Husbands, 8 Admonitions to Love Your Wife
from William Boekestein May 22, 2013 Category: Articles
"Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them." (Col. 3:19, NKJV)
When God says, "Husbands, love your wives," he speaks of the woman as a complex being. He calls every man to love his whole wife just as every man loves his whole self (Eph. 5 ...

From Age to Age: The Unfolding of Biblical Eschatology
from Keith Mathison Mar 26, 2009 Category: Ligonier Resources
Books on eschatology often focus solely on topics such as the Second Coming of Christ and the millennium. However, because the first advent of Christ inaugurated the last days, a complete study of biblical eschatology must include a study of Christ's first advent as well as his second. It must also include a study of God's preparations in redemptive history for the eschatological first advent of Christ. Keep Reading -
Authority in Vocation
from Gene Edward Veith Mar 25, 2009 Category: Articles
Do you want to know how Christians can influence the culture? How to have a strong family? Do you want to know the meaning of your life? Do you want to know how authority works? Then attend to the Reformation doctrine of vocation. This strangely neglected doctrine has to do with how God providentially governs the world of human beings. It also constitutes the theology of the Christian life. Keep Reading -
The Final Word
from Keith Mathison Mar 24, 2009 Category: Articles
In the early part of the twentieth century, one would have been hard pressed to find a greater theological mind than that of Benjamin B. Warfield (1851-1921). Sadly, both he and his work are virtually unknown today outside of certain circles in the Reformed churches. During his lifetime, however, his scholarship was world-renowned. Although a great theologian, Warfield never wrote a complete systematic theology text. He did, however, write extensively on a wide range of topics, at both the popular and academic levels. His collected works fill ten volumes, and his breadth and depth of knowledge remain something to behold. One subject to which Warfield made a lasting contribution is the doctrine of Scripture. The various essays on this doctrine found in The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible (P&R Publishing, 1948) are of such quality that they have made this volume a modern-day classic. Keep Reading -
Watch the Introduction to Handout Apologetics, Now Available on DVD
from David Theriault Mar 23, 2009 Category: Articles
I'd like to begin this with a preface, which really amounts to a disclaimer. I came to Ligonier over two years ago from Los Angeles to be their 'video guy.' I have no formal theological training, but have been a believer for over twenty years. I knew that working here would have its perks, whether it was the weekly devotional for employees led by Rev. Burk Parsons, the kindred nature of working with like minded colleagues, or the recognition that my family was rightly prioritized over career ambitions, and more. What I hadn't given too much thought to was that I would be exposed to such tremendous theological instruction and wisdom on a daily basis, just by doing my job as the 'video guy.' Keep Reading -
Standards of Accountability
from Tim Challies Mar 22, 2009 Category: Articles
When the minister of the gospel faces the Lord God as judge, there will be many questions addressed to him. There will be many standards of accountability. There will be many criteria of judgment. But in the end, the most essential criterion of judgment for the minister of God is, "Did you preach the Word? Did you fully carry out the ministry of the Word? In season and out of season, was the priority of your ministry the preaching of the Word?" Keep Reading -

Ligonier National Conference - Robert Godfrey
from Tim Challies Mar 21, 2009 Category: Articles
The Ligonier Ministries National Conference is drawing to a close. We have come to the final day and began with a message from Dr. Robert Godfrey who preached on "The Holiness of God and the Cross." He began by saying that even as Christians we tend to have a trivial view of sin which turns sinners into naughty kids and God into an indulging grandfather. We like to sin, God likes to forgive, so what's the problem? Keep Reading -

Ligonier National Conference - Thabiti Anyabwile
from Tim Challies Mar 20, 2009 Category: Articles
Late this afternoon we heard from Thabiti Anyabwile on "Cosmic Treason: Sin & the Holiness of God." He began by joking that his name is Swahili and roughly translated means "suffering for Jesus in the Cayman Islands." And then he got down to business. He read Numbers 25 and divided his exposition of this chapter into four sections. He wanted to use this passage to make some observations about sin as cosmic treason. Keep Reading
