Spurgeon and the Sabbath: A Theological Conviction

For Spurgeon, Sabbath-breaking broke the fourth commandment in the same manner as adultery broke the sixth commandment.

Written by Brandon Rhea | Wednesday, June 12, 2024

Jesus’ example did not abolish the Sabbath, but it gave Christians an accurate portrayal of Sabbath observance. Consequently, due to Spurgeon’s Sabbath convictions, he would preach for sinners to repent of their Sabbath breaking.    Two revolutions in the last part of the 18th century and the first part of the 19th century created anxiety for...

Understanding the Metamodern Mood

Metamodernism values mood and affect (how I’m feeling/what I’m resonating with) more than rigid logic.

Written by Brett McCracken | Wednesday, June 12, 2024

Metamodern people have seen the unsustainability of postmodern deconstruction, and they desire construction. They want to believe problems can be solved and progress can be made. Even as they’re suspicious of absolute truth in theory, their existential reality leads them to desire it. After all, to construct anything, one must have foundations.   Why, when we...

Illusion vs. Reality

States are rejecting the Biden administration’s redefinition of sex, and Christians should support them.

Written by Jonathan Butcher | Wednesday, June 12, 2024

The Biden administration is challenging God’s created design, and God did not award the state normative authority. He allows civil powers to rule, even uses them for His purposes, but He does not grant them the right to overturn His Word.   “Sex” is getting a makeover. President Joe Biden’s administration has approved a new... Continue Reading

The Forgotten Command: The Need for Repentance concerning the Lord’s Day Sabbath

We must not treat this command lightly or dismiss it as irrelevant.

Written by Kendall Lankford | Wednesday, June 12, 2024

God blesses those individuals and nations who honor the Sabbath, setting it apart as holy unto Him. We cannot expect revival to come to our hearts, both individually and corporately, if we stubbornly refuse obedience to this clear instruction from our Lord.   Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall... Continue Reading

Please Don’t Call Her Pastor

There is so much good ministry that women can and should be doing in our churches; we don’t help them at all by giving them an unbiblical and unnecessary job title.

Written by Chris Hutchison | Friday, June 7, 2024

When God’s good design for men and women is so under attack in our day, why would anyone who embraces that design deliberately add to the confusion by using such a loaded term for female ministry personnel?    Our church is complementarian, which means that we value and embrace the God-given differences between men and...

The Problem Is Us

When we encounter something that troubles us in Scripture, we are tempted to think that the problem is with the text or with the God who revealed it.

Written by Robert Rothwell | Wednesday, June 5, 2024

The invasion of Canaan, in which God executed His wrath in an immediate and dramatic fashion, was a foretaste of the judgment to come. But a greater wrath lies ahead, and there is only one way to escape it—by trusting in Christ alone. Ultimately, then, the invasion of Canaan, for the people of God, is... Continue Reading

General Assembly Preview: Polity, Procedure, & Personnel

The PCA's 51st General Assembly in Richmond lacks the social controversies that overshadowed recent assemblies, but this year's GA has the potential to reshape the character of the PCA.

Written by Ryan Biese | Wednesday, June 5, 2024

The Assembly will have the opportunity to consider whether to uphold our polity and/or to reform our judicial procedures. Additionally the Assembly will take crucial votes regarding the personnel who comprise our GA Committees and Judicial Commission as well as for the staff who administer the daily operations of the denominational agencies.   Thanks to...

Stop Swiping, Start Serving

What does it say about you if you know more about the controversies in the wider church than the needs in your local church?

Written by Tim Challies | Wednesday, June 5, 2024

Consider how you can replace self-indulgence with expressing love to others, self-centeredness with a life of blessing and serving others. For this is why God made you, why he called you, and why he saved you—so you could live a life of doing good to others for the glory of his name.   I’m going... Continue Reading

The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy: Article 2

The authority of the Church is subordinate to that of Scripture.

Written by David Smith | Wednesday, June 5, 2024

It is the written text of Scripture and the ministry of God’s Spirit that alone bind the consciences of God’s people. The church is not the Holy Spirit. There is one Master, our Lord Jesus, to whom every Christian must answer and he is able to make all his servants stand (Romans 14:4).   Article... Continue Reading

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Tool, Image Bearer, or Temptation?

Technology may not be good or bad in and of itself, but technology is never neutral.

Written by Mike Kirby, Matthew Emadi | Wednesday, June 5, 2024

We must also recognize that AI technology is here to stay. The church cannot avoid giving careful thought to fundamental questions like: how does AI fit into the Christian worldview and how might we engage with AI technologies to further our mission without compromising our biblical values and principles?    Abstract: The headlines of today...
