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...
As Christians wait for kingdom consummation, they serve with unquenchable hope and joy, knowing that nothing they do is in vain if it is done for the Lord.
by Gabriel N.E. Fluhre | The term eschatology and its meaning are the subject of unfamiliarity and confusion for many Christians. Much of this is because of how eschatology has been taught. Most of the time, it is limited to a study of the last events preceding the return of Christ. Certainly, it is not less than a study of those things...
By His Spirit, we strive to walk faithfully in sexual morality and chastity, fleeing from fornication of any kind.
by Aaron L. Garriott | The word fornication is a common English translation (KJV) of the Greek word porneia, from which we derive the word pornography. Translators differ how to best translate this Greek word. The most common English translations are sexual immorality...
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...
As many know, Socrates developed a teaching method relying on questions to communicate foundational maxims for life. Our Savior and those whom He trained took this method to another level for addressing the issues of truth and eternity.
by Harry L. Reeder III | There are two things we will not do in heaven: sin or evangelize. So by God’s grace, let’s prepare for heaven by sinning less and evangelizing more. Consider using questions to bring Christ and the gospel answer to sinners and by God’s glorious grace to bring sinners to Christ. I confess to experiencing a...
Machen saw clearly that what this sinful world needs is full, robust Christianity that accepts the teaching of the whole Bible.
by W. Robert Godfrey | His reflections on the nature of true Christianity in each chapter show the profound and powerful importance of these truths. But before he develops this great theme, he reflects briefly on the broader issues confronting Christians in our times, particularly naturalism and materialism. “Material betterment has gone hand in hand with...
You cannot read the Scriptures without encountering the central importance of the family in God’s purpose for both creation and redemption.
by Michael G. McKelvey | The narrative of Genesis 2 intends to show us that without woman, mankind and creation itself are incomplete. In His wisdom, the Lord shows this to the man. He does so by bringing the animals before Adam to name them, but that is not all God is doing. The Lord is revealing to the man that the animals exist in pairs (male and female), but he...
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...
