This article originally appeared on my blog (Here). “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) Service is not a uniquely Christian concept. The language of service is something engrained throughout society....

Do You Know of Any Calvinistic Methodists?
Greetings Friends,
I met a man a few weeks ago who recently left the United Methodist Church after serving as a pastor for 30+ years and moved to my area to plant a church under some new traditional Wesleyan group. Though the man and I have significant differences between the two of us I've enjoyed the interactions I've had with him and his missionary zeal has made a favorable impression on... -
Adultery and homosexuality in the moral law
Since adultery is transgression of the moral law, would the stoning of the adulterer also be considered part of the moral law?
Does this also apply to homosexuality? -

Good Evening,
A follow-up from an old post of mine here:

Trying to dig back down into my understanding of CT, specifically relating to how many distinct covenants do we see in scripture (2 or 3). This short article summarizes my current understanding and how CT was first presented to me:... -

Warnings Against Judging Brothers
I listened to Fred's sermon on Romans 14:1-12 a bit earlier. It is a good corrective to both legalism, judgmentalism, and immature triumphalism. I think everyone would benefit from taking the time to listen to it as and when it is convenient to do so. -
R. C. Sproul's "Truths We Confess"
I see that this 3-volume set of books (originally published about 10 years ago) has been re-issued as a 1-volume, approximately 760-page hardback. I think it's been re-typeset and has consecutive pagination - in other words, it's not just the original three books bound together unchanged.
It also has a new subtitle: "A Systematic Exposition of the Westminster Confession of Faith."
It also... -
The Christian Standard Bible and Reformed Circles
Hello!
So I am currently attending a 1689 confessional church that uses the New American Standard Bible 95 (NASB95) as their main teaching and pew Bible, yet I struggle with the text. I've been told its because I need to embrace the struggle and plow though it, but I find that the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) has been a breath of fresh air.
I grew up with the Holman Christian Standard...

A Refutation To The Charge That The Calvinistic View Of Predestination Is Pagan.
The idea brought forth by those who claim that we who hold to God's sovereignty in all things are similar to the Greek pagans is without warranted. As Ronald Nash states in his book The Gospel and the Greeks, these so called gods were limited by their own weakness both physical and moral. Not to...
