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 -

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?"

Seeing Beyond The Shadowlands
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 23, 2013 Category: Articles
It has long been my contention that the Reformed church never quite got over the Enlightenment. While we rightly reject this premise and that conclusion at the heart of the Enlightenment experiment, we still drink deep of its spirit. Keep Reading -
The Word-less “Church”
from W. Robert Godfrey Feb 22, 2013 Category: Articles
Many American churches are in a mess. Theologically they are indifferent, confused, or dangerously wrong. Liturgically they are the captives of superficial fads. Morally they live lives indistinguishable from the world. They often have a lot of people, money, and activities. But are they really churches, or have they degenerated into peculiar clubs?

What Are “Dead Works”?
from Anthony Carter Feb 20, 2013 Category: Articles
Dead works are the works of our hands. These are works of selfrighteousness, and they are appropriately called "dead" works because they lead to death.
