The biggest challenge in the church today is it’s fidelity to the person and work of Christ. There are many issues: the authority of the Scriptures, the truth of the Gospel. But at the core of it is our commitment to the full humanity and deity of Christ, and all that He accomplished in His ministry.... Continue Reading

If the Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son, the Spirit is not only representing a Spirit, but God in flesh. And if the Spirit is representing the God-man Jesus, the Intercessor between God and man, then by necessity the central place in our theology is not an incomprehensible deity whom it takes...

It is one of the most evident (and sweetest) marks of saving faith, that the Lord enables us to acquiesce humbly and not grudgingly in the face of dark and sore providences. During Samuel Rutherford’s time in London, where he was a delegate from the Church of Scotland at the Westminster Assembly, two children from... Continue Reading

What should we do when a loved one is overwhelmed by that chemical-combustion-mistaken-as-love? Here is one answer: I don’t know. I have yet to find anything that neutralizes it. Tackle the victims, tie them down, bring in a hundred witnesses to scream at and berate them, send them to boarding school—these are all fine ideas.... Continue Reading

The goal is simple: Let’s affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1. Former presidential candidate and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he is “incensed” at the way... Continue Reading

“Not everybody understands why you would go to a movie at midnight but this is a community of fans,” said Rantal.  “You’re sharing the evening with 500 fans. The event up at Aurora had just such a community. We didn’t know their names but they were part of our crew, part of our community. That’s why... Continue Reading

When the liberal arts are separated from the Creator of the universe and from a higher, overarching purpose, save for common grace, man corrupts the truth and follows after evil. Such secular teaching cultivates in students a fragmented, disconnected perspective of the world that encourages each individual to import and apply his or her own meaning to life. Gene...

In Romans 3, Paul makes abundantly clear that unconverted people do not seek after God. Thomas Aquinas understood this and maintained that to the naked eye it may seem that unbelievers are searching for God or seeking for the kingdom of God, while they are in fact fleeing from God with all of their might....
