Calvinist, a soon-to-be released documentary by Les Lanphere is about a new generation discovering the rich theology brought to us by the Reformation.
Christ’s Supreme Achievement on the Cross
“In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loves us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins,” (1 John 4:10, ESV).
Video: What We Celebrate At Christmas
Reformed theologian Dr. R.C. Sproul reminds us that what we really celebrate at Christmas is the incarnation of God Himself.
What Does Voting Your Conscience Mean?
Shane Vander Hart: Christians should pray, dig into God’s word and vote their conscience and encourage their brothers & sisters in Christ to do the same.
R.C. Sproul: Covered With Christ’s Righteousness
From R.C. Sproul at Ligonier Ministries: The church is our mother, but it is Christ’s bride. In this role, we are the objects of Christ’s affection. We, corporately, are His beloved. Stained and wrinkled, in ourselves we are anything but holy. When we say that the church is holy or refer to her as “holy […]
A Prayer for Our Nation
Since today is National Day of Prayer, I wanted to share this prayer that R.C. Sproul gave interceding for our nation: Our Father and our God, indeed You are our God, and Your sovereignty extends over all things. That as God, Your relevance and Your dominion can never be restricted merely to the realm of […]
Latte Links (5/1/10)
Miscellany for the weekend. Talk of Lt. Governor running mates in Iowa’s Gubernatorial race is premature, but still fun. I am not Reformed, I am an evangelical Calvinist. The Church, A Hidden Glory From the Hoover Institution – Peter Robinson talks with Mark Steyn – The End of the World as we know it – […]
The Most Obscene Mass of Concentrated Sin
Tim Challies shared a passage from R.C. Sproul’s book, The Truth of the Cross. Sproul poignantly points out what Christ’s work on the cross accomplished. Some liberal theologians have determined the penal substitionary view of the Atonement to be a form of “divine child abuse.” I see it as the greatest demonstration of God’s love. […]

On Seeker-Sensitive Churches
Evangelicals Anonymous had a short video that dovetails well with an earlier post from today. It is a panel discussion with Dr. R.C. Sproul of Ligioner Ministries, Dr. Albert Mohler of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Dr. Ravi Zacharias of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. The topic of discussion: “your thoughts on the seeker-sensitive church.” […]
The Curse Motif of the Atonement
This is part of a sermon that R.C. Sproul shared at Together for the Gospel in 2008 on “The Curse Motif of the Atonement.” “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree,” (Galatians 3:13, ESV). For […]
Twenty Items of Interest (v.44)
1. Just wondering if other states are doing this, but Alaska is looking to divest Alaskan money in Sudan in response to Darfur. All states should look at taking stands against genocide similar to this (if they haven’t already). (HT: Conservatives for Palin). 2. R.C. Sproul of Ligonier Ministries writes “Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal” – […]
Twenty Items of Interest (v. 13)
Well to make up for missing last week, I’m posting a second Twenty Items. 1. Minnesota has a publicly-funded Islamic school. Katherine Kersten of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune reports: TIZA has many characteristics that suggest a religious school. It shares the headquarters building of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, whose mission is “establishing […]
Christ Alone
An objection that I hear often from those who are outside the faith is “you are being intolerant when you claim that Jesus Christ is the only way to God R.C. Sproul in his book Reasons to Believe said something very insightful. Moses could meditate on the law; Muhammad could brandish a sword; Buddha could […]
