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...

Standing during the Service (no pews/chairs)
I'm aware that it was historically the practice of the church that the congregation (those who were able) would stand during the worship service. Obviously, the vast majority of our churches have shifted away from this practice, but I was wondering if there were still any Reformed churches in which this is still standard practice.
As someone who is going to plant a church next year, would it... -
Scriptural Support for Cosmic Treason
Hello All,
I was reading up on the concept of Cosmic Treason and eternal punishment. It stems from the claims from non-believers stating that God is unjust for punishing sin eternally when the sins were in a finite amount of time. I am looking for scriptural support on the following statements by R.C. Sproul below. I realize they minimize the seriousness of their sin but am looking for... -
Wise counsel needed.
Here are two scenarios: a brother in Christ is living in a home with an unbeliever (she professes Christ, however), they have a 4 year old son together. They are unmarried. Should he leave? Yes they are fornicating but he desires to be holy and to pursue marriage with her- we (elders) have advised him not to bc they are unequally yoked. Should he stay in the home with her and pursue marriage... -
Albert N. Martin's New Book
It's Pastoral Theology: Volume 1: The Man of God: His Calling and Godly Life. This is the first volume of what is to be a three-volume hardback set totaling approximately 2,000 pages, distributed through Reformation Heritage Books, dedicated to, presumably, the ins-and-outs of pastoral ministry - and Martin's magnum opus.
Has anyone seen this or read it yet? What do you think? -
Stumbling Block to Becoming Reformed - Perseverance
I've spent the last two months searching for all available books on the Perseverance of the Saints. I've found that every single historical work on the matter, that I could find, teaches that the regenerate can never lose faith. I will explain why this is a stumbling block for me if I wished to accept Reformed theology.
Four years ago, I trusted in the imputed... -
KJV study bible?
Does anyone know if Ligonier will produce the KJV of their study bible?
If so, when?
If not, are there any reformed study bibles outside of Joel Beekes that are KJV?
I use to be an ESV reader, but switched the KJV about two years ago and not really looked back.
Not a KJV only guy, just a KJV prefer guy. -

Thank you,

Being a Christian is Hard Work
Most of you are younger than I, and hopefully much wiser than I have been for most of my 45 years as a believer. So I want to share a few thoughts on the Christian's struggle.
I have discovered, albeit later in my life, both in experience and in the Scriptures that being useful Christian is hard workâthe most laborious work you will ever do. I have also found that the work is more...

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...
