In that case, the British Columbia College of Teachers rejected Trinity’s teaching degrees because students had to sign an agreement not to engage in homosexuality. The Supreme Court of Canada said the college was wrong to reject Trinity on the basis of discrimination. The university will press ahead with plans for Canada’s only faith-based law school....

Preaching needs to be much more than an agency of instruction. It needs to strike, awaken, and arouse men and women so that they themselves become bright Christians and daily students of Scripture. If the preacher conceives his work primarily in terms of giving instruction, rather than of giving stimulus, the sermon, in most hands,... Continue Reading

But God has placed this broken momma and this broken boy and their broken little family in the midst of a bigger broken, yet redeemed family, God’s Church. More specifically, God had placed them in their local church body. Why should our local church body care about my little boy with his special needs? Well,... Continue Reading

As Reformed black Christians in the 21st century, we have the privilege of seeing many components coalesce into what could be a movement. We could be nearing the day when thousands of our kinsmen according to the flesh receive God’s mercy and are called “beloved” (Rom. 9). In our lifetime, we may see scores of... Continue Reading

Trinity Western University (TWU) in Langley, British Columbia, received the accreditation despite intense criticism from gay rights groups and some members of the legal community who claim TWU’s community covenant discriminates against homosexuals. A proposed resolution would have refused to recognize Trinity Western graduates, but it failed on a 20-6 vote.   (WNS)–The Law Society... Continue Reading

“The key debate here concerns the historicity of Adam, created—according to Chapter 2 of Genesis—by God’s special formative act. Bryan’s situation is not unique: Professors at many Christian colleges, often influenced by the BioLogos Foundation, contend that God worked through evolution to produce Adam. Some say there were many Adams, others suggest that God made... Continue Reading
