Living with a Sense of Eternity
from Sinclair Ferguson May 17, 2013 Category: Articles
It is commonplace today in Reformed theology to recognize that the Christian lives "between the times" — already we are in Christ, but a yet more glorious future awaits us in the final consummation. There is, therefore, a "not yet" about our present Christian experience. John Calvin well understood this, and ...

Significant Books of 2009
from Keith Mathison Dec 17, 2009 Category: Articles
2009 was a banner year for Reformed bookhounds like me. Being the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth, we were blessed with a number of great new works about the life and theology of the Reformer. There were also significant new books in other fields. The following list is certainly not exhaustive (I do not have the chance to see every new publication). It merely contains some of the books published in the last year that are, in my opinion, significant for one reason or another. Keep Reading -

Our Blessed Struggle
from Guy Richard Dec 15, 2009 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
I find it interesting that, of all the names God could have chosen for His people, He chose “Israel.” And while different opinions exist as to what the name Israel actually means, it seems that the context in which the name is given in Genesis 32 favors the meaning “he struggles with God” over every other option (see verses 22–32 and Hos. 12:3–4). It would seem that God, in His infinite wisdom, chose to call His people “strugglers.” Keep Reading -

Some of our favorite moments here at Ligonier come when we hear of the unique ways people are using resources we offer to train and equip others. Recently, a pastor was sharing with one of our resource consultants about a ministry in his church where they use the daily devotionals found in Tabletalk to conduct a weekly Bible study.

Anchoring Your Soul
from R.C. Sproul Dec 13, 2009 Category: R.C. Sproul
The God of Christianity is not a frivolous God. He is not given to caprice or arbitrary acts of violence. His actions are not irrational expressions or whims. We do not know why at a given place or a given time natural catastrophes take place. Easy equations of guilt and disaster are ruled out by statements in the book of Job and the ninth chapter of John’s gospel. When inexplicable disasters occur, we must say with Luther, “Let God be God.” Keep Reading -

The Manhattan Declaration: Why didn’t you sign it, R.C.?
from R.C. Sproul Dec 08, 2009 Category: Articles
On November 20, 2009, a document called the Manhattan Declaration was presented to the public by a coalition of cobelligerents. The document is concerned primarily with three very important biblical and cultural issues: the sanctity of life, the meaning of marriage, and the nature of religious liberty. Without question, these issues are up for grabs in our nation. Keep Reading -
Moving Toward the Goal of History
from R.C. Sproul Dec 08, 2009 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
"What goes around, comes around." This American idiom suggests a view of history that has more in common with ancient Greek philosophy than with the Judeo-Christian understanding of history. The grand difference between the ancient view of history and that found in Scripture is the difference between what is called "cyclical" and "linear-progressive." A cyclical view indicates that there was no beginning to the universe and no goal for it; rather, history creates itself and eventually repeats itself -- forever. It was this ancient perspective that generated the skepticism that inspired Friedrich Nietzsche's view of "the myth of eternal recurrence." Keep Reading
