Christianity and Civilisation: Science

Science as we know it today would not be the same without its Christian roots.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Monday, January 15, 2024

“Some religions, like Judaism have made many contributions to the civilised world. Others have been much less involved in Western progress. As [historian Rodney] Stark and others have demonstrated, only those religions that have had a place for reason and logic have had a real impact on science, progress and technology. The Judeo-Christian worldview certainly... Continue Reading

B. B. Warfield, 1851–1921

Warfield’s intellectual capacity, diversity of interests, and penetrating analysis could be placed at the apex of the scholarly pyramid of his contemporaries.

Written by Barry Waugh | Monday, January 8, 2024

When Dr. Warfield left teaching at Western seminary it was to return to Princeton Theological Seminary as a professor beginning in the fall semester of 1887. He succeeded Archibald Alexander Hodge as the Charles Hodge Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology. His inaugural address titled, “The Idea of Systematic Theology Considered as a Science,” was...

Storms or Doldrums: Which Is More Dangerous?

“The ‘doldrums,’ a nautical term, refers to the belt around the Earth near the equator where sailing ships get stuck on windless waters.”

Written by Helen Louise Herndon | Thursday, January 4, 2024

Spiritual “doldrums” can be a place in time or a mental state.  If it’s where we are, an important attitude and action is required to survive and see it through. That attitude and action is summed up in perseverance. Perseverance enables us to focus on our destination.  Perseverance plays a vital role in discipline that... Continue Reading

5 Days Per Week Bible Reading Program for 2024

Have you given up trying to read the whole Bible in a year? Why not try a plan that schedules only 5 days a week, so you have built-in catch-up days?

Written by O. Palmer Robertson | Tuesday, January 2, 2024

Many people find that first thing in the morning is their best time for reading God’s Word.  But that doesn’t work for everyone, or for every season of life.  The more important thing is not when you read but that you read.  Use lunchtime, break time or bedtime depending on what works best for you. ...

The Tyranny of Seeing Only Power

Unquestionably, the economic world that Ahmari chronicles in Tyranny, Inc. is a world characterized by deep alienation at every level of hierarchy.

Written by Brad Littlejohn | Tuesday, January 2, 2024

The book makes little pretense of being even-handed, offering instead a series of exposés of the various tricks of the trade that managers use to exploit workers and oppress consumers. There simply are no “good bosses” that populate this narrative. Nor, strikingly, are there any bad workers. It may well be true, as Ahmari charges,... Continue Reading

My Grandfather Died with Dignity

Grandpa Tom’s dignity amidst his dependence on others was a loud rebuke to the arrogant pride that says, “I matter because I can take care of myself.”

Written by K. C. Ellis | Monday, January 1, 2024

In Q&A at a 2021 training session by the Canada Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, a physician asked Dr. Kevin Reel—the president of the Canadian Bioethics Society—what a doctor should do if a patient sought MAiD “because of socioeconomic reasons.” Dr. Reel replied that of course the physician didn’t have to administer MAiD, but...

Naomi Wolf Wants Us to ‘Face the Beast’

It is time we wake from our slumber.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Monday, January 1, 2024

“We were not in a normal time of normal bad human politics and normal bad destructive material choices. I realized gradually that the degradation taking place on the material plane simply reflected or manifested a much larger battle—indeed a spiritual battle; one between Good and Evil themselves, and that God—whom till now I hesitated to...

Contributions Sought for the ‘Mark and Priscilla Lowrey Relief Fund’

An opportunity to aid and assist Priscilla Lowrey with Mark’s medical and end-of-life expenses by contributing to a fund set up through the PCA Foundation.

Written by Staff | Wednesday, December 27, 2023

You may or may not be aware that Mark suffered medical difficulties for over a year now. He encountered great difficulty, suffering the neurological loss of his limbs and bearing up under physical pain. Despite being treated by some of the best doctors, this was all compounded by tremendous difficulty in diagnosing the problem. Recently,... Continue Reading

Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) Founder Mark Lowrey Called Home to Glory

Mark Lowrey (1945-2023), founder of Reformed University Fellowship and former head of Great Commission Publications, has been called home to glory.

Written by Benjamin Morris | Tuesday, December 26, 2023

In the earliest days of the PCA, college ministry was not uniformly viewed as a crucial pillar of outreach for the young denomination: parachurch organizations such as InterVarsity Fellowship and Campus Crusade already occupied much of that sphere. Yet recognizing the need for sound biblical teaching on campus, Lowrey put forth a vision of ordained... Continue Reading

A Statement from Tenth Presbyterian Church Regarding Our Senior Minister

Dr. Liam Goligher resigned as Senior Minister of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia on Friday, December 1, 2023.

Written by Tenth Presbyterian Church | Friday, December 22, 2023

During this time of trouble and confusion, our only hope at Tenth Church is to humble ourselves, and in repentance and faith seek the mercy of God through Jesus Christ, and to encourage others who struggle with sin in their lives to do the same. It is only by being reconciled to God through Jesus... Continue Reading
