RTS Global Education @RTSGlobalEd

A preview of History of Christianity I with Dr. Donald Fortson, Emeritus.

We enjoyed gathering with our alumni, friends, faculty, and supporters at this year's RTS PCA General Assembly luncheon. Thank you to everyone who joined us as we celebrated God's faithfulness to RTS and reflected on our shared calling to prepare the next generation of pastors and church leaders. The fellowship, encouragement, and partnership of the PCA community continue to be a tremendous blessing. We are grateful to serve alongside so many who are committed to investing in Christ's church for generations to come. PCAGA RTS Kaleo

Thoughts on PCA GA. Louisville was a great host city. @MeltonDuncan was an expert moderator. Seeing friends old and new was encouraging. But I’m highest on the young ministers who are devoting themselves to this denomination and its long term health. The future is bright.

One of the many exciting announcements at the @ReformTheoSem Luncheon at #PCAGA was the forthcoming publication of the RTS faculty commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith @crossway

Reformed Seminary @ReformTheoSem

The Westminster Confession of Faith has served as a faithful guide to Reformed doctrine for nearly four centuries. This new volume brings together RTS faculty and alumni to explore its history, theology, and application for the church today. Whether you're a pastor, student,

"We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul." ~ C.H. Spurgeon, Morning and Evening "It is ever the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, “Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you have not the joy of his children; you have such a wavering hold of Jesus.” All these are thoughts about self, and we shall never find comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns our eyes entirely away from self: he tells us that we are nothing, but that “Christ is all in all.” Remember, therefore, it is not thy hold of Christ that saves thee—it is Christ; it is not thy joy in Christ that saves thee—it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ, though that be the instrument—it is Christ’s blood and merits; therefore, look not so much to thy hand with which thou art grasping Christ, as to Christ; look not to thy hope, but to Jesus, the source of thy hope; look not to thy faith, but to Jesus, the author and finisher of thy faith. We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul. If we would at once overcome Satan and have peace with God, it must be by “looking unto Jesus.” Keep thine eye simply on him; let his death, his sufferings, his merits, his glories, his intercession, be fresh upon thy mind; when thou wakest in the morning look to him; when thou liest down at night look to him. Oh! let not thy hopes or fears come between thee and Jesus; follow hard after him, and he will never fail thee."

The digital unrolling of the Herculaneum scroll (@scrollprize) is exciting news! Tomorrow I'll post a video about it and spend time reading some of the columns of restored text from *within* the scroll. Fantastic application of tech to the study of antiquity.

Enjoyed working through the Greek text of this scroll from Herculaneum. Pretty amazing that even, say, a Greek 2 student who knows a bit of uncial script can make sense of most of this Greek from 2nd C BC (apparently Stoic) bookroll preserved by a volcano. youtu.be/Yu3qQO_vRTE?si…

A prayer for Reformed Theological Seminary @ReformTheoSem as we begin our 60th year (2026-2027). Based on Herman Witsius’ prayer for the seminary in Franeker April 16, 1675. Translated by John Donaldson & introduced by William Cunningham of the @freechurchscot (in 1856).

Last weekend we celebrated the RTS Atlanta graduating class — men and women who have faithfully labored, studied, prayed, and persevered. We are grateful for the ways the Lord has shaped each of you during your time here, and we cannot wait to see how He uses you for His glory in the years ahead. Thank you to Westminster Presbyterian Church for hosting us again for Commencement this year! Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Seminary is a place of both preparation and discernment. At Reformed Theological Seminary, students like Colson are strengthened as they seek clarity in the Lord’s calling for their lives. It is also a season of growth alongside their families, deepening a shared desire to faithfully proclaim the gospel wherever God leads next. They are being equipped to step forward with conviction and trust in the Lord’s direction.
