I would like to introduce myself and give greetings to all PB members. I discovered this site a month ago or so as I sought information about a particular topic. I find the PB site tremendous and the threads practical and thought provoking. It is great to have such wide ranging views yet all contained within the reformed context. It has been a benefit to learn from so many others and I hope I can contribute something worthwhile when I can.

I was born and brought up in Edinburgh but unfortunately did not appreciate the fine history of my own city whilst living there. Having studied theology at college and spent ten years on the mission field I am now living in Lisburn, Northern Ireland and attend Lambeg Baptist church where I serve as an elder. I am married to Carol and we have three boys currently aged between 15-21

I have found studying the Puritans enriching, heart warming, reassuring and just love their many memorable quotes which cause the mind to focus on a particular part of Christ's person and work.

I look forward to many opportunities to learn from you all.

Stuart

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).
