Believers must recognize that some ideas and movements originate from biblical principles and have godly goals that liberate neighbors. Other ideas and movements originate from rebellious impulses with godless goals that exploit neighbors. If God’s love is “the foundational truth about human sexuality,” then we must outright reject the godless ideas that have a veneer... Continue Reading

Knowing you’re a sinner is the second-most important thing you can ever know. But knowing Jesus is a saviour is the most important thing you can ever know. Some of us know about Jesus being a saviour. But not all of us know he’s a saviour. Some people in church, pray once in a while,... Continue Reading

The wild alphabets of sexuality have entered the church and men who think women can put on a collar and stand on behalf of Christ are only a few miles behind that party. This is not so much about defending complementarity or patriarchal principles, this is about defending the Christian principle of basic creational order. We... Continue Reading

We suffer today from too much mere admiration of the gospel, too much treating of the gospel as a construct, as an idea, and too little understanding not simply of the truth of the gospel but the power of the gospel. We need to see the finished work of Christ is a deep well, beautiful and satisfying and eternally... Continue Reading

A Christian wants nothing more than God’s Word because there is nothing he needs more than God’s Word. The Christian may not know it or be able to verbalize it any more than the baby can, but within every true believer will be a deep hunger to be fed by spiritual food—food that is found...

The idea is that young men think wisely before they take action, show proper restraint in the face of all the temptations that the world has to offer, and live in a manner that intentionally seeks to serve the eternal interests...

It is high time to be reconciled to God! Now, while it is still the day, let us watch for Christ’s return, pray for it, tell others about it, and hope for it. And as we do this, may we be “steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,” for the return of Christ will... Continue Reading

Keller advances four excellent strategies to help the PCA move forward together: We should acknowledge how much doctrinal unity we do have; we should acknowledge the complexity of the reasons of why we differ; we must repent and forgive each other; and we need far more face-to-face conversations. I couldn’t agree more. I believe that... Continue Reading

The public reading of Scripture is not a light thing, but a grave exercise of Christ’s authority. Those who read Scripture publicly function as God’s very voice, directly addressing his people through his Word. To say that the reading of Scriptures is not an exercise of the church’s authority would be to suggest that worshipers in the... Continue Reading

It is to be expected that wickedness will often attempt to tarnish God’s good works, working to extinguish the light of the Gospel. But evidence of some perversion did not, and could not, destroy the whole. Revival is the work of God and must be judged by the whole, according to Scripture, distinguishing good from evil....
