The Sovereignty of God in the Salvation of My Father’s Slayer
The silence was terrifying. Then I said: ‘Mr. W., will you come to Jesus?’ He replied: ‘I will!’
“So, two wicked hell-deserving sinners – Rev. Prof. Dr. Nigel Lee and his father’s slayer Mr. W. – then went down on their knees in that jail together. I put my arm around his shoulder, and prayed first. I thanked God for our meeting; (re)confessed all my own fresh sins to the Lord; and then... Continue Reading
Old Princeton: Benjamin B. Warfield the Princeton Poet
Who is the author of these poems calling upon America to become a pugilist among the nations? His name is Benjamin B. Warfield.

Darrin Patrick Removed from Acts 29 Megachurch for ‘Historical Pattern of Sin’
Investigation by The Journey found ‘pastoral misconduct’ in several areas of his life.
Regarding his misconduct, The Journey elders wrote: We have experienced and confronted these issues regularly and intentionally over the past few years.

Though we all stumble in... Continue Reading

Why Courtship is Fundamentally Flawed
I grew into as big an opponent of dating as you could find. Dating was evil and Courtship, whatever it was, was godly, good and Biblical.
But the Bible is surprisingly quiet when it comes to laying out a system of courtship. Courtship Systems are cultural, and the Bible rarely advocates one cultural approach over another. God’s heart is that every tribe and tongue come worship him without having to surrender their food, language or other cultural distinctives in the process.... Continue Reading

Now it is true that having such firm processes in place can be the cause of much... Continue Reading
On The Masters Opening Day, Jordan Spieth Shares The Inspiring Story Of His Hope In Jesus
The second-youngest man to ever win the Masters shared that he desperately needs Christ
“To say that Jordan Spieth’s career is something quite remarkable, would be the understatement of the century. His winnings last year alone totaled $23 million – not bad for a 22-year-old.
