The Decay of the World and the Love of God

Do you ever find yourself wondering if God really cares?

Written by Tim Challies | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

God freely makes use of the evil actions of men to bring about the best of his plans and accomplish the best of his purposes—purposes like the preservation of his people through famine and the salvation of his people through Christ’s crucifixion. Even the greatest evil is God’s servant to accomplish great good.   Do... Continue Reading

Ending the Demand for Abortion

A wide range of circumstances drive women to seek abortion, and there are concrete steps we can take to reduce the demand.

Written by Jonathon Van Maren | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

In a society where women often need to return to work shortly after birth, where it is far cheaper to procure an abortion than to give birth in a hospital, and where many of the current policies penalize childbirth and childbearing and incentivize abortion, we believe that creative policy-making can bring about relief for many...

The Impossibility of Transgenderism

The biological sex of an individual is discovered, not assigned.

Written by David Haines | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

We are born male or female. We are, therefore, male or female. And one becomes, through reproduction, a mother or father. The way we manifest our identity as a man or a woman is going to either conform to “socio-cultural standards” or be a form of reaction against these same socio-cultural standards, or be a...

Human Rights? Only for Some Humans

Do humans have rights because they are human, or are there some other criteria for deciding which humans are worthy of human-rights protections?

Written by Don and Joy Veinot | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

State governments, the Federal Government, and Supreme Court have been clear and consistent throughout U.S. history: Rights and Constitutional protections are not for allhumans; those protections are only for those legally recognized as persons—according to whatever subjective criteria the ruling elite are using at any given time. Focusing the argument on Human Rights protects innocent life on... Continue Reading

Why Should Christians Care about Church History?

We have no idea of where we are going if we do not know where we have come from.

Written by Michael A.G. Haykin | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

We study the history of God’s people to see what God has been doing in the world, and so praise him for his mighty acts in the past, and trust that he will display his power and glory afresh in our day.   How We View History In Jane Austen’s novel Northanger Abbey, one of the... Continue Reading

True Friends in Ministry

The one who surrounds himself with godly counselors has understanding, walks intentionally forward, and finds success.

Written by Matthew Adams | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

We see Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah standing the test of time. They are wise and godly. When they needed to stand in the face of temptation, they stood while everyone else bowed. Together they kept the faith, even in the middle of Babylon.   Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense,     but... Continue Reading

The Slow Work of Sabbath Rest

The continuous shaping of the Sabbath equips, prepares, challenges, and changes us.

Written by Greg Wilbur | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

Lord’s Day worship imperceptively reorients our affections towards heaven and away from earthly concerns, towards the eternal rather than those things that are passing away, to the way of the cross instead of our own comfort.   Whenever I get the opportunity to speak about worship in either a Sunday School series or an Inquirers...

Thinking Carefully about Our Approach with Church Visitors

Detoxification from evangelicalism is a very long process and transition to a Reformed church is not an easy one for former evangelicals.

Written by Pastor Chris Gordon | Tuesday, February 7, 2023

Discipleship should go far beyond a few weeks of membership classes. Great patience and effort is needed to love our neighbors and help them in honoring their membership vows before Christ. Ministering to those exiting evangelicalism will by no means be an easy endeavor, but it very well may be the unique mission field that... Continue Reading

Update on Votes on PCA Book of Church Order Amendments: Overtures 8 and 15 Have Failed

Overture 15, disqualifying from church office men who describe themselves as homosexuals, and Overture 8, on higher courts assuming original jurisdiction, failed to receive approval of 2/3 of the presbyteries.

Written by Staff | Monday, February 6, 2023

As of February 4, 2023, at least 69 presbyteries have voted and the results thus far indicate that ten of the proposed amendments have received the necessary approval 2/3 of presbyteries, receiving at least 59 presbyteries voting in favor. Two of the amendments were not approved, with Overture 15 garnering approval from 57% of the... Continue Reading

What Is the Beatific Vision?

The beatific vision is the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise that we will see God.

Written by Sinclair Ferguson | Monday, February 6, 2023

The main way we are to think of the beatific vision is God has made Himself visible in the most perfect way that human beings are capable of apprehending, that is, in Jesus Christ. For example, the New Testament speaks about seeing the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.   The beatific... Continue Reading
