One of the things I’ve always appreciated with him was how he would at certain times follow the implications of Scriptural texts to their clear implications,  even if it made himself or others uncomfortable!  He was pretty gutsy like that at times.  It is very evident that He was not first of all trying to make a consistent, coherent system. Sometimes it lead to surprising conclusions that would shock those who came after him and esteem him. And despite certain errors in his theology, I think we can all admire the way he would throw caution to the wind and take what God says in his Book seriously.

His sermons on a number of books of the Bible are published, including a book of sermons on Ephesians. Here are a few excerpts from various writings, both things he has specifically written and also written excerpts from his sermons:

“We must make our election sure in Christ. We dare not become participant in evil things and fall as Israel; which is a good lesson to us. Adam fell and Israel also fell. We, however, cannot fall when we stand and are blessed and called through the Gospel, for in love toward us He has predestinated us unto sonship—we shall be His children. We shall believe and let Him reign in us. Then it is manifest that we were, in times past, called and chosen to become His sons. The Father beforehand appointed this in His Son that we should be children of God; reborn of the spirit. So let us bestow care upon our being acceptable to Him, for our calling follows our being chosen.”

(Samuel H. Froehlich in Writings of Samuel Froehlich;  pp.206 ;  from his comments on Ephesians 1:4-6 ; published by The Heritage Center Foundation)

“Paul says here that the Father, through the Son, hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings and made us citizens of heaven, which is based on the eternal decision of God, which was made through Christ before the foundation of the world was laid.

The election is deeply grounded with God. When a person is called to the true church of Christ, so that he is converted from darkness to light, it is a predestination which was made before the foundation of the world. This is certain—that if a person who is  called, was predestinated by Christ before the foundation of the world, he will accept the call. The predestination is an election, through which it becomes manifest whom God bath chosen, and the elect come forth so that they may be blessed with all spiritual blessings The election is deeply grounded with God. When a person is called to the true church of Christ, so that he is converted from darkness to light, it is a predestination which was made before the foundation of the world. This is certain—that if a person who is called, was predestinated by Christ before the foundation of the world, he will accept the call. The predestination is an election, through which it becomes manifest whom God bath chosen, and the elect come forth so that they may be blessed with all spiritual blessings earthly. Yet, therefore, we have the spirit in us—the image of the heavenly.

There is much indeed in us. Whoever is from above will also come again thereto; whoever is not from above, will come into the pool of the devil: for a kingdom is already prepared for us. Our destination has been fixed for us by God before the foundation of the world. We must needs rejoice in that our futurity has been established by God— before the foundation of the world! Let us rejoice in that our succession is an election, so that we stand firmly therein and do not serve another spirit, for it is now an inward, hidden kingdom of grace in us—that it may become manifest at His appearance, when the people will be separated from one another and it shall be said, ‘ . . . Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’ Matthew 25:34.

‘Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:’

He hath chosen us to be holy and without blame in the world—and the chosen in the world are easily recognized because of their holiness and blamelessness. In God, everything that occurs was fore-known. He knows what takes place. He knew beforehand of Adam’s fall. For that reason the harm that we sustained through Adam was healed again in His Son.  Before our redemption takes place, there is this definite resolution of God. We have tasted, seen and experienced what sin in the world is. Therefore if we are chosen, we cannot turn back and take it on again. Adam took from us what we had and Christ restored it again and gave us an earnest in heaven, namely, the Spirit. We cannot then throw it away.”

(Samuel H. Froehlich in Writings of Samuel Froehlich;  pp.203-204 ;  from his comments on Ephesians 2; published by The Heritage Center Foundation)

“And our predestination is also simultaneously old for He had, in time past, appointed us unto adoption to Himself. The disclosure of adoption is already made known here when God enlightens us, so that the light in us shall shine forth out of the darkness. If we were thus called, so that we are now with Christ, when this calling has come to light, we then know that is as old as the calling of the Son was from the Father, that is, from everlasting. For nothing has happened and nothing can happen which He did not know and assign from eternity. So whoever was (or is) called may know thereby that he was predestinated before the foundation of the world was lain.”

(Samuel H. Froehlich in Writings of Samuel Froehlich;  pp.207 ;  from his comments on Ephesians 1:4-6 ; published by The Heritage Center Foundation)

“The children of God, therefore, are well known in the world by their love towards one
another, as well as by the hatred and enmity with which they are persecuted by men
because they are no longer of the world but of God, and indeed are so separated and set
apart from the world that they constitute an unmistakable contrast to it (enter into
opposition with it), yet not according to their own choice or bidding but by God’s
election and calling of grace”

(Samuel H. Froehlich in Writings of Samuel Froehlich;  pp.923 ;  from his comments on I John 3:11 ; published by The Heritage Center Foundation)

“But because the world cannot receive the Spirit of truth, for it neither knows nor sees Him, it is evident that all who do receive Him and become children of God must be singled out and set apart from the world, on God’s part by election as well as on the world’s part by expulsion and rejection.”

(Samuel H. Froehlich in Writings of Samuel Froehlich;  pp.923 ;  from his comments on I John 3:11 ; published by The Heritage Center Foundation)

“For the zealous champions of the doctrine which teaches the restoration of all things cast me aside as an upholder of the doctrine of predestination, and the latter believe that they can detect an inconsistency in my teaching concerning the election of grace. And yet, I do not hold to two conflicting doctrines, for I believe in the election of God according to the Scriptures; but instead of maintaining my view in the character of a point of doctrine, I rather preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a simple manner wherever I chance to be, and leave the separation to God.”

(Samuel H. Froehlich in Writings of Samuel Froehlich;  pp.432; “A Short Statement Wherein I Make Clear My Religious Convictions to the New English Continental Society In Answer to Six Questions Propounded by Them”;  published by The Heritage Center Foundation)

“I well know that the elect of God are preserved unto blessedness by the power of God; but who the elect are, in their persons, that we do not know. God alone knows and He knows them that are His, and I think that they who thus boast and insist are least of all the elect, because the former are humble and work out their salvation with fear and trembling.”

(Samuel H. Froehlich in Writings of Samuel Froehlich;  pp.493; “Hauptwyl April — 1836 From a letter to a brother in Ebenat”;  published by The Heritage Center Foundation)

No doubt, many of the things Froehlich said in these passages are horribly inconsistent with other things he’s said and he certainly does not follow the implications of these insights consistently. To be honest, his theology is severely muddled at certain points. But all these quotes are reflective of the fact that there are certain things in Ephesians and other Bible texts that you just can’t avoid (if you are committed to following the Bible wherever it goes, that is).   And Froehlich is honest enough to not avoid them.

Certainly Froehlich, for all his theological problems, to some extent saw the glorious divine grace which is electing grace towards those who, to quote the Westminster Confession of Faith,  “God hath predestinated unto life, and those only, He is pleased, in His appointed time, effectually to call, by His Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature to grace and salvation, by Jesus Christ; enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God, taking away their heart of stone, and giving unto them an heart of flesh….renewing their wills, and, by His almighty power, determining them to that which is good, and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ: yet so, as they come most freely, being made willing by His grace”.

It is evident that while Froehlich taught  some elements of the Reformed teaching on predestination, he was very inconsistent in how he worked that out, and I believe, was not so Biblical in the way he handled various implications/related issues pertaining to divine grace. He very much obscured what he said on election by many other things he taught. Froehlich is no longer around. But it would be a wonderful day when all those who came after Froehlich would concede the predestination evident in the glorious divine, electing grace of God, as reflected so clearly in Ephesians and elsewhere in the Bible.  And then perhaps at that time they could also be willing to go past Froehlich in not only following the Biblical texts into predestination but to continue and also follow the Biblical implications of this predestination (many of which Froehlich clearly did not grasp–or at least did not like).

I do not believe in Exclusive Psalmody (the belief that the church should only sing Psalms). I believe the church can and should make use of the rich history of non-inspired hymns in their worship. However I love the Psalms and I believe, in some ways, a rediscovery of the Psalms is one of the principle ways in which the Church can avoid the trends toward shallowness, hallowness, flippancy, and false doctrine in worship.  If the Church wants to be vibrant and healthy, it should frequently read, pray, and sing the Psalms. Ironically, some of the people who are most vocally against the use of human-authored creeds have no problem whatsoever departing from the God-inspired Psalms and focusing exclusively on human-authored songs. There is no problem with human-authored songs, but they should be Biblically faithful and they should not eclipse the Psalms or cause us to neglect them completely.

Here are some REASONS WHY WE SHOULDN’T NEGLECT THE PSALMS

1. They are God-inspired. They perfectly express the mind of God. They are undisputible in their Biblical accuracy and their emphasis. And they form a perfect cohension with the rest of the Bible, as Athanasius said they “[enjoy] an affinity and fellowship with the other books [of the Bible] which can not be equalled in any human-authored document”.

2. The Bible (even the New Testament) instructs us to sing them, by command and example. Eph.5:19, Col.3:16, and Jam.5:13. On reflecting on how to improve church worship services, Don Whitney stated “I had neglected a clear scriptural command. I’d been involved in the leadership of worship services for more than fifteen years before I realized what many Christians have long understood and entire denominational traditions have known for centuries: God commands us to sing psalms.”

3. They teach us how to pray, plead with God, and be earnest in our pursuit of God’s presence and godliness.

4. They reflect an amazing diversity and unity. They reflect different authors, many differing moods, differing emphasises, different historical contexts, and many topics. And yet there is a great unity of theme in them. They cover emotions, please, and aspects of worship that are rarely touched on in BOTH contemporary songs and old hymns.

5. The rich spirituality, devotion, wholeness, and insight into the human condition are rarely duplicated well in hymns new or old. The Psalms are unique, and one would expect them to be unique as God-inspired songs.  They are also
lyrically amazing, well-adapted to melody and what not. They are amazing, poetically speaking.

6. The vast number of Psalms and their richness provide a great pattern for godly hymns. But if we are not familiar with the Psalms, we will not understand this matter and consequently will not be able to apply these lessons into our own hymn writing and/or our evaluation of songs/hymns.

7. They serve to unite the people of God. When we sing the Psalms, we New Covenant believers are singing the very same songs that the Old Covenant believers sang. And when we sing the Psalms in the contemporary church, we are singing the very same songs as the Ancient Church. It helps us to see the unity and universality of the people of God throughout all ages. The singing of Psalms is historically grounded in the early church, the Reformation, and onwards.

8. They speak as loudly and clearly to New Covenant believers as they did to Old Covenant believers.  The first proof for this are the NT commands mentioned in point #2. The second proof is fact that “all scripture” is inspired and profitable, and the Psalms are Scripture. The third proof is the extensive use of the Psalms by the New Testament authors.  The NT authors quote Psalms more than any other Old Testament book, with probably around 100 direct quotations–and  thats not including indirect references! It was been estimated that about 7% of the New Testament is actually quotes from the Psalms! It’s almost as if you can’t read the New Testament without reading the book of Psalms. The fourth proof is the inherently Messianic nature of many of the Psalms. It is totally inaccurate to say that Christ is not in the Psalms!  Johnathan Edwards once said “The main subject of these songs [are] the glorious things of the gospel…the use that is made of them in the New Testament…Here Christ is spoken of in multitudes of songs.” Matthew Henry further said “In the book of Psalms there is so much of Christ and His gospel, as well as of God and His law, that it has been called the abstract or summary of both Testaments.”

9. They are versatile. Because they have been around so long, many time-tested methods of singing them and arranging them have developed, with a surprising amount of diversity. They also are versatile in that they can be used in all sorts of circumstances. And they can be used in various ways, prayed, read, and sung.

10. They are a vital reminder of our need to be grounded Biblically as we worship, we are not worshiping on a whim and what we sing must carefully reflect Biblical truth. This rootedness is very easy to forget when focus 100% on non-inspired songs.

Here are some PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS

1. Read the Psalms straight through as soon as you can and as often as you can. And pray through them. Learn from it how to express yourself to God, and many other lessons about spirituality and godliness. Learn what God loves and what God hates through the Psalms. Let the cries for deliverance and mercy and God’s presence become yours. Since there are so many Psalms, you could probably continually cycle through the Psalms and hardly notice the repetition.

2. Use the Psalms as the standard for Christian worship! Hymns appropriate for church worship should follow the pattern and have similar aims, emphasis, and approach to the Psalms. Hymns do not have to necessarily quote verbatim from the Psalms, but all good hymns should show the *influence* of the Psalms upon them.

3. Do not let old or new hymns completely crowd out the Psalms in worship! Any song book worth its weight should (a) have a lot of Psalms and (b) have a lot of hymns that are very Psalm-like or quote frequently from the Psalms. If there aren’t many Psalms in the hymn book, a Psalter designed for singing could also be used, like the one published by Crown & Covenant (http://www.crownandcovenant.com/) and there are many others.

4. Get some recordings of the Psalms being sung. Its a good way to listen to and remember God’s Word. There are a lot of good recordings. Wordmp3.com has “Cantus Christi Hymnal Collection”, which has acappella 4-part-harmony recordings of most of the Psalms. Crown & Covenant (http://www.crownandcovenant.com/) is also great for these sort of audio resources.

I hope that this has whet your appetite for the Psalms!!! I hope and pray that the church of today will have a deep appreciation of and love for the Psalms–in singing them, praying them, and reading them! And, having gotten that taste of the majesty of the Psalms, will not settle for any sort of flippant, hallow, or shallow worship.

Diligent Godliness

Throughout his second epistle, Peter speaks earnestly of the necessity of a Christ-centered diligence. We’ve received all that we need from God in Christ (1:3), but we are called to work this out into Christian virtue (1:5-8).

The listing of virtues (1:5-8) is not an abstract philosophical exercise, but has real implications not only in regard to the church’s glorious future but also its present  struggles. This theme of this moral diligence runs through the entire letter (see 1:5, 1:10, 3:14, 3:17, etc.) and it is very much related to what Peter is saying about false teachers in chapter two.

The pressure of damnable false teaching all the more necessitates strong teaching on moral excellence, since false teaching is not merely a matter of assenting to certain beliefs, but is very much at its core a moral issue. The teaching Peter was addressing involved a certain carnal way of thinking and a certain manner of life. When God’s people lack diligence, regardless of how much they know, they are susceptible to deception and even sound knowledge will not guard them from error. To Peter, advocating growth in godliness was very much a defense of the faith.

A Diligent Pastor & Apostle

However, there is another facet to diligence in II Peter. It is not limited to a general call to diligence in Christian virtue. There is also a discussion of Peter’s diligence as an apostle in reminding the recipients of certain important matters (1:12-15).

Peter had a grave responsibility to warn his people and encourage their spiritual development, particularly in light of the situation they faced.  He knew that immature and lacking believers make easy prey for false teachers, and he saw his responsibility before God for their well-being. He recognized that this responsibility extends to beyond his own life-span in the remembrance of his teachings. He would die, but through his pastoral diligence he would ensure that his influence did not stop there (1:14-15).

The Importance of Diligence

Hence, to sum this up, Peter holds up diligence as absolutely necessary both in the general Christian walk but also, through his example, diligence in the
tasks laid upon pastors.

As believers, our diligent pursuit of godliness has far-reaching implications on our usefulness to God (1:8) and our spiritual vision (1:9). It is God’s means of preserving us (1:10). And it has some surprising eschatological implications! (see 1:11 and 3:11-13)

[Theophilus] is probably a new convert to Christianity. So there is a wealthy, prominent, affluent, significant man who becomes a Christian. And what he’s wondering is, is it really true? Is Jesus really God? Did He do what I’ve heard he’s done?…he has a lot to lose in declaring himself to be a Christian because in that day Caesar was lord, and as a Christian he would declare: “not anymore. JESUS IS LORD”. And in that day he would say “my highest allegience is my nation” and upon meeting Jesus he would have to say, “no, my highest allegience  is to His kingdom”. And as a governer he would need to say “All religions are welcome, the worship of all gods is equal” and as a Christian, he would have to say “no, Jesus alone is God and savior”. This would get him in great trouble with his boss, Caesar. This could get him fired…maybe even in prison. This could cost him his income, his job, his prominence…

And so he is this man wrestling…with his faith…There’s a lot at stake. And so he contracts out, hires, funds, supports Luke. Fellow gentile, not a Jew, not looking for Messiah. Not predisposed. Educated, articulate man. Has access to apostles and the eyewitnesses and the disciples. And he says, “Luke, I need you to go find the truth. Go get the facts”…

Now, here’s what’s amazing: That was very expensive. This is a classic ancient way that someone who had been funded would acknowledge their benefactor. They would dedicate their play, their poetry, their book to their donor…So here’s what you’re supposed to understand. Theophilus paid for two books of the Bible to get written. He would have allowed Luke to take years off of work, I’m sure Luke kicked in his money as well, and to go do all the eyewitness investigation. Now think about this, 2,000 years later, had it not been for Theopholis’ generosity, we would be lacking the largest contribution to the entire New Testament.

I’ll tell you, one of the weaknesses at Mars Hill, actually one of the sins of Mars Hill is that this is a church that has not excelled in generosity. Now God’s been very generous to us, that’s for sure. But we’ve not been very generous, and in saying that some of you will be like “Oh, this is where he wants to take my money”. It’s not your money, it’s His, you’re a steward, and if it bothers you you’re an idolater. Let’s keep it simple, because you either worship your money, your status and possessions and wealth, or you worship with your money, your status, possesions, and wealth. It’s very simple. Theopholis was a man who gave generously for Luke to do his ministry

…a lot of libertarion theologians and the real hardcore liberals they’ll read Luke and say, “Well, that Gospel talks about the poor more than any other Gospel. It shows that Jesus was poor, Jesus loved the poor, and Jesus includes the poor, and Jesus is all about the poor.” And they forget that the only reason we know that is because the rich guy paid for the book that tells them that Jesus loves the poor.

You see, Christianity is not like the class warfare that you have been brainwashed in since infancy over here on the left coast. Rich people can love Jesus and they are supposed to give generously and poor people can love Jesus and they’re suppoesd to give generously, and sometimes it is rich people who pay for things so that poor people can know that Jesus loves them. That’s good. And Theophilus is that guy. I hope some of you earn a lot of money and are very very very generous…See, its not how much you make, it’s about what you do with it.

Now what Theopholis didn’t decide to do was to get a new camel with rims and get another vacation home…what he decided was: I need to find the facts about Jesus and I need to find and educated, objective, scholarly, academic historian and I need to just make an enormous financial sacrifice and let him go out and give me the facts. And we got two books of the Bible out of it. That’s wonderful, isn’t it? That 2,000 years later, a few billion of us on the earth claim to worship Jesus Christ as God, and so much of what we know about him, and how we function as a church comes from the books of Acts about the church and Luke about Jesus. Amazing. I want you to share in Theophilus’ joy. I want us to be, I want you to be, generous.
