Here we see through a glass that is dark and cloudy, but there we will see face to face. There, what “eye has not seen nor ear heard” will be fully revealed to us. There, paradoxes will be unraveled, mysteries made clear, obscure texts enlightened, confusing and questionable verses will be revealed as being amazingly [...]

The United Nations climate change conference in Poland received a surprise from 650 leading scientists who laugh at the idea of man-made global warming. Many of these scientists have called it a lie, a hoax and part of a new religion. Around 250 former members of the U.N.’s own Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have [...]

“Jesus Christ has in the clearest manner inculcated those duties which are productive of the highest moral felicity and consistent with all the innocent enjoyments, to which we are impelled by the dictates of nature. Religion, when fairly considered in its genuine simplicity and uncorrupted state, is the source of endless rapture and delight.” (US [...]

You must watch this video. It is a stroke of genius. It sets forth the current banking crisis clearly. Watch it and you now know the nature of the problem. Gary North writes: “To say that we are in uncharted waters does not begin to get across the idea of the magnitude of our current [...]

From: The Desk of William Gurnall To a sinner, the light of truth is more blistering than a desert sun on mid-day (John 3:19). He shuns to walk where it is shining, and when exposed to it, will spare no expense to get relief. Satan is always at his elbow, ready to help him find [...]

Quoting Joel McDurmon: American founding father and Second President John Adams viewed atheism in culture, and especially in government, as something to fear. He wrote, “Is there a possibility, that the government of nations may fall into the hands of men, who teach the most disconsolate of all creeds, that men are but fire-flies, and [...]

“Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude and perseverance. Let us remember that ‘if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our [...]

From: The Desk of Nathan Busenitz . . . Numerical growth can take place for wrong reasons. For example, during Jesus’ ministry, much of the crowd that followed him was more interested in his miracles than in his message (John 6:26). In fact, the wrong measure of success can be outright deadly – lulling churches [...]

Quoting Gary Demar: The religious sanitation of history textbooks is beginning to pay off for atheists. “A group of atheists filed a lawsuit . . . seeking to remove part of a state anti-terrorism law that requires Kentucky’s Office of Homeland Security to acknowledge it can’t keep the state safe without God’s help.” These atheists [...]

Quoting R. C. Sproul: “Here, then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God’s Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a [...]

[T]he religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles… This is genuine Christianity and to this we owe our free constitutions of government. The moral principles and precepts found in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. (Revolutionary Soldier, Judge, Legislator, Educator)

From: The Desk of R. C. Sproul I began [a seminary class by reading this from] the Westminster Confession: “God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass.” I stopped reading at that point. I asked, “Is there anyone in [...]

Quoting John Piper: As everyone knows, our new President, over whom we have rejoiced, does not share this reverence for the beginning of human life. He is trapped and blinded by a culture of deceit. On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, he said, “We are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s [...]

Quoting Gary North: We want to believe that Dr. Gregory House and his team of physicians are out there somewhere to heal us if we are ever on our deathbeds. We also pray they are in our health insurance program’s approved HMO. House’s team never comes up with a solution, of course. The group is [...]

Quoting Robert Tracinski: “The 20th century experimented with every possible variant of socialism. We had democratic socialism in Western Europe, totalitarian socialism in Eastern Europe, and fascist socialism in South America. We had atheistic socialism and we had ‘liberation theology.’ We had the ‘scientific socialism’ of the Soviet central planners and the chaotic jungle socialism [...]

The bow of God’s wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one [...]

Do you think of God as if He were human? Are you worshiping a god of your imagination or the God of the Bible? Are you constantly renewing your mind by the study of the Scriptures? A. W. Pink writes: In one of his letters to Erasmus, Luther said, “Your thoughts of God are too [...]

What will be the effect of the horrors of Mumbai? Will secular progressives continue to desire the dismantling of the security systems put in place since the 9/11 terrorist attack? Is their desire to destroy anything the Bush Presidency accomplished causing them to overlook that the most important function of government is to protect its [...]

Quoting D. A. Carson: “People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith or delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; toward disobedience and call it freedom; toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the non-discipline of [...]

“The gospel is not a book; it is a living being, with an action, a power, which invades every thing that opposes its extension, behold! It is upon this table: This book, surpassing all others. I never omit to read it, and every day with some pleasure.”
