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

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

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

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,...

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

The wise pastor Newton doesn’t tell the distressed believer that God has made her able and strong to resist sin’s power. He tells her that if she relies on Jesus, his strength and his grace will be sufficient. God doesn’t put us in possession of a new spiritual power. He puts us in the loving possession of Jesus (Rom. 7:4),... Continue Reading
