Article referenced: &lt;a href="https://tabletalkmagazine.com/posts/by-good-and-necessary-consequence-2019-06/"&gt;https://tabletalkmagazine.com/posts/by-good-and-necessary-consequence-2019-06/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Manuscript:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to quickly differentiate between the classical (and proper) definition of biblical sufficiency and some of the less refined versions of this doctrine floating around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Westminster Confession of Faith Article 1.6 provides protestants with the classic definition:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man’s salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men. Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word: and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the Church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature, and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed. " - Westminster Confession of Faith 1.6&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This definition is excellent because it provides three important clarifications, at least two of which are typically lacking in more modern and general definitions of biblical sufficiency:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to scripture, there are principles derived from scripture that are to be held as part of God’s counsel. The WCF refers to these principles as things deduced from scripture that are “both good and necessary” implications. You can read more about this idea in this excellent article from Tabletalk Magazine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The use of scripture depends on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As the WCF puts it, “Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word.” When the confession speaks of the “saving understanding” of the revealed word, both salvation and sanctification are included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, let’s consider the biggest distinction between carefully defined classical sufficiency and some of the other definitions that while well-meaning, are less thought out. The confession concludes, “there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the Church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature, and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, this is an important detail. The true laws of nature (often discovered via observational science) are never to be understood as a competitor to God’s revealed word. This important wrinkle in the confession’s doctrine forces us to contend with a couple of problems:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scientists who malign God’s natural law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like all human endeavors, the sciences are filled with individuals who hate all of God’s laws (including natural law). In an ideal marketplace setting, scientists who hate natural law would quickly be out of businesses. For the basic definition of science requires the recognition of and submission to a fixed order of nature that is to be discovered via scientific efforts. Unfortunately, we live in a corrupted world that will, from time to time, incentivize and subsidize erroneous science. Again, my definition of erroneous science would begin with the rejection of natural law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good example of this kind of thing would be all of the confusion surrounding gender. In a more ideal world, any scientist that denies the existence of two genders, each with observable distinctions and roles, would be immediately rejected as a bad scientist. But there is currently enough corrupt funding within the scientific community that keeps disqualified people employed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scientists who misidentify God's natural laws.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to the real problem of disqualified scientists (those who reject natural law), we have another problem. Since we are fallen human beings, we will, even with the best intentions, make mistakes. The scientific world is full of false conclusions which stem not so much from hostility to God’s law, but rather plain old human error. The scientific data surrounding the role of cholesterol in heart disease is one example. In that case, classic confusions over causality and correlation combined with interests from drug companies created a momentum to misapply real scientific findings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The truth is that sin creates all sorts of potential misunderstandings of real data. Take for instance the data regarding suicidal ideation amongst people with gender dysphoria. For a number of years, this legitimate data was used to argue for “transitioning” children. Certain sinful presuppositions kept scientists from seeing that by definition, a child with gender dysphoria is extremely high in character trait neuroticism and is therefore far more likely to experience suicidal ideations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scientists who misapply their findings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The classical protestant position on epistemology states that the Holy Spirit is needed to illuminate both of God’s books to various degrees. So in addition to needing the Holy Spirit to produce a saving and sanctifying understanding of the scriptures, the Holy Spirit is needed to properly apprehend and apply certain truths we discover in the natural world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is one thing to discover real data in the natural world, and it is another to possess the wisdom necessary to know how to apply it properly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Going back to our example with gender, a scientist might correctly discern the differences and notice that the average woman has about a third of the upper body strength of the average man. This correct finding might lead to the incorrect determination that rape is encoded in the laws of nature (there are scientists who hold this position). One of the more common examples has to do with male monogamy. In some sense, there is a great deal of observable science that indicates men are not built for monogamy. In both of these examples, scientific failure emerges from a kind of materialistic interpretation of data that disregards the clear teaching of scripture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Key Takeaways:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The classical position on scriptural sufficiency includes a godly use of natural law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The main problem with so-called integrationism is not so much the use of external data as it is the three problems outlined above.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Puritans are the best example of a healthy integration of both natural and special revelation. In the average Puritan sermon or book, you will find true shepherding of souls that stands resolutely on the unique authority of the scriptures while also utilizing basic principles that support human flourishing as found in the light of nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be common for instance to see a Puritan prescribe “getting fresh air and sunlight” as a means of grace. This is very similar to what we see modeled in 1 Timothy 5:23 where Paul tells Timothy to “take a little wine for your stomach.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Antidotes to harmful integrationism:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A reverential respect for the majesty of God’s word. Every counselor must embrace the essential gratitude and honor for the bible as displayed in Psalm 119. The majority of integrationist errors stem from a dismissive attitude toward God’s glorious scriptures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A clear understanding of God’s word. The average integrationist, while well-meaning, is often tragically limited in the amount of bible they know and understand. This ignorance often manifests itself in an under-reliance on scriptures that God has provided on particular topics. Too often, we find integrationists making assumptions that the scriptures do not speak to a particular issue when they do. The consequence is a neglect of God’s best prescription for a problem and the issuance of something far less powerful and effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A carefulness regarding the binding of consciences. The Westminster Confession stipulates that some principles are to be held as authoritative for the Christian so long as they are both good and necessary outworkings of the scriptures themselves. One example would be the so-called love languages. In a marriage counseling situation, we could conceive of a counselor repeatedly instructing a husband to love his wife according to her love language and then, if he resists, using biblical language to shame him for his failure. The problem here is that the counselor is taking a principle that is arguably derived from natural observation, and prescribing those principles as the only way to obey God’s command to love your wife.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Antidotes to harmful sufficiency:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The main problem we will run into as we understand and apply the important doctrine of biblical sufficiency is that we will fail to follow the wise and nuanced definitions set up for us in classical documents like the WCF. This is often manifest in an attitudinal hostility toward natural law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As is often the case with lay-level teaching, you will find that in an effort to warn against sinful integrationism, an overly rigid explanation of biblical sufficiency emerges that is not in keeping with the longstanding and carefully defined position as staked out by the WCF and other confessions. This is understandable because in many ways, the doctrine of sufficiency (like many of the church’s doctrines) was articulated in reaction to something. Initially, the doctrine was outlined as a reaction to Roman Catholicism. More recently, the doctrine has been presented as a reaction to significant sin and corruption within the psychological community. And of course, whenever we see reaction, we should expect to see some overreaction. Such is the way of man!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But to be fair to the hard line sufficiency people, psychology is essentially a secularized version of Roman Catholicism. The therapist takes the role of priest. He has “secret wisdom” unavailable to the average person.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The deeper issues at play:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While outside the scope of this paper, it might help the reader to understand that much of this discussion is tangled up with a longstanding disagreement in the church regarding epistemology. The two sides of this debate are presuppositionalists vs. classical or Thomistic thinkers. Both sides have legitimate perspectives. The presuppositionalist believes that all human perception of truth is ultimately dependent on the Holy Spirit. They believe that man’s nature is so corrupted by sin that science itself becomes untenable without spiritual sight provided by the Spirit. The Thomistic side (named after Thomas Aquinas) argues that man’s falleness is not so total as to prevent him from reasoning out certain basic concepts communicated through nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is my opinion that when pressed to their most extreme applications, both approaches fail to adequately explain the totality of biblical data on the subject. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Presuppositionalism can tend to fuel an overly rigid doctrine of biblical sufficiency.
Thomism can tend to fuel an under appreciation of the necessity of the scriptures.&lt;/p&gt;

He introduces the concept of teleology, using the example of a coffee mug's design implying its purpose.
He shares an anecdote about his mother's tendency to decorate and her unusual habit of using a butter knife as a hammer, illustrating how things can be used for purposes they weren't designed for.
The sermon centers on 1 Corinthians 6:13-20, specifically the line "The body is for the Lord and the Lord for the body."
He addresses those struggling with sexual sin, arguing that the body isn't meant as a "playground" for endorphins and dopamine, even though it might seem to "work" for that purpose. He stresses the body's true purpose is to glorify God.
He then speaks to those struggling with physical ailments, emphasizing that the body's primary purpose isn't personal happiness, productivity, or wealth, but glorifying God.
He argues that focusing on what one can do to glorify God, even in sickness, is the key to finding joy, peace, and contentment.
He uses the analogy of a car with optional features, such as a crock pot, to illustrate that even if a body lacks certain functions, it can still fulfill its main purpose of glorifying God.
He then explores the phrase "the Lord for the body," suggesting it signifies a mutual relationship, like marriage. He posits that Christ took on a body to be crucified and resurrected, paving the way for believers to receive new, perfect bodies in glorification.
He offers comfort to those with chronic illnesses, emphasizing that the Lord has a plan for their bodies and they will one day be completely healed. He reiterates that sickness doesn't hinder the body's primary purpose of glorifying God.
The sermon encourages listeners to repeatedly surrender their bodies to the Lord, focusing on what they can do to glorify Him, even in the midst of suffering. It concludes with the hopeful promise of future healing and glorification, where the body will be fully aligned with its divine purpose.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

        &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speaker: &lt;/strong&gt;Chris Oswald&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt; 6th April 2025&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Passage: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14%3A1-16%3A33&amp;amp;version=ESV"&gt;John 14:1-16:33&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the greatest preaching and teaching in the history of the church was polemic in nature. That is to say it was oriented toward correcting heresy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An example would Irenaeus’ work: Against Heretics. Spurgeon did this when he opposed Marxism. One of the best sermon’s I’ve ever heard was preached by the baptist great WA Crisswell who preached a sermon at the Southern Baptist Convention aimed directly at theological liberalism.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today I’m going to be talking about the Holy Spirit. And I’m going to attempt to preach a polemical sermon. Meaning, I’m going to preach against something. Namely, the errors related to the Holy Spirit that are at work in the hypercharismatic movement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By hypercharismatics, I am mostly referring to the movement known as New Apostolic Reformation. IHOP was part of that, as is Bethel. And there are several other groups loosely connected. This appears to be a growing movement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In 2015, there were about 3 million American Christians connected to NAR churches. Some estimates put that number at 33 million today. Whatever the number, we can say:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A lot of these folks live in Kansas City. And due to the IHOP stuff, a lot of them are rethinking all of this. In one sense, this sermon could help you help them. And obviously, I am eager to protect from their errors as well.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three things about polemical preaching.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Firstly, it needs to be firm.
Titus 2:11-15 says, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secondly, it needs to be gentle.
2 Timothy 2:24-26 says, And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So we won’t be offering these critiques in a particularly spicy way.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thirdly, it must use the error to proclaim and clarify the truth.
While we do hope that some people will receive correction, the real value of polemical preaching is that it offers a kind of “not this but that” format that winds up clarifying key truths and further edifying believers who aren’t themselves in error. Today, we’re going to use the errors at work in the New Apostolic Reformation movement as a kind of contrast to the truths we see taught by Jesus in John 14-16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three problems with the hyper-charismatic movement as it relates to their functional relationship with the Holy Spirit.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A failure to distinguish the apostolic age from this current age
A false division between the spirit and the word
A failure to emphasize Christ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apostolic Uniqueness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The NAR error on this account amounts to their insistence of total continuity between the apostolic age and our current age. They think the office of apostle continues today as it did back in the early church. The traditional view, which I think is the correct view, says otherwise.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Think of it this way, as we’ve studied the words of Jesus, given primarily to the apostles, there’s a kind of elephant in the room.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are these promises directed at the apostles or to all believers?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a sense in which the apostles are just like us. Peter calls himself a fellow shepherd. The apostles refer to themselves as brothers and co-laborers with the other Christians.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But there is another sense in which they were special. They were given unique apostolic authority and anointing. They performed miracles of unique quality, quantity, and predictability. Most importantly, they wrote the scriptures.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The apostles are like us in that we all are saved the same way.
They are unlike us in that they held a unique place in the development of the church.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That’s what we believe. That the apostles were a unique group of men who existed for a specific period of time. They had two qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they were eyewitnesses to the resurrected Christ (Acts 1:21-22; 1 Corinthians 9:1)
they were directly commissioned by Jesus to speak and write with foundational authority for the church (Galatians 1:1; 2 Peter 3:2).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This aligns with Ephesians 2:20, where the church is "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets," a foundation we see as being laid once for all in the first century.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This affects how we view Jesus’ words, especially during his farewell discourse. Here’s how I would propose you think about this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For the apostles, Jesus gives particulars.
For the rest of us, Jesus gives patterns.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Perhaps the most obvious example of this has to do with the Great Commission. The apostles literally did go from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria to the outermost parts. For the church at large, that same text serves as a more general pattern.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In John 16:1-4, we see another example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That literally happened to the apostles. It figuratively or metaphorically happens to all disciples (you will be excluded and persecuted).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here’s another example. Look at vs. 12&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When directed toward the apostles, this promise predicts the formation of the New Testament. They received divine revelation from the Holy Spirit as they wrote the books of the NT. They were carried along by the Holy Spirit writing inspired inerrant divine revelation. That’s the particular fulfillment of Jesus’ words.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But there’s also something there for us. Something more like a pattern. When directed toward us, the idea moves from being revelation to illumination. For the apostles, the Holy Spirit gave them the words of Christ to write (which is revelation). We are beneath the apostles in this regard and instead of revelation, the Holy Spirit provides illumination of God’s word.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Illumination means that the Holy Spirit opens our spiritual eyes to the existing scriptures to help us understand and apply them in a way that pleases God.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which brings us to the second critique of NAR. Jesus tells us that the Holy Spirit’s main way of helping us involves illuminating the word of God to us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

When the student is ready, the teacher will arrive.
God is faithful to provide mentors when you need them.
Hustle attracts help
Do the best with what you have and people will help you hit the next level
Pray for wisdom
Be willing to work for wisdom (Proverbs 20:5, 27:7)
Remember the concept of Mission Compatibility.
Find someone who is doing what you want to do (but is doing it at a more advanced stage/scope).
Mentorships should be reciprocal (not even, but somewhat transactional - with ever increasing reciprocity)
Surround yourself with people of all ages who share your basic life mission.
God mostly calls us to love people with the things we love.
When you need highly specific help, try to find someone who loves doing that sort of thing.
The local church is awesome.
God loves to give wisdom -- ask him without doubting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

This is false. The proper way to describe the general northern position would be to say that they were generally against slavery. Abolitionism was a particularly aggressive position within the larger, anti-slavery camp.&lt;/p&gt;
