John Witherspoon: Lecture, Life, and Works
William S. Plumer’s summary of Witherspoon’s life and works.
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.
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.
“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.
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,...

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.
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
Reading Romans 7 with John Newton
Incapable and helpless in ourselves, we learn more and more to distrust ourselves and to rely on Christ, who provides all we need.
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

RPCNA Denomination Excludes Pastor For Racist Statements

The Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America’s Presbytery of the Alleghenies on Saturday excommunicated Rev. Samuel Ketcham for his advocacy of kinism, the belief that insurmountable differences between... Continue Reading
Why Almighty God Listens to Us
The Lord will use ordinary people to do (or pray) extraordinary things.
The great prophet was merely human, and could be frail, fragile, and fail — yet he was also a righteous man whose fervent prayer was answered by the Lord. Elijah’s heart was in tune with God’s, and he was much used of the Lord. ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show... Continue Reading
When Christian Leaders Fall
We all are required to become Christlike. We are all commanded to die to self and to crucify the flesh.
What Yancey did certainly WAS sinful and evil. It is one thing to sin this way for 8 weeks or 8 months, but 8 years really is alarming. It does show how believers can so easily deceive themselves and think they can get away with murder. All Christians are sinners, and all can fall... Continue Reading
