“ Great Sermon! ”
The Lord has used Dr. Beeke so powerfully in my life, because his messages are so devotional and he preaches biblical truth clearly. The glory of God is central to the messages and in this particular sermon, parts 1 & 2, he doesn't get involved with debating the different end times views concerning the millennium or anything. He just preaches orthodox, historic, and biblical eschatology, which assumes the fact that the millennium is the gospel age of grace in which we now live, and reveals the fact that when Christ comes again, that day is the final Day of Judgment. And so everyone must repent now and believe in the only Lord and Savior. The teachings of Christ's coming are intended to invoke fear and trembling to those unsaved that they may turn to Him, because when He comes, it's over and there will be no further opportunity ever for salvation, because that begins the eternal state. But to those who belong to Him the promise of His coming is our blessed hope. I personally believe any other view of Christ's coming or the end is misleading and therefore a lie of the devil. The King is coming! |

“ Some problems - Part 2 ”
(....continued)
The term is used as an umbrella term to cover many groups. Unfortunately, this led to a talk that paints with an overly broad brush, while being overly colored by the speaker’s own bad experiences when applying its modern implications. The speaker would have been better served by interacting more with specific primary sources, and creating more separation amongst very disparate groups by doing so.
The speaker is a good orator and is engaging, but overall I would not recommend this talk to others as a good overview of the topic. There are certainly good parts, but enough conclusions that don’t match my own study in the primary sources and my own experiences give me pause. (And contrary to the speaker’s claim, I can point you to a number of good, completely orthodox theology books from a mennonite perspective! I recommend starting with Daniel Kauffman.) |

“ Some Problems - Part 1 ”
I am commenting on this message (and part 2) as a Reformed Baptist pastor who has a Mennonite background and has read significantly in the early anabaptists.
First, these messages are very colored by the speaker’s background in a very fringe, seemingly cult-like group that apparently classifies themselves as anabaptist. The experiences he describes are very different from anything I have seen in mennonite circles. His experiences are certainly his experiences, but be aware that they don’t in any way represent any type of “normal” anabaptist experience.
Also, I wondered early in his first talk if he had been influenced by Jim Renihan in his views, as it seemed to be present. Lo and behold, a bit later in the talk he mentioned being in Renihan’s class. Accordingly, despite being presented at a conference on the history of the baptists, there is no mention of the influence of Menno Simon’s writings on the First London Confession. Renihan minimizes this connection, but as someone who has studied Simon’s writings, that influence is undeniably present and easily recognizable.
The “junk drawer” analogy on how the term anabaptist is used historically is a good one (and one I had never heard before, so I’m assuming it is original to the speaker). (continued....) |
