Testimony: God’s Story or Our Story

Last week on the White Horse Inn, a weekly radio show on Reformed Theology, the panel of hosts led by Dr. Micheal Horton, discussed the issue of testimonies. The producer of the show went to a recent conference and asked a question: Do you you witness by talking about God’s story or your own story? It was surprising how many people answered, asserting that their testimonies are their persoanl experience and that people cannot take that away. There was only one response that testified to God’s work in redemption by sending His son to die on a cross for the forgiveness of sins and to redeem His people.

Indeed, their is often change when the Holy Spirit applies the truth of the Gospel to a sinners heart. Noless than a complete trun around from being a rebel sinner to now a child of God who rejioces in the truth of the Gospel. It just show that man, even when trying to share the Gospel, often put to much focus on themselves rather than the historical redemptive truth of God’s Word.

WHI is an amazing radio program, and I have benefitted from it a lot over the last three years.

First Year at WSC

Finals week is over at Westminster Seminary California and I am excited to have completed the first year of rigorous study in preparation for ministry. Its been a challenging year but I believe its vital to have this training to grow in this call to pursue an MDiv degree. I haven’t blogged in awhile due to the workload but I am compelled to write about the experience thus far to reflect on the year and to see the Gospel worked out in life and ministry. He who knew no sin became sin that He may present His people before God, granting them imputed righteouness and access to the father. I pray that God’s Word is preached faithfully  and humbly because it is easy to forget what He has done in Christ Jesus- to redeem His people.
