- The supposed “severity” of our doctrine should not result in us having pinched faces, downcast glances, and shuffling guilty feet. Our doctrines are sharp and severe, but only in the way a surgeon’s scalpel is sharp. The cancerous tumor he will remove is soft, and malleable, and warm-and it will kill us. The scalpel is cold, and hard, and sharp. Don’t be a child in your thinking. If God is kind, and you have your wits about you, you will walk out of the hospital overflowing with gratitude and gladness.

This is amazing when he read the section about not rejoicing and being glad I was convicted paused the video ,got on my knees(now with joy and thanks for exposing my sin futhermore) , confessed my sinful pride asked for forgiveness and gave thanks. This is something the LORD has been brewing in me for a while (plenty more sin were that came from ) I've observed undercurrents of the glee for the LORDS sovereignty and even watched his sons(N.D. Wilson) thing on Chesterton and calvin but this video being quick and clear really did a number on me I give thanks for the brothers and sisters at christ church God bless!
Never expected to see Doug Wilson doing a PragerU video
Very Prager U! But great approach to teaching scripture. Thank you Pastor Doug!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was most unexpected, thanks.
Chesterton is on my bookshelves along with Calvin, John Owen, the Puritans, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Hodge, Benjamin Warfield, Berkhof, Cornelius Van Til, Gresham Machen, John Murray, Loraine Boettner, Arthur W Pink, Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

Joyful Calvinism.
“…permanent "humility" is just pride and arrogance in a fetal position.”
Not gonna forget this.
Such a good quote!
A local Pastor said something in his sermon last week that was rather poignant... Not all are even capable of comprehending truth, regardless of being receptive of it. "The Truth as he said is HARD, but we must not let it harden us." Both in our approach and efforts, persevere we must I might add...
this was probably my favorite one. Very beneficial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This series is great, I especially appreciate the catechism summary at the end.
Good stuff. I found the part about rightly appreciating and handling worldly possessions to be especially helpful.
Thanks, Brother Doug, that was very good.
Wow! Really well done. I will save this and commit this to memory for better understanding. This format is better helps my edification, please if you would do more. Thank you and God bless!
Hi Rich - search "Reformed Basics" and you will find the whole series playlist. Enjoy!
Brilliant!!!
Loved this lesson. Help me understand the significance of Eric Hoffer, not his quote, but that it came from him. Thanks.
No need. I searched Eric Hoff….wrong dude. It’s Hoffer. Got it.
Good stuff
Thanks for watching!
These are great. How many more are you guys thinking of making?
As a PCA elder, my mantra is always "Calvinism is the right faith for the wrong people"
What exactly does that mean??
@@thelastquincy1457 Many conservative presbyterians tend to be very bookish, and instead of revelling in God's sovereignty, they become argumentative with people that disagree with their theology.Trusting in a sovereign God should make you more winsome, not sour puss quarrelsome. Hope that helps.
May I have a recommendation on the first Chesterton book to read?
Orthodoxy
Agreed!
Irony when it strikes hot
"There was a young man named Spurgey
Who didn’t like our liturgy
But his sermons were fine
So I make them mine
As do all of the Anglican clergy."
Witty joyful Doug
Sprung up some old Chesterton
Dusting off Lewis
Because doug is rusty
Yet blinding irony
From that poem he writes about Spurgey
Heated iron is swung
At the tendon that grips
Watch the hypocrisy from lips
He does the same as what Anglicans have done
Actually, Deuteronomy chapters 28 through 30 is a "prophecy" given by Moses for the coming lifespan of the Jewish people.
Every marker that we later hear in detail in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, and Malachi is touched by Moses in these passages.
We open the books of history to see them ALL fulfilled in crystalline detail, right up until LAST WEEK, and we rest in full assurance
that the words of Jesus in the synoptics and John in his vision will rise up also to meet the encroaching events that are now upon us.
Let Jesus cut the Bacon!
Intelligence 🎉
Yet another explanation why the church in America and in the West cannot survive an amillennial eschatology. Pessimism breeds cowards and quitters.
oh cool
Do you believe that C S Lewis was saved?
God's grace is sufficient for those who repent. Perfect theology doesn't save you. God's grace does.
I prefer Pauline Calvinism. The doctrines of Grace are Gospel doctrines, people who do not confess and indeed attack them are not Christians, its that simple, to think otherwise is absurd. If it walks like an Arminian and talks like an Arminian its not a Calvinist, to think anything else is quackery. The Holy Spirit leads us to make true confessions of the gospel not false ones. If you really want to see the Gospel soar over this land, defend the Sovereignty of the Holy Spirit and his ability to lead people to believe AND Confess the true Gospel, if you don’t do this you are promoting Theological relativism and undermining the truth of the Gospel, by denying the clarity of the Gospel and the Sovereign power of the Holy Spirit to lead people to confess the Truth.
Are these available in text format anywhere?
Hey Joshua - currently they are not but something is in the works. Cheers.
Copelandian Calvinism.
And yet Chesterton was a fellow Catholic 🙂
Indeed!
@@ChristKirk It’s interesting, because I see Wilson as a sort of Chesterton, in a way - I disagree with him on much, but on the issues where we agree, I’ve found his approach unique and helpful
@@ryanpope7891 Did Chesterton work out who the “Blessed Man” was in Romans Chapter 4?
@@chrismachin2166 no idea
