Reformation Worship
Next month, Bible-believing churches around the world will celebrate the anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. We celebrate the Reformation because this was a God-appointed time in the history of the church when a ship that had gone so far off-course was finally righted and the Gospel, which had been diluted and obscured, was re-discovered and clearly proclaimed once again. Christians have every reason to celebrate and cherish the five “solas” that were re-claimed by the Reformation: sola gratia, sola fide,…

Our Covenant Children
What is it that parents want for their children? We want them to be healthy. We want them to not only do well in school, but to continue to have a love of learning. We want them to be hard-working and obedient. Those are good desires, yet that’s not any different from what unbelievers want for their children. As Christians, we should want something more.
