The semester is off to a great start at @RTSJackson! I’m thankful for our team of faculty and staff and for our students, who have come from all over the world to study God’s word.

I’m looking forward to a great week. Please pray for God’s blessing!. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands! - Psalm 90:17.
Good week ahead for RTS. On Wednesday, Dr. @DavidTIrving will preach the 60th Convocation Service of @RTSJackson. Today, I’ll get back from @RTSWashington just in time for faculty meeting, and then this afternoon I’ll begin my 36th year of teaching for @ReformTheoSem.

Update on this famous but apparently misattributed quote. Owen gets close to part of it here: . our solitudes and retirements…give us the most genuine trials whether we are spiritually minded or no. *What we are in them, that we are, and no more.*. v7p375.Grace&Duty Spirit.Mind.
A brief 🧵on a famous John Owen quote that might not be a John Owen quote: . "A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more.”.

It’s been my habit to read a chapter or so of a Christian biography after supper on the Lord’s Day (a habit I commend!) and any of these would be a great place to start in 2025.

Others I’ve enjoyed that aren’t as well known as the “great” Christian biographies (Marsden’s Jonathan Edwards or Gordon’s Calvin or John G. Paton: An Autobiography for example) include: The Memoirs of Thomas Boston, Andrew Bonar: Diary and Life,.

5. Life of John Murray by Ian Murray (@banneroftruth, 1982). Prof. Murray may be best remembered for his writings (Redemption Accomplished & Applied, etc…). But, multiple men who knew him have said that they never met a man more palpably full of the holy presence of God.

of dangerous travels for pastoral visits, & testimonies of God’s help. Macrae had a staggering workload. In 1935, he recorded 327 services, 38 church court meetings, 1,059 visits, 75 baptisms, 37 funerals, 12 marriages, and 10 new members!.
