4 Ways Christians Can Navigate Cultural Confusion around Gender in the Coming Decade

The question of transgender identity looks set to be significant for Christians both in matters of public life and pastoral care for the foreseeable future.

Written by Carl R. Trueman | Thursday, December 3, 2020

The person struggling with gender dysphoria is someone who, by definition, does not feel at home even in their own body. That sense of dis-ease cannot be eliminated over night. But we should remember that it is, in a sense, just one of the latest idioms for expressing that dis-ease that we all feel in... Continue Reading

5 Idols Revealed Through Hardship

Seasons of uncertainty and loss reveal the vanity of putting our ultimate hope in anyone but God.

Written by Mark Vroegop | Thursday, December 3, 2020

By reading books like Lamentations, we are reminded that divine blessing does not guarantee a pain-free life or a receptive culture. Lament helps us to see the way believers persevered while living in a society rampant with idols. But it also allows us to search our own hearts for the ways those idols have invaded...

Justice and Rearranged Bigotries (Dreher)

‘Social justice’ that projects unrighteousness solely onto particular groups is a perversion of Christian teaching.

Written by Shane Lems | Thursday, December 3, 2020

Without Christianity and its belief in the fallibility of human nature, secular progressives tend to rearrange their bigotries and call it righteousness. Christianity teaches that all men and women – not just the wealthy, the powerful, the straight, the white, and all other so-called oppressors – are sinners in need of the Redeemer. All men...

The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self

Exploring the Western world’s evolving understanding of the self.

Written by Tim Challies | Friday, November 27, 2020

Trueman is convinced that the changes we have seen in sexual mores since the 1960s are symptomatic of the deeper changes “in how we think of the purpose of life, the meaning of happiness, and what actually constitutes people’s sense of who they are and what they are for.”   “I am a woman trapped...

A New Video on the Pilgrims

Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the Voyage of Mayflower

Written by Frank J. Smith | Thursday, November 26, 2020

One way to celebrate Thanksgiving is to rehearse the history of the Pilgrims and the Mayflower. You can recount this history by watching a new video on the Pilgrims recently released. The Pilgrims, 17th-Century English Emigrants is a 30-minute documentary in celebration of the 400th anniversary this year of the voyage of Mayflower. Among the... Continue Reading

6 Ways to Live in Light of the Serpent-Slayer Story

Fight the serpent by believing and speaking the truth.

Written by Andy Naselli | Friday, November 20, 2020

We fight the serpent by contending for the faith against grace-perverting immorality (Jude 3-4). By excommunicating false teachers from the church because we recognize them for what they are—intruding snakes. By treasuring what is true and rejecting what is false. By loving what God loves and hating what God hates.   Taking Action Sometimes the... Continue Reading

3 Observations about Heaven

Jonathan Edwards encourages Christians struggling through the imperfections of life here on earth to experience the perfect love of God in communion with the Holy Spirit.

Written by Jonathan Edwards | Thursday, November 19, 2020

The whole church, ransomed and purified, shall there be presented to Christ as a bride clothed in fine linen, clean and white, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. Wherever the inhabitants of that blessed world shall turn their eyes, they shall see nothing but dignity, beauty, and glory.   There are none but... Continue Reading

Going Through Grief with the Family of God (Sittser)

“A Grace Disguised” by Jerry Sittser is his journaling about his grief on the loss of his daughter, wife, and mother in a single car crash.

Written by Shane Lems | Thursday, November 19, 2020

The story is beyond sad. But the story has Christian hope in it as well. The book isn’t a theology of suffering. It’s more of a Christian journaling about his grief and letting the reader know what he learned through it. I’ve blogged on this book several times.   One of my favorite resources on...

Covenant Theology: Biblical, Theological, and Historical Perspectives

This robust treatment will introduce divine covenants to serious readers.

Written by Ryan McGraw | Monday, November 16, 2020

Covenant theology still stands at the heart of Reformed theology. Though, as this book shows, Reformed theology is not alone in treating covenant themes, the covenant has a special place in Reformed faith and practice. The doctrine of the covenant is biblical, historical, and contemporary. Despite its size, this volume serves as a good introduction... Continue Reading

How Could an Oxford Professor of Mathematics Think Christianity is True?

"Against the Tide: Finding God in an Age of Science," a new documentary.

Written by Amy K. Hall | Thursday, November 12, 2020

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
