Mary Honywood and Her Flickering, Unquenchable Faith
Mary was one of the many gentlewomen of her time who supported Protestant preachers during the troubled reign of Mary Tudor.
On July 1, during the scheduled execution of preacher John Bradford (1510–1555) and apprentice John Leaf in the district of Smithfield, the authorities delayed the proceedings for five hours, hoping the massive crowd would disperse. This didn’t happen. In fact, the attendants were so many and so eager to find a good spot that Mary... Continue Reading
Solitude Improved
Ranew goes on to provide a general overview of meditation, highlighting key Scripture passages and employing a series of analogies
Pious meditation is the duty of every Christian; or, It is the high institution of Christ, and greatly incumbent duty of Christians, to exercise themselves much in holy meditation. A rare and soul-enriching way; none know the sweetness and blessings of it, but such as exercise themselves in it. Nathanael Ranew died in 1677,... Continue Reading
Pete Buttigieg puts his faith in abortion.
In his stump speech, Buttigieg describes abortion as “reproductive healthcare” and refers to legal abortion as a crucial “freedom.”
Buttigieg doesn’t speak like someone who believes abortion is even bad, let alone a necessary evil. No national Democrat can believe such a thing; that would entail believing that Planned Parenthood, which performs hundreds of thousands of abortions per year and also spends tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats, is engaged in evil....

Edith Cavell: A Brave Guide
At a time in history when examples of godly women are few and far between, much needed strength and encouragement can be drawn from the life of this lady who put all her trust in Jesus Christ, her Savior.
Throughout the fifty years of Edith Cavell’s life, she was content to work hard and live humbly. She was a godly woman and, therefore, a godly historical example. The Bible instructs us to teach our children about such historical examples. Psalm 78:4 reads: “We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming... Continue Reading
B. B. Warfield – Not a Solitary Theologian
While it’s true that Warfield spent much time at home and in his study, he was deeply invested in the lives of those around him: students, family, and friends.
In 1873, Warfield entered Princeton Theological Seminary, studying under Charles Hodge and his son Caspar Wistar Hodge. Two years later, he was licensed to preach. A sermon he gave on Romans 3:4 in Dayton, Ohio, left such an impression on his hearers (including a local reporter, who reprinted it) that he was extended a call to pastor... Continue Reading
PCA Minister, Phillip Sealy, Called Home to Glory

He lived well. He loved well. He did justice. He loved kindness. He walked humbly with His God. He fought the good fight. He finished the race. He kept the faith. That faith is now sight … flawlessly focused sight! His passion was being a pastor … not just a preacher. For him living honestly... Continue Reading

In his abbreviated lifetime Bliss wrote the words and/or music for over 300 sacred songs.
Bliss wrote in his journal: “Now I am full persuaded that God calls me to give my time and energies to writing and singing the Good News. I am constrained by what Christ is and has been to me, to offer all my powers directly to His sweet service. Major Whittle goes with me to... Continue Reading

Frank graduated from the University of London, was ordained in 1917, and served as curate in Liverpool and Preston.
