Version 4.3


These are the 20 latest additions to the database
( latest additions listed First )

  1. A Father’s Day Prayer   Open in New Window
    We praise Thee as the true and perfect Father; a Father who takes pity on us who fear Thee; a Father who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy; a Father who doth not deal with us after our sins, nor reward us according to our iniquities; a Father who hast removed our transgressions from us as far as the east is from the west. by Rev. Joshua Engelsma

  2. Are Michael and Jesus the same Person   Open in New Window
    It is significant that the Bible only speaks of one archangel. Some people suppose there are several, but the Bible only speaks of one, and He is always called Michael. The name Michael means, "who is like God," a name which could not refer to a created angel, but to the only One who is "the express image" of "the invisible God." (Hebrews 1:3; Colossians 1:15).

  3. Children Of Divorce: A testimony   Open in New Window
    My writing this article is to help those contemplating divorce to understand the long term ramifications of this sad chapter in their lives. In the battlefield of divorce there are usually far more than 2 casualties and the healing period spans a lifetime. Those who think that divorce is the best solution to a problem marriage are as disillusioned as I was when my mom and dad divorced 21 years ago. by RM Kane

  4. Can Christians Marry Non-Christians?   Open in New Window
    A Biblical Theology - Some temptations common to many are shaped in such a way that the Christian knows they’re wrong, and so the problem will often be that, in their guilt, they’ll stay hidden. But the temptation to get romantically involved with a non-Christian tends to be framed differently. People tend not to hide it, but instead attempt to justify it to themselves and then to other Christians, attempting to warn them of the path they’re taking. by Mike Gilbart-Smith

  5. Is Jesus Michael the Archangel?   Open in New Window
    The identity of Michael the Archangel has long intrigued theologians and believers. Is Michael a distinct angelic being, or could this title represent Jesus Christ in His heavenly role? The identity of Michael the Archangel is a captivating topic that invites thoughtful exploration of Scripture and theology. Many negative arguments focus on Michael’s title but overlook Michael's actions, role as leader, defender, advocate, and commander of God's messengers. by Scott Heitmann

  6. The Faih Of Our Fathers   Open in New Window
    As I have sat in that pew over the years my heart has overflowed with gratitude to God for what I learned about Fatherhood from my Dad. The very fact that we were there reminded me of the importance of keeping my priorities in order. Now there are the voices of my children and grandchildren around me hopefully learning the same lessons that I learned for so many years from my Dad. by Dr. Timothy Witmer

  7. The Meaning of 'Sons of God'   Open in New Window
    Genesis 6:1-4 speaks of the universal degeneration of man into ungodliness prior to the equally universal, worldwide Flood. There is a controversy surrounds the meaning of "sons of God" in genesis chapter 6 verses two and four concerning the nephil or Nephilim, angels marrying human women, and the sons of God. -by Trevor J. Major, M.Sc., M.A.

  8. Reasons You Should Not Marry an Unbeliever   Open in New Window
    Don’t Take It from Me - Reasons You Should Not Marry an Unbeliever. Over the course of our ministry, the most common pastoral issue that Tim and I have confronted is probably unlawful marriages. Either actual marriages or proposed marriages between Christians and non-Christians. If we are to hear the voices of men and women who are in unequal marriages, we will know to their sorrow why it is not merely a disobedient choice, but an unwise one. by Kathy Keller

  9. Jephthah’s Daughter - a Heroine of Sacrifice and Faith   Open in New Window
    Did Jephthah sacrifice his daughter? Absolutely. But Jephthah’s daughter, too, makes an even greater sacrifice, and it is also reflected in the gift of Jesus to us in his death. In faithfulness and love, these two have followed their Father’s impetus to death. Jesus and Jephthah’s daughter, not shrinking from death, are sacrificed in acts of faithfulness.

  10. How the Church Growth Movement has De-Churched Christians   Open in New Window
    The seeker-sensitive model of marketing to outsiders has unwittingly transformed those on the inside. We’ve retrained our laity and created new expectations of what the church is and how one ought to participate in it. A result is there are clear differences between generations in many local church communities. Older members are far better at cultivating Christian community than younger generations, who often struggle to find any semblance of community and connection. by Jon Austin

  11. Did God Accept Jephthah’s Sacrifice of His Daughter?   Open in New Window
    Many people believe Jephthah did not actually sacrifice his daughter as a burnt offering. Instead, they believe that Jephthah gave his daughter in service to the Lord as a lifelong virgin. This view notes how the text stresses that she remained a virgin, not that she died. This is possibly what happened, but it relies a bit too heavily on a unique rendering of the Hebrew and is contrary to a straightforward reading of the text. by Rick Thiessen

  12. Grieve Not The Spirit Of God   Open in New Window
    Today the church of Jesus Christ celebrates one of the richest experiences she has ever had: the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It was for the Holy Spirit that everything else was. Christ was born, died, arose again in order that He might pour out all of His salvation through the Holy Spirit upon us (Ephesians 4:30). By Rev Carl J Haak

  13. Jephthah: The Agony of Victory   Open in New Window
    To take an oath is both solemn and serious, as our Heidelberg Catechism reading (Q&A 101-2) says. When we make an oath by the name of God, we are "calling upon God, that He, as the only searcher of hearts, may bear witness to the truth, and punish me if I swear falsely." God is Truth, and we are swearing by his truth.

  14. Christians: who you keep company with matters to the Lord   Open in New Window
    There is no aspect of the Christians life which is outside of the governance of God’s Law. It seems obvious that the conscientious Christian finds no pleasure or enjoyment mixing in the atmosphere of unconverted men. Their language, lifestyles, and the inclination of their hearts and mind as conveyed in the topics of their conversation should be of little interest. It matters which church you belong to, and who we marrys is not a matter of indifference to the Lord. by Rev Ivan Foster

  15. How Vigilant Are You with the Company You Keep?   Open in New Window
    There comes a point in time for every one of us where we need to make the painful choice to separate ourselves from hurtful people. You would think that it was easy because they are causing us pain and discomfort. Yet, it never is. Why? Often these are some of the closest friends, classmates, confidants and sometimes, even family. by Pastor Ty Orr

  16. Psalm 137   Open in New Window
    By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. There on the poplars we hung our harps, for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy. How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land? If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

  17. Grieve Not the Spirit: Sins Against the Holy Spirit   Open in New Window
    In our last article we examined the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, more commonly known as the unforgivable sin. They commit this sin who, being in the sphere of the covenant and knowing the gospel of grace, harden their hearts against this gospel, and manifest their hardened hearts by their blasphemous contempt of the Holy Spirit. Vexing and Grieving the Spirit - Isaiah 63:10 and Ephesians 4:30. Isaiah 63:10 mentions the sinful response of wilderness-wandering Israel to Jehovah’s lovingkindness: 'But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore was he turned to be their enemy, and fought against them.' by Douglas J. Kuiper

  18. First and Second Causes - Through the WCF 5.2, 5.3   Open in New Window
    Although, in relation to the foreknowledge and decree of God, the first Cause, all things come to pass immutably, and infallibly; yet, by the same providence, He ordereth them to fall out, according to the nature of second causes, either necessarily, freely, or contingently. God, in His ordinary providence, maketh use of means, yet is free to work without, above, and against them, at His pleasure.

  19. Jephthah’s Daughter: Courage and Lament   Open in New Window
    After Jephthah’s vow and a successful battle against the Ammonites, he returns to his home in Mizpah when, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! When Jephthah makes an impulsive and rash vow to God, his daughter responds with both courage and lament. The story of Jephthah’s daughter in Judges 11 urges us to consider the kinds of vows we make before God and the impact those vows have upon those around us. by Rev. Dr. Denise Kingdom

  20. Grieving the Holy Spirit   Open in New Window
    But how is this possible? How can the Spirit be grieved? Is not all grief suffering? Can God suffer? Moreover, when you consider that the church is the product of the grace of the Holy Spirit, do we not meet with a serious problem when we are confronted with the doctrine of irresistible grace, a fundamental and basic doctrine of Christian faith? How can it be said that the Spirit grieves over His own work? by Marinus Schipper
