The Vindication and Slander of Burk Parsons
Since the force of ecclesiastical discipline depends significantly on “the approbation of an impartial public,” the PCA would do well to ensure its appeals process considers how the prevalence of errors affects confidence in the justness and reliability of our judicial processes and church censures. Last week, the Standing Judicial Commission (SJC) of the... Continue Reading
What Do You Really Want?
Numbers 11 invites us to ask some uncomfortable questions. Have I become so focused on what I don’t have that I’ve stopped noticing what God has already given me? Have I begun to believe that getting one particular thing will bring me the contentment I should be finding in God himself? “Then they believed... Continue Reading
Tov: Reconsidering Sacrifice with the Lens of Goodness in Genesis
As we look at our own lives and our own “sacrifices”—our service, our tithes, our worship—Genesis 4 reminds us that God isn’t impressed by the material gift if our life is not aligned with him. But more importantly, Genesis 4 points us toward the hope that where our moral alignment fails, God himself provides the... Continue Reading
Fear of Rejection
Life is risky. Community is risky. Love is risky. But God has not called us to protect ourselves from every possibility of pain. He has called us to love. And love necessarily makes us vulnerable. Sometimes people are afraid of being known because they fear rejection. But how do we grow if we are... Continue Reading
A Marvelous Preservation
Chapter 5 of the Scots Confession is a magnificent anchor for the anxious Christian. The survival of the kirk does not depend on our political savvy, our cultural influence, or our moral perfection. It depends entirely on the unbreakable promise of God. He has preserved His church through the darkest nights of human history, and... Continue Reading
The Peace of God
Life can sometimes hit us with unexpected challenges or heart aches, life can change on a dime, family and friends can disappoint us, money can be tight, and yet there is a peace that can carry us through regardless. God is willing to give the love, the joy, the peace always which He gives... Continue Reading
Are You a Contentious Wife?
Jesus Christ saves contentious women. He forgives sinful words, cleanses bitter hearts, and breaks the grip of pride and control. Through His Spirit, a woman can put off the habits that tear down her home and become the wife who fears the Lord, guards her tongue, does her husband good, and builds her house. ... Continue Reading
September 27 Incorporation of Vanguard Mission and October 3 as a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Vanguard
Whereas, Almighty God is Lord over all nations and rulers, and Holy Scripture commands the church that “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority” (1 Tim. 2:1–2);

Devotion for September 23, 2026
The Promise of Peace Philippians 4:4–7 In everything by prayer and supplication . . . let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6 God invites us to place our earnest requests before him. This is God’s cure for anxiety. God invites you to place your request about these things that trouble you before him. The promise is that the peace of God will keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Notice that these verses do not say we shall necessarily receive the things we ask for.
What Does the Promised Land Promise to Christians Today?
The Promised Land is important because it reveals God’s heart to live with us. It helps us understand the storyline of Scripture. And it points us to Jesus and the kingdom of God. But Christians are not ultimately waiting to return to Israel. As you read the Old Testament, you can’t help but be... Continue Reading
3 Questions to Help Parents Know Which Hill to Die On
Identifying the deeper, heart-level issue will help you know if this particular thing is really worth standing firm on, or whether you can let it go. “Are we going to die on this hill?” My wife and I often ask this question to each other. Quite often in fact. Children grow, and as they... Continue Reading
Christian Women and the Poison of Porn
You need the bold and clear truth of Scripture. Christ overcame the world by love for his elect and by endurance of suffering. Because of this, and in the power of the Holy Spirit’s grace and Christ’s resurrection, the elect will overcome sin by love for Christ and the endurance of the ongoing battle between...

You Must Go On. You Can’t Go On. You Will Go On
God brings His people to do what they do not have the power to do themselves and God’s people choose to respond, knowing they can’t, but trusting that somehow—in some way—God will meet them with the power they need. You have hit the wall. Your resources have been spent. Small, so very small, you... Continue Reading
Separating Love of Sin from Proud Argument
If we recognize that the arguments are clever ways that a man will “suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1.18), then his position is exposed as weak and foolish. He simply wants to sin on his own terms, or at best to defy God and make himself the measure of all things, which is sacrilege,... Continue Reading
Desperate Dads, Faithful Father
You don’t know what God’s will for your future is. You have no idea how he will direct your steps or guide you through this desperate situation. You don’t know what your children will face, how your family will change, or what tomorrow will bring. But there’s one thing you do know: God is for... Continue Reading
On Being Greatly Loved
We can feel so undeserving of God’s love. We can doubt how He would see us as being precious in His sight, or treasured, or highly esteemed. But that IS how He views His children. That is His take on us. Such is His deep, deep love. I have again just been through the... Continue Reading
Christ, Our Attention
When we think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy, we are thinking about things that derive from their source. These are all streams back to the fountain. They all lead to Christ. Attention isn’t the answer. Christ is. Attention draws the human gaze habitually to Him. It’s hard... Continue Reading

No Regrets Philippians 3:12–21 I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Philippians 3:12 Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper tells the story of how a prince and a pauper exchange places. The pauper, mistaken for the prince, is taken to live in the palace, while the prince is turned back to the poor streets of London where he suffers great indignities before he eventually regains his rightful place and the throne.
