Decade-Long Evolution Controversy Nearly Shuttered Columbia Theological Seminary

Written by Barry Waugh | Thursday, July 10, 2025

The theological issues with Woodrow’s views were never resolved and he continued as a minister in good standing in the PCUS despite having been removed from Columbia Seminary for teaching evolution.   The evolution controversy at Columbia Theological Seminary extended for at least a decade and nearly caused the seminary to close. The source of... Continue Reading

It’s Been Five Years and the Time is Right: An Earnest Appeal to the Authors of 2020’s Heinous Killings Statement at ByFaith

It is now five years since an anonymous group of Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) agency heads and permanent committee coordinators issued a statement on “heinous killings”

Written by Tom Hervey | Tuesday, July 8, 2025

For now it is enough to see that the fevered outbreak it got caught up in has lost much of its momentum and been shown to be the egregious bit of mass hysteria and folly that some always knew it was. The people who chanted ‘silence is violence’ (a malicious, coercive slander) actually contributed to... Continue Reading

Paul Tripp on God’s Truth

God’s Truth is always accompanied by God’s Grace.

Written by Kevin Carson | Sunday, July 6, 2025

Recently, Paul Tripp posted the following on X.com related to God’s truth. I was particularly grateful for what he had to say, and wholeheartedly agree with him. You will be encouraged.   God’s Truth isn’t meant to be restricted to academic theologians, experienced pastors, and seminary presidents. It was given to us by God for... Continue Reading

10 Things You Should Know About George Whitefield

Whitefield was a household name during the eighteenth century—in fact, in many ways, the first evangelical celebrity preacher.

Written by Ian Maddock and Tom Schwanda | Friday, June 27, 2025

Whitefield embodied and exemplified many of the features that have come to characterize evangelicalism for the past 300 years…bypassing ecclesial structures and creating a trans-denominational evangelical community. In the process, he helped cultivate evangelicalism’s signature fondness for parachurch ministries.   1. Whitefield consistently proclaimed the necessity of the new birth. When George Whitefield entered Pembroke... Continue Reading

Fathering Lost Children

Elon Musk wants to save civilization, but his family practices promote barbarism.

Written by Anne Kennedy | Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Children are a heritage from the Lord…they do best when they are the provenance of an excellent wife together with a husband…lays down his life for the ones he loves. Musk’s strong instinct to save civilization is good, but a world full of lost children, looking for their father, carrying in themselves the grief and... Continue Reading

A Palestinian Christian’s Plea to the Reformed Church

Written by Jack Nasser | Monday, June 23, 2025

I am a Semitic Palestinian Christian. I was born under difficult Israeli occupation, baptized in a church that stood centuries before the Reformation, and raised in the land where Christ walked. My worship is in Arabic. My theology is anchored in the early Church. And my grief is profound.   What happens when the land... Continue Reading

Henry A. Boardman, August Pastor and Churchman

An Answer to the Critics of Jesus Calling

Since Sarah passed away in 2023, it falls to us, her family, to bring clarity to another wave of misinformed criticism that has now infiltrated the PCA that Sarah loved and served for decades.

Written by Stephen Young and Stephanie van der Westhuizen | Monday, June 16, 2025

God has used Sarah’s simple testimony to save and encourage thousands of suffering people, which should be a cause for celebration. Instead, the PCA will choose to distance itself from Jesus Calling through the reports of the upcoming General Assembly. While this is hard for her family, we rest in the knowledge that God is...

Morton H. Smith, Concerned Presbyterian Churchman

His vision for training pastors focused on using curriculum centered around the infallible Word and its interpretation governed by full adherence to the summary of essential doctrine found in the Westminster Standards.

Written by Barry Waugh | Friday, June 13, 2025

Morton Smith was the first faculty member at the newly founded Reformed Theological Institute and in later years he would become the chairman of the department of systematic theology. However, just as biblical-confessional theological education required a new seminary, concerned Presbyterians would come to realize the need for a new denomination.   The above photograph...
