Galatians 2:20 20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that `life' which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, `the faith' which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. / New King James Version A Declaration of the True Manner of Knowing Christ Crucified - Puritan William Perkins Top 10 Most Popular Sermons (Playlist): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzOwqed_gET3I_hiobSa2ftDDZZW-HoD7 Charles Spurgeon Sermon Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCDB844A9113F938C Puritans (Playlist): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL147B764889A13CCA ▶️SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/stack45ny ▶️After subscribing, click on NOTIFICATION BELL to be notified of new uploads. ▶️SUPPORT CHANNEL: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=RB72ANM8DJL2S&lc=US&item_name=stack45ny¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted My Primary Backup Sites: ▶️GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/christianty ▶️odysee: https://odysee.com/@RichMoore ▶️My WordPress blog: https://sermonsandsongsdotorg.com/ ▶️Telegram: https://t.me/ChristianSermonsAndAudioBooks My Secondary Backup Sites: ▶️Battle for God's Truth https://battleforgodstruth.blogspot.com/ ▶️RUMBLE https://rumble.com/c/c-278901 ▶️Battle for God and His Truth: http://battleforgodstruth.tumblr.com/ ▶️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AidenW.Tozer ▶️Christian Devotional Readings: https://www.facebook.com/ChristianDevotionalReadings ▶️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richmoore63/ The Art of Prophesying - Puritan William Perkins William Perkins was born in 1558 to Thomas and Hannah Perkins in the village of Marston Jabbett, in Bulkington parish, Warwickshire. As a youth, he indulged in recklessness, profanity, and drunkenness. In 1577, he entered Christs College in Cambridge as a pensioner, suggesting that socially he nearly qualified as gentry. He earned a bachelors degree in 1581 and a masters degree in 1584. While a student, Perkins experienced a powerful conversion that probably began when he overheard a woman in the street chide her naughty child by alluding to drunken Perkins. That incident so humiliated Perkins that he gave up his wicked ways and fled to Christ for salvation. He gave up the study of mathematics and his fascination with black magic and the occult, and took up theology. Cambridge was the leading Puritan center of the day. Perkins formal training was Calvinism within a scholastic framework. The strict scholastic training at Cambridge was modified somewhat, however, by Peter Ramus's influence. Ramism had won the support of the Puritans, due to its practicality. Ramus, a converted Roman Catholic, had reformed the arts curriculum by applying it to daily life. He proposed a method to simplify all academic subjects, offering a single logic for both dialectic and rhetoric to make them understandable and memorable. Chaderton first introduced Ramus's Art of Logic to Cambridge students, particularly to Gabriel Harvey, a lecturer who used Ramus's methods for reforming the arts of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Perkins's training in Ramus's method oriented him toward practical application rather than speculative theory, and gave him skills for becoming a popular preacher and theologian. From 1584 until his death, Perkins served as lecturer, or preacher, at Great St. Andrews Church, Cambridge, a most influential pulpit across the street from Christs College. He also served as a fellow at Christs College from 1584 to 1595. Fellows were required to preach, lecture, and tutor students, acting as guides to learning as well as guardians of finances, morals, and manners. Perkins died from kidney stone complications in 1602. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "A Call to Separation - A. W.
