Interview with J. V. Fesko on the Rule of Love
Posted: July 6, 2009 Filed under: Interview with J. V. Fesko, Interviews Leave a commentOne of my favorite parts, and just might be my favorite part of my job is being able to read manuscripts from time to time from RHB’s Director of Publishing, then being able to interview the author about the book, before it is even released!
Most recently RHB published J.V. Fesko’s new title, The Rule of Love. At first I honestly had not a clue what I was to expect, some love book? Maybe some book on how to love people? Or maybe a book on how to love your wife? All of those was what happen to be running through my mind. However I was altogether wrong… And right.
I received the PDF document from Jay, the Director of Publications at RHB in order to conduct an interview with J. V. Fesko for you, the readers to read in dealing with with this title.
I was wrong in that the book dealt with the Ten Commandments and not something dealing with Love its’ self.
I was right in that the book dealt with the aspects in how one loves in obeying the law that God has given the church. The book may at this point be my favorite RHB book in print. For those that either do book studies, have come from dispensationalism, fundamentalism back grounds, or have a small group, this book is a great study, chapter by chapter on each command of the Moral Law. To add to its’ content, each chapter ends its self with a number of questions to answer with your friends, small group, or your family.
From Westminster Seminary California,
“Dr. Fesko is a minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. He was ordained as a church planter in 1998 and was installed as a pastor in 2003, thus serving in pastoral ministry for over ten years. He has also taught systematic theology for Reformed Theological Seminary for over eight years as a part-time professor. He has served on two committees appointed by the General Assembly of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. His present research interests include the integration of biblical and systematic theology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Reformed theology. He is a member of the Society of Biblical Literature, the American Academy of Religion, and the Evangelical Theological Society, and a friend of the Institute for Biblical Research.
He is the author of Diversity Within the Reformed Tradition: Supra- and Infralapsarianism in Calvin, Dort, and Westminster; Last Things First: Unlocking Genesis 1-3 with the Christ of Eschatology; Justification: Understanding the Classical Reformed Doctrine; and What is Justification by Faith Alone? He is a contributor toJustification: A Report from the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, and is both a co-editor and contributor to The Law Is Not of Faith: Essays on Works and Grace in the Mosaic Covenant. His scholarly essays have appeared in Reformed Theological Review, Confessional Presbyterian, Themelios, Mid-America Journal of Theology,Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, and Westminster Theological Journal.”
Q. You serve as the academic dean at Westminster Seminary California, and have written several academic works. Is this book written for the academy, or do you have something different in mind?
A. I have written this book with the person in the pew in mind. It is a brief non-technical introduction to the Ten Commandments that grew out of a sermon series I preached a number of years ago. I wrote the book with the layman in mind, something that a person could pick up and read a chapter in twenty minutes or so. My hope is that though it is simple and brief, that it gives the reader a glimpse of the profundity of God’s law.
Q. What is the significance of the title, The Rule of Love, and how does this relate to the Ten Commandments?
A. So often people do not associate obedience to the law with a love for God. Obedience is seen as a duty or obligation rather than something that is the fruit of love. Christ tells us, quoting the Old Testament, that to love God is the first and greatest commandment. However, we mustn’t forget that apart from Christ through the Holy Spirit, we are incapable of loving God. We must remember that God has first loved us so that we may love Him and others.
Q. We hear a lot of complaints about the removal of the Ten Commandments from courthouses and schools, but I do not sense much concern among Evangelicals about having a good understanding of the Law in their churches and homes. How can churches do a better job of teaching the Law and its proper uses?
A. All too often I think people are more concerned with what goes on in the world outside the church than they are with what occurs inside it. I suspect that people want copies of the Law posted in their local courthouse but seldom hear the Law read in their churches. Churches, and more specifically ministers, are called to teach and preach the whole counsel of God, which includes the Law. This means reading the Law during the worship service to convict the congregation of their sin, show their inability to love God, and how far they have fallen short of the glory of God. But then ministers must herald the good news of the gospel of the free forgiveness of sins by faith alone in Christ alone by God’s grace alone. In this the people of God know they are free from the condemnation of the Law. But as they are united to Christ, they can also know that God has written the Law upon their hearts and that they have been raised with Christ to walk in the newness of life. In reflecting upon the Law they can know that not only has Christ fulfilled its demands but that through the Spirit He enables them to fulfill the righteous requirements of the Law by faith in Him.
Q. How can Christian parents do a better job of teaching their children about the Law and its proper uses?
A. It is vital that parents teach their children that the Law is far more than a list of prohibitions. The Law is so much more. The prohibition against coveting, for example, ultimately tells us that we must be generous with our possessions and give freely of what God has graciously given to us. However, parents must constantly point their children to Christ as the only one to whom they can flee not only for the forgiveness of their sins against the Law but also as the one who enables them to obey the Law of God. Lastly, if parents do not understand these things, then they will not model them for their children. In other words, sometimes children learn more from what their parents do rather than what they say.
Q. It seems there is a fine line between two equally devastating errors: legalism and antinomianism. What help does your book offer to navigate people between these two errors?
A. My aim was to show how essential a Christ-centered approach to the Law is. Apart from Christ, people often think that they can obey the Law—this leads to legalism. Apart from a right understanding of what Christ has done to free us from the curse of the Law, people often take a cheap view of grace—this leads to antinomianism, or lawless living. If we recognize our utter sinfulness and depravity, then we will never think our own pretended righteousness will withstand the scrutiny before the throne of judgment. Only Christ’s perfect righteousness imputed to us by faith is sufficient. On the other hand, if we recognize all that Christ suffered in bearing the curse of the Law and that He has poured out the Spirit upon us so that we might walk in the newness of life, then we will turn away from lawless living.
Q. In Galatians 3, Paul argues that the law was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. How does your book particularly demonstrate this point?
A. One of the ways that I hope I bring this out is to show the plunging depths of how demanding the Law of God actually is. Though the Law is very short, it is very demanding ultimately because it is a reflection of the perfect righteousness and holiness of our covenant Lord. In seeing the great exactitude and absolute perfection that the Law demands, hopefully people will see how insufficient their own attempts at meeting God’s demands are and they will flee to Christ, our only hope in life and death.
Q. You emphasis the need to place the Ten Commandments in their redemptive, historical, and covenantal context. Could you briefly give a word on all three of these aspects?
A. It is important to understand the Ten Commandments in their original setting. What would an average Israelite have understood when he heard the Law read? At the same time, as we come to the Law, we have to realize that God never comes to His people apart from covenant. In this case, as we read the Law we must recognize that it is the chief element of the Mosaic covenant, a covenant to which we are not a part. Moses did not sprinkle blood upon us and we did not stand at the foot of Mt. Sinai and swear a self-maledictory covenant oath of obedience. We are a part of the new covenant—we have been sprinkled with the blood of Christ. It is our covenantal context that helps us to see the broader redemptive context—namely that Sinai was not the terminal goal of God’s revelation but that it is Christ. Apart from Christ, the law brings death. It is only through Christ, He who bore the curse of the Law and fulfilled it on our behalf imputed to us by faith alone, that we can look upon the Law as a friend. We must always take account our redemptive, historical, and covenantal contexts.
Q. In your chapter on the fourth commandment, you note that Sabbath observance is at an all time low. It seems many people in Evangelicalism see the Sabbath as no longer binding, and really as an unnecessary legalism. Pastorally, how have you counseled people who share or have run into this view?
A. Over the years I have tried to show people what it means to receive a foretaste of the eternal rest to come, of heaven itself. Each and every Lord’s Day (Sunday) we receive a foretaste of heaven, of the eternal rest that we will one day enjoy. On that day there will be no labor, no selfish pursuit of our own interests, but we will be consumed with a joyful and exuberant worship of our triune Lord. If we allow ourselves to be distracted by worldly things, then we will miss out on this tremendous blessing. Moreover, if we can take time off from work to celebrate holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and the like then why are we so adamant about refusing to do the same for the greatest event in all of world history, indeed in the entire cosmos? The new-world creating resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead!
Q. If you had two to three sentences to give a “pitch-line” to sell your book, what would you tell someone?
A. I think Paul said it best, “The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor 15.56-57). But if I have to come up with my own original statement, I’d say: “Apart from Christ the Law is death. Only in Christ is the Law silenced and becomes our friend.”
In The Rule of Love, J. V. Fesko gives an introductory exposition of the Ten Commandments. Beginning with the importance of the prologue, and then addressing each Commandment in turn, he sets forth a balanced and biblical approach that places the law in proper perspective. Throughout the book, Fesko analyzes the historical context of God’s giving the law in order to help us accurately understand the moral demands God places upon humanity. Yet, Fesko does not stop there; he also discusses the covenantal and redemptive context in which the law was given. Thus, he shows that the law is not presented to us in order for us to present ourselves right before God. Rather, it demonstrates our failure to love God as we should and points us to Christ and His perfect obedience in all that God requires of us. Fesko also shows how Christ applies the commandments to His people by the indwelling power and presence of the Holy Spirit. This is an excellent survey of the Ten Commandments that promises to bring about a more accurate understanding of the proper uses of the law, as well as engender profound gratitude for all that God is for us in Christ.
Calvin500 Day One
Posted: July 6, 2009 Filed under: Calvin 500 Leave a commentIt’s been years since I’ve had such a good sleep as I had last night. After a little jetlag and walking miles throughout the day, it was also the first time in a long time that I was able to go to bed as early as 10pm. After a great night’s rest, attendees of the Calvin500 Tour and Conference spent their Lord’s Day worship in Calvin’s St. Pierre Cathedral in downtown Geneva.
During the morning worship, Rev. Dr. Sinclair Ferguson preached from Philippians 3:8-12. The sermon was entitled “In Christ Alone.”
8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
His three points focused on:
What Paul was by nature
What Paul found in Christ
What he became by grace
Dr. Ligon Duncan on twitter commented on the message saying, “Glorious. Convicting. Strengthening.”
And it was.
During the evening service there were two messages. The first was by Rt. Rev. Henry Orombi, who preached from Matthew 24:45-51 a sermon entitled “Be a Faithful Servant.” Rev. Orombi brought four thoughts to mind in his message for today’s church:
In order to be a faithful servant, one must understand what it means to “feed my sheep.”
In order to be a faithful servant, one must love the church with boldness.
In order to be a faithful servant, it takes a willingness to make a sacrifice.
In order to be a faithful servant, a true and pure love for one’s Savior will love his sheep.
The last message of the evening was given by Rev. Dr. Bryan Chapell, who was preaching from Ephesians 1:3-6 a sermon entitled “In Praise of Predestination.”
Dr. Chapell’s core theme was built around Paul’s concern in writing Ephesians 1—that is, to reveal God’s Fatherhood in His sovereignty. Chapell stressed that we, the church, serve a God that blesses His children—blesses them with a union with Christ, and blesses them with the righteousness of Christ.
Ephesians 1:3-6 reads,
“3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.”
This brought a great reminder to me, that when talking about Predestination it is nothing to be argued about, or something to bring up to debate. Rather, it is something that we stand back as believers of the wonderful Gospel and look at the beauty, the awe, and wonder of our precious God in whom we serve, who predestined His elect before all of creation.
Pre-day Conference Trip
Posted: July 5, 2009 Filed under: Calvin 500 Leave a commentCrossing the pond for the first time took a little longer than what I had thought it would be. I simply could not sleep for more than 10 minutes on the flight from Detroit to Amsterdam without someone screaming in my ear, kicking my seat, or puking behind me. Instead, I spent most of the time reading a book, listening to my iPod, and I did watch one movie, Monsters vs. Aliens. But at last I made it safe to Amsterdam, and for that I am very thankful. I now stand in the Amsterdam Airport, which seems to either not have AC or they don’t use it, because I am sweating like mad in this place! I walked around trying to find somewhere to connect to the Internet, and happened to come across an “Internet-café,” where they wouldn’t allow me to use their wifi because I wouldn’t spend $10 on a cup of coffee. So I asked one of the ladies in those bright blue jumper outfits to aid me in finding some wifi so I could work, and she pointed me in the right direction. What she didn’t tell me was that it cost $6.00 American dollars for every 15 minutes. I think I’ll pass, and post tonight at the hotel.
After waiting a few hours in Amsterdam for my last flight, Ligon Duncan and Derek Thomas came walking up to where I was sitting. It was most certainly nice to see some faces that I knew and have a conversation for once in the last 15 hours. After we arrived in Geneva, we ran into Bryan Chapell at the Geneva Airport while getting our luggage. From there, all four of us squeezed into a taxi and headed to the hotel. Now I am sitting down here finishing up the small ends of this post and am in need of a nap since I have not yet slept. I heard a rumor that there is an organ show tonight at Calvin’s Cathedral, but I am not sure, nor know yet if I am going to go.
Here are a few shots of the city from my hotel window, and stay tuned for more to come on the events that are taking place this week.
Pre-day Conference Thoughts
What I liked
Free food is always a favorite of mine, so the meal and drinks on the plane I enjoyed.
Being able to get sushi with my fiancée before I left Michigan for my flight.
My flight from Grand Rapids to Detroit was on a plane fit for 200, and only had 20 people on it.
What I disliked
The 3 kids that sat behind me on the plane, and kicked the back of my seat for a strait 7-hours.
The women in the Amsterdam Airport that keep walking up to me, asking me to smell cologne in their stores.
The fact that everything seems to cost 2-times as much as it does back in Ohio or Michigan.
What I noticed
Everyone cares about how they smell, or what fragrance they have.
Everyone’s shoes are crazy; just different then what I am used to.
There are wine stores everywhere, not really a fan, but never saw them this large in an airport.
The Word, Necessary Food
Posted: July 5, 2009 Filed under: Sundays with Spurgeon Leave a commentMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)
If God so willed it we could live without bread, even as Jesus did for forty days; but we could not live without His Word. By that Word we were created, and by it alone can we be kept in being, for he sustaineth all things by the Word of His power. Bread is a second cause; the Lord Himself is the first source of our sustenance. He can work without the second cause as well as with it; and we must not tie Him down to one mode of operation. Let us not be too eager after the visible, but let us look to the invisible God. We have heard believers say that in deep poverty, when bread ran short, their appetites became short, too; and to others, when common supplies failed, the Lord has sent in unexpected help.
But we must have the Word of the Lord. With this alone we can withstand the devil. Take this from us, and our enemy will have us in his power, for we shall soon faint. Our souls need food, and there is none for them outside of the Word of the Lord. All the books and all the preachers in the world cannot furnish us a single meal: it is only the Word from the mouth of God that can fill the mouth of a believer. Lord, evermore give us this bread. We prize it above royal dainties.
My Thoughts and Prep for Calvin500
Posted: July 3, 2009 Filed under: Calvin 500 1 CommentMy Thoughts
I was talking to a friend of mine just the other day through text-messaging about the coming Calvin500 Tour & Conference. In the conversation he mentioned in some matter to me that “it is about God, and not John Calvin” and in another text mentioned something to the effect that Calvin wouldn’t have wanted such a conference. The past week I have thought constantly about his comments, but how true it can be for us that are a part of the Reformed Faith to place such a emphasis on the “clay” that the Lord molds and shapes for his handy-work, this being John Calvin. Believers of the Gospel must be carful when dealing with our rich heritage (that the Lord has given us), but has used for his work, his church, and his glory.
So why gather in Geneva to celebrate John Calvin’s birthday, why spend the money to fly there, hotels, meals, why read papers written on and about John Calvin, why preach sermons on specific text in which are devoted to the ministry in which John Calvin had? These are a number of the thoughts that I have been thinking the last few days in preparing to fly “across the pond” before celebrating John Calvin’s 500th birthday in Geneva. I for one coming from America, and being a believer of the Gospel at the same time can easily see how the American-culture so easily makes idols. I cannot speak for all when blogging, but I can speak for myself in why I’m headed for the Calvin500 Tour and Conference.
I will gathered in Geneva for the 500th birthday of John Calvin—not merely to popularize him or idolize him, because John Calvin would have never wanted that. I will be there, rather, to make known and lift up John Calvin’s God—my God—The Supreme Being, The LORD who sits in authority and reigns over all things in complete sovereignty. For those who will attend, they will be blessed by…
For those or you in attendance… I hope this is as well your focus celebrating John Calvin’s 500th Birthday!
My Prep
As for my prep, I have packed, I have spent the morning with my fiance and am now ready to start the long trip from Grand Rapids to Detroit to Amsterdam(4-hour layover) and then finally to Geneva. For those of you who will be reading these post and following along on my journey to Europe for the Calvin500 Conference, please I ask three things of you.
1. Be easy on me, my grammar and sentence structures may not be the best. I am a redneck from hickville small-town Ohio and have a long way still to go on my english. But for the most part, I write like I talk, which is not the best to read, but can be refreshing (different) at times.
2. For those that read my blog, “Gospel-Centered Musings,” I’ll be mostly double posting there and here on the Calvin500 Blog for the next 8 days or so. You’ll be able to see pictures, read articles, highlights from the day, and whatnot at either blog. For those that want to follow the Twitter account of my experience and read the post, I recommend my personal blog, because the twitter account is on the right hand side of my blog.
3. Lastly, I have no clue in what to expect for internet access (besides my hotel-room). I have contacted a number of individuals, but have not had much success, so bare with me.
To follow in whatever way you wish:
Twitter – follow his experience in Geneva while attending the Calvin500 Tour and Conference
Facebook – look for updated status’s on what is going on during the Calvin500 Tour and Conference
Calvin500 Blog – Blogging the papers and sermons given during the Calvin500 Tour and Conference
Calvin500 Twubs – Live twitter updates from all who are twittering the Calvin500 Tour and Conference
Gospel-Centered Musings – personal blog post on the experience in Geneva during the Calvin500 Tour and Conference
If any of you have questions of what is going on or would like me to find out any information for you dealing with the conference in Geneva during the 500th birthday of John Calvin, I’ll try my best. You can either email, facebook, twitter is the better, and I’ll do my best in trying to answer your questions.
Thankfully I am not traveling through Atlanta airport in any way, the last three times I have been there this past year, they lost my luggage all three times!
Take care for now, I have a flight to catch in an hour and will blog my 20-hour trip across the pond.

Cherishing the Church – Dr. Joel R. Beeke
Posted: July 2, 2009 Filed under: Calvin 500, Dr. Joel Beeke Leave a commentFor a taste of what will take place in less than one week in Geneva at the Calvin500 Conference, here is Dr. Joel R. Beeke’s sermon that he will be giving, “Cherishing the Church.”
Calvin for the 21st Century
Posted: July 1, 2009 Filed under: Calvin 500, Calvin for the 21st Century Leave a commentLigon Duncan writes,
“This year the reformed world has seen a number of books and conferences related to the life and work of John Calvin. For instance, Derek and I will be participating in the “Calvin 500″ in Geneva next week. Of course, many who would love to attend a Calvin conference will not be able to make the pilgrimage all the way to Geneva! Thus there are many other conferences devoted to Calvin all over the United States. In an age that lacks appreciation of and is at times generally ignorant of history, one of the most important of the Calvin conferences, in my estimation, is “Calvin for the 21st Century,” sponsored by the Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As with all things under the direction of Joel Beeke, you can expect that the conference will be first rate and excellently demonstrate the relevance of one of the greatest reformers of all time. And Derek and I will be there too!
If you would like more information about “Calvin for the 21st Century,” check out this website http://www.puritanseminary.org/conference/index.php. Those interested should take advantage of the preregistration discount being offered through July 24th. Space is limited.”
