“God Made All of Me”

It’s one of the greatest fears for a parent — that their child will become a victim of sexual abuse

Written by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb | Tuesday, September 22, 2015

“The book is for two to eight year old boys and girls. We wrote it because we have two young children and know that parents need tools to help them address body parts with their kids and to help them understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touch.”   It’s perhaps one of the greatest fears...

The Christian School, American Liberty, and the Christian Faith

An excerpt from a speech J. G. Machen gave in 1933 at the “Educational Convention of the National Union of Christian Schools”

Written by Shane Lems | Monday, September 21, 2015

I can see little consistency in a type of Christian activity which preaches the gospel on the street corners and at the ends of the earth but neglects the children of the covenant by abandoning them to a cold and unbelieving secularism.  If, indeed, the Christian school were in any sort of competition with the...

War Room – Actually Pretty Good

The story line of the movie War Room is very credible – for the average middle class evangelical

Written by Reed DePace | Saturday, September 19, 2015

“At first I wasn’t sure about this movie. In the first 45 minutes there was no specific mention of Jesus or even anything that could be considered exclusively Christian. Up to that point if the Christian elements were removed the movie would still have made sense, and still have been interesting, to the non-Christian.”  ... Continue Reading

The Church Is Not The Enemy

Our enemy isn’t the church. Our enemy is the prince of darkness.

Written by Emily T. Wierenga | Saturday, September 19, 2015

“I’ve seen what church can be. It can be the poor helping the poor, Jesus serving his own; the lonely opening up their doors to one another, praise and worship in the midst of sorrow. A shelter for the orphan and widow.”   The rain is like hundreds of bare feet on the roof of our tent trailer... Continue Reading

New Book Announcement: A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the New Testament

Because it is designed primarily to help pastors and Bible study leaders prepare their sermon or lesson, a higher priority is placed on exploring the message of each New Testament book

Written by Michael J. Kruger | Wednesday, September 16, 2015

In other ways, however, this volume is distinctive. One example is the way we have tried to make this volume more accessible to the pastor or even the layman who teaches the Bible in their local church. Generally speaking, New Testament introductions have tended to focus primarily on historical-critical issues related to the background of... Continue Reading

Teaching Kids Church History

There are many useful resources for teaching church history to children and different ways to implement those resources.

Written by Christina Fox | Monday, September 14, 2015

We need to teach our children about the history of the church. Teaching them about the past and how we got to where we are today gives them a foundation in their faith. It helps them see how serious truth is and the lengths we must go to in protecting it. It helps give shape... Continue Reading

Why Must We Forgive?: A Review

The forgiveness Christians receive in Christ is the foundation for forgiveness of others

Written by Aimee Byrd | Sunday, September 13, 2015

Gale highlights the importance of confessing our sins because, “when we confess our sins, we align ourselves with God” (5). We are acknowledging our sin for what it really is and affirming the goodness of God’s law. And God isn’t only merciful to forgive our sins. This verse says that he is faithful and just,...

Something Rotten in the State of Britain

Review of Roger Scruton’s “The Disappeared”

Written by Ian Lindquist | Sunday, September 13, 2015

As a result, it has been estimated that over 1,400 girls were sexually abused from 1997 to 2013—and the Rotherham case is not an isolated incident. There have been at least eight other cases of sexual abuse networks in Britain, all of them involving Muslim men from immigrant communities who, often with the help of... Continue Reading

Cults, Language, Terms, Definitions

If you’ve ever talked to a Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness, you probably noticed they used Christian terms quite openly.

Written by Shane Lems | Friday, September 11, 2015

Next time you a Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness comes to your door, remember when he or she says “Jesus” or “God” or “the Bible” or “faith” or any other Christian term, these terms do not mean what we Christians mean by them.  It’s almost like when the salesman comes to the door and says he’s...

The Narnia Church

The Narnia option is, like Lewis’s books, ecumenical in scope: wounded people from wounded churches desiring wholeness in the Church that we cannot yet see.

Written by Andrew Petiprin | Saturday, September 5, 2015

“Lewis is Mr. Mere Christianity. He does not talk about the Church a lot, although he does so more than many seem to remember. The Screwtape Letters is a great place to look for it. But fair enough. When Lewis set out to champion the Christian faith in his highest profile setting, he explicitly (almost)... Continue Reading
