Ask FGBC #60: How Necessary is Seminary for Pastors?
How essential is seminary training for pastoral ministry, and what qualifications truly matter for those called to preach God's Word? While seminary education is not an absolute biblical requirement—as evidenced by Christ's apostles and self-taught giants like Spurgeon—the church's role as "the pillar and ground of the truth" demands pastors who are genuinely "apt to teach" and capable of laboring faithfully in sound doctrine. The central issue is not educational credentials but theological competence, with seminary training serving as valuable preparation for the weighty responsibility of feeding Christ's sheep through faithful exposition of Scripture.

The Authority of Christ Over the Demons
Christ's authority over the demonic kingdom is the central demonstration Matthew presents in chapter 8, where two men reduced to a subhuman, tomb-dwelling existence are liberated by a single word from the Son of God. The passage exposes both the wretchedness of Satanic bondage — no glamour, only madness, nakedness, and self-destruction — and the sufficiency of Christ's power to deliver the most apparently irredeemable sinners. The sermon draws a direct line from the Gadarene demoniacs to Paul's confession in 1 Timothy 1:15, arguing that the same sovereign grace that rescues the most visibly ruined also reaches the self-righteous religious man who trusts in his own standing before God. Parents, youth, and all hearers are urged to flee the occult, resist the devil through gospel proclamation, and rest in the one whose word alone — 'Go' — dismantles the kingdom of darkness.

The Children of Covenant Liberty
Why would anyone seek salvation through law when the law itself testifies to salvation by promise alone? Paul confronts the Galatians with this piercing irony as they drift toward Judaizing error, using Abraham's two sons to expose the fundamental distinction between covenant bondage and covenant liberty. Through careful allegory, he demonstrates that Ishmael and Isaac represent two entirely different covenants—the legal Mosaic covenant that produces only slavery, and the covenant of grace that births true freedom in Christ. Christians must cast out every vestige of legal confidence and stand fast in the liberty that belongs exclusively to the children of promise.
The Command for the Conquest
2LCF Chap.19 Of the Law of God
The moral law of God, written on the human conscience at creation, is trans-covenantal in its binding authority — obligating all people in every age, including justified believers under the new covenant. This confession study of 2LCF Chapter 19 traces the threefold division of Old Covenant law (moral, ceremonial, judicial), the divinely designed obsolescence of the ceremonial and judicial laws at Christ's first advent, and the abiding utility of the moral law in its civil, pedagogical, and normative functions. Christ stands at the centre of the law's story as its giver, its perfect active and passive obedient fulfiller, and the one who by his Spirit now governs the hearts of his people in cheerful, free compliance with what the law requires.
