Mercy Ministry
from Tim Challies Dec 28, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
"Providing mercy to those in need is often a challenging task. It involves giving of yourself. I think that Paul understood this, for he encouraged those who were providing care for others not to grow weary in doing good (Gal. 6:9)." Mercy Ministry is the subject of the December issue of Tabletalk and it is also the subject of Elliot Grudem's article from the magazine. Keep Reading -
Congregational Counseling
from Tim Challies Dec 22, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
Premarital counseling can be an entertaining exercise for an older couple offering guidance to a younger couple. Across from them sit two individuals eager to wed. Apart from occasional disagreements about planning the ceremony, the soon-to-be-newlyweds are prone to think all is well, and their excitement is reflected on their faces. While the mentors don’t mean to discourage the couple, they do mean to equip the couple with counsel that will carry them beyond the honeymoon to the anniversaries to come. Keep Reading -

Thriving at College
from Tim Challies Nov 15, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine

Character-polluting influences can be readily discovered even at many Christian colleges, where freedom from Mom and Dad results in some experimenting with sin, perhaps manifesting an unconverted state.

from Tim Challies Nov 11, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul

Sproul's The Holiness of God where Dr. Sproul recounts one of his earliest memories--the final day of the Second World War. Keep Reading -
By Faith, Not Fear
from Tim Challies Nov 08, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
“Lions and tigers and bears, O my!” That’s not only one of the more memorable lines from cinematic history, it’s one of the more recognizable themes in contemporary discipleship. Sometimes fear of the enemies to our faith seems much more pronounced than faith in the object of our faith — the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep Reading
