The Secret of Good vs. Better

Paul saw the life of the believer as ultimately consisting of two options: good and better.

Written by Trevin Wax | Monday, January 11, 2021

What’s better? Not just believing in Christ, but suffering for Him. Far from seeing his imprisonment as an obstacle to God’s mission, Paul trusted that God’s plan for his life was working to further God’s kingdom and build up His church. Because salvation for our sins came through the redemptive suffering of Jesus, Paul knew... Continue Reading

Jiří Třanovský – A Singer of Comfort

"Up, weak knees and spirit bowed in sorrow! No tomorrow shall arise to beat you down..."

Written by Simonetta Carr | Saturday, January 9, 2021

Like the German Paul Gerhardt (and King David in the Psalms), Třanovský can communicate the anguish of human suffering as only those who have descended into their depths can do. In this, he put into words the feelings of most men and women of his time. But he also lifted them up to grasp the... Continue Reading

Covenant Theological Seminary Announces Its Sixth President

Rev. Dr. Thomas C. Gibbs will become the sixth President of Covenant Seminary beginning July 1, 2021

Written by Covenant Seminary | Thursday, January 7, 2021

Dr. Gibbs brings a great love for the Bible and pastoral ministry, having served as a pastor for 24 years. After graduating from Covenant Seminary in 1997, he started a new Reformed University Fellowship chapter at Baylor University, which continues to this day. He then planted Redeemer Presbyterian Church of San Antonio, Texas, in 2002... Continue Reading

Donald Trump Is Not the Lord Jesus Christ. Got It? Are You Sure?

A burden on my heart to share: Donald Trump is not our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In fact, he is just a man — all man, not God at all.

Written by John Zmirak | Thursday, January 7, 2021

Trump’s not even a deeply religious person, but a kind of lapsed Presbyterian. His marriage to Melania isn’t recognized by her own Catholic Church. So he’s not even a prophet. We have no way of knowing if he is (in Protestant terms) “saved,” or (using Catholic language) in a “state of grace.” He’s just a... Continue Reading

Jaroslav Jan Vajda – Singing the Language of Today’s Hearts

“Now the Silence” – which, he said, “came out of nowhere,” was different from anything he had done before.

Written by Simonetta Carr | Tuesday, January 5, 2021

  Today, Vajda is one of the most respected hymn writers. The complete collection of his hymns, Sing Peace, Sing Gift of Peace, was published by Concordia Publishing House in 2003. His hymns, carols, and translations (more than 200) can also be found in the hymnals of many Christian denominations throughout the world and have been... Continue Reading

William Carey’s Ministry a Story of Desire, Opportunity, and Gifting

Carey desired to see the nations reached with the gospel. His gifts were clear from an early age, and his opportunity came in time.

Written by Ryan Robertson | Tuesday, December 29, 2020

Carey became a member of the first team sent out by the new Society he inspired and established with a group of faithful friends. For the next several decades, this Society funded Carey’s work. All of these opportunities—and countless more—came about because of the sovereign hand of the Lord. Once again, we see the triad... Continue Reading

The Death of My Son and the Birth of My Savior

The birth of my Savior has everything to do with the death of my son, for it is only because of Christ’s birth that I can have hope in Nick’s death.

Written by Tim Challies | Thursday, December 24, 2020

The birth of my Savior has everything to do with the death of my son, for it is only because of Christ’s birth that I can have hope in Nick’s death. Because Jesus lived and lives, I can have confidence that Nick lives and will live. Christmas does not take away all my pain, but... Continue Reading

What Is…Truth?

Did the Jeopardy master get the most important question right?

Written by Sharon Sampson | Wednesday, December 23, 2020

While Alex Trebek may have held all the cards in his hands as he stood at that podium night after night in an Armani suit, it is the Lord, in fact, who says, “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you... Continue Reading

The Courage To Live While Not Dying

Too many faces this Christmas seemed tinged with fear; people’s anguish seems deeper than even COVID-19.

Written by Peter Rosenberger | Wednesday, December 23, 2020

Healthiness and pain-free existence is a fool’s dream that disease, injury, or time will inevitably disrupt. A life of meaning, purpose, and consequence does not require the lack of sorrows, loss, and even sickness. One could even say that the fragility of our lives provides an exquisite value to each moment.   All too many... Continue Reading

The Isolation of Evangelical Elites

If there is any parroting of the political divide within Christianity itself, the problem of religious elitism is certainly a contributing factor.

Written by Chris Gordon | Tuesday, December 22, 2020

Without a doubt, the culture is running a bus over evangelicals at present. And many heartland populists are sick and tired of their own Christian institutions pandering to whatever the culture pushes them to do as they are further marginalized. I hear the concerns frequently: Why do our Christian institutions go theological liberal? More perplexing,... Continue Reading
