Institute Minutes by Joe Boot

The Christian gospel has an implicit vision for culture, centered in the worship of the true living God through Christ the Son.

The Church is not just an institution, it's an organism, and it is called out to the public affairs of the kingdom of God with universal jurisdiction.

The Church has authority and power to overcome all opposition because her leader and head is the Lord of all.

Christ has full authority in all realms, and there is no title either known by men or by angels that is not subject to Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Lord, sits at the right hand of the Father and has been placed over every authority and principality.

The Christian hope is more than a personal, future hope, it is a corporate, present hope.

The Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

We can grasp what God has for his people when we come to understand who we are in Christ.

Scripture gives us a three component view of reality: God, God's word for creation, and creation.

Paul's purpose when writing about the believer's predestination is to assure us of the deeper background of our redemption and to anchor us in the abiding word of God.

There are no other heirs than those who are found in Christ, Jew and Gentile, we are co-heirs with the Son.

The origin of our salvation is not found in us, but long before our personal commitments to Christ, it is in fact in God.
