What will happen if this lament, that uses terminology born far outside Scripture, becomes a driving force? Terms originating from some who reject Scripture may unintentionally shape how congregants interpret sin and reconciliation. How can we expect restitution or peace when worldly expressions replace our ecclesiastical language? Naming a group as inherently grieved and another... Continue Reading

As Presbyteries continue to discuss the work of the AIC [Ad Interim Committee], with recommendations scheduled for consideration at the 46th General Assembly in June 2026, PPL editors encouraged readers to examine and consider signing the Red Line Statement. This declaration affirms that “the high calling of ordination is incompatible with a settled identification as... Continue Reading

Second, the OGA accused Jeremiah (although not by name) of “advocating against the work of the General Assembly’s Ad Interim Committee on the ordination of persons with Same Sex Attraction.” During the General Assembly in June, the AIC urged elders to provide critique on their report. In his letter, Jeremiah was exercising his right to... Continue Reading

The next Coordinator of MNA should embrace the spirit of the founders of the PCA. He should shed the entanglements of racial and social issues and embrace an approach to ministry that is “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.”   The former Coordinator of Mission to...

As a ruling elder who once served in the PCA and now serves in the OPC, I can say this merger was not about abandoning one denomination for another. It was about strengthening Christ’s church.

Still, the lack of fixed definitions, standards, or processes for these non-standard, non-officer titles makes ruling on them a subjective matter. Who leads... Continue Reading

The project was led by Michael Foster, a former PCA pastor. The report uncovers “evidence gathered from publicly available websites, live streams, and church documents” that demonstrates that a non-negligible portion of the PCA (7.3% by their estimates) publicly list women in official and titled leadership roles that, according to Foster and his coauthors, “function...

Rough days are coming in the PCA. This incident will cause weeping, gnashing of teeth, sending of letters, and having of meetings. But controversy (and the fact that something like this, which I’ll call Tibergate, is still controversial) is good. It proves one of Machen’s famous lines: “In the sphere of religion, as in other...

Many in the EPC are raising the alarm about the preliminary report from the Ad Interim Committee (AIC) on same sex attraction (SSA) and ordination is that some parts of the report are simply inconsistent with the Scriptures and the Westminster Standards. There must be some motivation driving the convoluted preliminary report which is solidly... Continue Reading

Sin, grace, sanctification, faith, doubt, joy, sorrow, etc, are felt in every congregation, and the only Word that will satisfy the congregation is the better Word of Jesus Christ.   This year, the most shocking thing about GA was not what happened during the Assembly, but after it ended. X was inundated with various “hot... Continue Reading
