If Matter Is All There Is, Where Did Persons Come From?

Since God is personal, your personhood is not an accident, and your conscience is not an illusion.

Written by John Samson | Tuesday, January 13, 2026

If the universe is ultimately impersonal, then personhood is an accident, and meaning is an illusion, and conscience is a chemical trick. But we do not live that way. We live as though truth matters, as though love matters, as though right and wrong are real, and as though persons have value. The worldview has... Continue Reading

Good Works in Salvation

Works done in obedience to God are the result of a living and active faith.

Written by Steve Tipton | Tuesday, January 13, 2026

Roman Catholic theologians are in error not by claiming that good works are necessary but only in how they claim them to be necessary. Good works are not a necessary condition for salvation but a necessary result of salvation. In other words, good works do not contribute to the declaration of righteousness in our justification, but they do necessarily... Continue Reading

How to Not Fall Away

Don’t agonize over the weakness of your faith, the holes in your understanding, or the unbelief mixed in with your faith. Be confident in Christ.

Written by William Boekestein | Tuesday, January 13, 2026

Most people who fall away from the faith don’t experience a sudden, Damascus-road-type de-conversion. Studies indicate that a strong majority of those who leave the faith do so gradually. Every time we ignore the urging of our conscience we smooth and broaden the path of apostasy. We need to develop the kind of spiritual disciplines... Continue Reading

Abortion in America After the Fall of Roe: Important Advances and Remaining Challenges

The pro-life movement must continue pressing its case in the courts by challenging the constitutionality of shield laws.

Written by David Closson | Tuesday, January 13, 2026

Despite the steady progress achieved by pro-lifers since Dobbs, challenges remain. Perhaps the greatest challenge to the pro-life movement is the prevalence of abortion drugs. In November 2025, The New York Times editorial board rightly observed that “abortion pills have transformed the practice of reproductive medicine.” In fact, it is estimated that over 63% of abortions now take place through...

Administrative Committee Nominates Fred Greco for PCA Stated Clerk

The 53rd PCA General Assembly will consider Greco’s nomination to serve as stated clerk when it convenes in Louisville on June 22-26, 2026.

Written by Andy Jones | Monday, January 12, 2026

He grew up near Buffalo, New York, and studied Classics and history at the University of Buffalo, after which he completed a master’s degree in Classics at the University of Chicago. After earning his law degree at the University of Michigan Law School,... Continue Reading

Why Good Works Matter

God created us to manifest love by our good deeds.

Written by Harrison Perkins | Monday, January 12, 2026

By ruling creation in righteousness, we would have displayed God’s loving character throughout the world. By serving God in the obedience that He created us to perform, we would have reciprocated God’s amazing love to us. Before sin, God’s law was not a miserly imposition. It was a blueprint to show us how best to... Continue Reading

Eight Shadows That Jesus Will Chase Away

O! what joy some of His people have found in His manifesting of Himself in the gospel!

Written by James Renwick | Monday, January 12, 2026

The ordinances themselves are means in Christ’s hand, and do not hide Him from the believer, but rather give a representation of Him. Yet it is only a small and dark glance that they give of Him (1 Cor. 13:12). In the ordinances we do see Him, but only as in a glass darkly, or... Continue Reading

What Does It Look Like to “Put On” Compassionate Hearts?

Love as God loves you.

Written by Edward T. Welch | Monday, January 12, 2026

Weeping is often compassion’s signature. Find compassion in Jesus’s response to a hard-hearted Jerusalem: “And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it” (Luke 19:41). Paul responds in a similar way to the Corinthians: “For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not... Continue Reading

A Seminary Professor Predicted the Cellphone a Century Ago

Everyone knows that the future is unknowable. What we sometimes fail to understand is that the present is unknowable as well.

Written by Jim Denison | Monday, January 12, 2026

The omniscient God who created and transcends time is our best source for facing our fears of the future. He sees tomorrow better than we can see today. Our Father can therefore prepare us now for what comes next while shaping our unseen circumstances for his greatest glory and our greatest good. All the while,... Continue Reading

The Doctrine of Christian Certainty

We have this assurance from the mouth and heart of the One who is Truth Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Written by Mark J. Henninger | Monday, January 12, 2026

Once we know Him; and are convinced by the Holy Spirit that He is who He claimed to be–we are able to see clearly that any religion that fails to put Him (Jesus) at the heart of their worldview or perspective, is ipso facto (automatically) fallacious.  Our understanding of this does not necessitate our becoming obnoxious or unpleasant;...
