Bill Gothard on Visualization as “One of the Most Basic Aspects of Faith”

The main point this story, as with every story in the Gospels, is to highlight for us who Jesus is!

Written by Don and Joy Veinot | Tuesday, December 12, 2023

How would you know where Jesus is? Answer: by remembering who He is! This is also the only record we have in Scripture of Jesus ever being scolded by His human parents. But, if we believe in the doctrine of the sinlessness of Christ at age twelve, then it was a scolding He did not deserve. But... Continue Reading

William H. Fentress, an Extraordinary Man

William H. Fentress showed indomitable perseverance as he made his way through the educational requirements for becoming a minister.

Written by Barry Waugh | Monday, December 11, 2023

When William graduated Princeton in 1876, he had already been licensed by the Presbytery of Baltimore, April 11. It is to be noticed here that he completed studies on schedule in three years. According to his obituary by David J. Beale in The Baltimore Presbyterian, Fentress was “licensed to preach, after a full and complete... Continue Reading

Wilson’s Warrior Children

Our influence in the culture should be as Jesus defined it, as salt and light.

Written by Chris Gordon | Monday, December 11, 2023

As Christendom has collapsed in the West, Wilson has offered a vision that plays on the fears and emotions of those who are panicking. This is precisely why the mission of the church, all of the sudden, takes a drastic turn in its elevating of cultural transformation while “saving people from their sins” becomes only...

Polycarp, The Lord has Done Me No Wrong

It was not Polycarp’s teaching regarding church offices, the importance of Philippians for history of the New Testament canon, nor the Quartodeciman controversy that keeps him in historical remembrance, it is his death.

Written by Barry Waugh | Sunday, December 10, 2023

Polycarp came from a covenant household and was a Christian all his 86 years—God had never done him wrong. It is a remarkable affirmation because when challenging times come, the tendency is to blame God for the troubles. In times of struggle thoughts like, “Everything was going so well, but you let me down God,” or, “It... Continue Reading

The Legacy of John Witherspoon

The groundwork of a lesser-known founder who shaped the early years of the Republic.

Written by John Stonestreet and Glenn Sunshine | Thursday, December 7, 2023

Witherspoon’s most important impact came from the students who took his moral philosophy classes at the College of New Jersey. Witherspoon taught James Madison the necessity of checks and balances in government. Among his other students were Aaron Burr, 37 judges, including several members of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and three justices of the Supreme... Continue Reading

A Prophet of School Choice

If the government should not oversee education, who then should oversee a child’s education? For Machen, the answer was unequivocally the child’s parents.

Written by Matthew H. Lee | Thursday, December 7, 2023

For Machen, the great benefit of these school choice reforms was that they would empower parents to oversee their children’s education. As he stated to the Sentinels, the hope is that “we may return to the principle of freedom for individual parents in the education of their children in accordance with their conscience.” School choice...

Johannes Kepler, Thinking God’s Thoughts After Him

Scientist who brought us revolutionary discovery on functions of the universe, deferred to God to lead him in all his works.

Written by John Stonestreet and Glenn Sunshine | Wednesday, December 6, 2023

Kepler knew his theories would be rejected by scientists, but he didn’t care. It had taken eons before anyone discovered how God had structured the universe, so Kepler figured he could wait another century or so to be proven right.   November marks the death of Johannes Kepler, one of the most important figures of...

I Love My Transgender Child. I Love Jesus More.

Our children don’t always know what they want or what’s best for them. And we don’t either, which is why we have to trust Jesus and his Word.

Written by Anonymous | Tuesday, December 5, 2023

Last year, my son suffered severe depression and suicidal ideation, admitting himself to the ER during Christmas break. It was the bleakest Christmas my family had ever experienced, and those weeks led to months of wondering if I would find my child dead in his room. Our questions persisted: Why can’t we just hold him... Continue Reading

Augustine and Antisemitism

Would that contemporary Christians follow Augustine’s lead and resist the antisemitic demons that tempt us today.

Written by James R. Wood | Monday, December 4, 2023

Augustine never promoted a Jewish state, but rather expounded the theological significance of Jewish scattering. However, one wonders if he might support such a state as a way to protect Jewish lives and practice in light of the antisemitic hostility that we have seen simmer over the centuries, erupt in Western nations in the nineteenth...

Why Ayaan Hirsi Ali Became a Christian

I write this merely to echo the emphases of the Apostle Paul, whose understanding of this world was rooted in his understanding of, and preoccupation with, the glories of the next.

Written by Carl R. Trueman | Monday, December 4, 2023

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is concerned with how the West is dismantling its traditional cultural norms and with what it intends to replace them. Others have said similar things before. Philip Rieff and Sir Roger Scruton are two that come to mind. But the impression both of them leave is that, yes, they think God is... Continue Reading
