Shekinah Church

We are a community of Christian believers, who are in association with John Knox Presbyterian Church. We are committed to:

• The Bible as our only rule of faith and practice. It is inerrant, infallible, inspired by God in its original autographs, and preserved by Him for His people throughout the ages.
• The Westminster Standards, which include the doctrines of grace, which are known by the acronym T.U.L.I.P
• The preaching of The Word, the exercise of Church discipline, and the right celebration of the sacraments.

Agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, with the assistance of commissioners  from the Church of Scotland, as a part of the covenanted uniformity in religion between the Churches of Christ in the kingdoms of Scotland, England, and Ireland and approved Anno 1648, by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, to be a directory for catechising such as have made some proficiency in the knowledge of the grounds of religion, with The Proofs from the Scripture. 
Assembly at Edinburgh, July 2, 1648. Sess. 10. Act approving the Larger Catechism.

 

Q. 94 – Is there any use of the moral law to man since the fall?

A. 94 – Although no man, since the fall, can attain to righteousness and life by the moral law:[402] yet there is great use thereof, as well common to all men, as peculiar either to the unregenerate, or the regenerate.[403]

HEIDELBERG CATECHISM QUESTION OF THE WEEK

The Heidelberg Catechism, written in 1563, originated in one of the few pockets of Calvinistic faith in the Lutheran and Catholic territories of Germany. Conceived originally as a teaching instrument to promote religious unity in the Palatinate, the catechism soon became a guide for preaching as well. It is a remarkably warm-hearted and personalized confession of faith, eminently deserving of its popularity among Reformed churches to the present day.
