Covenant theology rightly understood is foundational to our faith, and those who meddle with either the covenant of works or the covenant of grace will soon meddle with the gospel of God.   In a sermon on Hebrews 8:10 published on October 31, 1912, the English Baptist pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon declared: “The doctrine of...

When we see Sacred Scripture correctly, we see that it is all about our Lord and God’s plan of redemption of His elect. If the Bible is not the Word of God and, therefore, not authoritative, complete, and inerrant then this is just another myth that could be an object lesson, but no more. 1... Continue Reading

Since Scripture is perspicuous, false doctrine can be rejected and sound doctrine can be instructed in (Ti 1:9). God’s word is understandable. It is expected to be trusted in, defended, proclaimed, and nourishing to those to read it in faith.   As we saw in the article on Scripture’s clarity in the Old Testament, explicit...

Kendi’s antiracism entails an overthrow of traditional family norms, Christian teaching about marriage, the American economic system, and indeed the entire social order. In other words, antiracism implies a revolution.   Anyone reading this site over the last several years has probably noticed my growing alarm about leftist “social justice” ideologies. I had already become... Continue Reading

In 1894, William Sheppard spoke at the college about his service in the Congo (Zaire) and asked for volunteers to join him. At that time, Mary was 56 years old—an age when most people today think about retirement. With a small body weighing about 90 pounds, she also looked frail. Once again, she didn’t see...

God’s love meets stony, unbreakable, impenetrable hearts today and replaces them. It meets rebellious, wounded, bleeding hearts and remakes them. It takes motionless hearts and makes them pulse with heavenly life.   We all walk through this fallen world on streets of shattered promises. Believer or unbeliever, wealthy or poor, young or old, few, if... Continue Reading

Discernment must be exercised by Christian both in the personal and public realm. It must shine the light of truth of Scripture on what is within and on that without. As the writer to Hebrews makes clear throughout the letter, believers must discern the sin within their own hearts—in order to gaurd against it—while recognizing... Continue Reading

As Charles Spurgeon put it, “To pursue union at the expense of truth is treason to the Lord Jesus Christ.” So we must be willing to abandon Christian unity when the truth of the gospel is at stake. But so often it is not, and it is a matter of getting along with other believers... Continue Reading

Because God is timeless, He is also timely, at least from the perspective of us creatures. Since He is not bound by time, He is free to work in it as He pleases. Since He sees it all from the outside, He is not taken by surprise, not caught off-guard, not left trying to scramble... Continue Reading

Every woman can overcome an unwanted pregnancy. Though feminists disagree, God has made women strong to do that.   Our culture believes women are too weak to overcome adversity. Feminism has convinced many women they are not strong enough to overcome unwanted pregnancies. Feminism doesn’t empower women, it oppresses them—and it especially oppresses their babies....
