Tabletalk 2011: The First Six Months
from Chris Donato Oct 25, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
For more than thirty years, Tabletalk has existed as a magazine for the church. So it strives to help explain important, biblical doctrines and events that shape the church while encouraging people to reflect the image of Christ in both word and deed. We are proud to follow that same trajectory in 2011—dealing with issues that challenge, exhort, and encourage God’s people. And all this is offered on top of our daily devotional readings and various columns, which deal with entirely different topics throughout the year. What follows is a brief look at what’s coming in the next six months. Keep Reading -
Biblical Objectivity
from Tim Challies Oct 22, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
The news industry has fallen upon difficult times. The old model has come close to complete disintegration, revenues have plummeted and few hold out much hope for those old media. Nick Eicher is publisher of World magazine and CEO of God’s World Publications. He has witnessed this decline from an insider's perspective. And yet he is not lamenting the change. Keep Reading -
Receiving the Baton
from Tim Challies Oct 19, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
Bob Kauflin sees that he is running the final laps of his race here on earth and this has made him start thinking about passing the baton. In the current issue of Tabletalk he writes, "Last year I gave a message on transferring ministry responsibility to the next generation. In my preparation, I came across some principles for passing the baton in a relay race that are surprisingly relevant for young leaders." Keep Reading -
Grace Transforms Everything
from Tim Challies Oct 15, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
Sean Michael Lucas noted that in his town a church just went through a rebranding effort "as part of their relocation to a new building in a different section of town. Their logo and signage are beautiful and well conceived. One sees their stickers on cars everywhere. And their tagline is memorable: 'Faith changes everything.'" While on one hand he is inclined to agree with this statement, on the other hand he wonders if it wouldn't be better to speak of grace. Keep Reading -
Apostasy
from Larry McCall Oct 11, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
"Come winter, the ice forms almost imperceptibly on the lake near our home. After the first few cold nights, a bit of skim ice may be noticed by the observant passerby. Gradually, ever so gradually, the ice thickens as the cold takes its grip on our northern Indiana community. By the dead of winter, fisherman labor at drilling through two feet of hard ice to get through to the warmer waters below." Keep Reading -
Justification by Death?
from R.C. Sproul Oct 06, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
In this article from the current issue of Tabletalk, R.C. Sproul deals with one of the most pervasive false views of justification--that justification comes by death. "It is an implicit universalism that assumes everyone goes to heaven when he or she dies. Perhaps the most rank evildoers, such as Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin, may not make it, but the average person certainly has nothing to worry about." Keep Reading -

Jerusalem and Athens
from Tim Challies Sep 28, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
"What hath Jerusalem to do with Athens?" asks R.C. Sproul Jr. in his article from the September issue of Tabletalk. "Much in every way" he insists. He points to the negative and to the positive, saying that both cities are filled with sinners, but that both are ruled by the same Lord. However, "That Jesus is Lord of Athens does not mean that all is well with Athens. We cannot safely assume the city to be safe because our Lord rules over it." Keep Reading -
To Be Deep in History
from Tim Challies Sep 24, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
In the nineteenth century two prominent Anglican clergymen converted to Roman Catholicism: John Henry Newman and Henry Edward Manning.
