Hello All,

I was recently invited to speak at the Old Paths History Conference on the topic of Reformation and Resistance. The material includes a discussion of relevant topics used by the Reformers and Puritans in fighting tyranny and despotism, as well as a review of historic declarations of independence, the deposition of Mary de Guise by the Scottish Parliament, and Beza's work On the Rights of the Magistrate. This study also includes a discussion of the manner in which the American Founding Fathers borrowed directly and explicitly from Reformed socio-political thought regarding resisting tyranny.

By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life, and others foreordained to everlasting death.

Gord,

They should download to play in MP3 format. Let me know if they don't, and I'll get them fixed.

Cheers,

Adam

This is very cool...thanks for sharing this with us!

Welcome!

I fixed the links Gord. They are now MP3s.

Cheers, and thanks for your question!

Excellent messages. Good job linking the birth of our country with the Reformation. All too often Christians disparage what the founding fathers did, calling them misguided rebels. If this is the case, then this designation would equally apply to the German reformers at Magdeburg, the reformed Dutch in the low countries, the Huguenots in France, the Puritans in England and the Covenanters in Scotland. Not bad company.

Thanks for the links.

Excellent points! Welcome for the links!

hmmm...I am unable to listen to them from that site. Is there another way I can hear them?

Sean,

You have to download them to your computer, and then listen to them on whatever equipment you have. They download as MP3 files, and you should have something on your computer to play MP3s.

Cheers,
