Living More as We Preach—Rosalind Goforth
It is useless to preach Christ yet not live Christ.
Repeatedly being confronted by our own shortcomings has a way of driving us to more urgent dependence upon the Lord. As we continue to look to and lean upon Him, by God’s grace (and to His glory) over time we come to experience a considerable degree of progress and consistency in living and serving as...

John Gerstner’s Edwardsian Shadow
Put your ear to the ground in the PCA’s Ascension Presbytery in Western Pennsylvania, and you’ll hear people talking about the life and influence of Dr. John Gerstner.
There is a sense in which we can say that men like Gerstner, and Edwards before him, “lost” their battles with Culture. Edwards’ fear that orthodox Calvinism would one day be overrun by Enlightenment theologizing came true. Gerstner’s fear that the mainline denomination would veer towards the cliff of subjective relativism was likewise realized. But... Continue Reading
Jan Laski – The Polish Reformer

He was also one of the translators of the first complete Polish translation of the Bible, known as... Continue Reading

Lessons from the Life of Matthew Henry
Like Matthew Henry, may we take time at the beginning of this new year to see our shortcomings.
So what of this man for us? Is he just another superhero of the faith who can never be emulated in today’s world? What encouragements can we receive as we begin another new year? Many years ago, I wandered into a Christian book store and laid my eyes on something wonderful – a half... Continue Reading
Ten Baptists Everyone Should Know: Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Spurgeon’s Christology is seen in his belief in the all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ and his work on the cross.
Spurgeon saw himself primarily as a pastor-evangelist. He had a strong foundation in the theology of the Puritans. He was a Calvinist, though not a high or hyper-Calvinist. He once confessed, “I have been charged with being a mere echo of the Puritans, but I had rather be the echo of truth than the voice... Continue Reading
