The PCA’s South Florida Presbytery Deposes Tullian Tchividjian from Ministry

The South Florida Presbytery voted to depose Tullian Tchividjian at its August 11, 2015 meeting.

Written by Staff | Monday, August 17, 2015

“While Pastor Tullian Tchividjian was deposed of his pastoral credentials, the South Florida Presbytery is committed to continuing to offer him pastoral care. Our goal in doing this is to both protect the integrity of the Church from which his credentials were given while, at the same time, wrapping Tullian in the grace offered by... Continue Reading

Federal Officials Warn States Not to Defund Planned Parenthood

StemExpressLLC cuts ties with Planned Parenthood, loses in court, denies any wrongdoing.

Written by Staff, Christianity Today | Monday, August 17, 2015

Officials in New Hampshire, Alabama, and Louisiana have announced plans to defund Planned Parenthood in the wake of a series of undercover videos from a pro-life group. But cutting that funding may violate federal law, reports The Wall Street Journal, since Medicaid beneficiaries can received services from “any qualified provider.” That includes Planned Parenthood, according...

On Leaving Church

Many Christians who have stopped going to church; they have not given up on God nor renounced their faith. The are the Dones.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Sunday, August 16, 2015

“Oh for radically Bible-saturated, God-centered, Christ-exalting, self-sacrificing, mission-mobilizing, soul-saving, culture-confronting pastors!” John Piper “When the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. It is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first.” Martyn Lloyd-Jones   There are many Christians who have... Continue Reading

Bishop Jakes, Could You Clarify Your Stance on Homosexuality?

At best, your comments left your hearers in the dark; at worst, they gave the impression that you now support same-sex “marriage.”

Written by Michael Brown | Sunday, August 16, 2015

I agree with you that all of us need room to grow in our faith and understanding, but are there no hills to die on, no absolute certainties of the faith, no moral boundaries that cannot be crossed? You characterized your position on homosexuality as “Evolved and evolving,” adding, “I think that where I am... Continue Reading

Why I Don’t Believe in Christian Accountability

Change the word from “accountability” to “advocacy;” it can be described as active support, intercession, or pleading and arguing in favor of someone.

Written by Mike Foster | Thursday, August 13, 2015

Advocacy focuses on the “yes,” not the “no.” Too often, typical Christian accountability revolves around long lists of what NOT to do. We spend way too much time discussing and managing the sin. Often, we lock onto the most minor unhealthy behaviors and think that’s going to prepare us for success in life. Unfortunately, we... Continue Reading

Douglas Kelly to Retire From RTS in May 2016

Dr. Douglas Kelly will retire from his position as the Richard Jordan Professor of Theology, effective May 31, 2016.

Written by Staff | Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Dr. Michael Kruger, president of the Charlotte campus, said, “It is difficult to find words to express what Doug Kelly has meant to Reformed Theological Seminary. He is one of our most beloved professors, one of our brightest minds, and of one our finest preachers. While he will be dearly missed, we are grateful that... Continue Reading

When the ‘P’ Word is Apparently Not ‘Presbyterianism

When it comes to ministerial falls, sadly the tradition today is to go straight to farce.

Written by Carl Trueman | Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Thus it is with Tullian Tchividjian’s fall and rise.  All of the celebrity conventions are there: The use of a well-known counselor brought in specially, the faux intimacy of the twitter feed, and now a slick podcast on coming back after a fall– less than two months since his confession that he betrayed his wife...

How Martyn Lloyd-Jones Helped Start the PCA

In his 1969 lectures at the Pensacola Theological Institute of McIlwain Memorial Presbyterian Church, Martyn Lloyd-Jones set out to answer the question “What is the Church?”

Written by Nicholas T. Batzig | Sunday, August 9, 2015

As they walked on the beach, several of the founders of the PCA told the Doctor that they knew that they needed to leave the Old Mainline denomination and to start a new one, but that they feared that they would not have the resources to be able to do so. As the story goes,... Continue Reading

Parenting Our Children’s Prejudice

At two years old, had our daughter already learned to show partiality? By both nature and nurture, it seems she knew how to judge by outward appearance.

Written by Zach Owens | Sunday, August 9, 2015

What does this truth mean for her response to people whom the world, and even the church, shows partiality? Her only hope to live impartially before God and man is to be reconciled vertically before her Father through Jesus and horizontally to her brothers and sisters through Jesus. It means that my wife and I... Continue Reading

What Not to Say to Single Women in the Church

Please don’t tell me I just need to stop “thinking” about getting married.

Written by Lisa Anderson | Sunday, August 9, 2015

“Are You Sure You’re Putting Yourself out There?” Gaaah. We single women have plenty on our to-do lists (see point number two) without worrying about managing our own dating public relations campaign. As I say in my new book, The Dating Manifesto, unless we’re complete recluses or impossibly socially awkward, we’re in the same circles as everyone... Continue Reading
