The work inaugurated by Jesus aims at nothing less than a supernatural renewal of the world, whereby all evil will be overcome, a renewal of the physical as well of the spiritual world. Because in reality it would now appear that the two lay far apart in point of time, it was all

Mission is “the mother of theology.” In mutuality and comradeship, theology and mission say together, “The mission of God is our concern; the global mission of the church is our life.” Harvie Conn

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight" ~ John 18:36a The Kingdom of God does impact this world, but the methods employed for advancement are vastly different from the ways of the world Don't fall for cheap counterfeit methodology!

At an RTS NYC Convocation, the late Tim Keller—a dear friend and member of the RTS community — challenges the popular saying, "Preach the gospel, use words when necessary." While actions matter, the gospel is meant to be lived and proclaimed. As Romans 10:14 asks, "How can they

If the biblical story does not control our thinking, then we will be swept into the story that the world tells about itself.

I'm thankful for Carl Trueman's insights here. Very few evangelicals are aware of how weak virtue ethics are in the evangelical world. Protestants Need Virtue Ethics

It is no profound insight to note that one of the great challenges of our time is how to respond to the speed of technological change. This bites hardest...

Have you embraced God as an idea explained in a confession or creed? Or have you experienced the living God to whom orthodox confessions and creeds point but cannot explain? This is a question I ask myself.

Thank you @VivekGRamaswamy. Yes! This is one of the few major issues that is completely bipartisan. Red states and blue states are getting phones out of schools. Let's do this, together.
Get the cell phones out of the schools.

The current actions of DOGE wrt to USAID are NOT consistent w/ the principles in the book “When Helping Hurts.” DOGE’s approach is causing unnecessary suffering for some of the poorest people on the planet, which is simply unconscionable. @carriesheffield @marcorubio
.@POTUS Trump + @MarcoRubio ended 83% of USAID programs because--like U.S. welfare--foreign aid often harms more than helps. It fuels corruption, keeps nations dependent, and spreads woke ideology. Private investment is better solution to poverty. Read 🔗: https://t.co/uuwLFzhmOa

Glad to see this statement of support for our Coordinator, our affinity ministries, and how they serve our whole church in the ministry of reconciliation. However, apologies with a repentant spirit are still in order to our MNA Coordinator and the leaders of these ministries.
MNA has recently received media attention on several issues, including our National Coordinator’s participation at an affinity ministry event hosted at a PCA church. After extensive prayer and discussion, we want to communicate the following to our church. https://t.co/lvKgJBqY3W

Wow. Just wow.
NEW Post | If any church, “from any cause whatsoever,” cannot say, “with a large and full significance, ‘The poor have the gospel preached unto them,’” it will have lost the evidence necessary to show that it is a true church.
