A Word on Diligence
Making best use of the time.
Make the best use of your time. We won’t be perfect, but we want to glorify God with our time. We replace Bible-reading with binge-watching the latest show on Netflix. We replace prayer with mindlessly scrolling through reels. We replace our spiritual disciplines with different things that distract us. God has called us to more... Continue Reading
Solitude vs. Isolation
On the surface, they look the same. You're by yourself. But that's where the similarities end.
Solitude connects you to God, yourself, and others. It gives life. Isolation cuts you off and leaves you feeling empty. One restores; the other drains. More than ever before, I enjoy being alone…but there’s a world of difference between solitude and isolation. It’s easy to miss the difference because, on the surface, they look... Continue Reading
How the Exile Is Relevant for Christians Today
The Bible is one long drama of humanity’s homecoming.
Come, Let Us Go to the House of the Lord Because Jesus has gone on his own exile in his death and returned to the presence of God in his resurrection and ascension, we can see that we have one step back into Eden. Because Christ has gone before us into the presence of God,... Continue Reading
We Cannot Reject EFAS By Nestorian Arguments
Do not argue against eternal relations of authority and submission by saying that Christ’s divinity does some things and his humanity does other things.
The solution to the problem of the eternal relations of authority and submission is…to say that the one Lord Jesus Christ is always the subject of the actions that he does, and in his incarnate humanity, he became the only mediator between God and man, “the man Jesus Christ.” This article examines the (incorrect)...

Christianity’s Thick Answer to the Problem of Evil
A multipronged approach can help us reckon with evil in the world.
Consistent secularists and atheists must conclude suffering is random, a matter of luck or power. Hinduism says suffering is deserved because of actions in a previous life. Buddhism says suffering is caused by your cravings for and attachment to material things. Only Christianity says the problem of evil is real. After college, I spent... Continue Reading
Raising Dangerous Children: Part 3 of “Educating Our Children”
You are called to raise children who do not just survive culture but shape it.
To raise dangerous Christians is to put steel in their spines, fire in their bones, and Scripture in their mouths. It is to prepare them to walk into the world not as tourists but as ambassadors. Not as impressionable youths but as immovable saints. In Part 1 of this series, The Battle for Minds,... Continue Reading
Why Heart Posture Matters
Proper heart posture appropriately directs knowledge into right behavior and godly application.
Many people know the Bible well yet live unchanged lives. Why? A person’s heart posture matters. Accumulating knowledge without a proper heart posture leads to dangerously deceiving and treacherous roads for the Christian. It self-deceives the Christian who is constantly around things of God, yet not necessarily with Him. My son, give me your... Continue Reading
Four Reasons for Revising & Fully Adopting the Directory for Worship
A Directory for Worship can never be said to be a distraction or waste of energy for the church.
I would encourage fathers and brothers to consider the overture to form a committee with open minds….Perhaps in the last 50 years, the PCA has grown in maturity and can have discussions she was unable to have in her early days. Such would be a worthy endeavor to finish the unfinished business of the PCA’s... Continue Reading
The Return of Reformed Natural Theology
A Review of "Natural Theology," by Geerhardus Vos
Natural theology does not begin from atheistic anthropology, according to which man does not possess an innate idea of God. Natural theology begins from the common epistemic faculties of human beings and the evidence of the external world. Together, Vos argues, these provide all people, whatever their ideological presuppositions, with testimony of God. Even before attending... Continue Reading
When the World Seems to Be Winning
No matter how messy it appears, let us never forget that it is our loving heavenly Father who is in charge.
When Jesus explains the parable of the weeds, He seals His teaching with a promise: though we live in a day of mixed growth as the kingdom slowly grows from small to large and slowly becomes pervasive, the day is coming when that growth will be complete. The day is coming when there will be... Continue Reading
