In this episode of Ask FGBC, we respond to the question:"What are some words not found in the Bible that help safeguard and express its teachings?"We explore key terms like Trinity, inerrancy, canon, and partitive exegesis—words that aren't in Scripture but have been used by faithful Christians for centuries to clarify, protect, and pass on God's truth. This short episode reflects on the value of precise language in theological discussion, with references to the Nicene Creed, doctrinal history, and the church's call to contend earnestly for the faith.With Pastor Jim Butler, Pastor Cameron Porter, and Wim Kerkhoff.

Have you ever wondered if there's a sin so serious that it can never be forgiven? In this episode of Ask FGBC, Pastor Jim Butler and Wim Kerkhoff explore the biblical meaning of the unforgivable sin, often called blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Matthew 12, Hebrews 6, and Hebrews 10, they discuss how this sin relates to apostasy—deliberate rejection of Christ and His work. But what does this mean for those who fear they've committed it? The conversation brings clarity, encouragement, and a reminder of God's mercy in the gospel.

Our pastor taught through Chapter 32 of the Second London Baptist Confession (2LBC), focusing on The Last Judgment. This chapter reminds us that God has appointed a day when He will judge the world in righteousness through Jesus Christ. Every person will stand before the Lord to give an account, and the righteous will enter eternal life while the wicked will face everlasting punishment.This truth calls us to live soberly, watchfully, and expectantly, knowing that Christ will return at the appointed time. It also urges us to proclaim the gospel, as the final judgment will magnify both God's justice and His mercy.Let this teaching stir our hearts to faithfulness and hope as we await the coming of our King!
