What Are the “Means of Grace”?
In this blog post, I explain question 88 of the Shorter Catechism, which is about “the outward and ordinary means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption.”
Fall Conference
Our conference will be held on September 25th-26th (Friday evening and Saturday through the mid-afternoon). The theme will be “Man, Woman, and Family.” You can find more details on the conference website at this link. The speakers will be myself and two other pastors, Brian De Jong (Grace OPC in Sheboygan, WI) and Mike Myers (Heritage OPC in Royston, GA). The location will be Liberty Church in O’Fallon, MO. You can register at this link.
The Sunday after the conference, September 27th, is the Sunday on which our normal meeting location is closed for annual maintenance. So we will meet, with our normal Sunday schedule, at Liberty Church on Sunday 27th.
Quotes
“[Solomon built the temple] in pursuance of his father’s good intentions, which he never had an opportunity to put into execution … Temple-work is often thus done; one sows and another reaps (John 4:37–38), one age begins that which the next brings to perfection. And let not the wisest of men think it any disparagement to them to pursue the good designs which those that went before them have laid, and to build upon their foundation. Every good piece is not an original.”
– Matthew Henry, on 2 Chronicles 6:1-11
“Judging by much of present-day evangelistic preaching one would think that the sum total of the church’s efforts toward world conquest consists in seeking to persuade the unsaved to receive Christ as Saviour. That is indeed a most important aspect of world conquest, but it is by no means the whole of it. The church must proclaim Christ also as Lord and demand of men everywhere that they bend the knee in homage before Him and walk in obedience to His law.”
“Scripture teaches the mediatorial kingship of Christ. It is not merely a kingship over believers but a kingship of a far more comprehensive kind. … That kingship of its Head the church must proclaim. It must require of men everywhere that they acknowledge Him as Head of all things, as King over every domain of their lives.”
– R.B. Kuiper, The Glorious Body of Christ

Covenant Family Church is a conservative, Bible-believing, and elder-governed congregation located in Wentzville, MO which seeks to evangelize the lost and equip those who have been converted to walk worthy of their calling in Christ. 
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church continues to be vigorous in its defense and propagation of the historic Christian faith, particularly as it was articulated by the Protestant Reformers of the 16-17th centuries.
