The Value of Sailing with a Godly Man

Who are you sailing with today? It could make all the difference.

Written by Bill Elliff | Tuesday, March 3, 2026

[Paul] was the only one on board who had counsel from God Himself, the One who holds the storm in His hands. Notice what the men around Paul received, just by being with him. Wise counsel…gracious protection…courageous faith.    My mother used to quote the old saying: “You are a product of the books you... Continue Reading

Who Really Suffers? Did Christ or His Body Suffer at the Cross?

On Theodoret of Cyrus’s presumed Nestorianism and Cyril’s response.

Written by Wyatt Graham | Tuesday, March 3, 2026

Did Christ, the eternal Word from the Father, suffer for our sake or not? If it was only his flesh that suffered, then can we say that Christ tasted death for everyone? Or must we say, his flesh alone did? Cyril believes the Nestorian logic of the passion requires the latter belief; and he may... Continue Reading

Tim Keller On the Importance of Reading Church History

It is tempting to attribute to talent what we should instead credit to work ethic.

Written by Matthew Capone | Monday, March 2, 2026

Certainly, Keller possessed outsized gifts, but he also put his time to good use. A friend of mine who knew Keller personally says that many desire Keller’s impact and influence without his piety and study. His piety was more than his reading of great works and Scripture, but it was not less than that.  ... Continue Reading

Ben Sasse and the Political Illusion

Ordering life from the perspective of death.

Written by Timothy D. Padgett | Monday, March 2, 2026

Politics matters, and those called to work in that world serve God and their neighbors in doing so. But it’s not the only thing in life, or even the most important thing. Far from it. We can all thank God that, with the bird’s-eye view offered by the prospect of death, Ben Sasse has blessed... Continue Reading

Grieve Honestly

The Scripture provides plenty of examples of grief on display.

Written by Pam Lopes | Monday, March 2, 2026

Lament is the God-given language that bridges suffering and praise. It allows believers to process pain honestly while moving toward trust. Far from opposing joy, lament creates a pathway to it. A third of the Psalms are laments, using this “minor-key” language to wrestle with grief and reaffirm confidence in God’s grace. Lament is a... Continue Reading

John Witherspoon: Lecture, Life, and Works

William S. Plumer’s summary of Witherspoon’s life and works.

Written by Barry Waugh | Friday, February 27, 2026

A century ago, Dr. Witherspoon and our fathers were on the busy stage of life. They are gone now. Where shall we be a hundred years hence? Certainly, we shall all be in eternity, but will it be a blessed eternity? Will the world be the better for our having lived in it?   It... Continue Reading

On Dying Well: Ben Sasse and the Vocation of Suffering

Ben Sasse’s recent announcement reveals to us both goods and virtues that show in his dying a glimmer of light, a stirring of hope, and the possibility of spring even in one’s final winter.

Written by Christopher O. Tollefsen | Tuesday, February 24, 2026

The hope of the Christian in suffering and dying has to be a hope that bears the suffering one has been given, and never abandons the reliance on God’s promised fidelity. That is surely one of the hardest of the hard Christian truths: that suffering well requires one not simply seek to eradicate it, but... Continue Reading

Thank Heavens for Marco Rubio

The speech that rocked the West.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Monday, February 23, 2026

“I am here today to leave it clear that America is charting the path for a new century of prosperity, and that once again we want to do it together with you, our cherished allies and our oldest friends. We want to do it together with you, with a Europe that is proud of its... Continue Reading

On the Trail of the Covenanters

Joshua Kellard relates why the witness of the Scottish Covenanters is worthy of the earnest attention of evangelical Christians today. The first two episodes of The Covenanter Story are now available.

Written by Joshua Kellard | Wednesday, February 18, 2026

In producing these videos, our goal has not been primarily polemical. We are not seeking to defend the Covenanters in any systematic or thorough way from the claims of historians unfriendly to their aims and sceptical of their character or methods. … Rather, our goal has been to introduce the outline of the Covenanter story,... Continue Reading

The Darkness Can Be Overcome: Reflections on the Exertions of William Wilberforce

The situation was as complicated — and apparently hopeless — as any into which we might wade today. Yet the bill for abolition passed on 25 March 1807.

Written by Christopher Collins | Tuesday, February 17, 2026

Ah, brothers and sisters, we have no shortage of battles before us in 2026. Society grows ever more twisted without Christ, the church suffers assault from a tide of liberalism and godless philosophy, and the daily glories of family and work continue to present challenges of their own. But how criminal it would be to... Continue Reading
