Persecution: Bring It On

We shouldn’t be surprised when we are laughed at, insulted, mocked, or rejected because of Christ

Written by Aaron Vriesman | Friday, May 23, 2014

Since persecution is a blessing and God’s power is behind us, then bring it on! As Christians, belonging to Jesus Christ means more to us than anything in this world. We would give our backs to the whip, our houses to the flames, our faces to fists, our dignity to mockery, our bodies to torture,... Continue Reading

Karl Barth’s Failure

Karl Barth failed to liberate theology from modernity’s captivity

Written by Matthew Rose | Tuesday, May 20, 2014

“Barth wrote from a commanding position. He not only had lived through the rise and fall of European liberal theology but had directly influenced its changing fortunes. The defining events of Barth’s career occurred as a result of the First World War. After witnessing Christian support for German militarism and struggling as a pastor in... Continue Reading

Commonplaces: Evelyn Waugh the Young Atheist

You must read his story in his own words. Below is an extended excerpt from the NBC News report: A father who was shot point-blank in the face by Boko Haram recounted how the militants asked whether he was “prepared to die as a Christian” and then left for dead.

An Interview with Pastor G. I. Williamson

Pastor Williamson is the author of popular study guides: Westminster Confession of Faith, Shorter Catechism and the Heidelberg Catechism.

Written by Shawn Mathis | Monday, May 19, 2014

I believe J.G. Vos was right when he said (in his Commentary on the Westminster Larger Catechism) “It is entirely true that WWII was, in the deepest sense, the result of widespread acceptance of the doctrine of human evolution as the truth, accompanied by a gradual but very real rejection of the Bible, by highly...

The Christian Is an Enigma

Man is an enigma whose only solution can be found in God

Written by Ian Hamilton | Sunday, May 18, 2014

This undeniable fact must mark and even permeate the preaching of Christ’s ambassadors. The Christian life is a life of “joy unspeakable and full of glory,” but it is also, at the same time, a life of struggle and inconsistency. There are no shortcuts to escape this tension, except the shortcut of death or the... Continue Reading

It's been one year since Kermit Gosnell, an abortionist from Pennsylvania, was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder.

Written by Joe Carter, TGC | Wednesday, May 14, 2014

On January 31, 1998, a then 15 year old Robyn Reid sought an abortion from Gosnell’s clinic.
