resurrected Jews, regenerated people and unbelievers), alleging that its holy temple, Zadokite priesthood, bloody animal sacrifices, ceremonial laws, godly prince, amazing river, tribal land divisions, etc., are all to be taken literally. These audios survey the contents and eschatological significance of Ezekiel 40-48, and present 7 solid arguments against understanding it literalistically. The positive teaching of Ezekiel’s last 9 chapters involves startling changes to the OT law, a “better” state for God’s people, and Scripture’s own teaching on the time and manner of its fulfilment, as well as the hope of OT and NT saints.

(1) Introducing Ezekiel 40-48
(2) Land Divisions, Sacred Reserve, Temple Compound and Healing River
(3) Three Arguments Against Literalism in Ezekiel 40-48
(4) Seven Massive Problems With a Literal Ezekiel 40-48
(5) Changes in OT Law in Ezekiel 40-48
(6) Ezekiel 40-48 as “Better”
(7) The Fulfilment of Ezekiel 40-48

Herman Bavinck: “Ezekiel’s realistic picture of the future contains elements that require a symbolic interpretation: the equal shares assigned to all the tribes, though in numbers [of tribal members] they vary widely; the precisely measured strips of land intended for priests, Levites, and the king: the separation of the temple from the city; the high location of the temple on a mountain and the brook that streams out from under the threshold of the east door of the temple toward the Dead Sea; and finally the artificial way things are put together and the impossibility of implementing them practically—all these features resist a so-called realistic interpretation” (Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 4 [Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 2008], p. 660)
