No Blessing Like Health — With the Exception of Sickness
WebFor Spurgeon the sovereignty of God was not first argument for debate, it was a means of survival. He was not joking when he quipped, “I dare say the greatest earthly blessing that God can give to any of us is health, with the exception of sickness. . . . Affliction is the best bit of furniture in my house. It is the best book in a minister's library.”

7 Biblical Principles for Saving and Investing Your Money
WebHere are seven biblical principles that may help. 1. Saving for Future Needs Is Biblical. Some Christians don’t save for retirement because they believe it’s disobedient (usually quoting Matt. 6:19–20 ), or they feel guilty about putting money away when others are in such great need. Others believe it isn’t necessary because God will
Things Christians Struggle With, Part 4: Health
WebNo disrespect to doctors, but sometimes people heave health issues that will not be solved by prescription pills. Sometimes, people have to seek alternative methods to determine and then cure what ails them (and yes, great care and discernment are needed here), which is what we eventually did. And sometimes, the Lord in His mysterious providences brings …
Loving Our Vulnerable Neighbour: When Church Courts Fail and …
WebThe latter phrase is a quote from Ps 94:21a. This psalm calls upon God to judge the injustice of those who ‘slay the widow and the foreigner’ and ‘murder the orphan’ (94:6) and who ‘condemn the innocent to death’ (94:21b). Chandler’s thesis is that, first, for those living in New Testament times, loving one’s neighbour was
New York City Council passes gag law on pro life pregnancy centers
WebA bill designed to gag pro-life pregnancy resource centers passed the New York City Council Wednesday afternoon in a 39-9-1 vote. Int.

A Spirit of Hopefulness on Long Island
WebAs of now, well over 1000 homes on Long Island alone have been determined to be uninhabitable. On the southern part of Staten Island hundreds of people are homeless. Hoboken, NJ – a densely populated city which is just across the Hudson River from Greenwich Village in Manhattan – was devastated. Over 1000 people there (most of …
The PCA: A Healthcare Microcosm
WebIf you had asked PCA ministers, ruling elders, and churches if they would like for every minister and minister’s family to have health insurance, the majority would have answered, “Yes, of course.” If you had asked them if it were a brotherly duty to see that all were provided health insurance, I expect the same majority would have given an ambivalent …
A Way Forward for PCA Peace, Health, and Unity
WebThis pastor remains far more concerned that the peace of our church will be wounded by unwitting defenses and advocacies, which employ legislative fiat, in thesi deliverances, or manipulating things such that voting among the grassroots presbyteries is strictly avoided. That may be the way to win a demagogic vote, but it’s a surefire way to …
Diagnosing the Health of the Church by Biblical Standards
WebI am convinced that many of the folks who have a problem with Vision Planning (even the Biblical model) – and those folks include some very good friends of mine) stem from the same problem folks have who want to do ‘annual performance reviews’ on their pastor/ordained staff. I think it stems from the lack of understanding of the ‘Two Office …
Why Do We Need Community
WebGod is a community of three persons and invites us into His divine community to enjoy friendship and fellowship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ (John 14:1–6, 15–18, 23–24).No amount of marriage, family, church, or friendships will substitute for the fundamental loneliness we will experience if we try to live apart from God.
This Church’s Legal Battle Against New York City Shows What Real
WebWhat’s happening in New York City shows why we need religious-liberty legislation, like Indiana’s.

Physical Interventions on the Bodies of Children to “Affirm” their
WebWe argue that “gender affirmation” procedures violate sound medical ethics, that it is profoundly unethical to reinforce a male child in his belief that he is not a boy (or a female child in her belief that she is not a girl), and that it is particularly unethical to intervene in the normal physical development of a child to “affirm” a “gender identity” that is at odds with …
“Got Insurance
WebThere is already enough wrong with ObamaCare. But for those who do support it, they do not need to do so at the expense of selling short the potential of so many young people. Young people are so much more than partying, getting drunk and engaging in casual sex without any other cares in the world. They are above being defined and controlled by …
Can Sickness Be Better Than Health
WebI wondered why God wouldn’t respond to my earnest pleas, suspicious that he had cursed me, rather than blessed me. My sole focus was getting relief, so I was puzzled by verses like these: “Count it all joy my brothers when you meet with trials of various kinds” and “It was good for me that I was afflicted that I might learn your statutes” …
Why C.S. Lewis Was Wrong on Marriage (and J.R.R. Tolkien Was …
WebThe distinction ought to be quite sharp, so that a man knows which couples are married in a Christian sense and which are not. This argument provoked a strong response from Lewis’ friend and fellow Inkling, J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien drafted a response to Lewis sometime in 1943 but never sent it. After Tolkien died, the letter was found folded
