    Post I Have Received a Call and Have Accepted

    To my PB Brothers and Sisters,

    Just a small announcement and praise to let you know that I have been called to be the Pastor of Harvest Reformed Church, RCUS in Minot, ND.

    I have Classis exams the first week of March and upon my successful passing of these exams will begin in Minot the 5th of April.

    Blessings,

    Benjamin,

    I have a dear friend who pastors in Minot. He is currently doing a DMin at RTS Charlotte. He is a hair breadth away from joining the PCA... he's already given his current denomination notice that he no longer affirms without reservation their statement of faith.

    Please contact me and I'll give you his info. He is truly a great guy.

    How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship?

    On behalf of the consistory and congregation of Harvest Reformed Church, Minot, ND, I want to thank God for using the PB as the means by which we connected with Benjamin in this matter of calling him to be our pastor. I believe God has blessed this man and will use him mightily in Minot. May God use him to gather in part of His harvest here in ND.
    I'm also very thankful that Benjamin is not afraid of winter and on his visit here, God providentially gave him a taste of a true ND winter with record breaking below zero temperatures and a blizzard and that did not deter him from accepting the call.
    Please pray for Benjamin in his preparation for his licensure exam and his move to Minot.

    Christians are like snow covered dung; it is the purity of the covering which the Father sees. -Luther-
    There is nothing more ugly than a Christian orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.

    Here is found the most fundamental difference between liberalism and Christianity:
    liberalism is altogether in the imperative mood, while Christianity begins with a triumphal indicative;
    liberalism appeals to man's will, while Christianity announces, first, a gracious act of God.

    Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. Ecclesiastes

    Congrats. This really must be a calling. I checked out Minot on google map and the place is near Canada. Yikes. I even checked out the avg temperature and began shivering in a 80 degrees heated office.

    Will definitely be praying for you Benjamin.

    "Ignorance of this distinction between Law and Gospel is one of the principal sources of the abuses which corrupted and still corrupt Christianity." - Calvin's successor


    "By the words of the law man is admonished and taught, not what he can do, but what he ought to do. How is it that you theologians are twice as stupid as schoolboys, in that as soon as you get hold of a single imperative verb you infer an indicative meaning...?"
