One or Two? by Peter Jones

FROM TABLETALK | January 2012

An ideology is taking over the West that is both very spiritual and self-consciously anti-Christian. It intends, ever so subtly, without ever saying so explicitly, to grind the gospel into the dustbin of history. The 1960s was an incredibly formative …Read More

Revelation-Driven Life by Tom Ascol

FROM TABLETALK | January 2012

God wins. If I had to summarize the message of Revelation in just two words, those would be my choice. They not only convey the point of the book but also hint at its main storyline. Despite what some overly …Read More

Sheep, Wolves, Snakes, and Doves by John Piper

FROM TABLETALK | September 2011

When Jesus sends us to bear witness to Him in the world, He does not send us out as dominant and strong but as weak and seemingly defenseless in ourselves. The only reason I say “seemingly” defenseless is that it …Read More

Evangelism and the Gospel by Donald Whitney

FROM TABLETALK | May 2011

It does little good to encourage people to discipline themselves to evangelize if they do not know the gospel. Try this experiment in your church, class, or small group to reveal one’s level of preparedness to share the gospel …Read More

A Relegated Gospel by Burk Parsons

FROM TABLETALK | February 2011

Dear Wormtongue, Before we get to the primary reason for our letter, we want to begin by commending you for the most excellent job you’ve done in your well orchestrated effort to convince your patient to keep his faith …Read More

Does the Church Know Her Commission? by Denny Burk

FROM TABLETALK | February 2011

Have you ever wished you could have a do-over? Have you ever looked back on a situation in which you know that you really botched the job and you just wish you could have another crack at it? That is …Read More

Missions by David Robertson

FROM TABLETALK | February 2011

Our Dear Diabolos, It is clear that you have not quite got the hang of this temptation thing. Take the matter of what the enemy calls “mission.“ We understand what this is — to bring the dreadful news of His Son …Read More

The Mystery of Christ by John Petersen

FROM TABLETALK | January 2011

I love a good mystery story from time to time, particularly an Agatha Christie work like the wellknown Murder on the Orient Express. It took a brilliant detective several days to reveal the murderer aboard that infamous train. What is …Read More

Not Return Void (Africa Journal #4) by R.C. Sproul Jr.

Logistics intimidate me. Had I been present at the sermon that preceded the feeding of the five thousand I wouldn’t have heard a word. My mind would have been rather occupied with that one burning question — How are we …Read More

Contextualize This (Africa Journal #3) by R.C. Sproul Jr.

I scanned my notes rather quickly, looking for problems. I would soon be preaching amidst a gathering throng of Kenyans. Was there an allusion somewhere in here to America culture? Were there idioms that would make no sense to these …Read More

The Holy Catholic Church (Africa Journal #2) by R.C. Sproul Jr.

One of the great blessings of my calling is that I am called to travel far and wide from time to time. Over the course of little more than a year, I have traveled to teach in the United Kingdom …Read More

Thirteen Souls (Africa Journal #1) by R.C. Sproul Jr.

One of my many weaknesses is that I don’t, at least in my heart, believe that missionaries have weaknesses. I see them as super-heroes. How wonderful they must be to leave the comforts of home and family to go …Read More

The Magic Bullet by Sebastian Heck

FROM TABLETALK | December 2010

Within the space of forty-eight hours, one could tour more than a dozen of Europe’s most beautiful historic cathedrals, emblems of Christianity’s once ubiquitous presence. But for the people who live in Europe, and I speak as a …Read More

The Missing Motive by Eric Alexander

FROM TABLETALK | February 2010

I am notoriously bad at remembering anniversaries, and last year it was quite a surprise to discover that 2008 marked the fiftieth anniversary of my ordination to the Christian ministry. Not that the occasion was other than memorable. Indeed it …Read More

Evangelizing Our Children by E. Calvin Beisner

FROM TABLETALK | January 2010

God tells us to command our children to keep the way of the Lord (Gen. 18:19), which includes faith in Jesus Christ. We are to command our children to trust in Jesus for their salvation. We are to teach …Read More
