The theme of the conference is “Free Indeed!” Freedom? Liberty? From what has the Christian been freed? How far does our freedom in Christ extend? What of the law? Is liberty the same as license? Does this liberty protect the conscience of the Christian? Is civil disobedience godly?
The annual Reformed Congregational Fellowship Pastors’ Conference will be April 14-16, 2015 at the Salvation Army Wonderland Conference Center, Sharon, MA. It is a pastors’ conference, but men and women non-pastors desiring to dig deeper into spiritual truths are welcome to attend.
The theme of the conference is “Free Indeed!” Freedom? Liberty? From what has the Christian been freed? How far does our freedom in Christ extend? What of the law? Is liberty the same as license? Does this liberty protect the conscience of the Christian? Is civil disobedience godly? There will be six presentations by pastor colleagues that will encourage lively and collegial discussion.
The following papers will be presented, based on the Savoy Declaration, Chapter 21, “Of Christian Liberty, and Liberty of Conscience.”
- The Divine Purchase: Redeemed from the Curse of the Law and This Present Evil World (Doug Vickers)
- The Administration of the Covenant of Grace in the Ceremonial Law (Rick Daniels)
- From Legal Obedience to Gospel Obedience: The Grace of God that Teaches us to Say No to Ungodliness and Worldly Passions (Bob Hall)
- “He Who Was Free… Is a Slave of Christ”: The Use and Abuse of a Pauline Metaphor (Ross Macdonald)
- Jeremiah Burroughs and Liberty of Conscience: “Let not violence be used to force people to things spiritual that they know not.” (Steve Weibley)
- Taking a Stand: Civil Disobedience and the Christian (Kirk van der Swaagh)
