Aidan of Lindisfarne – A Seventh-Century Door-to-Door Missionary

Aidan was an Irish monk living in a monastery on the Scottish island of Iona – a man, according to Bede, “of singular gentleness, piety, and moderation.”

Written by Simonetta Carr | Sunday, February 6, 2022

Aidan is however most famous for his missionary work. Aidan worked many miles every day, going from house to house and talking “to any whomsoever he saw, whether rich or poor, and call upon them, if infidels, to receive the mystery of the faith, or, if they were believers, strengthen them in the faith, and...

Jordan Peterson and Christianity

Peterson isn’t sure if Jesus rose from the dead. He only believes His Spirit lives on in as much as “spirit” refers to continuing influence, saying “it’s had a massive effect across time.”

Written by George Sayour | Saturday, February 5, 2022

Let us pray that God sends His Spirit to reveal the truth about His Son to Jordan Peterson.  He is no doubt a brilliant thinker and a needed voice in the public sphere where reason and logic are so often lacking. However, my hope is that Christians who are enamored with his articulate reasoning regarding... Continue Reading

Why Preaching is Central to Priesthood

Chrysostom's greatest lesson for the church today is arguably the importance he ascribes to the preached Word.

Written by Carl R. Trueman | Thursday, February 3, 2022

Preaching will only gain in practical importance as the aggressive myths of this present age are preached at us from every soap opera, commercial, and TikTok video. If the church is (humanly speaking) to survive, she needs to confront these falsehoods with the truth proclaimed in the preached Word. Chrysostom’s legacy is not just sacramental....

The Eclipse of the Gospel and the School of Hard Knox

John Knox brought reform to Scotland and re-energized a nation that had all but forgotten God.

Written by Dr. David S. Steele | Tuesday, February 1, 2022

His relentless preaching helped drive away the darkness and restore the light of the gospel to his land.   A Powerful Man I stood in the shadow of St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh,...

Should We Preach with a Wider Audience in Mind?

Aim to help the people of whom God has sovereignly placed in your care and it will likely be fitting nourishment for a wider audience.

Written by Mike Leake | Friday, January 21, 2022

Newton genuinely loved his people. And they knew that he loved them. He wouldn’t use the pulpit to clobber them, to share their secrets, or anything of the sort. But he was often among the people and heard their hearts. This would inform his preaching. When he picked a text he likely had a conversation in... Continue Reading

Mary Slessor – An Unconventional Missionary

She is mostly remembered for her rescue and care of twin babies who, in the local culture, were left to die. Her first commitment, however, was always firmly to the gospel.

Written by Simonetta Carr | Thursday, January 20, 2022

She took seriously the Foreign Mission secretary’s advice that she spend as much time as possible with the local women in order to learn their language, Efik. But she was surprised to see that none of the women had yet joined the church. “Something more must be done for the women here if we are to... Continue Reading
