The prophet Zechariah predicted that when the shepherd was struck, the sheep would be scattered (Zech. 13:7). And the gospel writers record that this was in fact fulfilled when Jesus was arrested, tried, and killed. His disciples scattered (Matt. 26:31; Mark 14: 27).

But there was more to it. When...

Is this what Tim Keller and the redeemers of culture had in mind?

Grand Rapids, Michigan, was one of the first cities to go in for the complete redevelopment of its downtown area using Title III money from the 1949 Housing Act as amended in 1954. In 1959, Grand Rapids invited to town John Paul...

Proverbs for the Writer by...

Answers in Genesis writer and speaker Bodie Hodge was recently interview by Todd Piro from FOX & Friends (on the FOX News channel) down at the Ark Encounter. The resulting 3-minute video on the life-size Ark attraction was phenomenal. Bodie not only explained this world-class attraction but...

Roundup of articles from around the internet

1. A new issue of Credo Magazine: The Impassability of God  https://credomag.com/magazine_issue/t...

Introduction:

The presence of the Lord Jesus, alive just as He had promised He would be, transforms everything. We can see this very clearly in the fall and restoration of the apostle Peter after the resurrection. The account of Christ’s care for Peter is given to us so that we might...

Have you ever been ridiculed or despised for your faith? Sadly, this is all too common in today’s culture, where the mark of sophistication is to question not only the truths of Scripture but the existence of truth at all. In this hostile environment, it’s essential for you to clearly...

I was very excited to see a recent debate by Christian philosopher William Lane Craig against atheist astronomer Jeff Hester. When I summarize a debate, I do a fair, objective summary if the atheist is intelligent and informed, as with...

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are the foundation of the Christian faith. Christianity stands or falls on these two great historical realities. So it’s understandable, perhaps, that what happened in between the climactic events of the cross and the resurrection should be somewhat...

Justin Dillehay:

When I was a church teen in the 1990s, one of hottest new Christian bands was Third Day. The name seemed like a riff on the mainstream band Third Eye Blind, but we all know where it really came from. According to Paul’s gospel, Christ was “raised on the third day in...

 In the history of Reformed churches, the Lord’s Day practice has been to gather for corporate worship twice, usually morning and evening.  True, there is no command in Scripture to worship twice on the Lord’s Day.  However, I would say that a person needs a good biblical...

Yesterday was Good Friday, and on Good Friday we commemorated a very specific murder—perhaps the most significant murder in human history. We remembered that Jesus was murdered on a cross.

In this post, I want to answer a question. Who is responsible for the murder of Jesus?

Now, at the...

On this Good Friday episode, tornadoes in Mississippi set the backdrop for Rich and Chris’ conversation on the issue of personal responsibility.

The post “It’s Not My Fault!” appeared first on Slave to the King.

Abner Chou is a professor at the Master’s Seminary.  He recently delivered his William R. Rice Lecture Series for Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary this Spring 2019.

This would be timely in light of yesterday being Good Friday and tomorrow being Resurrection Sunday.

Here are the three...

Bondage to Individual Leaders

The question about the cessation or continuation of special revelation has very practical ramifications for the Christian life, for God’s special revelation carries great authority. When people ascribe that...

3 Suggestions for Dealing with Frustrating Cultural Differences

I find culture endlessly fascinating. “Maybe you are preparing for a short-term trip or long-term service to a place...

The Song of Solomon is not a book that we usually associate with doctrine. It normally strikes us as a book that appeals to the emotions more than the mind. There is no other song  that gladdens the heart of the christian like this one; yet there is one doctrine which is displayed throughout...

The next day, on the Sabbath, the leading priests and Pharisees went to see Pilate.

They told him, “Sir, we remember what thatdeceiver once said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise from the dead.’ So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day....

Are you looking for a day of adventure, exploring nature while searching for creatures buried during the global flood of Noah’s day? If this fossil hunt sounds like it’s for you, I encourage you to register today for our 2019 Fossil Hunt on June 1 with geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling,...

I know the 2018–2019 school year isn’t over yet, so you probably don’t want to start thinking about the next school year! However, we think you’ll be excited about our recently upgraded resources that you can use now or next school year: online creation apologetics courses....

Many people have tended to pit God’s attributes against one another. Perhaps you’ve heard someone claim that the Old and New Testaments are describing different gods: one of justice and one of mercy. But God is not made up of competing qualities. He is both just and merciful.

In today&rsq...

The ESV Study Bible contains some helpful notes on what we know about Golgotha and the tomb of Jesus.

For many centuries, Christians have worshiped at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the belief that this was the place where Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead.

This view was...

There is something parable-like in the destruction of Notre Dame Cathedral. Its architectural splendour has graced the Parisian skyline for nearly a millennia. Its soaring artistry and elegance has taken the breath away of thousands of worshippers, citizens and tourists. Its history anchored it to...

Caroline Cobb and Sean Carter provide a great example of biblical theology through song, from the album The Blood + the Breath: Songs That Tell the Story of Redemption:

There’s a promise in our veins But it’s faded by all these years in chains Send a prophet, send the plagues That...

With this week being the annual celebration of Christ’s death and resurrection, it seems appropriate for us to focus this episode on one of the greatest statements in the New Testament:

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said,...

It was on this day, April 20th, in 1880 that the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield, at the age of twenty-nine, was inaugurated as Professor of New Testament Exegesis and Literature at the Western Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We take as the text of our post today the...
