Murder Or Miracle In The Cathedral: Two Augustines!

Whenever anyone is “born again” or “born from above,” a miracle takes place, whether in a cathedral, a church, or anywhere else!

Written by Helen Louise Herndon | Monday, May 16, 2022

While enrapt in the progress of this mystery, I was suddenly jolted by a common misunderstanding of many relating to the need for conversion and what it means to be a Christian. Augustine of Canterbury may have been born an Anglican, but he could not be born a Christian. One may be born a Muslim,... Continue Reading

Manitoba’s First Medically Assisted Death In A Church Was An ‘Intimate’ Ceremony

Betty Sanguin spent her last day with family and friends at Churchill Park United. Sanguin chose to die in the sanctuary that day.

Written by Emily Standfield | Monday, May 9, 2022

But this was no ordinary church service. Sanguin chose to die in the sanctuary that day. Last spring, Sanguin was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). And when she decided to access medical assistance in dying (MAiD), she wanted the procedure to happen at her church. Churchill Park United’s leadership team unanimously approved her request,...

What Jordan Peterson Can Teach the Church About Men and Meaning

Our spiritual needs are not limited to salvation—sometimes a thoughtful unbeliever can have a better grasp of those needs than most Christians do.

Written by Shane Morris | Wednesday, May 4, 2022

Peterson’s message is not sufficient to rescue anyone–including him–from God’s righteous judgment. But it has proven a strikingly effective antidote to the spiritual chaos men face in today’s world. The church should take notes, even as we pray Peterson follows the meaning he preaches to its true source.   I recently wrote something on Facebook... Continue Reading

Why Good Doctrine Matters in the Light of Heinous Sin

The Bible teaches that none of us are good enough to get ourselves to God.

Written by Stephen Kneale | Sunday, May 1, 2022

When stacked against his holiness, Isaiah 64:6 says even our very best deeds are like filthy rags. They are not good enough to do anything to overcome the weigh of our sin. If there were a divine set of scales, on one side would be an infinitely heavy block of sin and on the other the weightless... Continue Reading

A Martyr’s Last Letter to His Mother

A personal glimpse of our brother and father in the faith, Guido de Brès.

Written by Wes Bredenhof | Wednesday, April 27, 2022

“And now, my good mother, I beg you to show yourself as a virtuous woman in your afflictions, and bear patiently and joyfully  this trial that God has sent you, knowing that it is the good will of God against which no one can resist, even if he would.  Live the rest of your days...

Why Andrew Brunson Never Heard from God in Prison

God was doing something much bigger with that movement of prayer than just sustaining me and then delivering me from prison. There was something much bigger going on.

Written by Lindy Lowry | Saturday, April 23, 2022

Even though it was two years of the silence of God, I came out with a different intimacy, more confidence in my relationship with Him, which comes from having been tested and proving myself. It’s the difference between a soldier who has been trained and has skills, and one who has the same training and... Continue Reading

Mongol Leaders and Their Christian Wives

The khans’ toleration of Christianity had much to do with the intercession of their wives.

Written by Simonetta Carr | Saturday, April 23, 2022

Sorghaghtani, Doquz, and Maria were only some of the many influential khatuns who steered the hearts of their Mongol khans to favor and promote the Christian communities in their lands. In fact, Pope Nicholas IV sent several letters to Christian women in Mongol courts to encourage them to continue their service to God. These included Elegag and Uruk, wives... Continue Reading

What I Wish I’d Known When I Was 19 And Had Sex Reassignment Surgery

At 19, I had surgery for sex reassignment; now closer to 50 it might be helpful for young people, and their parents, to hear what I wish I had known.

Written by Corinna Cohn | Monday, April 18, 2022

Surgery unshackled me from my body’s urges, but the destruction of my gonads introduced a different type of bondage. From the day of my surgery, I became a medical patient and will remain one for the rest of my life. I must choose between the risks of taking exogenous estrogen, which include venous thromboembolism and... Continue Reading

A Personal Report from the Ukrainian Battlefront

Today I watch photos and videos from liberated cities and villages of Kyiv region all day. My native Kyiv region.

Written by Ukrainian Woman | Wednesday, April 6, 2022

Every time you tell me about the great Russian painting, I will tell you about the peaceful Ukrainians shot in the back in the Makariv district. And before they could shoot, the orcs tied their hands. About hundreds of corpses on the streets of Bucha, Irpen, Gostomel. About mass graves in the yards of residential... Continue Reading

The Lion of the Secession: Alexander Moncrieff and the Strength of the Church

If we would see revival and reformation it needs to start in the hearts of the people of God.

Written by Rev. Benjamin Glaser | Monday, April 4, 2022

What would Moncrieff’s solution be to our troubles today? More Jesus Christ. Not His glory mixed with the wisdom of men, but His power and His gifts alone being the source of our trust and hope.   In my study right next to a deer skull/antler mount is a picture of Seceder and original Marrow...
