Joe Henegan | June 11, 2019

Sharon Dirckx | June 7, 2019

An early childhood memory of mine is of sitting by a window on a rainy day, watching the drops splash against the pane. Like all normal children, I spent most of my life racing around. But at this particular moment, I was still, and my mind had time to drift. I remember a series of questions popping into my head...... continue reading

When Evangelism Feels Impossible: 4 Steps to Joyful Obedience

Jonty Allcock | June 5, 2019

As new Christians, we often start out enthusiastic at the idea of calling people to follow King Jesus. We are expectant and joyful. But it can soon lead to deflation.

Jonty Allcock | June 3, 2019

When I hear that from the lips of Jesus, I feel just as weak and overwhelmed as the first eleven disciples standing on the mountain. I’m daunted as I look at the sheer numbers of people who have never heard about Jesus in our world. In fact, come to that, I’m daunted by the number of people who live on my street. The task feels too big.... continue reading

How Should We Pay Our Pastors?

Christopher Ash | May 31, 2019

A hard-working pastor, who labours in preaching and teaching, who cares for his people and prays for them, who leads the team that directs the affairs of the church, ought to be in no doubt that he is greatly valued. He ought to be free from crippling financial uncertainty and worries, so that he can give himself uninterruptedly to the noble task entrusted to his care.... continue reading

Stop Praying “Be With” Prayers

Alistair Begg | May 28, 2019

I want to erase the two words that shut most of our prayers down. Here they are: “Be with…”... continue reading

Christian, Answer Questions People Are Actually Asking

Timothy Keller | May 27, 2019

Finally my professor summoned some courage and said, “Professor Tillich, that wasn’t really the student’s question. Could you answer the question the student actually asked?” The response was quick and withering: “No, because they aren’t asking the right questions.”... continue reading

Christopher Ash | May 23, 2019

A pastor’s visits one week included these two. The first was to a home where all was well. Ryan and Steph were prosperous; the home was pleasant; a good car sat on the driveway; the children were being educated in expensive schools; their manners were good; talent abounded.... continue reading
