Yorke Hinds | June 29, 2016
Four hundred and fifty two years ago, on May 2, 1564, John Calvin, on the brink of death, wrote his last letter. It began: “Farewell, my best and most worthy brother. Since God has determined that you should survive me in this world, live mindful of our union, which has been so useful to the […]
London Burning
Ian Rush | June 28, 2016
During my early school years, a centuries old children’s nursery rhyme still remained popular among the children of my English school playground. London’s burning, London’s burning; Fetch the engines, fetch the engines; Fire, fire! Fire, fire! Pour on water, pour on water.

The Recent Trinitarian Debate
Michael Riccardi | June 16, 2016
Here is my attempt at a very brief summary of the current debate/discussion surrounding the eternal functional subordination (EFS) of the Son to the Father 1. We all know the incarnate Son submits to the Father, but is His submission something that extends to His eternal role/relationship as Son? Is the Son subordinate to the […]
A Portrait of Faithful Ministry
Eric Dodson | June 3, 2016
Paul’s epistle to the Romans is widely celebrated for its detailed treatment of gospel truth and exhortation to transformed biblical living.
