Good preaching uses thoughtful illustrations to clarify biblical truth, make doctrine memorable, engage diverse hearers, and follow Christ’s own teaching example.

God regards His saints’ deaths as precious, drawing near in love, completing His work, conquering death, and bringing them into closer communion with Himself in glory.

While never ignoring the details of the text, true gospel preaching must set forth the larger Biblical context of redemption in Christ, helping the hearers to respond to the gospel from the text with faith and obedience.

When unbelieving friends and family die, believers are right to grieve; yet, they have reason to be comforted in reflecting on God’s sovereignty, glory, and soul-satisfying salvation.

Though the church is often tempted to neglect evangelism and missions, Christ commands his disciples to bring the gospel to all nations, and the Scripture compels us to pray for Christ’s kingdom to fill the earth.

Bolyard argues for simplicity in new covenant worship based on Christ’s fulfillment of Old Testament ceremonies and his opening of the way for God’s people to participate directly in heavenly Zion worship.

In this careful study, Dr. Ben Dunson examines the claims of kinism (or “race realism”), probing the meaning of race and ethnicity, Scripture’s teaching on people groups, and the implications for marriage, the church, and the nation.

Many Christians feel that doubting salvation is an evidence of being humble. However, Spinnenweber explains how God is most pleased by humble faith in the finished work of Christ. 

Affliction is God's loving instrument to humble believers, expose pride, deepen holiness, strengthen faith, and draw us closer to Christ.

In this article, Ian Hamilton argues that the church's relevancy lies in faithfully preaching Christ, prioritizing prayer, and relying on God’s power rather than human methods or innovation.

In this article, David Barry discusses the importance of stewarding our time in devotion to God for His glory.

In this article, Ethan Bolyard explores the biblical and Reformed doctrine of infant salvation, arguing that God ordinarily saves the children of believers in their youth, even from infancy.

In this article, Ben Dunson argues that the PCA’s rejection of female deacon ordination, together with recent constitutional actions, effectively prohibits the use of titles such as “deaconess” and other forms of functional female officers.

In this article, Ben Dunson encourages Christians to set their minds on everything that is lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy because all such things are reflections of the God who made them.

Our King courageously faced His own death, conquered it in resurrection glory, and sent His Spirit into our hearts, so that we too may valiantly fight the good fight.

All Christians are to communicate the gospel in a way that is wise, gracious, and “seasoned with salt,” appropriate for each person. 

The role of women in the church is one of the defining pressure points facing the church today. Feminism has made deeper inroads into evangelicalism than many realize, intensifying pressure to conform to the spirit of the age. In this article, Ben Dunson addresses three key errors driving today’s confusion before offering a positive biblical vision for the service of women in the church.

A common objection to the work of foreign missions is that the church should not send their best and brightest to reach unbelievers around the world when they have so many needs at home. Yet, Chad Vegas points out that nothing is more impactful for the spiritual growth of the local church than seeing some of their own forsake their own lives to bring the gospel to the world. While some fear that sending gifted ministers, members, and financial resources overseas will impoverish local churches, Vegas contends that missionary work enlarges the church’s vision, deepens generosity, inspires future ministers, and renews zeal for the gospel both abroad and at home.

In this article, Ben Dunson argues that the office of deacon is biblically restricted to qualified men and that the modern case for “deaconesses” rests on linguistic and contextual errors. Focusing especially on Romans 16:1 and 1 Timothy 3:8–13, he contends that Phoebe is commended as a servant of the church, not as an ordained deacon, and that Paul’s references to “women” in 1 Timothy 3 refer to deacons’ wives rather than female officeholders. Dunson concludes that faithfulness to Scripture, Presbyterian polity, and ordination vows requires reserving biblical office titles for those properly ordained.

Christ’s precious blood not only sealed our pardon but also purchased our adoption as children of God. In one of the most sublime portions of the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Divines enumerated the heavenly privileges of our adoption. Chief among the privileges they included was the Father’s pity (WCF 12). God’s pity is not some condescending sympathy or the shallow, “bless-your-heart” of a merciless world. God’s pity is His tender compassion towards the children he cherishes.
