Today is a day of much individualistic thinking within the contemporary church. How do Christians committed to thinking covenantly respond to the current scene? Now is not the first time this question has been asked.

Calvin’s words, “Time exists to show Christ’s glory,” on the title page provides the focus for this small book. Noted Reformation historian J. H. Merle D’Aubigne gave the address reproduced in these pages on the three hundredth anniversary of Calvin’s death. On that day, May 27, 1864, the crowd gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, heard the speaker focus not so much on Calvin, as on Calvin’s joy – the Lord Jesus Christ. (more) |

Sinners marry sinners. In a fallen world this is the only possibility because all mankind are born sinners and sin manifold times. This basic fact is easily forgotten in the midst of marriage problems. We find it much easier to point the finger at our spouses’ sin than to admit our own. It is much easier to give blame than to take blame for our part in the problem. (more) |

We can hardly imagine life in the Garden of Eden prior to Adam’s sin. God had provided for all of man’s needs – even given him a wife. The trees of the Garden were Adam’s to use for God’s glory. Adam was even to use the forbidden tree, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for God’s glory by avoiding its fruit. (more) |

God made man a very complex being. This is true not only with the intricate working of the human body, it is also true of man’s thought processes and beliefs. Pryor brings this fact into the forefront as she examines the life of Robert E. Lee through the lens of letters authored by and received by him. (more) |
With the sin remaining within us, we Christians can still make a mess of seeking to obey God. I recently wrote an article regarding the responsibility of Christians to take the Gospel into all the world and to expect ultimate success of the spread of the Gospel prior to Christ’s coming.
Sadly, in seeking to carry out this command we want to do it our way. We get matters confused. (more) |
