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 ...

Preaching: the first essential mark of the Church

John 3:16
from R.C. Sproul Nov 07, 2008 Category: R.C. Sproul
It is ironic that in the same chapter, indeed in the same context, in which our Lord teaches the utter necessity of rebirth to even see the kingdom, let alone choose it, non-Reformed views find one of their main proof texts to argue that fallen man retains a small island of ability to choose Christ. It is John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Keep Reading -

A Visible Word

Robert Bruce (1551-1631) is not a household name, even among knowledgeable Reformed Christians. He was at one time, however, one of the most important leaders in the Church of Scotland.

The World Upside Down
from Burk Parsons Nov 04, 2008 Category: Articles
It's hard to believe that it was nearly a decade ago that we witnessed the turn of the third millennium. If you recall, on New Year's Day several network TV stations featured live coverage from around the world. It was an international spectacle with an estimated viewing audience of more than one billion worldwide. With great intrigue I watched as each culture welcomed the new millennium in its own way according to the customs of its heritage.

I was recently skimming a book about Cambridge University and ran across a picture of the new Divinity Faculty building completed in 2000. Having looked at page after page of pictures of the centuries-old buildings of Cambridge, I was taken aback by the design chosen for this new structure. I decided to do an online search to see what the old building looked like. It's quite a contrast. Here is a picture of the old Divinity Faculty building: Keep Reading
