Seven Fascinating Minister Types and Preaching

How would you describe the preaching you listen to on Sunday morning? Is it one of these seven types of preaching?

Written by Pete Hurst | Thursday, April 1, 2021

We want you to be our minister. We don’t care about your accent, where you grew up, from what seminary you graduated, whether you like football or ride a motorcycle. We are anxious to hear you preach God’s Word, and happy to be enlightened, encouraged, challenged and convicted. We want to be brought into the... Continue Reading

R.C. Sproul: A Life

Nichols paints a portrait of a man who was transformed by the Bible and gripped by God’s character.

Written by Tim Challies | Monday, March 29, 2021

Nichols shows Sproul to be a man who adored his wife, loved his family, and honored his friends. He shows him to be a man God raised up to be a gentle warrior, a man with a warm heart and resolute spirit, a man who would love a sinner but not suffer a fool. In other words, he shows him to...

Written by Adelle Banks | Thursday, March 25, 2021

A Year Later: Lessons Learned in a Pandemic

I would never choose to relive the past twelve months. But the Lord has graciously brought opportunities for growth in all of them.

Written by Matthew Hall | Thursday, March 18, 2021

The past year has brought more than its share of hardship and trial. I don’t think any of us would choose to relive it if given the option. But seeing through the eyes of faith means we are able to look at it all and trust that the Lord has indeed been at work in... Continue Reading

Gudina Tumsa – Martyr and Thinker

“Let not anyone deceive himself in taking Christianity as one of the social systems or ideologies,” - Gudina Tumsa

Written by Simonetta Carr | Tuesday, March 16, 2021

Gudina encouraged EECMY to keep a balance between theological instruction and care for people’s dignity and physical wellbeing – a balance he believed the western church had lost, but had been kept alive at the mission where he had been educated. There, he had found medical care, a way out of illiteracy, and a loving... Continue Reading

How Thomas Cranmer Helped Shape Particular Baptist Piety

One key fruit of Cranmer's Bible-reading, Bible-loving Reformed church was Puritanism, and from thence, the Calvinistic Baptist movement.

Written by Michael A. G. Haykin | Sunday, March 14, 2021

Cranmer’s stress in this Collect is a major aspect of his thinking about Holy Scripture, namely its utterly vital importance as a touchstone of truth and wisdom as well as its unique usefulness as a means of grace. Here those who came to worship in the Reformed Church of England were being invited to learn... Continue Reading

I’m a Philosopher. We Can’t Think Our Way Out of this Mess.

I’m throwing in my lot with the poets and painters, the novelists and songwriters.

Written by James K. A. Smith | Tuesday, March 9, 2021

It’s not that I’ve given up on truth. It’s just that I’m less confident we’ll think our way out of the morass and malaise in which we find ourselves. Analysis won’t save us. And the truth of the gospel is less a message to be taught than a mystery enacted. Love won’t save us either,... Continue Reading

‘Do Not Hold Me Back From The Glory’

He desired to walk each day in intimate fellowship with Christ and longed to be in his presence.

Written by James Williams | Monday, March 8, 2021

With each passing day, death and glory grew nearer for Lloyd-Jones. Knowing his time was short, Lloyd-Jones became concerned about leaving his family behind, but was later comforted: “I know God can care for them very much better than I can and that no longer troubles me at all.” His last days were marked by...
