Indiana Demands Child Advocates Abandon Baby Box Effort

State welfare agency claims the Safe Haven boxes violate state law

Written by Kiley Crossland | Sunday, June 26, 2016

In a letter sent in early June to Safe Haven Baby Boxes, the nonprofit organization that installed the boxes, Indiana’s Department of Child Services (DCS) said the boxes are not a legal way for mothers to give up their babies. Women who use the boxes could face child abandonment charges, the agency warned. But Safe... Continue Reading

The Declaration of Independence: ‘Systemically Racist’?

As inspiring as it is, the Declaration was a very human document

Written by Thomas S. Kidd | Tuesday, June 14, 2016

The greatest ideal animating the American experiment is here: the notion of equality by creation. In other words, whatever our social standing, we all stand equal before God as created beings. Earlier statements like the Virginia Declaration of Rights had spoken more vaguely of people as being “by nature” equal, but here Jefferson and his... Continue Reading

Confession and History: The Westminster Confession & the God of History

God is Lord of history even in the mundane affairs of this world

Written by Jeffrey C. Waddington | Saturday, June 4, 2016

“God is sovereign over all history. Not just the religious parts. Redemptive history and post-biblical history are a subset of universal history. Understanding how economics, religion, politics, and social movements (like educational reform) operate in God’s world does not rule his existence and activity out of order.”   The chapters on God and his relation...

Confession and History: Listening Backward and Looking Ahead

Historic confessions are a good thing. They help to orient our hearts and minds to bigger truths, showcasing for us an older church that has gone before us, a church which served us well

Written by Stephen Unthank | Tuesday, May 31, 2016

“Being a part of a church that aligns itself with an historic confession is being in a church that aligns itself within an historical identity. In other words, the church is saying that they are not coming up with anything new. They are saying that God’s people have always been bigger and older and broader... Continue Reading

Anglican Rift Over Same-Sex Marriage Widens

Conservative Anglicans reiterated their frustration with the U.K.-based Anglican Communion over the growing divide on same-sex marriage.

Written by Leigh Jones | Sunday, May 8, 2016

“We went to Canterbury out of a desire for unity,” the GAFCON primates wrote in a statement issued after the meeting. “In our hearts we desire to see the tear in the fabric of the communion mended. The sanctions passed at that meeting were the mildest possible rebuke to only the worst of the offenders,... Continue Reading

5 Reasons You Need the Westminster Shorter Catechism

Here are five reasons I consider this catechism worth engaging today

Written by Andrew Conway | Saturday, April 30, 2016

“Of course there are plenty of other documents that can help with this study. It’s likewise true the Shorter Catechism goes a bit beyond the core on some matters. Nevertheless, the first 38 questions and answers offer a succinct, clear, and heartwarming summary of central Christian beliefs.”   My first encounter with the Westminster Shorter Catechism...

The Doctrine of Imputation: The Ligonier Statement on Christology

The word "imputation" is an accounting term; it means “to apply to one’s account.”

Written by Stephen Nichols | Tuesday, April 19, 2016

“The doctrine of imputation—the crediting of our sin to Him and of His obedience to us—is essential to this gospel. It shows us why the gospel is such good news—Christ really has done it all. He has met our Creator’s standard of perfection for us, so we never need to fear the Lord’s wrath if... Continue Reading

Colorado Woman Convicted Of Assaulting Mom, But Not Murdering Baby

One of 12 states that don’t allow prosecution for fetal homicide, Colorado has been a battleground for pro-life advocates.

Written by Samantha Gobba | Thursday, March 24, 2016

Activists have worked unsuccessfully for years to give unborn babies in Colorado more legal protection. In 2008 and 2010, a group called Personhood Colorado put initiatives on the ballot to grant personhood to unborn babies. Both attempts failed. In 2013, following the 2012 death of unborn baby Brady Surovik, Colorado passed the Crimes Against Pregnant... Continue Reading

Southern Presbyterian Church On Dispensationalism In 1944

Dispensationalism rejects the doctrine that God has, since the fall, but one “plan of salvation” for all mankind and affirms that God has been through the ages “administering” various and diverse plans

Written by R. Scott Clark | Tuesday, March 1, 2016

“Dispensationalism teaches that God has at least two distinct peoples, namely, the Jewish Nation and the Christian Church. He has distinctly different purposes for them, and each of these two peoples is united to Him by various and diverse covenants.”   Report of the Ad Interim Committee on Changes in the Confession of Faith and...

Living As Resident Aliens (1 Peter 1:13–21)

We don't live in two worlds simultaneously, but we have "two lives"

Written by R. Scott Clark | Tuesday, October 20, 2015

“We are live as those who have been redeemed. The logic of Peter’s instruction is clear. Our future salvation is not contingent upon our behavior now. It is not even contingent upon our cooperation with grace. Our present life is, however, to be shaped by that future favor of which we are now in possession... Continue Reading
