The church's central message should be the gospel, and its worship should be centered on Christ's work and the Trinity. A church's corporate worship should reflect a gospel-centered logic, with God's service coming first and the emphasis on His activity, not human activity. The doctrine of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, and Christ alone should be central in the church's confession and ongoing educational teaching. [... more]

In corporate worship, the primary emphasis should be on God's service and actions towards us, not our actions and service towards Him. A covenant renewal ceremony involves God's gracious acts of service to needy sinners, where He remembers His covenant and we respond with confession and praise. The liturgy of the church should be shaped by the gospel logic and trajectory given to us in Scripture, with a focus on Christ's atoning sacrifice for sin and the covenant of grace. [... more]

The doctrine of perseverance is often misunderstood as a covenant of works, where one must perform to achieve final salvation. However, the Bible teaches that we live under a covenant of grace, where Christ's performance is the basis for our salvation. This understanding frees us to live in assurance and perseverance, not based on our performance, but on Christ's perfect work for us. [... more]

The push for mass amnesty is a red line for many conservatives, with some arguing it would destroy the Democrat Party and ruin their chances of winning Hispanic votes.

Renewing Your Mind
R.C. Sproul
July 06, 2025
The Christian life is about living before the face of God, under His sovereignty, and to His glory. It involves obeying the truth through the Spirit, which brings purification of the soul and manifests in obedience. This obedience is not a vicious circle, but a glorious one where obedience feeds purification and vice versa. The purification of the soul comes through obeying the truth, which is not just about hearing or reciting the truth, but about obeying it. The Holy Spirit is the one who enables us to obey the truth, and it's through Him that we experience regeneration and rebirth, allowing us to love one another fervently with a pure heart. [... more]

The gospel is at the heart of the church, creating, maturing, and transforming it through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Justification by grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone is central to the gospel, and its clarity and purity can easily be lost in the church.

The Obergefell decision has had a profound impact on children's rights, leading to a cultural shift in how we view marriage, family, and parenthood. The Christian worldview emphasizes the importance of protecting children and promoting a traditional understanding of marriage. However, the redefinition of marriage has led to a decline in child protection and a rise in identity issues among children raised by same-sex parents. A coalition of Christian leaders and child defenders is working to push back against the Obergefell decision and promote a child-centric approach to marriage and family. [... more]

The ground's curse due to sin affects our thought processes, making it challenging to think clearly. This is especially true for caregivers dealing with high-stress situations, where their thinking is already encumbered by sin. Scripture advises not to trust our own thoughts but to trust God's, and that wisdom and intelligence can be vastly different. The renewal of the mind through spiritual guidance can help solve the problem of faulty thinking. [... more]

The Bible teaches that God demands perfect righteousness, but we are not perfectly righteous. The reformers gave a threefold answer to this dilemma: salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone. This means that our works are not instrumental in salvation, but rather faith is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Christ's perfect obedience to God's law and his death on the cross have satisfied the penalty of God's law, making us righteous in God's sight. [... more]

Righteous prayer focuses on the praise of the Father, acknowledging his kingdom, power, and glory, and recognizing our dependence on him for all things. The Lord's Prayer concludes with a doxology, a form of words that offers praise to God for his glory, especially his work of creation and redemption. This doxology is a threefold ascription of praise to the Father, recalling and building upon the second petition where we pray for the kingdom to come. It acknowledges the Father's kingdom has come and is coming in the person and work of Jesus Christ, and that the Father rightfully and truly possesses his kingdom, and will possess his royal divine rule forever and ever.

He instructs us to invoke our Father in heaven, the great King, to deliver us in a time of crisis, and to trust in His power to keep us from sin and evil. This final petition in the Lord's Prayer is a cry for help, a cry for deliverance, and a reminder that we are continually exposed to internal and external temptations. Jesus' obedience in the wilderness, where He resisted Satan's temptations, is the basis for our deliverance, and we can confidently call on our Father for deliverance on the basis of our justification through faith in Christ.

The Lord's Prayer focuses on seven major themes, all of which center on God the Father, and the fifth petition shows us that righteous prayer focuses on the forgiveness of the Father. Jesus teaches us to pray for the forgiveness of our debts, and God the Father grants that through His Son, Jesus Christ. The forgiveness of our sins comes with the cancellation of our infinite, unpayable debt to God, and it results in a new way of life. Jesus teaches us to imitate our Father in heaven by forgiving others, and our forgiveness is not the cause of God's forgiveness, but rather the evidence of genuine saving faith. [... more]

God's provision for our daily needs is a reflection of His generosity and care for us. The Lord's Prayer teaches us to trust in His providential care, acknowledging that all we have is a gift from Him. We are to intercede for others' needs, recognizing that our vocations are channels of God's love. The petition 'give us this day our daily bread' implies thankfulness for God's provision, moderation in our requests, and enjoyment of His blessings. It also highlights the importance of the physical world and our bodies, which are to be cared for and glorified by God. Ultimately, this petition points us to the gospel, where Jesus is the bread of life, and God's provision for our spiritual needs is fulfilled through His Son. [... more]

For those nearing retirement, working longer can have a significant impact on their financial security, with studies showing that delaying retirement by just a few months can have the same benefit as saving a higher percentage of income over three decades. This can be especially beneficial for those who plan to claim Social Security benefits before age 70, as waiting beyond full retirement age can increase monthly benefits by two-thirds of one percent or eight percent per year. However, this decision also involves considering emotional and relational factors, such as the potential impact on relationships and lifestyle, and requires open and honest communication as a couple.
