My Grandfather Died with Dignity
Grandpa Tom’s dignity amidst his dependence on others was a loud rebuke to the arrogant pride that says, “I matter because I can take care of myself.”
In Q&A at a 2021 training session by the Canada Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, a physician asked Dr. Kevin Reel—the president of the Canadian Bioethics Society—what a doctor should do if a patient sought MAiD “because of socioeconomic reasons.” Dr. Reel replied that of course the physician didn’t have to administer MAiD, but...

Naomi Wolf Wants Us to ‘Face the Beast’
It is time we wake from our slumber.
“We were not in a normal time of normal bad human politics and normal bad destructive material choices. I realized gradually that the degradation taking place on the material plane simply reflected or manifested a much larger battle—indeed a spiritual battle; one between Good and Evil themselves, and that God—whom till now I hesitated to...

Contributions Sought for the ‘Mark and Priscilla Lowrey Relief Fund’
An opportunity to aid and assist Priscilla Lowrey with Mark’s medical and end-of-life expenses by contributing to a fund set up through the PCA Foundation.
You may or may not be aware that Mark suffered medical difficulties for over a year now. He encountered great difficulty, suffering the neurological loss of his limbs and bearing up under physical pain. Despite being treated by some of the best doctors, this was all compounded by tremendous difficulty in diagnosing the problem. Recently,... Continue Reading
Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) Founder Mark Lowrey Called Home to Glory
Mark Lowrey (1945-2023), founder of Reformed University Fellowship and former head of Great Commission Publications, has been called home to glory.
In the earliest days of the PCA, college ministry was not uniformly viewed as a crucial pillar of outreach for the young denomination: parachurch organizations such as InterVarsity Fellowship and Campus Crusade already occupied much of that sphere. Yet recognizing the need for sound biblical teaching on campus, Lowrey put forth a vision of ordained... Continue Reading
A Statement from Tenth Presbyterian Church Regarding Our Senior Minister
Dr. Liam Goligher resigned as Senior Minister of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia on Friday, December 1, 2023.
During this time of trouble and confusion, our only hope at Tenth Church is to humble ourselves, and in repentance and faith seek the mercy of God through Jesus Christ, and to encourage others who struggle with sin in their lives to do the same. It is only by being reconciled to God through Jesus... Continue Reading
Cultural Influence in the Church, Primitive and Present
Judging by the New Testament, the primitive church did not wholly escape being influenced by the cultural assumptions by which it was surrounded.
The problem is that the former set, controlling the levers of public evangelical opinion as they do, seem utterly oblivious to the fact that there are many of us who not only think differently but also somewhat resent the suggestion that we ought to adopt their manner of thinking. It seems to be felt –... Continue Reading
He Failed — But He Was Undoubtedly Right
It doesn’t seem one can say — by a biblical measurement — that Machen failed. The failure lies with those who refuse to hear and heed the clarion call of the gospel of Jesus Christ
If someone had penned an obituary for Jesus the day after his death, it might have very well concluded with the same words: “He failed.” But such a memorial would betray an ignorance of the God of resurrection. Often what appears to be failure and defeat is, in fact, success and victory. What was Machen’s... Continue Reading
“No Little People, No Little Places”: Francis Schaeffer’s Vision of Faithfulness
May God be pleased that we serve faithfully wherever He has us.
The church (regenerate persons) is, in the new covenant, the people of God. One biblical image or metaphor for the church, or the people of God, is that we are the “temple”—the “temple of the holy spirit” (1 Cor. 6:19). Would not then pastoral ministry—whether in Toone, Tennessee, or in Willow, Alaska, or in Manhattan,... Continue Reading
My Rejoinder to Kevin DeYoung
Kevin worked hard to be even-handed, but he was so even-handed that he diluted the force of his subsequent critique.
You don’t get to launch a critique like this one, designed to make a lot of good-hearted people think twice about their attraction to the Moscow Mood, and then with a flourish refuse to take questions, or to be too busy for replies. You can’t launch an attack and then call for a cease fire.... Continue Reading
The Rapture
Regardless of what we believe about the timing of the rapture, we need to have a balanced attitude toward the second coming of Christ.
In Revelation chapter seven, the saints are sealed with the seal of the living God. In Revelation chapter nine, the locusts from the abyss with the power of scorpions are commanded to harm only those people who do not have the seal of God on their forehead. Dr. Jeremiah says that God has to remove... Continue Reading
