Can a Christian Lose Their Salvation?
There is no question that professing believers can fall and fall radically. We think of men like Peter, for example, who denied Christ. But the fact that he was restored shows that not every professing believer who falls has fallen past the point of no return. At this point, we should distinguish a serious and radical fall from a total and final fall. Read More May 22, 2019 at 05:00 AM | from R.C. Sproul

First-Ever Arabic Translation of the Canons of Dort Now Available
The Canons of Dort were written four hundred years ago, but they remain just as relevant today. Both then and now, the gospel truths rediscovered during the Reformation have come under assault.

What Is Discernment?
Discernment is like the physical senses; to some it is given in unusual measure as a special grace gift (1 Cor. 12:10), but some measure of it is essential for us all and must be constantly nourished.
