The End of the World as We Know It
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 16, 2013 Category: Articles
We are a worldly people and we know it. Trouble is, we don't know it well enough. As the broader western culture sinks more deeply into the moral abyss, as even our anemic and apologetic Christianity is vilified and judged it becomes all too easy to awaken to the dangers of worldliness. And of course our worldliness is easy enough to find. Keep Reading -
Why Do We Recite the Apostle’s Creed?
from Kim Riddlebarger Mar 15, 2013 Category: Articles
I'll never forget the first time I worshiped in a Presbyterian church. I had been raised in independent Bible churches where it was a given that Christians believed the Bible, while Roman Catholics relied on tradition. We had "no creed but Christ."

3 Fundamental Commitments Needed for a New Reformation
from Steven Lawson Mar 13, 2013 Category: Articles
If such a spiritual awakening is to come, there must be a new generation of heralds, men like Martin Luther, who are bold and biblical in their pulpit proclamation. They must have a high view of Scripture, a high view of God, and a high view of the pulpit. Each of these fundamental commitments is indispensable.

The Day of Atonement was a Copy of Christ’s Atonement
from Sinclair Ferguson Mar 11, 2013 Category: Articles
It is common to think of the Old Testament ritual as providing the model that Jesus' priesthood subsequently copied and fulfilled. But Hebrews sees things differently.

Following the Leader
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 09, 2013 Category: Articles
I don't much care for physics. Never did. That, of course, doesn't keep me from being grateful for physicists, and for engineers. This message has reached you through the labors of men who do care about such things. But usually when physicists start talking about wormholes, or engineers start talking about heat transfer rates, my mind begins to wander. Keep Reading -
The Book of Ruth: More Than a Love Story
from Mark Nussbaum Mar 08, 2013 Category: Articles
We do a great injustice to sacred Scripture by contenting ourselves with quaint stories and life lessons as if they were the prime products of our study of God's word. The book of Ruth has undoubtedly received its fair share of undervaluation at this point. For example, the theme of marriage occupies much of the story, but when viewed as an idealized romance between faithful Ruth and godly Boaz, the rich theology of this book passes right under the noses of many of its admirers.

Why Did Jesus Die?
from Anthony Carter Mar 06, 2013 Category: Articles
Why did Christ die for us? Yes, He died because we needed to be saved. But even more glorious is that He died to demonstrate God's love in saving us.

Jesus Christ: The Lamb of God
from R.C. Sproul Mar 04, 2013 Category: Articles
This idea of the Lamb of God is a strand that runs throughout the history of redemption. It can be traced all the way back to Genesis 22, when God called Abraham to go to Mount Moriah and offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice.

Do Minimum Wage Laws Help Either the Poor or the Overall Economy?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 02, 2013 Category: Articles
No, on both counts. Our labor is a service. Its value is determined neither by law nor by wish but by the market. All of us, I suspect, would love to be paid $1,000 an hour. Given that all of us would want this, why don't we pass a law stating no one could be paid less than $1,000 an hour? Were we to do so, I suspect that some athletes, some rock stars and perhaps a few actors would still be employed. The rest of us, however, would be out of work. There is no employer out there willing to pay me that much. (If you disagree, by all means, let me know who they are.) Keep Reading -
How Can I Explain the Trinity to a Child?
from David Murray Mar 01, 2013 Category: Articles
Last week, I took part in a Google Hangout at Ligonier's 2013 National Conference. One of the questions I was asked was, "How can I explain the Trinity to a small child without moralistic illustrations or logical arguments over their head?"
