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....

Hello from Heidelberg, Germany
Hi guys,
my name is Damian, I am 27 years old and I visit a Calvary Chapel in Heidelberg. I hold to the 1689 London Baptist Confession. Since there is no Reformed Baptist Church in Heidelberg, I visit the most biblical church in the Heidelberg area.
I love reading the Puritans and about church history. The biggest influence on me is Martyn Lloyd-Jones. I study Latin and History at the... -
Purity culture
Bit of a rant but I hope this is understandable. I’d like to hear a critique that actually gives a Biblical correction and doesn’t just attack without giving an alternative. In my experience many critiques are not just of “purity culture” but of purity itself, and distill down to minimizing fornication and saying “if you’ve got it flaunt it.” (An exaggeration perhaps, maybe I’m reading... -
Some of the most sobering words that I have read.
For the last few months, I have been newly typesetting and editing some of Brownlow North's works. Quite frequently, while working on them, I've had to stop to take it all in and then offer up prayers. The portion below is one of those instances.

Have Christians committed atrocities throughout the world?
Came across an article this morning:
https://disrn.com/news/nigerian-christian-executed-by-islamic-state-child-soldier
A brother in Christ was executed by Islamic extremists. Before being executed the murderer said something that stuck out to me.
From the article:
"This is one of the Christians from Plateau state," the boy said in Hausa, the major language in Northern Nigeria.... -
Business Card Size Gospel Tract Ideas
Greetings beloved of the Lord,
I'm not sure if Defending the Faith is the best category for this, but I do want to defend the faith and share the gospel with those I come in contact with. I have said this before and it is true that when I am in public I talk to nearly everybody I come in contact with hoping that the conversation will lead to the gospel. And sometimes it does. It... -
Crossway Approves Catholic Edition of the ESV
Well, this is troubling. Apparently, Crossway has approved letting Catholic bishops make changes to their translation for use by Catholics.
According to Catholic Bible... -
Greek Text at PRTS
Greetings. This question is for pastors or other seminarians who hold to the TR. I know the Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary is run by men who hold to confessional bibliology and use the TR, and this school is where I desire primarily to go for school. This issue is important to choosing a school in my opinion.
What text of Greek NT do they use at PRTS?
Is there any other accredited... -
Practical benefits of the Baptism ceremony
I'll preface by stating as a self-identified reformed Baptist attending an OPC, the various comments and condemnations I hear regarding my disagreement with infant baptism do not go unheeded. I have had great conviction over whether I am neglecting my children by not accepting infant baptism for them and spent quite some time wrestling with this subject.
Setting aside covenant theology...

Twenty-nine Years
This article originally appeared on my blog (Here). “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord…their works follow them” (Revelation 14:13) David Brainerd (1718-1747) was an 18th century American missionary to the native American Indians of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Robert Murray...

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...
