“Doctrinal work involves a positive proclamation of the truth, and a guarding against falsehood. The task of a shepherd is to gather sheep and scatter wolves” (Mother Kirk, p. 179).

No Jiggy Taunts
The Lord has shown great kindness to us as a congregation, and has given us a wonderful piece of property on the south side of our town. If the Lord wills and enables us, it is our intent to build a beautiful sanctuary there. Since we are doing this in the aftermath of several years …
Strength for the Way
When the service culminates here at the Table, as we believe it does, we are not displacing the Word, or the proclamation of it. We still have a very high view of the need for preaching. But we don’t believe that declaring and hearing the Word is to be treated as an end in itself. …
Michael and Rachel
One time the Pharisees came to Jesus in order to test Him, and they made that attempt in a question about marriage and divorce. Is it lawful, they asked, for a man to put away his wife “for every cause”? Christ replied in the negative, as we know, but I would like to draw your …

In response, someone in the comments asked why we shouldn’t just accept the decision of …

Two Ways of Justification
The lines of descent from Sarah and Hagar are fluid. In other words, physical sons of Sarah can become Ishmaelites through unbelief. Physical sons of Hagar can come in faith to Christ and be adopted into Israel. That which God uses to determine which way it goes is faith which He imparts as a sovereign …
