Doug Wilson: You must, you can’t – Jesus did! The Gospel is good news!
Here is a sermon clip from the sermon, Encouragement in God, preached October 2nd, at Christ Church, in Moscow, Idaho. In this clip, Pastor Wilson talks about the two tendencies in Christendom: The imperative to obey the law (“you must, you must, you must [perform good works]) and the belief that you can’t (you can’t, you can’t, you can’t [obey the law], so don’t try.).
Why the beards?
Ask Doug: Why do “Fv-ers” (Federal Vision advocates) all seem to have beards?
Peter Leithart update
People have been inquiring about what happened with the Peter Leithart’s trial. The short of it is that it was a closed case until the verdict is given. All those present were asked to not discuss the case until after the verdict is given, which is slated for sometime in October.
Thanks for your prayers, and keep praying.

Peter Leithart Trial
On June 3–4, the Pacific Northwest Presbytery (PNW) of the PCA is conducting a trial to determine whether or not Dr. Peter Leithart, pastor of Trinity Reformed Church, in Moscow, Idaho (CREC) has views contrary to the Westminster Standards. Please pray that God would be glorified through these proceedings.
Specifically, please pray that:
- If there is indeed heresy, the accused would see it clearly, and repent.
- If the concerns raised are unfounded, and no heresy is found, that this would come clearly to light, and that all may walk away giving thanks to God.
- If it comes to light that false accusations were made, please pray that those men would acknowledge it, repent, and remedy the affects of their false accusations to the best of their abilities.
- That all those involved in this trial would honor the authorities over them, allowing for a fair trial, and respecting the outcome, even if in disagreement.
Sola Deo Gloria.
