RTS Jackson

This Week on Wisdom Wednesday: Dr. David Irving, President of RTS Jackson and Assistant Professor of Church History and Pastoral Theology, shares how students can guard their hearts while preparing for a lifetime of ministry. He encourages three priorities: remain rooted in corporate worship, maintain a consistent devotional life in prayer and Scripture, and approach academic studies devotionally. Seminary should not produce a big head and a cold heart, but faithful servants who know and love the triune God. Watch the full video at bit.ly/3Ps3Ynl . . .

David’s prayer reminds us that true repentance is a matter of the heart. God alone cleanses and restores, renewing our spirits and upholding us by his grace. Even in our failure, he preserves us and restores the joy of salvation according to his steadfast purposes. . . . Reformed Theological Seminary Repentance God’s Grace Faithful Living

At RTS, seminary isn’t just about what happens in the classroom. Our students are connected to healthy local churches where they are known, discipled, and given real opportunities to serve. As they learn to love and teach scripture, they are also leading, serving, and being poured into by their church communities. Because preparing for faithful ministry means growing alongside the people you’re called to serve. Learn more about all eight RTS campuses at bit.ly/4sixF8R . . .

This Week on Wisdom Wednesday Dr. John Fesko, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, answers the question, "What are the benefits of holding to the Westminster Standards in our present day?" He reminds us that the Westminster Standards are subordinate to Scripture and point us back to the Bible as our chief authority. They also unite us with the church across the ages and provide a full, coherent summary of biblical doctrine in a culture tempted to pick and choose what to believe.

Jesus meets us in our need with mercy that does not waver and friendship that does not fail. “Jesus! What a Friend for sinners” reminds us that our hope is not in ourselves or in others, but in a Savior who saves, helps, keeps, and loves his people to the very end. . . .
