Politics, Conscience, and the Church: The Why, What, and How of Political Disagreement

All Christians care about justice, but we don’t always agree about how to identify injustice and how to right those wrongs.

Written by Andy Naselli | Wednesday, September 18, 2024

While Christians may not like the alternatives, voting for a party that celebrates murder in the womb, transgenderism, and a host of other sexual deviancies is at best exceedingly unwise and at worst sinful. Christians live as dual citizens of an earthly nation and the heavenly kingdom.    To paraphrase Aristotle, politics is the science... Continue Reading

Devotion Begets Devotion: Encountering God in the Bible

God works on our hearts as we read the Bible. He meets with us and entices us to return and meet with him again.

Written by Ryan Higginbottom | Wednesday, September 18, 2024

God reveals himself to us in the pages of this holy book. To the novice and the expert, to the young and the old, God offers himself to those who would take up and read.   The force of gravity that one object exerts on another depends on a few factors: the mass of each... Continue Reading

We Need Good Protestant Ethicists

Churches need to teach Christian ethics more explicitly and more thoroughly, because that is where the wider culture will challenge Christian discipleship most powerfully.

Written by Carl R. Trueman | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

The person thinking about IVF or wrestling with whether to use preferred pronouns as demanded by his or her employer needs to know how to make a decision that could well be costly and painful. We need good Protestant ethicists who are able to come up with solutions to the various challenges that we face,... Continue Reading

Did Jesus Teach That Our Prayers Are Bothersome to God? (Luke 18)

God will ultimately answer our prayers for justice.

Written by Thomas R. Schreiner | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Luke encourages us to pray always. We should not become practical atheists who cease to hope in God. If we stop praying, it is because we are beginning to think that God is not faithful, that he does not care, that he will not really help us out. But the real issue is not whether...

Christian Men at War

Reject the Vice of Tolerance and the Lie of Egalitarianism

Written by J. Chase Davis | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

On our heavenly pilgrimage, we don’t settle for the ghettoization of Christian communities….We stand ready to defend our own with all the biblical masculine virtue we have to throw ourselves into the battle wherever it rages. We march forth, taking ground; we live with strength and courage because the Lord is with us. We don’t... Continue Reading

Hiding behind Hedonism and Cynicism

The Christian doctrine of joy is the antidote for the hedonist and the cynic.

Written by Joe Holland | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

The Christian knows that his ultimate joy is found in a saving relationship with God through Christ Jesus. The joy that the Christian knows in daily communion with God is greater than anything the world could offer (1 Peter 1:8) and provides the Christian with the ability to enjoy all of life’s good gifts in proportion....

Not Perfect, but Pressing On

Each of us have sinned against a holy God, and none of us are where we would like to be.

Written by Jacob Crouch | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

You are not perfect. Own it. See your deep weakness….We acknowledge our sin, and then we press on. We don’t roll over and give up. We don’t hide our faces. Instead we draw nearer to Christ through the cross. We pick up our Bibles and show up to the gathering of the saints. We press... Continue Reading

Reformed Political Theology

How should Christians live in the world here and now in light of the reign of Jesus Christ?

Written by Simon P. Kennedy | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

As the world closes in on the Church in the West, and politics becomes a more hostile space for Christians, sphere sovereignty offers an explanation of how the Christian life can be carried on in a meaningful way beyond the public square. Christ’s rule, and our response to that rule, is not limited to earthly... Continue Reading

9 Helps for a Successful Prayer Meeting

It is difficult to navigate the balance between “Spirit-led” spontaneity and orderly structure.

Written by Ryan Denton | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

The most important thing is that we are gathering regularly as God’s people to seek His face, ask His blessing, and thank Him for the manifold gifts He has given to us as a church. A right view of God assisted by the Holy Spirit will lead to warm, joyful, and vibrant practice, which includes... Continue Reading

Using the Sword of the Spirit in the Power of Christ

How to use the sword of the Spirit to resist the thoughts and temptations that seek to entice us off of the path of life and onto the road of destruction.

Written by Gary Yagel | Wednesday, September 11, 2024

The result of yielding to Satan’s temptation is always destruction. But wielding the sword of the Spirit fends off the thoughts and impulses that the enemy plants in our minds to lead us into death. The Word of God brings life.   Author, David Jeremiah observes, The biblical context for viewing all of life’s events... Continue Reading
