Why Do We Suffer?
In today’s message from his video teaching series Dust to Glory, R.C. Sproul teaches on the book of Job and the biblical understanding of suffering. We suffer for many reasons. At times, we may be facing the direct consequences of our sin. But faithfulness is no guarantee that we won’t suffer. In fact, the opposite is often true.

Why Do Christians Worship on Sunday?
From creation onward, the people of God worshiped on the seventh day of the week. This was a “creation ordinance” that the Creator Himself established by His example, with the intent that His creatures would follow it.

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
