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....

Reformed Baptists and Seminary (or lack thereof).
Hello all,
One major shortcoming of Baptists due to our autonomy (as I see it) is to not have an education requirement for ordination. I am trying to compile a list of churches that have an ATS educated teaching pastor and also holds to the 1689. Similar to Founders, but with an education requirement. Has this been done before and I'm reinventing the wheel? I move every 3 years (USMC) and... -
Homosexuality, Public Confession and LC 139
Hello,
I hope I have the correct place to post this. I have been studying the growth of homosexuality in the American conservative churches for a bit and with the new revelation about pastor Johnson being gay, I thought it important to discuss public confessions of such sins intersecting with the nature of that particular sin.
My opinion (posted... -
Previous Social justice in the church?
Are there any resources, books, etc. that document the decline of mainline denominations? I recently heard some where that the same arguments that are being heard today at denominational gatherings, synods, etc. are the as those that where taking place 50+ years ago. I am not sure where to start since modern church history is elusive to me right now. -
Covenants properties
I understand this is a current issue but it's been cleared by the OPC. By my reading covenanetal properties are merely analogues. I think to argue with him starts with the incarnation. Christ did take on a new nature. So God could of takin on new properties in his interactions with creation. Any thoughts? -
Ligon Duncan, III at Puritan Graduation
Obviously I’m not there, but I am curious what folks think of this.
I know he is quite the authority, yet he has been caught up in what has shaped up to be the zeitgeist.
How is the man understood by his intentions and by reality? -
CT reports Revoice’s Greg Johnson is gay
https://www.christianitytoday.com/c...OgNi9BOnct8wMezAQ64wk3BMfHiknftbk3ybfjgFMnnxY
Is he a PCA pastor? Shouldn’t this be disclosed (before) ordination? This just seems so problematic on so many levels Can somebody struggling with these desires, and then accepting these desires not be... -
Help With Discerning a Blog Post
Would someone be willing to read a blog post and tell me what you think? I did not write it but I'm not sure how to discern it
My questions are:
Is this how we are supposed to relate to unbelievers?
What would you do if you were in this person's shoes?... -
Reymond on Trinity
This discussion is being moved.
Context, I wrote:
In the first [ST edition], [Reymond] rejected certain Nicene categories. He also interpreted Nicene language incorrectly, going so far as to posit that the Westminster Assembly might have (even, “much more likely”) rejected eternal generation and spiration in favor of Calvin, but I...

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...
