“The Government of the Churches of Christ” Chapter 4b by Thomas Goodwin

On Friday mornings at 5:30am we read through books by faithful Christians from church history. We are currently reading through Volume 11 of Thomas Goodwin’s Works, “Of the Constitution, Right Order, and Government of the Churches of Christ.” 

Today’s reading was from the second half of chapter 4

Chapter 4b: “What power spiritual or ecclesiastical is. – Of the nature of a divine institution, – How the knowledge of divine institutions is derived to us, that we may be assured what are truly and really such.”
