Identifying Stressors And Pressures

Over the years, my wife and I have often encountered ministry couples who had no one else to confide in. Hearing from them highlighted just how much we all need care. No matter what type of ministry you’re in, you’ve probably experienced some of the stressors and pressures that come with this work. You may... Continue Reading
Congregational Singing as Pastoral Work
Pastoral Reflections on BCO 51.
We should not choose music randomly, as though the service were a playlist. There should be an internal coherence to what we are doing: we gather before God, confess faith, confess sin, hear the Word, respond in praise, and depart with blessing. Song selection should serve that movement. When modern Christians talk about “worship,”... Continue Reading
The Resurrection of the Body
The faith once delivered for all the saints has been one with a future hope of bodily resurrection.
The great future hope we have for the next life is life. Not an ethereal, floaty, disembodied intangible existence. New bodies, experiencing a new life forever, never again to be corrupted through sin or under the curse. 25 I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the... Continue Reading
Do You Love Your Body?
Book Review: “Love Thy Body,” by Nancy Pearcey
Love Thy Body is an extended consideration of what a Christian ethic of the body is. Pearcey contrasts the Christian and the dualistic contemporary Western understanding of the body.

On the Trail of the Covenanters
Joshua Kellard relates why the witness of the Scottish Covenanters is worthy of the earnest attention of evangelical Christians today. The first two episodes of The Covenanter Story are now available.
In producing these videos, our goal has not been primarily polemical. We are not seeking to defend the Covenanters in any systematic or thorough way from the claims of historians unfriendly to their aims and sceptical of their character or methods. … Rather, our goal has been to introduce the outline of the Covenanter story,...

Is Feminism Compatible With Christianity? “Something Wicked” Says Absolutely Not
“Something Wicked” asks us to take a step back and evaluate an ideology that pursues pure individual autonomy by trampling upon the lives of others.
A Christian is made by submitting oneself to Christ and the Church. One wonders if those original first-wave feminists could have possibly imagined just how many external authorities—including basic biology—their idol of autonomy would call upon its adherents to reject. At the end of Kate Chopin’s nineteenth-century novel, The Awakening, protagonist Edna Pontillier steps... Continue Reading
The Disappearance of Natural Law in Technological Society
Romano Guardini and the loss of organic culture.
We are no longer able to be limited by natural laws observable in the created order. Those laws become merely obstacles to be overcome through technological mastery in order to accomplish our economic or technological ends. This might be one reason why natural law has become forgotten in modern society, not because it truly is... Continue Reading
