Yep – thought I sent it. Will get one in the mail in case I simply lost the plot.

Hi Mike,

Your recent post reminded me that I forgot to remind you to send me the lectures. I sent the email with my address is a long time ago now though so don’t worry if you don’t have any spares left.

Mike, this is all very helpful and fills out our conversation on your previous post on “merit.” I’m still chewing on the substitution, sacrificial aspects of the death of Jesus in all this. Thanks for your work!

That’s OK. Britain needs it.

That is a dangerous offer to make. I should probably inform you that I’m from the UK! I’ll let you retract the offer at this point if you wish

I have some spare “official” DVD sets. If you’d like one, send me your postal address through the contact page.

Yeah, see, this is where the RCs score brownie points. They’re straight up with the love talk and it is all very biblical. I think half our problems come with the things we associate with words like “obedience” and “covenant faithfulness”. I guess you’re right, we interpret them in legalistic ways because of our warped minds. God is just a loving father who wants what is best for us!

Never heard the lectures on Revelation, only read his small reader’s guide and a few of his and Leithart’s articles, which I have found to be really good.

Have you listened to Jordan on Revelation 20? Truly awesome.

For sure – yes I do understand that’s what you meant. But it took me a while to figure out that’s what these guys mean by “faithfulness.” The idea of obeying “because thou art under Covenant” doesn’t communicate the transformative power of God’s love. So we end up with either an antinomian sort of love or a legalistic sort of obedience. We really are a piece of work, us sinners.
