The Covenanters, Part 2: The Kirk of the State and Her Confession

If you were to travel to the Reformation Wall in Geneva, Switzerland, or to the Huguenot Memorial in Franschhoek, South Africa, you would likely happen across that famous Latin phrase, “Post Tenebras Lux.” Taken from the Latin Vulgate translation of Job 17:12, “After darkness, I hope for light,” thi

Daniel Gookin and the Praying Indians

When Waban, ruler of the Natick people, complained that no matter what they did, they could never please the English nor be considered their equals, Daniel Gookin could only reply, “Waban, you know all Indians are not good; some carry it rudely, some are drunkards, others steal, others lie and break

The Good Shepherd

Many people today do not understand the gospel. They live for their own kingdom, often wreaking havoc in their own lives, as well as in the lives of their family and friends. It’s likely that you are praying for friends and family members like this, asking the Lord to save them. As we pray, we shoul

What is Hell Not? Pt 2, Annihilationism

When thinking about eschatology (the study of last things), many assume that these doctrines are, at best, secondary issues, or, at worst, entirely indifferent beliefs that ought not carry much weight in the Christian life. And while some eschatological views can be categorized as indifferent or sec

The Covenanters, Part 1: Tracing the History of the Scottish Covenants

The Scottish Covenanters are not nearly as well remembered as they ought to be these days. If it wasn’t for the Scots, and the Covenanters in particular, there is good reason to believe that Western Civilization would look far, far different than it currently does. Their particular brand of Presbyte

What trials are bringing you grief right now? Perhaps you are experiencing acute or chronic pain, illness, cancer treatments, or a broken bone.

A Conviction Concerning the Word

Carl Trueman was speaking at a Banner of Truth Minister’s Conference in the last couple of years. In an offhanded (or what I took to be offhanded!), Trueman challenged ministers who might have a weak view of preaching to read Martin Luther’s commentaries on Genesis. There, in those commentaries, he

Catherine Sutton (Nahnee) – Defending the Rights of Native Americans

In 1860, an Ojibwe woman, Nahneebahweequay (or Nahnee), traveled from Canada to England to meet Queen Victoria. To the English, she was known by the baptismal name she had chosen: Catharine Brown Sunegoo (after Catharine Brown, a well-known Cherokee convert who had died at the age of twenty-three).E
