Book Review: A Theology of Hebrews
This book would be a great read for those in ministry and seminary, or others who want to have a theological introduction to Hebrews.

To Honour God: The Spirituality of Oliver Cromwell
Book Review: A collection of letters and extracts from Cromwell with an introduction written by historian Michael Haykin.
Cromwell’s experience and theology of conversion are key to his understanding of the Christian life. Together they affirmed the goodness of God’s wise sovereignty and his eternal rest in Christ. The life of Oliver Cromwell is fascinating. From his role in the 17th century English civil war, to his appointment as “Lord Protector” (head... Continue Reading
The Already and the Not Yet
While God's promises are being fulfilled in and through Jesus, they are not yet complete. There's more to come.
Understanding the end and how the end has been brought into the present helps situate us in the story of the Bible, and helps us understand where we sit in the unfolding message of the Bible. And it orients the way we should think about God’s promises as already begun to be fulfilled, but not... Continue Reading

How Family Leadership Trains You for Church Leadership (Book Review)
A man’s qualification for ministry cannot be separated from his leadership in the home. “The family is a vital training and testing ground for church leaders.

Book Review: Spurgeon’s Sorrows—Realistic Hope for Those Who Suffer from Depression
Behind the sermons, quotes, and books was a man who often walked through deep fog and valleys of darkness.
The book, thankfully, doesn’t offer neat answers, tied up firmly like a shoelace. It doesn’t promise that darkness will lift, but what it does do is point to Christ. It points to Christ to declare that He is the one who truly understands what we may be going through. Would it surprise you to... Continue Reading
The Fourfold State of Human Nature: Innocence (State 1)
In this conditional covenant of works, God promised man life if he kept God’s law in this trial of obedience.
“By the favor of God, [man] was advanced to be confederate with Heaven, in the first Covenant, called, The Covenant of Works. God reduced the Law, which he gave in his creation, into the form of a Covenant, whereof perfect obedience was the condition: life was the thing promised, and death the penalty. As for...

An Answer to the Critics of Jesus Calling
Since Sarah passed away in 2023, it falls to us, her family, to bring clarity to another wave of misinformed criticism that has now infiltrated the PCA that Sarah loved and served for decades.
God has used Sarah’s simple testimony to save and encourage thousands of suffering people, which should be a cause for celebration. Instead, the PCA will choose to distance itself from Jesus Calling through the reports of the upcoming General Assembly. While this is hard for her family, we rest in the knowledge that God is...

Review of ‘Good and Angry’ by David Powlison
God uses His Word to reveal the true nature of anger and graciously provides the way of escape.
‘Good & Angry’ is an excellent resource for pastors, counselors, or believers who want to deepen their understanding of biblical anger or seek help in overcoming their struggles. David Powlison’s extensive counseling experience enabled him to write a theologically astute and practical book on anger that not only addresses the issue biblically but also offers...

The Boldest Prayer in the Bible
If we’re not asking for much in prayer, we don’t get much from God.
Moses asks to see God in all his glory. But no one can see God and live (33:20)! Has Moses lost his mind? Or is he perhaps as close to the heart of God that he’s ever been? Is he actually asking God for the exact sort of thing that God wants to give? Indeed, God’s... Continue Reading
Do You Doubt That the Bible Is Really True?
Continue to lean into the struggle to believe.
The meaning of the Bible is clear enough, and deep down we know that this is a credible book that has the ring of truth to it. What we should do as we’re studying the Bible and asking for God’s help is also just put into practice what the Bible says. We may become more... Continue Reading
