When you get a chance, listen to Carl Trueman's excellent messages from the Mid-South Men's Rally at First Presbyterian Jackson . Also, our own Aimee Byrd's new book No Little Women has received high praise from Tim Challies. You can read his review HERE ...

It sounds obvious I’m sure to say that your pastor sins. The Scriptures demand such recognition after all. And certainly experience confirms that no pastor has escaped the curse of original sin. Yet I wonder if we have become intermittent Pelagians expecting that original sin ought to skip...

Phillip Jensen has written a powerful reflection on the appalling ugliness of death and the hope of the life to come. The essay was written in light of the death of Jensen's 16-year-old grandson Nathan. We expect old people to die – it is the way of the world. Yet, when it happens, and...

The following is a guest post from Dr. Mark Jones concerning John 6:38 and those who use it to advance the notion of eternal relations of submission and authority within the Godhead. “For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.”...

One of the unfortunate features of the current Trinity debate is the moaning over “tone.” Such a complaint fails in at least two ways. First it fails in not affording proper weight to the content of the debate. In generations past men were willing to be exiled and physically mangled for...

The annual Southern California Reformed Baptist Pastor's Conference was recently held in La Mirada, CA. Stefan Lindblad was the keynote speaker. You can listen to all the sessions HERE . I want to especially highlight sessions 3 and 7. Session 3: “The Knowledge and Will of God: One or...
