A Call to Pray for Wang Yi, Pastor of Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, China, Sentenced to Nine Years in Prison
On December 26, 2019, Pastor Yi was secretly tried at the Chengdu Intermediate People’s Court and sentenced to 9 years in prison. Here is a letter from his church.
Pastor Wang Yi did not commit any crime. The authorities’ charges of “inciting to subvert state power” and “illegal business operations” are part of the unjust persecutions against the Chinese house church.

George Whitefield’s Grave
A Meditation on The Labor of Ministry
How he came to be placed in a crypt beneath the sanctuary of the Old South Church is a story well-told and easily found elsewhere. It’s the scene of the crypt itself I want to reflect on, as it has never ceased to entertain my pastoral imagination when I think of it. The church... Continue Reading
A Day of Rest or a Day of Stress?
The purpose of the Lord's Day
For Owen, partaking of God’s rest includes praising him for his work and aligning one’s work with his, which brings satisfaction and enjoyment. The people who partake in this rest are those who already have faith, yet they need to be “encouraged unto believing.”[13] Owen explains, true faith is not just hearing the “word of...

Charles Darwin’s Letter to Billy Graham
Science cannot explain the fullness of our humanity. We should be skeptical of claims that it can.
This year marks the 160th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s Origin of the Species. Darwin’s theories wield massive historic and contemporary influence.

That’s why Graham described such... Continue Reading

Mark Galli says it’s strange that people who “take the teachings of Jesus Christ seriously” can’t see that Trump’s character is “deeply concerning.”
Galli, who also called for Trump to be removed from office, faced backlash from multiple evangelical leaders, including Franklin Graham ― the son of American evangelist Billy Graham who founded Christianity Today ― but he doubled down on his opinion in a “Face The Nation” appearance on Sunday.

Lord’s Day Meditation: “Behold, I Have Graven Thee upon the Palms of My Hands”
Heaven and earth may well be astonished that rebels should obtain so great a nearness to the heart of infinite love as to be written upon the palms of his hands.

Hilary of Poitiers and the Wonder of the Triune God
Hilary’s convictions about Christ’s incarnation developed through a long study and investigation of Scriptures.
In 356, the Synod of Béziers, composed mostly of Arians, sentenced Hilary to exile in Phrygia (in present-day Turkey). It was there that Hilary wrote his best-known work, On the Trinity, where he supported his stand with Scriptures from both Old and New Testament. For Hilary, the doctrine of the Trinity is not only biblical,... Continue Reading
