How Could an Oxford Professor of Mathematics Think Christianity is True?
"Against the Tide: Finding God in an Age of Science," a new documentary.
In the film, Lennox doesn’t go too deeply into any one argument for the truth of Christianity. Instead, it’s more of a conversational overview of many basic arguments (the cosmological argument, fine tuning, the resurrection, etc.). How could an Oxford professor of mathematics think Christianity is true? That’s the question addressed by a new... Continue Reading
Revelation-Driven Life
The Lord Jesus will reign and even now is ruling and overruling world events to orchestrate His eternal enthronement as the one, sovereign King over all.
The end of Revelation reminds us that the church relates to her King not only as an army engaged in spiritual warfare, but also as a bride preparing for her wedding day. The Lord has chosen us for Himself. At the conclusion of the age, when all of His enemies are defeated, the church of... Continue Reading
True Theology
To understand the unity of God’s Word rightly, we must understand covenant theology accurately.
Covenant theology rightly understood is foundational to our faith, and those who meddle with either the covenant of works or the covenant of grace will soon meddle with the gospel of God. In a sermon on Hebrews 8:10 published on October 31, 1912, the English Baptist pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon declared: “The doctrine of... Continue Reading
On the Road to Emmaus
Reject all attempts to rob you of your faith.
When we see Sacred Scripture correctly, we see that it is all about our Lord and God’s plan of redemption of His elect. If the Bible is not the Word of God and, therefore, not authoritative, complete, and inerrant then this is just another myth that could be an object lesson, but no more. 1... Continue Reading
Scripture’s Clarity: A New Testament Defense
The New Testament was written to be clear.
Since Scripture is perspicuous, false doctrine can be rejected and sound doctrine can be instructed in (Ti 1:9). God’s word is understandable. It is expected to be trusted in, defended, proclaimed, and nourishing to those to read it in faith. As we saw in the article on Scripture’s clarity in the Old Testament, explicit... Continue Reading
Taking on the Revolutionary Program of Ibram X. Kendi
Kendi’s brand of antiracism contradicts sound doctrine. It falls to us to say so.
Kendi’s antiracism entails an overthrow of traditional family norms, Christian teaching about marriage, the American economic system, and indeed the entire social order. In other words, antiracism implies a revolution. Anyone reading this site over the last several years has probably noticed my growing alarm about leftist “social justice” ideologies. I had already become... Continue Reading
Maria Fearing and the Mission to the Congo
"Mother from far away."
In 1894, William Sheppard spoke at the college about his service in the Congo (Zaire) and asked for volunteers to join him. At that time, Mary was 56 years old—an age when most people today think about retirement. With a small body weighing about 90 pounds, she also looked frail. Once again, she didn’t see...

Only His Heart Can Heal Yours
God possesses an unimaginably big heart toward sinners.
God’s love meets stony, unbreakable, impenetrable hearts today and replaces them. It meets rebellious, wounded, bleeding hearts and remakes them. It takes motionless hearts and makes them pulse with heavenly life. We all walk through this fallen world on streets of shattered promises. Believer or unbeliever, wealthy or poor, young or old, few, if... Continue Reading
Four Implications of Martin Luther’s Theology
"If I could believe that God was not angry at me, I would stand on my head for joy."
For Luther, the Christian life is a gospel-grounded, gospel-built, gospel-magnifying life that exhibits the free and sovereign grace of God and is lived out in gratitude to the Savior who died for us, yoked to Him in cross-bearing until death is swallowed up in victory and faith becomes sight. What do the sovereignty of God,... Continue Reading
Sometimes You Cannot Fix What You Have Broken
There is a need to be realistic here as well as hope.
There is hope. Even Rehoboam, who had shown no inclination to obey God, listened at the last minute. You can too. It is not too late. You can start listening to God, serve him well from today, and look forward to when all our problems are fixed. Sometimes you cannot fix the issues from the... Continue Reading
