Westminster II
Challenges of historical and institutional continuity at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia.
Or could it also be that the same sort of candor that Machen demanded of liberal Presbyterians has been in short supply among those Middle Westminster types who benefited from the institution’s reputation but failed to acknowledge it — even worse, disparaged it? Looks like (and we’ve known this for some time) that Protestants... Continue Reading
Students Talk Guns, Safety After Mass Shootings
Jerry Falwell Jr.’s suggestion to get concealed-carry permits is not a bad idea, some students say
“It just blows my mind when I see the president of the United States say that the answer to circumstances like that is more gun control,” Falwell said in his closing remarks Friday night. “If some of those people in that community center had had what I’ve got in my back pocket right now …”...

Big Win For Canadian Christian Law School
A Canadian high court has restored the Law Society of British Columbia’s 2014 decision to recognize future graduates of Trinity Western University’s law school
The decision marks another turning point in TWU’s years-long battle to open the country’s first Christian law school. The B.C. Law Society overwhelmingly approved the proposed law school for accreditation in April 2014, but the members later voted to reverse the decision under pressure from LGBT activists, who said the school’s policy against homosexual practice...

“I Am Called a Cult Leader. I Really Don’t Care.”
How one of the world’s most beloved worship songs reportedly helped to fuel spiritual abuse at Wayne Jolley’s The Gathering International
A growing number of Jolley’s former followers do care. They turned to Jolley for pastoral care in a time of need, believing he was a man of God with a worldwide ministry. In return, they claim, he took their money and tried to ruin their families. They also claim that Jolley’s ministry has covered up... Continue Reading
Is There A Crisis In Conservative Protestantism?
Conservative Protestantism in the USA—at least its broadly reformed strand with which I am familiar—could be said to be, if not in crisis, then certainly moving toward such.
I do not believe that Protestants need to become Roman Catholics but we do need to understand the problems which beset us from within. The big money parachurch ministries depend upon constant recreation of a market for theological kitsch, and theological kitsch drives out the kind of deep thought which really does need to be...

Wheaton College Says View Of Islam, Not Hijab, Got Christian Teacher Suspended
Wheaton College suspends professor wearing hijab to support Muslims — for her explanation, not the act.
Instead, Hawkins, a tenured political science professor at the private evangelical Christian college, proclaimed on social media that Christians and Muslims share the same God and was suspended by the college. “I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book,” she posted Friday on Facebook. “And...

Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission Panel Denounces Anti-Muslim Policies
The Southern Baptist event’s participants define a gospel-oriented approach to refugees
While acknowledging the importance of security, Moore dismissed Trump and Graham’s idea as one that would come back to haunt Christians: “The conversations we’ve been having over the last couple of days ought to make the hair on the back of the neck of every Christian in the U.S. stand up. It’s not only an... Continue Reading
How To Care For Your Missionary On Furlough
Furlough is not a vacation time for missionaries; it is long and hard work visiting with supporting churches.
Furlough is an emotionally exhausting, painful, wonderful, whirlwind of joy and stress. Most missionaries do furlough wrong and they need your help to save them from themselves. It is important for you and your church to hear from your missionary and share in how God is being glorified in far off lands. It is also... Continue Reading
Erskine College’s Accreditation Reaffirmed by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
Erskine College and Seminary has received full reaffirmation of its accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges
“The extended Erskine family came together in some special ways this past year,” Kooistra said. “We had to make some tough decisions that really affected our faculty and staff. I am thankful for their continued commitment to Erskine’s mission in the midst of these challenges. And, of course, we are grateful to our alumni and... Continue Reading
Missions Is People, Not Projects
Doing missions by focusing on projects is easier than focusing on people; it shouldn’t have to be this way.
Missionaries are called to risk their pride, gamble their health and jeopardize their lives so fellow sinners can grow closer to the Lord. The beggar, prostitute, drug addict, shut in, single mom and wino are people God has placed in your path so you can share his radical mercy. Frankly, projects are benign, people are...
