Our ideological foes may be in the wrong, but let us remember that they are also privy to our very human (fallen) foibles and failures.  Why should we further engage in behavior and dialogue that only prolongs their resistance to the triumph of the Prince of Peace.  Rather, let us show the moderation of temper...

Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). The elect respond to Jesus’s call to follow him and abide in him. In mercy, God withholds from us mysteries of election we aren’t equipped to grasp, yet he graciously gives us a simple means by which we can... Continue Reading

The first Adam was silent when the Serpent spoke to the Bride, and even obeyed the voice of the one assigned to his care, rather than obeying God’s voice (Gen. 3:17a). However, Christ fulfilled his calling. He called out snakes, knowing full well how they think and what they are up to. He crushed their... Continue Reading

God loves to use imperfect people in his service. This is a theme all through the Bible. From Moses, who couldn’t speak well, to Gideon, the youngest child of an insignificant clan, through to Peter the fisherman who had temper issues. God so often uses those who are clearly imperfect so that his grace shines... Continue Reading

In the film, Lennox doesn’t go too deeply into any one argument for the truth of Christianity. Instead, it’s more of a conversational overview of many basic arguments (the cosmological argument, fine tuning, the resurrection, etc.).   How could an Oxford professor of mathematics think Christianity is true? That’s the question addressed by a new... Continue Reading

The end of Revelation reminds us that the church relates to her King not only as an army engaged in spiritual warfare, but also as a bride preparing for her wedding day. The Lord has chosen us for Himself. At the conclusion of the age, when all of His enemies are defeated, the church of... Continue Reading

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
