The video of this post is from the YouTube site, Ligonier Ministries.
Sinclair Ferguson talks about the necessity of having proper religious affections in his brief video.
There is a link to posts in this blog on Jonathan Edwards book, Religious Affections, for those who would know more. Also, Things Unseen podcast is linked below.
Highlights of video:
- In a sermon by Thomas Chalmers: The Expulsive Power of a New Affection, he emphasized that such is needed to help us love the world less
- In seeing that we have such a problem the solution is not to beat ourselves up
- He told a story about police watching a nativity scene because the baby Jesus had been stolen the year before – that is a hint about our real problem
- Jesus has been stolen
- He is the power of a new affection
