Full and Final Holiness

What must it be like when perfect holiness and total love for God the Father, Son, and Spirit—and for our fellow believers—are both natural and easy?

Written by Sinclair Ferguson | Thursday, July 18, 2024

From dust we came, and to dust we will return (unless our Lord returns first). But this dust will be resurrected, reconstituted when Christ comes again in glory. On that day of reunion—of body and soul, earth and heaven, men and angels—when all things are at last visibly made subject to the second man, Jesus... Continue Reading

Straight In His Face

You will either thrill to realize that this is the One you have loved and have longed to look upon, or you will hate to look on One so lovely when you’d rather be looking at yourself.

Written by Kevin DeYoung | Thursday, July 18, 2024

When you see Christ as he is, for who he is, you will not be neutral. Your response will not be tepid. No one will equivocate or find some middle ground. You will either thrill to realize that this is the One you have loved and have longed to look upon, or you will hate... Continue Reading

The Power of God’s Word – and Google – in the Conversion of Jim Price

The story of Jim Price is a great example of why the Bible Answers Project is so important.

Written by Daniel Vos | Thursday, July 18, 2024

Praise the LORD for his work in the life of Jim Price! Praise the LORD that his Word is powerful to save sinners! Praise the LORD that he can even use Google in the process! How does this relate to the Bible Answers Project? God is at work. His Word is mighty to save sinners. And Google search can be part...

Counseling Fallen People Based on the Bible’s Teaching on Sin

Counseling and Sin

Written by Heath Lambert | Thursday, July 18, 2024

Counseling in a world of relational brokenness is about walking with people who have sinned in their relationships, assisting them in seeing where they have wronged another person, and helping them to take responsibility through confession of sin and satisfaction of any restitution that may be required (Matt. 7:3–5). It is also about helping them... Continue Reading

The Dangers of False Bible Attribution

Often Scripture is misused, twisted, distorted, and taken out of context with the result that much of the Body of Christ is damaged and distracted from Christ, their only true source of strength.

Written by Don and Joy Veinot | Thursday, July 18, 2024

Some are leaving the faith (deconstructing) because they are rejecting a false view of God’s deliverance. How many of us are weak in the face of trials and/or temptations? Pretty much all of us! The person who has been taught and believes that we will have the power in ourselves to overcome all trials in our... Continue Reading

Take Hold of Heaven: Lessons from the Puritans on Prayer

As Matthew Henry (1662–1714) observed, prayer is the believer’s companion, counselor, comforter, supply, support, shelter, strength, and salvation.

Written by Joel Beeke | Thursday, July 18, 2024

Whatever our calling or trade, prayer is our work throughout the day (Romans 12:12; Colossians 4:2). We fulfill this mandate in several ways. First, we maintain an attitude of prayer throughout the day. As Matthew Henry exhorted, we should seek to begin, spend, and close the day with God.24 Or as another man once said, when we finish talking... Continue Reading

Holiness in Corporate Worship

If delight is at the heart of God’s Sabbath rest, should it not be in ours as well?

Written by Peter Whitney | Wednesday, July 17, 2024

We have the holy duty of delight to clear and align our [Lord’s] day so that we may best rest in our Lord. This rest is accomplished not through laziness or isolation but with a holy vigor, as we earnestly pursue the service of God in both private and public worship.   Having grown up... Continue Reading

Digital Discipleship for Your Children, Part I

Prepare and shape your children to have Christian imaginations amidst the digital deluge.

Written by David de Bruyn | Wednesday, July 17, 2024

Technology is here to stay, and can be harnessed helpfully. We can worship, work, and play as worshippers and image-bearers without a total ban on screens or online access. But such spiritual success will only come with some vigorous cultivation.    A little over eleven years ago, I published Save Them From Secularism. I wanted... Continue Reading

Do We Really Believe That Singleness and Marriage Are Equal in God’s Sight?

Our marital status does not impact whether we are of value to God.

Written by Simon van Bruchem | Wednesday, July 17, 2024

It is good for us to understand that the modern focus on marriage in the church is not how it has always been. The monastic movement, for all its flaws, was an attempt to take 1 Corinthians 7 seriously and to use your life to wholeheartedly serve Jesus without the divided interests that come from... Continue Reading

Why Did God the Son Become Human?

By assuming our humanity, the Son becomes the representative man of Psalm 8—the last Adam.

Written by Stephen Wellum | Wednesday, July 17, 2024

Hebrews 2:5–18 gloriously explains why the divine Son had to become human to redeem us from our sin and to restore us to the purpose of our creation. It’s no wonder that Jesus alone can save us, given our plight before God and the kind of Redeemer he is.   In the eleventh century, Anselm... Continue Reading
