You think it’s a hot take to not want to get married? Satan shouts in triumph. As Genesis 3:15 says, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” We all know this is talking about Jesus,...

GAFCON is still very much alive and well, and it is still resisting the apostasy taking place among far too many Anglicans. They have just released this communique: “The Future Has Arrived”.   Developing world Christians lead the Anglicans to biblical faithfulness: In a piece I just penned yesterday I mentioned how the Anglican Church...

As Christ dwells at the center of our affections, we will watch—in wonder, gratitude, and joy—as the circumference of our affections continually expands, radiating upward and outward to include all things (1 Corinthians 3:22-23). Let us, therefore, most heartily resolve never to depart from our first love.   Then Jacob was left alone, and a man... Continue Reading

We are building schools that serve the home, not replace it. We are raising children who love wisdom more than wealth. We are creating communities where truth is not debated, but declared. We are rebuilding the ruins.   This piece was adapted from Virgil Walker’s keynote at the Fight Laugh Feast Conference A Quiet Revolution Has...

This isn’t just an Anglican story. It’s an evangelical one. Whenever God’s people refuse to compromise on the authority of Scripture, whenever they reform failing institutions to contend for the faith once for all delivered, whenever they choose Christ over cultural accommodation—there is encouragement for all of us.   On October 16, the anniversary of...

We need to recommit ourselves to teaching, loving, and living our standards. We shouldn’t do this for tradition’s sake, but because they reflect the majesty of God and the richness of His Word.   Every church teaches doctrine whether intentionally or by neglect. The question is not if doctrine will be taught, but which doctrine... Continue Reading

We must honestly and in good faith put forth any scruples and disagreements with the Westminster Standards before the presbytery (or session) for them to rule on….if church officers do not take their vows seriously, why should we expect church members to take their vows seriously? Church leaders must set an example for the flock.... Continue Reading

We don’t know, but whatever portion of God’s law he wrote must have related to the hearts of these scribes and Pharisees, and it definitely exposed their guilt before him as Judge and King.   We’ve been digging in Deuteronomy and grabbing gold from John’s Gospel as we’ve been...

“We have an altar.” Forget the marble columns and gilded halls: this altar walked, wept, bled, and breathed. The altar was Jesus. The sacrifice was Jesus. The priest, the blood, the mercy, the covenant…all Jesus.   Today’s Truth: There is no altar left to build. Only one to follow. The letter came folded in worn... Continue Reading

We talk all the time about Christ dying for our sins. As we should! May we never stop proclaiming his death on the cross and subsequent resurrection! But it’s quite easy to gloss over his active obedience, his perfect life. There is truly no hope without it.   It’s commonly understood among Protestants that we’re... Continue Reading
