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....
The Puritan Board

I'm new here!
Isolated in the middle of Wyoming, I've been hanging out in face book for Christian company, and someone suggested I try the Puritan Board. I've signed up, but still unsure how to navigate. Anyway, Happy Lord's Day to ya'll! -
Christian Sabbath?
I am not anti-sabbath, but I have been pondering the term "Christian sabbath". I don't know if this has been addressed previously, but is this a correct term since God's moral law is binding on all men?
I'd appreciate what others think of this. -
Segment on Images of Christ not making the Spirit & Truth movie cut
A shame it doesn't fit the outline as the director envisions. It's a good clip on why the Reformed reject artistic portraying of Christ in any medium

Retirement - a western invention but how do we use it?
I am currently "between jobs" as they put it. Getting on a little I was undergoing training as a volunteer minibus driver and one young fellow asked if I was retired.

1689 Federalism, differences in substance and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
Greetings from the UK in the name of the Lord Jesus!
This is a question for fellow 1689ers really but feel free to contribute anyway...

Robert S. Rayburn Retires
Per an article on The Aquila Report, Robert S. Rayburn is retiring from Faith Presbyterian Church in Tacoma, Washington, which he's pastored since 1978.

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...
