From the Show

Anything that is pointing to Jesus Christ as the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world in intelligible language that anyone, believer or unbeliever, can understand that is something we can talk about. But again, remember how the false prophets were described in Jeremiah 23 verse 18, “For who among them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and to hear his word, or who has paid attention to his word and listened?” The job of Adriel and myself as ministers in the Lord’s church is not to come up with new words or new practices but to actually listen to the word of the Lord that he has revealed once and for all.

—Michael Horton
