Scripture is all that the church needs to faithfully serve and honor Christ and advance the kingdom.
Scripture is given so that the “man of God may be complete” (2 Tim. 3:17). The word that is translated “complete” (Greek artios) means “fit, complete, capable, adequate, sufficient.” Paul says that God’s Word is complete and sufficient so that we can be men and women of God…
Remembering the brevity of life keeps us focused on what matters, that we might live a life of wisdom, giving ourselves wholeheartedly to th
by Chris Walker | We live in a culture that holds out the glitter of wealth and opportunity and calls us to spend our days pursuing its goods. We live in a culture that presses us to compromise God’s truth to find acceptance and success here and now. But in the face of these temptations, remembering the brevity of…
Adam was created in a state of positive holiness and was not subject to the law of death, but the possibility of sinning existed.
by Richard P. Belcher Jr. | We are uniquely made in God’s creation. We are able to have a personal relationship with God through communication and fellowship with Him. We are created to worship Him and to find our highest purpose in living our lives for His glory...
by Stéphane Simonnin | The idea of immutability is very hard for us to understand, perhaps more so than the idea of eternity or infinity. How can ever-changing creatures such as us who live in an ever-changing reality grasp the idea of “changelessness”? The fact that everything changes has always been a truism. “Change is here to stay,” business analysts...
The biblical doctrine of the church triumphant is a great encouragement because it describes the blessing that we look forward to when our earthly battle is over.
by Keith A. Mathison | In this life we wage constant warfare, and we are wearied with the remnants of sin in our flesh, with burdens, and with sorrows. But when we are present with the Lord, we are freed from these burdens, and we receive great blessings prepared for us by God. Some of the most breathtakingly beautiful descriptions of...
Some of my earliest childhood memories center on being with my family in worship on the Lord’s Day. In the Reformed and Presbyterian churches that we attended, expository preaching, hymn-singing, and prayer were fixed elements of worship, as were the historic creeds and confessions of the Christian church.
by Nick Batzig | When Christians publicly confess the truths that the church has always confessed, God is distinguishing between the church and the world—as well as between true and false churches. Historic doctrinal standards help draw a sharp line between orthodox teaching and false teaching in the articulation of “the faith that was once for all delivered to...
The question I would like to consider is this: Do we ever encounter nitpicking in the church? A better way for each of us to ask this would be, Do I ever engage in nitpicking in regard to the church?
by Keith A. Mathison | American Pickers is a television series about a couple of guys who own an antiques business in Iowa. They travel around the United States digging through old barns, attics, warehouses, and just about any other imaginable place where things accumulate in order to find items for resale. They buy and sell everything from old cars and motorcycles to old toys and signs. I enjoy watching it from time...
Our Savior must be both truly God and truly man to save us from sin. Only one who is God can withstand the wrath of God against sin and grant us everlasting life. Yet only one who is man, who has the same nature as us, could bear the curse for our sins in the same nature that sinned in the beginning.
by Brandon D. Crowe | Machen himself observed that the substitutionary atonement assumes the uniqueness of Christ’s person. Our estate of sin is so great that no mere man could ever pull us out of the depths of its quagmire. We do not need only a model or a teacher; we need a Savior. As Machen asserted, “Jesus is no mere example for faith, but the object of faith.” We do not need a mere man to save us, but we do need a true man to save us. We need one who is truly God and truly man...
