Hilda – The Abbess of Whitby

Teacher and Influencer

Written by Simonetta Carr | Saturday, April 15, 2023

Bede tells us “her prudence was so great that not only indifferent persons but even kings and princes asked and received her advice.” In fact, “all who knew her called her Mother.” And her influence spread much beyond Whitby. “For her singular piety and grace,” Bede continues, “was not only an example of good life...

Lived to Be Forgotten: Dixon E. Hoste, Missionary to China

The successor of Hudson Taylor as leader of the China Inland Mission never sought fame but was remembered for his earnest prayers.

Written by Patrick Fung | Monday, April 10, 2023

One of the most important and striking characteristics of Hoste was his prayer life—and related to that, his true humility before God and in his ministry. Hoste never sought fame or power. Instead, he was determined that his name and reputation would be subsumed under the desire to see Jesus get all the honor for... Continue Reading

A Time to Keep Silence: A Dissenting Perspective on the Nashville Massacre

Let us recognize that this is for many of us “a time to keep silence” (Eccl. 3:7) and act accordingly.

Written by Tom Hervey | Wednesday, April 5, 2023

This massacre was perpetrated by one person in one place and toward one group of people. Even granting that we share a faith and formal ecclesiastical ties, there is a case for many of us keeping silent and not presuming to advise or to otherwise discuss the matter. In a matter so awful even consolation... Continue Reading

Fear of Rejection in the Bible

It might be encouraging to know that fear of rejection has been a problem for a number of illustrious people throughout history.

Written by Edward T. Welch | Monday, April 3, 2023

Even his opponents could see this: “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances” (Matt. 22:16). Of course, their remarks were a form of flattery by which they hoped to trap Jesus, but they... Continue Reading

The Christian Soldier

On December 14, 1862, Dabney preached a sermon titled The Christian Soldier. This brief article will analyze the concept of a "Christian Soldier."

Written by David T. Crum | Monday, April 3, 2023

Outside of courage, Dabney felt the Christian maintained an eternal peace that assisted him on the battlefield and even upon facing death. Any student studying Jackson knew this was clear in the general’s life. If you surrendered your worries to God’s Sovereign will, could this promote a better soldier? Dabney remained adamant that this was... Continue Reading

Light to Dispel Darkness: The Gospel’s Hope Arising From A Senseless Act

Pastor Scruggs said of his beloved daughter Hallie: “Through tears we trust that she is in the arms of Jesus who will raise her to life once again.”

Written by George Grant | Friday, March 31, 2023

Grief gripped the entire Nashville community. In shock, as pundits and politicians attempted to make sense of the senseless, across our presbytery men and women gathered in their homes, schools, and churches to pray. We did not need to ask, “Why did this have to happen? Why did this have to happen to us?” We... Continue Reading

Singing in the Face of Suffering

In the midst of grief, God's people have historically cried out to Him in song.

Written by Ryan Biese | Friday, March 31, 2023

Although the best comfort comes from God’s word, Christians have for centuries reflected on the hardships of life in light of the truth of God’s word in those seasons and written beautiful poetry shaped by the ideas and principles of the Scripture to find perspective and hope in God. God’s people have never been strangers... Continue Reading

On Theologian Thunberg

Greta Thunberg is now a top theologian?

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Thursday, March 30, 2023

She is up to her gills in religion. And her religion is of course radical environmentalism. She worships at that altar, and wants all of us to do the same. For many people today who have thrown out the one true God, the vacuum is replaced by various substitutes. Hardcore green religion is one of them.... Continue Reading
