Why the Reformation Still Matters

By stepping into the history of the Reformation, we are better equipped to enjoy the theology of the Reformation.

Written by Derek Brown | Monday, March 9, 2026

Reeves and Chester have distilled the Reformation into its most basic distinctives and presented vital biblical doctrines within their historical context in a way that is informative and interesting, accurate and accessible, educational and edifying. The final product is a book, a little over 200 pages, that will feed the soul of Christians who are... Continue Reading

Identifying Stressors And Pressures

An excerpt from “Together for Good: A Couple's Guide to Thriving in Christian Ministry by Justin Smith”

Written by Justin Smith | Thursday, March 5, 2026

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.

Written by Ben Ratliff | Tuesday, March 3, 2026

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.

Written by Jacob Toman | Tuesday, March 3, 2026

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...

Do You Love Your Body?

Book Review: “Love Thy Body,” by Nancy Pearcey

Written by John Beeson | Wednesday, February 25, 2026

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. She then navigates how these distinctive views of the body play themselves out in everything from abortion to euthanasia to understanding gender and sexuality.   Who... Continue Reading

Do You Have to Choose Between Science and God?

Book Review: The authors tackle the question with younger readers in mind.

Written by Tim Challies | Wednesday, February 25, 2026

Ultimately, the authors invite the reader to do what they themselves have done—to test the claims of Christianity and to enjoy the wonders of this world through the lens of one who sees the existence and attributes of God displayed in the things He has made.   Whatever else young people know today, they know...

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.

Written by Joshua Kellard | Wednesday, February 18, 2026

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.

Written by Mary Elizabeth Cuff | Wednesday, February 11, 2026

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...

The Disappearance of Natural Law in Technological Society

Romano Guardini and the loss of organic culture.

Written by Wyatt Graham | Tuesday, February 10, 2026

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

“Out of the Blues: Dealing with the Blues of Depression and Loneliness,” by Wayne Mack

Book Review: Christians can look to Scripture to discover what God reveals about emotions, morality, and reality.

Written by David Tong | Thursday, January 29, 2026

Out of the Blues, is an incredibly helpful book for the depressed and lonely, and those wanting to help the depressed and lonely. His approach to the subject is gentle and balanced. He does not thunder down on the fainthearted, nor does he coddle the “woe is me” pity party.   Wayne Mack (1935-2025) was... Continue Reading
