A Defense of the Good Name of Vanguard Presbytery

A response to some members who have withdrawn from Vanguard Presbytery.

Written by Dewey Roberts | Friday, May 13, 2022

Vanguard Presbytery has had wonderful fellowship for these past two years. Except for this late unpleasantness caused by a few parties who have now left due to their desire to rush to judgment on one issue in violation of the Scripture and our Constitution. Vanguard has new churches that are starting in various places and... Continue Reading

Testimony and Covenant of the Christ Reformed Presbyterian Church

Testimony and Covenant of the Christ Reformed Presbyterian Church, organized as a new Reformed and Presbyterian denomination on May 8, 2022.

Written by Staff | Thursday, May 12, 2022

By God’s grace, under Christ’s authority, we vow to strive for purity, peace, and Scriptural order in the formation of the Christ Reformed Presbyterian Church. Therefore, we endeavor to exclude those who disturb her peace, corrupt her testimony, and subvert her established forms from her communion. Therefore, as previous generations of Presbyterians did before us,... Continue Reading

New Overtures for a Pressing Concern

The overtures address the ongoing controversy surrounding ministerial qualifications, so-called Side B Gay Christianity, and the influence of the Revoice Conference.

Written by Scott Edburg | Wednesday, May 4, 2022

The Overtures Committee’s task is to evaluate the overtures submitted this year by the presbyteries, to revise the overtures (if and where needed), and to make recommendations to the whole of the Assembly as to how best to handle each overture. The OC will present its report and recommendations on Thursday June 23, 2022.  ... Continue Reading

Letter from Scotland 1 – The Church of Scotland – the Final Nail?

The Church of Scotland announced that 29 of its presbyteries were in favour of ministers and deacons conducting the ceremonies of same sex couples should they so wish.

Written by David Robertson | Tuesday, May 3, 2022

I remember when John Chalmers, clerk of the General Assembly stated: “We had a debate which made very clear that we were not interfering with our theological definition of marriage and were not going to the place where ministers or deacons could themselves conducting same sex marriages.”. He lied.  Plain and simple.  He knew that... Continue Reading

Judge Rules 14 South Carolina Churches Must Return Property to Episcopal Diocese

The South Carolina Supreme Court has ruled that 14 parishes that left the Episcopal Church in 2012 to join the Anglican Church in North America must return their property to the Episcopal Church.

Written by Anne Stych | Friday, April 29, 2022

The South Carolina Supreme Court has ruled that 14 parishes that left the Episcopal Church in 2012 to join the Anglican Church in North America must return their property to the Episcopal Church. The parishes had left the denomination over its acceptance of same-sex marriage and its policy that allowed the ordination of gay clergy. The court... Continue Reading

Grove City College: Report and Recommendation of the Special Committee

On February 16, 2022, Grove City College’s Board of Trustees appointed an ad hoc Special Committee to review allegations of mission-drift.

Written by Grove City College Board | Monday, April 25, 2022

“By any standard, GCC remains one of the most conservative colleges in the country. We regret that we cannot expand this report to highlight the evidence in support of that statement. But we commend the many employees and trustees whose teaching, writing, speaking, administration, and leadership continue to make “Freedom’s College”22 a unique institution in... Continue Reading

The State of the PCA

In view of the ruling of the SJC and the defeat of Overtures 23 and 37, what is the next step for conservatives?

Written by David Martin | Saturday, April 16, 2022

It is very easy to conclude that a spiritual cancer has been in the body too long and that there does not appear to be anything that those who are committed to God’s Word can do.  We have tried and we have failed.  Certainly, God can do something to heal the cancer, if He chooses. ...

Fallout over LGBTQ Spouses at Calvin University Captures Broader Evangelical Divide

For years, Calvin University has tried to walk a fine line of being welcoming to students who identify as LGBTQ while still enforcing traditional Christian Reformed Church views on sexuality.

Written by Bob Smietana | Friday, March 25, 2022

“I’m not going to be ashamed for being queer,” Sweda, who ultimately quit her job in order to speak openly about her wedding, said in the Chimes interview. “I’m not going to be ashamed for being married to Annica.” The events reveal the dilemma facing many Christian schools, who want to welcome a diverse range...

Doctrinal Latitude and the PCA

The PCA’s latitudinarians have made clear their belief that the PCA must allow the ordination to sacred office of men who identify themselves by unnatural sexual desires.

Written by Todd Pruitt | Wednesday, March 16, 2022

If the PCA cannot or will not rid itself of gay Christianity, Side-B homosexuality, Revoice, or whatever else you want to call it—we will find ourselves on the boneyard of formerly faithful churches. Such will be the price of this brand of latitude.   Recently, a pastor in the PCA and member of the National... Continue Reading

Actually, We Do Care (3): A Forgotten Third Paradigm

The language of “increased and strengthened” graces, the ability to die “more and more unto sin,” and “continual and irreconcilable war” does not figure prominently in “Still Time to Care.”

Written by Stephen Spinnenweber | Monday, March 14, 2022

Any paradigm of “care” that does not manifest itself in encouraging one’s brother to pursue comprehensive, Spirit-wrought change is caring only in name. Calling on a fellow believer earnestly to desire and actively to seek change at the level of sexual desire is not abusive; it is our duty. As believers we are called to... Continue Reading
