Farewell, Friend and Father, John W. Batchelor

A tribute to Ruling Elder John W. Batchelor, age 97, who died on August 1 in Pennsylvania

Written by William H. Smith | Saturday, August 4, 2012

I have said little about John’s faith. Like all things personal, it was not something John talked about a lot. But his faith was real, strong, and true. He believed in God, in Christ, in salvation by grace through faith, and in the Bible, and he did not waver. When he spoke, others listened, just... Continue Reading

Gabby Douglas vs. secular journalism

What do reporters know and when do they report it?

Written by Marvin Olasky | Friday, August 3, 2012

When I did a Nexis computerized search of “Gabby Douglas” and “Christian” in publications yesterday and today, only Agence France Presse came up: “Douglas, a devout Christian.” No major publication apparently quoted her “glory to God” remarks

Richard Land of Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberity Commission to retire

Retirement effective Oct. 2013, 25 years to the date after assuming office.

Written by Tom Strode, Baptist Press | Thursday, August 2, 2012

Land said he was 41 years of age when he came to the commission, more than 10 years younger than the next youngest Southern Baptist entity leader and the first "baby boomer" to head a denominational agency. "It has been the honor, privilege, and blessing of a lifetime to serve the Lord, the wonderful people of God called Southern Baptists, and other brothers and sisters in the faith through the ERLC for virtually half of my entire ministry."

Marine Gunnery Sgt., member of URC in Escondido, CA, killed in Afghanistan

Assigned to Special Operations Battalion at Camp

Written by Marc Thompson, WOODTV8.com | Wednesday, August 1, 2012

Ruth and Karl Price said their son put God first, was unassuming and shied away from praises like being called a "hero."

When Pastors Panic

The pastor’s panic wasn’t about possibly dying, but over his circumstances

Written by Stan Gale | Tuesday, July 31, 2012

I sent this email out after the struggles of the weekend. God had allowed me to have the cardiac catheterization on Monday.  By now I knew I’d need the bypass surgery.  God had prepared me.  He had shored up my faith, against my own fear and against the attacks of the devil. On Tuesday, May... Continue Reading

Pew Poll: Romney may see an evangelical ‘enthusiasm gap’

Written by Daniel Burke, Religion News Service | Sunday, July 29, 2012

Many social conservatives warned during the GOP primary that Romney would struggle to spark evangelical enthusiasm. Fewer conservative Christians would volunteer to canvass neighborhoods, donate money or plan rallies, they said.

An Interview with R.C. Sproul (Part 2)

What do the words “well done, good and faithful servant” mean to you at this time in your life?

Written by Tim Challies | Sunday, July 29, 2012

The reason holiness and grace go together is that the more I understand who God is, the greater appreciation I have for His holiness, and I figured the more that’s going to make me hate my sin. Yesterday I shared the first part of my recent interview with Dr. R.C. Sproul. We discussed his new book,... Continue Reading

The Lies and Spin of Virginia Bishop Shannon S. Johnston

A challenge to a bishop’s take on the recent Episcopal General Convention’s adoption of a blessing ceremony for same sex unions

Written by David W. Virtue | Saturday, July 28, 2012

I supported the Convention’s resolution not because of the movement of secular culture but out of personal and theological conviction. Moreover, after over 30 years of the Church’s study and dialogues, I believe that it is time to be publically clear about the full acceptance of committed same-sex relationships in the life and witness of...
