My Rejoinder to Kevin DeYoung

Kevin worked hard to be even-handed, but he was so even-handed that he diluted the force of his subsequent critique.

Written by Douglas Wilson | Monday, December 18, 2023

You don’t get to launch a critique like this one, designed to make a lot of good-hearted people think twice about their attraction to the Moscow Mood, and then with a flourish refuse to take questions, or to be too busy for replies. You can’t launch an attack and then call for a cease fire.... Continue Reading

The Rapture

Regardless of what we believe about the timing of the rapture, we need to have a balanced attitude toward the second coming of Christ.

Written by Grover Gunn | Monday, December 18, 2023

In Revelation chapter seven, the saints are sealed with the seal of the living God. In Revelation chapter nine, the locusts from the abyss with the power of scorpions are commanded to harm only those people who do not have the seal of God on their forehead. Dr. Jeremiah says that God has to remove... Continue Reading

Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Our Constantinian Moment

Ali, accordingly, had her own Milvian Bridge moment: Christianity alone, she concluded, had the resources to repair and renew our crumbling civilization, fortifying it against the spiritual vacuum within and the angry hordes without.

Written by Brad Littlejohn | Thursday, December 14, 2023

As the days darken and we find ourselves increasingly besieged by barbarism both within and without, we are likely to find the lifeboat of the church inundated with more refugees like Ayaan Hirsi Ali—cultural converts who realize that the worldly goods they valued cannot sustain themselves without the aid of Christianity. This may prove either... Continue Reading

Michael D. Kalopothakes, Tenacious Missionary to Greece

Reverand Kalopothakes modeled his plan for reforming the church after the method of Martin Luther, the power of print.

Written by Barry Waugh | Wednesday, December 13, 2023

Even though it might be thought that the influence of one’s ethnicity, national allegiance, or locally accepted views regarding the church and its theology are issues only in foreign lands, Rev. Kalopothakes’s observations about Greece in his day should give American readers pause to reflect upon their own thinking and how it may be negatively... Continue Reading

Come Ye Sinners, Part One

The tune and truth of Hart’s hymn.

Written by Sean Morris | Tuesday, December 12, 2023

Joseph Hart spares no one’s feelings when he surveys the mass of humanity, men and women and boys and girls, and analyzes people in their natural condition apart from Christ. And it is not just that men are merely defective or slightly ill-adapted, or that they just need a little bit of tweaking. No, Hart... Continue Reading

No Apologies: Why Civilization Depends on the Strength of Men (Book Review)

Readers seeking a biblical groundwork for a robust vision of manhood need to look elsewhere.

Written by Greg Morse | Tuesday, December 12, 2023

Esolen highlights man’s undaunted agency — a spirit that seeks difficult action — an agency that acts to serve others at cost to self: “what a man wants and what a man must do are seldom the same” (16). Heavy is the crown for which feminism gropes. Much of man’s thankless labor “demands a constant... Continue Reading

Robust Biblical Theology Runs Along Diagonal Lines

Review: ‘Biblical critical theory’ by Christopher Watkin.

Written by Carl Trueman | Tuesday, December 12, 2023

How does one reconcile the one and the many, being and becoming, freedom and determinism, autonomy and dependence? These questions have preoccupied philosophers since the era of the pre-Socratics. Watkin’s approach is to begin with God, in whom things dwell in perfect harmony—even though we sometimes place them in opposition to each other (his love... Continue Reading

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...
