‘Sola Scriptura’ Radicalized and Abandoned

"Scripture alone" doesn't mean "me alone

Written by Matthew Barrett, TGC | Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Second, tradition is not a second infallible source of divine revelation alongside Scripture; nevertheless, where it is consistent with Scripture it can and does act as a ministerial authority. The historic creeds and confessions are a case in point. While the Nicene Creed and the Chalcedonian Creed are not to be considered infallible sources divine... Continue Reading

Age of Intolerance: The War on Religion

Things may be worse now for more Christians than at any time in history, including under the Roman Empire

Written by Barney Zwartz | Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Secularists also tend to think of Christians as the oppressor, not the oppressed. When they picture persecution, they turn to history: the crusades, the Inquisition, Europe’s savage 17th century religious wars, and colonial exploitation. But, as John Allen observes: ”Today we do not live on the pages of a Dan Brown potboiler, in which Christians... Continue Reading

Until There is No Need for a Gatekeeper

Is it right to read without discernment, to let every claim about God, his Word, and man in the gate of acceptance?

Written by Aimee Byrd | Wednesday, November 6, 2013

My ultimate freedom is not in my choice of books. I long for that ultimate freedom that I will have in eternity, when I will be free from sin. I won’t have to worry about separating the truth from the lie, because I will only being living in 100% pure truth. I will no longer... Continue Reading

ENDA and the Christian Response

ENDA poses great problems for religious practice—particularly for business owners who are Christians.

Written by Andrew Walker | Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Though the bill makes a narrow exemption for explicitly religious institutions and employers, ENDA undermines the Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom by preventing many employers with religious objections to homosexual and transgender behavior from conducting their businesses in accordance with the dictates of their faith.   This week the Senate is poised to take up...

Marriage Isn’t For You

Selfishness demands, “What’s in it for me?”, while Love asks, “What can I give?”

Written by Seth Adam Smith | Wednesday, November 6, 2013

My dad giving his response to my concerns was such a moment for me. With a knowing smile he said, “Seth, you’re being totally selfish. So I’m going to make this really simple: marriage isn’t for you. You don’t marry to make yourself happy, you marry to make someone else happy. More than that, your... Continue Reading

10 Reasons Why We Must Love Unlovable Church Members

Some people are really hard to love.

Written by Chuck Lawless, Christian Post | Wednesday, November 6, 2013

We are all sometimes unlovable. All of us sometimes act less than Christian. Maybe nobody sees it, and perhaps it doesn’t happen often – but it’s still un-Christlike. We, too, will have those days when we need undeserved love. Perhaps others will model then the love we’ve first shown them.   I was a young pastor,... Continue Reading

SJC Decides Against Assuming Original Jurisdiction over Leithart

The judgment concludes that BCO 34-1 does not allow the General Assembly to assume original jurisdiction over a case that has already been adjudicated

Written by Lane Keister | Tuesday, November 5, 2013

There were three overtures in the last General Assembly requesting the SJC to take over original jurisdiction in the Leithart case. The SJC has ruled on those three overtures in the negative. The reasoning of the overtures was that a mistrial should have been declared, given the conflict of interest of the prosecutor. Given, then,... Continue Reading

Immediate Actions To End An Affair

Step to help couples through the sin of an affair.

Written by Tim Lane | Tuesday, November 5, 2013

Help the couple know how to pray. The spouse who has committed adultery needs to remember that their sin cannot trump God’s grace if they are sincerely sorry for what they have done and have genuinely begun the process of repentance. The person who has been betrayed must believe that the grace of God is... Continue Reading

Same-Sex Parenting: Reading Past the Headlines

Because of the limited amount of solid studies on same-sex parenting, it is too early to claim a consensus.

Written by David Gordon | Tuesday, November 5, 2013

To put it bluntly, statistics is a messy science. Previous statistical studies have not adequately established a consensus because almost all of these studies have been substantially subpar.   Although it can be tempting to jump to conclusions, more studies with large, randomly-selected samples must be conducted before it will be clear whether there are...

Spiritual Formation in Emerging Adulthood

A Review of Spiritual Formation in Emerging Adulthood: A Practical Theology for College and Young Adult Ministry

Written by Jonathan Huggins | Tuesday, November 5, 2013

This is really a fantastic resource for those who minister to, and want to understand, the present generation of 18-30 year olds. As a College Chaplain, I found the work full of practical insights that will contribute to how I relate to, communicate with, and preach the gospel to my students.   David P. Setran...
