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 -

Beyond Reason?
from John Lennox Sep 20, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
Although science with all of its power cannot address some of the fundamental questions that we ask, nevertheless the universe contains certain clues as to our relationship to it, clues that are scientifically accessible. The rational intelligibility of the universe, for instance, points to the existence of a Mind that was responsible both for the universe and for our minds. Keep Reading -
The Grace of Cheerful Giving
from Frank Cavalli Sep 17, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
In the last few years, the U.S. economy has faced its greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, and Americans are not out of the woods yet. This financial debacle, fueled by failed mortgages, has rippled through every sector of the economy. The values of homes and investments have plummeted. Consumer confidence has fallen to an all-time low. Millions are out of work, wondering how they will make ends meet. Since charitable giving is one of the first areas to suffer in an economic downturn, churches have felt the pinch and many have been forced to slash budgets and lay off staff. There’s no question we live in challenging times, but with each new challenge comes opportunity. Keep Reading -
The Triune God: Good, Beautiful, and True
from Harry Reeder Sep 13, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
Christians have grown accustomed to hearing that truth has been relativized, that there is no longer any such thing as objective truth. In his article from this month's issue of Tabletalk magazine, Harry Reeder shows that the same is true of beauty and goodness. They, too, have fallen captive to our post-modern culture. Yet "the Word of God clearly challenges our attempt to relativize truth, beauty, and goodness, first by declaring the Word itself true, beautiful, and good, then by revealing these as attributes of the triune God."

Building with Conviction
from R.C. Sproul Sep 07, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
The tabernacle of the Old Testament was a shadow of what was to come, a building that foreshadowed the Christ who was to come and "tablernacle" among us. Because the tabernacle was fulfilled in Christ, many Christians have come to the conclusion that there is nothing more we need to learn from it. R.C. Sproul, writing for this month's issue of Tabletalk magazine, disagrees. "The question is raised: Are there transferable principles found in the construction of the tabernacle that may be useful for the construction of houses of worship in the New Testament? I believe there are." Learn what Dr. Sproul suggests we ought to learn from the tabernacle by reading Building with Conviction. Keep Reading -
Encountering Absolute Rest
from Burk Parsons Sep 03, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
"All human beings are made in the image of God, and all human beings know God created them, whether or not they want to admit it. We know that God created us with an insatiable desire for goodness, truth, and beauty. By nature we know we need these three things and that we need them absolutely." This is how Burk Parsons begins to introduce the subject of this month's issue of Tabletalk which looks to God as the foundation of all that is good, true, and beautiful. Keep Reading
