I am glad this committee has been established and I hope and pray that it will produce something of value to the church. I, along with Christian Nationalism’s proponents, sincerely hope that the committee will, as they say, “do the reading,” and will likewise avoid any imprudent anathemas of positions within the pale of our...

Although the moral-spiritual benefits of the Sabbath are uppermost, the benefit of the day’s physical rest is important, too. Indeed, the Sabbath’s physical rest facilitates and complements the believer’s resting upon Christ by faith. That heaven has granted to the beasts this rest proves the reality of physical benefit for both man and beast. How?... Continue Reading

It was the approach of New England, which aspired to build a godly commonwealth, replete with established church and the power to expel or punish those that dissented, and to encourage a high view of worldly labors as service to God. That degenerated pretty quickly: New England theology “moved from high orthodoxy around 1650 to... Continue Reading

  Perhaps this seems to be a trifling matter to you. Perhaps you think that the Left is so evil and so near to destroying our whole way of life that the only thing that matters is fighting them, even if it means doing so in alliance (or at least as independent co-belligerents)  with some...

I am a communicant member of Central EPC in St. Louis, and as such I am concerned about how my Session sees how this issue will affect the local church as well as the EPC. Grave concerns have been expressed as to why it is taking so long for the EPC to decide whether or... Continue Reading
