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...

Hospitality Today
This conversation was happening in another thread, but it wasn't relevant to the OP, so I thought I would bring it over here.
How should Christians be hospitable to strangers? It seems that throughout the Bible we see examples of and commands to house strangers.
Should we agree to let anyone into our house, or should we be concerned about the safety of our families? -
Westminister SC
I am currently reading through the WSC, or actually an exposition of it by John Flavel, out of volume 6 of his Works. Having a Baptist background, the catechisms are all new to me. I am REALLY enjoying the WSC, and especially Flavel's commentary on each question.
What other commentaries on the WSC (or the Larger), would you recommend? Next, I am going to Watson's Body of... -
Being out of town on the Lord's Day
I am wondering what you all do for meals when you are staying out of town on a Sunday, and there are no Chriatian brethren to take you in for meals?
Context: we are going out of town for a memorial service in a couple of weeks and will be staying in a hotel. Any advice/insight as to how we should approach eating without breaking the Sabbath? -
Paul Washer mentions 20 percent of conservative reformed congregants saved
I really appreciate Paul Washer. I think he does a good job of establishing a dividing line between the convicted sinner and the almost saved.... He's made me reevaluate everything.
Have I been just merely inconsistent and unproductive in my walk and devotion? or merely fooling myself? These are the things I've been asking myself. But the real answer might be that I'm asking the wrong... -
Daughter rolling eyes and complaining
Hello,
Since I have been sick I have been deficient in instructing the kids. I have noticed over the past weeks that my 11-year old daughter now sometimes rolls her eyes, answers back with a response instead of a simple yes, dad, and often complains or has a pouty face.
Without being unduly harsh with her (maybe that is needed?) how do I break these habits? Have any of you all struggled with... -
Missional Wear
Being new to this forum, I thought I would share something that I don't think has been shared before. That is Missional Wear (missionalwear.com), a website dedicated to selling Reformed theology apparel and other gifts. The designs are really well done...stuff you might actually want to wear! Anyone here ever bought stuff from this website?... -

Apologetics Refuting The Atheist Claim That Jesus Was A Resurrected Zombie
It has been quite common on various atheist websites that seek to refute Christianity to use the argument that when Jesus was resurrected from the dead it was no different than what we see in modern zombie movies. The zombies come back to life and start attacking people and eating them, and...

Apologetics Critique Of Deism
Deism is defined as the belief that reason and and the Natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of God. Deists believe God is not knowable and untouchable. God is seen as the first cause of all creation, but he is not interactive within creation. Here is an analogy, think of God...
