  I've been trying to find the music that matches the piece I hear on your website's flash introduction.  Where can I find this?

The piece is "Fireworks/Water Music" by George Frederick Handel.  It is the Minuet 1.

 

Are you a 501(c)3 non-profit company?

No. Government control of the Church in any form is an error called Erastianism.  The Westminster Assembly deemed this serious error in lieu of the government of the church.

 

You have a site with allot of information.  What are your credentials?

My background and credentials can be found here:  McMahon Biography

 

  I am a Baptist who is looking for some short but helpful information on Covenant Theology.  What would you say is the most helpful work out there on the subject?

For a short work try this:  
A Simplistic View of Covenant Theology

For a summary of Herman Witsius' work, "The Economy of the Covenants Between God and Man" look here.

To buy the best book on Covenant Theology, order Herman Witsius' work, "The Economy of the Covenants Between God and Man".  It is available at www.cvbbs.com or www.heritagebooks.org 

 

  Can I copy some of your articles for church groups and for teaching?

Sure, just email me and let me know what you want to use.

 

I hear you are doing some missions work.  Can you tell me more?

I go to Peru, and other third world countries, once a year to facilitate and preach at a pastor's conference there.  More information on this can be found on this web page:  Peru Mission Trip

 

I hear you retracted from being a "Reformed Baptist."  Do you have anything that describes your change of mind?

This link will provide both my articles as well as others: Covenant Theology and Infant Baptism

 

What church are you a member of and Pastor at?

Christ Presbyterian Church  (RPCGA)  I am "Scholar in Residence" at our church and preach bi-monthly, as well as hold conferences over the weekend on puritan and theological topics.

 

What are the best Reformed Seminaries, in your opinion, in the US?  See also FAQ #23 below.

Whitefield Theological Seminary (I am currently the Professor of Church History for the Puritan History and Theology Ph.D.)

Westminster Theological Seminary Texas and California Extensions

Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary  

Knox Theological Seminary

Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

Reformed Theological Seminary (Some of the time)

 

Where can I buy good Reformed books at low prices?

The Top 3 (IMHO):

Cumberland Valley Bible Book Distributors 

Reformation Heritage Books

Still Waters Revival Books

 

 

I hear that you offer a number of Reformation Christian Items online.  Where can I find these?

Everything on one DVD

Reformed T-Shirts

Learning Charts For covenant Theology

Audio Sermons and Teachings

Old Puritan Works Updated and Written for Digital CDs
Puritan CD 1
Puritan CD 2
Puritan CD 3

 

Do you have any idea where I can find frameable pictures (5x7 or 8 1/2x11) of guys from church history (Spurgeon, Calvin, Luther, Hus, Tyndale)?  I want to choose 4-5 for my study walls.

Email me and I can tell you what I can do for you in that department.  I have many of them hanging on my own walls.


There are great articles here in your website.  Will you ever make these articles in printer friendly format?

I do not believe that Classic Arminianism is heresy.  What do you think about this?

My thoughts about Arminianism

 

Who are your favorite Puritans?

My Favorite Puritans

 

Can you refer me to an article or book for folks who "think" they are Christians, but by all indications are probably NOT?

Three good books:

Eternity Weighed in the Balance, by C. Matthew McMahon
or
A Sure Guide to Heaven, by Alleine
or
Almost a Christian by Matthew Mead.

You say you are a Bible-believing Christian, but you seem to hold the "Confession" in high regard, almost as much as Scripture.  Don't you believe in Sola Scriptura?

Sola Scriptura in a Nutshell

 

Have you written any books?

Eternity Weighed in the Balance

A Simple Overview of Covenant Theology

Overcoming Lust in a Sex-Crazed World

The Two wills of God

More...

 

Do you have a bulletin board or Web board to chat on?

Yes.  www.puritanboard.com  We have about 1500 members discussing over 60,000 topics on Reformed Theology and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Do you read contemporary Authors?  Who do you like?

Yes.  But very few.  I like Alister McGrath and his work on church history.  I like some of what Iain Murray has written historically, and I also like some of the OPC ministers who write on Subscriptionism.  My favorite "alive author" is Richard Muller.  His work, "Post Reformation Dogmatics" is by far the best set to date in the last 50 years on theology.

What Reformed Seminaries and colleges would you Recommend looking at for study?

A friend on our Puritanboard named Seth Stark put together this helpful chart on seminaries and colleges that have Reformed confessions and Reformation teaching as a general rule.  Some are more or less Reformed, but at least this is a good starting place to check your options.
