A Reading in Aquinas, with Commentary: Or, a Problem with Theological Retrieval Demonstrated

No human art can accurately represent Christ as he is now. Jesus’ present appearance is such that John strained the limits of description to give an idea of it and was overwhelmed (Rev. 1:12-17).

Written by Tom Hervey | Thursday, November 9, 2023

Our objection to worshiping images is that it is idolatry because that worship does not pass through them to Christ, but is actually just worshiping artwork in the same way that ancient idolaters were actually just worshiping statues. Such images do not direct our devotion to Christ, but away from him (who is invisible to... Continue Reading

Profane Sacrament

A Deeper Evil Than Other Forms of Murder

Written by Zephram Foster | Thursday, November 9, 2023

 If you’ve gone to a clinic or hospital or pharmacy to try to erase what you thought was a mistake, if you’ve killed your child only to receive heartache, pain, remorse, and more suffering, that doesn’t need to be the end of the story. This universe was created by a God who chose to walk... Continue Reading

On the Nature and Frequency of the Celebration of the Lord’s Supper

Every bit of data we possess points us in the direction that the early church celebrated the Lord’s Supper whenever they assembled for worship as Jesus had instructed them to do.

Written by Kim Riddlebarger | Thursday, November 9, 2023

In the absence of frequent observance of the Lord’s Supper, the gap created in the apostolic order of worship becomes rather noticeable. There is a reason why those fundamentalists who stand in the revivalist tradition place the “altar call” or an appeal to make some sort of re-dedication or re-commitment to Christ at the end...

Four Perspectives on the Current Middle East Crisis

There are those who openly side with Hamas, and on the other extreme, those who promote unconditional support for the nation Israel as a religious obligation. In the middle are two other views.

Written by Grover Gunn | Wednesday, November 8, 2023

An understanding of these particular perspectives will help clarify the division over the current crisis in the Middle East. Christians who oppose Marxist ideology and who agree on the root essentials of the faith should maintain their Christian fellowship even if they have different approaches to this particular question.   On October 7, 2023, terrorists...

The Problem with Servant Leadership

Evangelicals promote a vision of masculinity so bleak, no wonder men don’t want to sign up for it.

Written by Aaron M. Renn | Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Many influencers offer teenage boys an aspirational vision of manhood. Some, like Mr. Peterson, say men are important for the sake of others, but present it as part of a heroic vision of masculinity in which men flourish as well. “You have some vital role to play in the unfolding destiny of the world,” he...

The Slow Death of the Christian West

How Paganism has Re-Emerged Through the Failure of the Church to Be Faithful

Written by Benjamin Glaser | Sunday, November 5, 2023

It begins with the Church recognizing first how pagan it has become, then rooting out our rotten structures and rebuilding them in the eyes of the Word and His word. We can’t hope to overturn the advances of Satan with a gospel that doesn’t even move those who already believe it. Our preaching must be... Continue Reading

What Does it Mean to Become “One Flesh”

“Becoming one flesh” can be understood as the merging of two lives in such a covenant, implying a lifelong commitment and deep unity.

Written by C. Michael Patton | Sunday, November 5, 2023

Beyond the physical aspect, many believe it refers to the deep emotional and spiritual bond that forms between a married couple. This bond is characterized by love, trust, understanding, and a shared life. This bond is only realized through the radical transparency that a married couple has, both physically and emotionally.   Therefore, a man... Continue Reading

Silence

For those of us who sometimes struggle to be “slow to anger,” we ought to focus on being, “slow to speak.”

Written by Adsum Try Ravenhill | Saturday, November 4, 2023

It is my desire to, “put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word” even in the face of darkness and evil. As a result of that, I have made a promise to myself—and now to my readers—not to lash out in anger, even when I feel justified in doing so.... Continue Reading

What Did You Plan to be Hated For?

Christians are no longer hated for grace, but for nature.

Written by Rhys Laverty | Friday, November 3, 2023

We live in a world that is not scandalised by the claim that Christ is Saviour or Lord. We don’t even get that far. Rather, the world is scandalised by the claim that Christ is the Creator. And this means that our conversations (or attempts at them) increasingly stop far short of discussions about the... Continue Reading

Christian Nationalism in a Managerial Nation

Preserving a Christian way of life within a bureaucratic system.

Written by Kruptos | Friday, November 3, 2023

With the Christian faith pushed off the main stage, technical managerialism has played a dual role as both a kind of religion and, at the same time, a substitute for the metaphysical superstructure that the Christian hierarchy of being used to provide. The managerial system, whether in its governmental form or, as we find it... Continue Reading
