The Remarkable Story of Delhi’s First Indian Christian
How a self-taught mathematician became Delhi's first Indian Christian and played a vital role in the growth of the church in our nation's capital.
Over the years, Ramchandra led dozens of others to Christ, including future church leader Tara Chand. It is said that even the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar summoned Ramchandra to dissuade him from becoming a Christian. However, this only led to one of the Emperor’s servants coming to faith in Christ. Ramchandra eventually became the... Continue Reading
After the Dark Night of A Lost Ministry, Bring Light to Others
My life and ministry, which had been for the most part vibrant, blew up in a matter of three weeks.
During this time, as far as my presbytery was concerned, I was not seen as a brother in crisis; I was just a problem. I suspect in many other presbyteries ministers are going through rough times. These brothers are experiencing a crisis in their lives. Please do not look at them as a problem, but... Continue Reading
Who Was Herman Bavinck?
He was a theologian or dogmatician—one who thinks and writes about God and all things in His light according to God’s own revelation in the Bible.
The most important label—one that cries out for acknowledgment from the thousands of pages of his mighty corpus—is follower of Jesus. Bavinck loved the God who saved him by grace, and amid the complexity and brilliance of his thought, there is always a doxological current. As Bavinck put it: A theologian is a person who...

The Life and Faith of Blaise Pascal
Wagering on God without hesitation.
The fallout of the French Revolution would prove that Pascal’s arguments about God…and his observations about the human condition, were right….Even today, Pascal’s writing has lost none of its fire, nor has the fruits of his intellect, passion, and eloquence dedicated to God diminished. On August 19, 1662, French philosopher, mathematician, and apologist Blaise Pascal died at... Continue Reading
Lloyd-Jones, Depression, and Feelings
Useful insights from “the Doctor” on a common Christian condition.
“If you and I find ourselves afflicted by this condition, there is only one thing to do, it is to go to Him….He is our joy and our happiness, even as He is our peace. He is life, He is everything. So avoid the incitements and the temptations of Satan to give feelings this great... Continue Reading
Evangelicals for Harris, Evangelicals for Satan
The word “evangelic” means “good news.” But if Kamala Harris wins the election, it will be bad news for America.
So we evangelicals cannot criticise the Evangelicals for Harris campaign while overlooking Trump’s evil. Voting for the lesser evil in Trump can be a righteous act, but it’s unrighteous to ignore the evil, even if it’s lesser than Kamala Harris’ greater evil. Donald Trump’s position on abortion is deplorable and Kamala Harris’ position is demonic. Despite... Continue Reading
What a Heated Disagreement between Two Puritans Can Teach Us Today
It takes the effort to understand and to empathize—in an age of polarization when empathy seems to be in short supply.
The story of Owen and Baxter offers us several valuable lessons. Here’s one: at the outset of any conflict, we should try to stand back from the confronting issues and try to understand what other factors might be at work in our own hearts and in the hearts of those around us. Paul admonishes us:... Continue Reading
Review: Zwingli the Pastor
There is much to glean from Zwingli, and Eccher has provided the church and academy with an accessible and engaging volume to do just that.
Eccher offers the reader five theses that he hopes “will guide you in your own remembrances of a vilified and lauded Reformer” (p. 201). To be sure, when one reads of a figure like Zwingli, there are times of both inspiration and horror. In a day when diligent study can sometimes be taken less seriously,... Continue Reading
The Biggest PCA News You Never Heard
Keller protege Scott Sauls went egalitarian & hardly anyone knows.
Between November and March, Sauls’ views changed in a way that made him incompatible with the PCA: He became (or revealed himself to be) an ecclesial egalitarian, meaning he believes that all of the roles and offices in the church are open to men and women. When the face of a denomination changes his views... Continue Reading
