Children Are People Too

First, we need to remember that our children are made in the image of God

Written by Rachel Miller | Friday, August 19, 2016

Our children are born with inherent worth and individual traits. We should remember that in raising them. It’s amazing to watch our children grow up and become the men and women God has planned for them to be. Each one is unique and has unique challenges and unique gifts. They may not fit our “mold,” but... Continue Reading

The Federal Vision and the Magical Efficacy of Sacraments

Federal Vision holds that every baptized person receives benefits of Christ in the act of the sacrament itself; that baptism makes a decisive change in the inner man.

Written by Dewey Roberts | Thursday, August 18, 2016

It is a fatal flaw of the proponents of the Federal Vision that they hold to a view that replaces the work of the Holy Spirit with the magical working of the sacraments, a relic of paganism. It is beside the point that they define efficacy in such a vague way,… that it can be... Continue Reading

Confessions Of A Former Charismatic

From a former charismatic now hearing from God under the ordinary preaching of Scripture.

Written by Heidelblog | Thursday, August 18, 2016

This is what I found: there were many conversations among the church leaders, or with “discerning members,” who were concerned that there was a diminishing of the prophetic on Sunday or in prayer gatherings. The absence of such words was a sign of sickness. Rather than being glad at the faithful ministry of the Word... Continue Reading

He Holds Out His Hands

Within the ancient sermons and ceremonies of the Old Covenant, the Good News of Jesus Christ had always been proclaimed.

Written by Joseph Franks | Thursday, August 18, 2016

There is Good News; God has also blessed you with his Gospel. You are hearing it right now. Despite the fact that you have spurned his counsel, rebelled against him, and have earned his eternal wrath, he has not stopped loving you. He promised his Son. He sent his Son. And now through the Word... Continue Reading

Serving The Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:1–5)

Pastoral abuse of the flock has always been an issue.

Written by R. Scott Clark | Wednesday, August 17, 2016

Though they ought not to entertain accusations against a pastor of an elder lightly (1 Tim 5:19) officers must be ready to accept the possibility that abuse is occurring. Over the years I have received reports from laity and pastors of abuse and too often other officers have been reluctant to address the problem. Pastors... Continue Reading

Is the Christian Faith Rational?

I’ve had the question asked of me, “Is it true that you are a Christian rationalist?”

Written by R.C. Sproul | Tuesday, August 16, 2016

“When I say that Christianity is rational, I do not mean that the truth of Christianity in all of its majesty can be deduced from a few logical principles by a speculative philosopher. There is much information about the nature of God that we can find only because God himself chooses to reveal it to... Continue Reading

Henry VIII, the Reformation, and the First Authorized Bible

Spend much time in Protestant circles and you will eventually hear of the Authorized Bible

Written by Ryan Reeves | Tuesday, August 16, 2016

“Henry VIII is one of the oddest characters in the story of the Reformation. A man of conservative instincts when Luther’s reformation began, he nevertheless overthrew papal influence in England and built a church of his own.”   Spend much time in Protestant circles and you will eventually hear of the Authorized Bible or the King James Bible....

The Trinity: An Overview, Order in the Persons

God has revealed himself as three distinct persons or substantia

Written by Jeffrey A. Stivason | Tuesday, August 16, 2016

There are differences among the persons.  For example, there is a difference of order.  Giles writes, “The word order used relationally always implies the question, what order?”  The question is how are the three persons to be ordered?  Well, we need to keep a few things in mind.    An overview of the Trinity ought...

Ten Truths For Thomas

Put your trust in this mighty God, who has sent His Son to save, and bring you through this life, in the hands of the God the Everlasting, who never tires or wearies, to the holy world beyond

Written by Andrew Kerr | Monday, August 15, 2016

So here are ten truths for Thomas to drive out unbelief – are you facing financial ruin, are you unable to pay the mortgage, has you child gone off the rails, is your church wrecked by dispute, have you lost you wife or parent, are you about to be laid off, are you worried about...

Cautions About Signs of Grace

Do not look for spiritual qualifications before trusting Christ for your justification.

Written by Joel Beeke | Monday, August 15, 2016

First, be careful how you define the marks of grace. On the one hand, do not require such signs of yourself as no Christian has in this life. A true Christian keeps God’s commandments (1 John 3:24), but no Christian ever comes to the point where he may say he has no sin (1 John... Continue Reading
