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....

Recommendations on Undergraduate Education?
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations for a good Bible College to look into. I am hoping to start school in Spring 2020, and have been for the last six months looked into different institutions. I've narrowed it down a bit to a few schools, but want to take into consideration some colleges which others here may recommend.
Basically, I'm looking for an esteemed school... -
LXX or MT ?
Caught this video on youtube and it makes some interesting claims. In another thread the LXX
versus the MT is being discussed. Not wishing to derail that thread I place this here. Anything to it ?

The King James Only Controversy (James White)
If you love the Textus Receptus for what it is, you should not have a problem with this book. James White acknowledges the value of the Textus Receptus and even the King James Version at times. What is problematic is the cult-like character of some King James Only advocates.
White begins with a survey of textual history and transmission. It’s one thing to say “God providentially preserved... -
Hart on Machen and Evolution
I’ve been a member of opc since 2013, and it’s about as far as I go back in my familiarity (and appreciation) with Machen. But I don’t think I agree with Hart on his final analysis regarding Machen, Warfield, Old Princeton and evolution.... I think these guys should have been right there on the front line in the Scopes trial fighting tooth and nail against evolution and its implications........ -
Small group retreats and Lord's Day corporate worship
I've posed this question to a couple men whose guidance I trust, but I thought it couldn't hurt to see if anyone here has some insights to offer as well.
I'm in the very early planning stages of trying to put together a small group retreat for a handful of couples (certainly no more than 20-25 people, if that; topic/theme TBD). Most would probably be members of my church, but a few others... -
Giving In Worship
My intent is not to start a debate on wether an offering “is” or “is not” an Element of worship, so please let’s not go there in this thread.
Let us assume that giving tithes in public worship “IS” an element.
In my congregation we pass the plate in both the morning and evening worship. Usually I place my family’s tithe in the plate every other Sunday (I am paid every 2 weeks) during the... -
Facing Death as Believers
Friends,
I'm not sure many of you know that our precious sister Anne (Cedarbay) has recently gone home to be with the Lord. She was such a good and kind friend to me, and prayed for me in my time of need. I was heartbroken that I didn't learn what was going on with her until just a few hours after she had passed away. She had come to... -
Spiritual-mindedness in an intellectual job
Seven years ago I had a manual job working on factory lines. Pay was just enough for a single guy living at home because it demanded unskilled labor. Though, with such repetitive tasks I was able to think on spiritual things almost without interruption and still do good work. Matthew Henry observed that David's work as a shepherd was a blessing because the work gaved him much time to think...

Twenty-nine Years

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...
