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

hi!
although i have been a member for nearly five years, this is my 1st post.
i was led to 'rediscover' this forum and this would seem one of the few places in cyberspace which will not either kick me out or force me to resign by virtue of me being a Christian - praise the Lord!
at least two prior forums forced me to remove my avatar, so i had to remove myself as it is my identity, for i can... -
Differences between Resolutioners and Protestors (Thomas McCrie the younger)
I found this observation on the differences between the two parties of Covenanters (Resolutioners and Protestors) by the younger Thomas McCrie to be decidedly odd. What do you make of it?
The differences in religious sentiment between the two parties thus formed within the church, though sufficiently marked in the pulpit, were of too ethereal a type to admit of being tested in the crucible of... -
Richard Hooker (W. Bradford Littlejohn)
Littlejohn, W. Bradford. Richard Hooker. Wipf & Stock.
I wish I had something like this in 2008 when I was wrestling with claims of “what is the true church?” The conservative Protestant publishing world had lost giants like Hooker and Chemnitz. Turretin had been recently translated and published, but he still stayed on the periphery.
Richard Hooker gives us a cosmopolitan vision... -
Reading and Meditating on Scripture
I read a quote some time ago that Spurgeon read the scriptures right through 4 times a year. I have been thinking of challenging myself to read the scriptures right through 2 times a year.
However, it seems to me the danger of reading large portions of scripture a day without meditating on it will bring little spiritual benefit. On the other hand it seems to me there is benefit in reading... -
I Corinthians 15:29 against cremation?
My question isn't in regards to the meaning of I Corinthians 15:29, it is obvious to me that Paul is talking about the washing or preparing of a dead believer body.
I am curious though if this preparing of the body should still be practiced by believers today as a show of faith that the person will rise again? If so, what are the implications of that against the practice of cremation?... -
Cowboy boot heel peeling off?
I just inherited a pair of cowboy boots. They have rubber soles/heels. The heel on one pair is beginning to peel away. Should I use gorilla glue or take it to a boot repair shop? -
Name For Daughter
We just found out today we are having a daughter. We are so excited as we have 2 boys already.
We both agreed on a name we really like: Mary Anna Klemmer. Any thoughts on why this would be a bad idea, or could we not go wrong with this choice? Just trying to think it through. Thanks! -

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...
