Excerpted from “Whitefield Gold” complied by Ray Comfort from the sermons and writings of George Whitefield:
“Stop, stop, O sinner! Turn ye, turn ye, O ye unconverted men, for the end of that way you are now walking in, however right it may seem in your blinded eyes, will be death, even eternal destruction both of [...]

Abraham, Personhood, and Uniqueness
Yet another reason that I recommend this book to whosoever will listen…
From Oliver O’Donovan’s Begotten or Made?:
“When Abraham entertained the three heavenly visitors by his tent at Mamre, he slaughtered a calf (Gen. 18). Has anyone ever asked which calf? Yet you could not slaughter a human being without slaughtering some particular human being, someone [...]

“The Kingdom of God is hostile to nothing but sin alone…”
Combating the ideal that “the gospel is hostile to culture” and in a deeper sense, hostile to the created purposes of Creation, Herman Bavinck writes, “The Christian is the true man, on every front and in every domain. Christianity is not opposed to nature, but to sin. Christ came, not to destroy the works of [...]

Are You Living as if Children are Blessings or Curses?
A powerful excerpt from what may become my default wedding gift for my friends and family getting married, Steve and Candice Watter’s, “Start Your Family: Inspiration for Having Babies“:
“‘Choose life” – it’s the pro-life movement’s rallying cry adopted from Deuteronomy 30:19. But that Scripture isn’t just for those in a crisis pregnancy. We also see [...]

Women and the Home: Keeping the Main thing, the Main thing
I’m in the midst of a G.K. Chesterton kick in my person reading, so I hope to share a couple of the gems I come across with you here at the blog. One issue in particular where his commentary is much needed today is on the centrality of the home, and a woman’s awesome responisiblity [...]

Life Worth Living and Death Worth Dying: Book Review of Paul Ramsey’s “The Patient as Person”
“Life in the first of it and life in the last of it are both prismatic cases of human helplessness.” – Paul Ramsey, “The Patient as Person”
When there is talk about the premiere Christian ethicists of the 20th century, the name Paul Ramsey consistently rises to the top of the list. Few ethicist-theologians were as [...]

“We’ve prayed about it and we feel right about using the Pill.”
A fantastic excerpt from Randy Alcorn’s booklet entitled, “Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions?“, part 3:
“I realize people may sincerely pray and decide it’s okay for them to use the Pill. Obviously, everyone must make his own choice. I am not forcing my conclusions on anyone. I am stating my beliefs. One of those [...]

Feeling the Weight of Translating the Bible
I’ve got a number of friends who have felt the call of missions to the Nations, many for the intentional purpose of translating Scripture into the local language. If you really stop and think about it for a moment, it is a truly exhilarating opportunity. Not only could you share the gospel of Jesus Christ [...]

G.K. Chesterton and Birth Control: “A Weak and Wobbly and Cowardly Word”
While perousing the web today, I came across this post entitled “The Problem with Birth Control” by Mark Davis over at Intellectual Faith. What really caught my eye was the G.K. Chesterton quotes he used to set the context. I’ve only read one book by Chesterton, Orthodoxy, but he quickly became one of my favorite cultural-philophizers. [...]

Rich In Everything But Children
More insightfully practical commentary from this amazing Mary Pride book I’m reading entitled, “The Way Home”:
“We are the richest people in history, yet the most fearful about the costs of child-rearing. Perhaps its because we don’t realize how supper-fatted our lifestyles are, and how little our children really need in order to grow up happy, [...]
