The work inaugurated by Jesus aims at nothing less than a supernatural renewal of the world, whereby all evil will be overcome, a renewal of the physical as well of the spiritual world. Because in reality it would now appear that the two lay far apart in point of time, it was all the more necessary that some solid anticipations of the eschatological change should be given. Here, as on other points, our Lord’s teaching warns us against that excessive spiritualizing tendency, to which the external world becomes altogether worthless and indifferent or even withdrawn from the direct control of God. Geerhardus Vos

Conn’s lectures here are so good
From the archives 📖 In 1987 our Doctrine of the Church course was co-taught by Richard Gaffin, Tim Keller, Edmund Clowney, Harvie Conn, and others. Today, we're giving full access to all 34 lectures of this course for free. Details below 👇

Mission is “the mother of theology.” In mutuality and comradeship, theology and mission say together, “The mission of God is our concern; the global mission of the church is our life.” Harvie Conn

Are our efforts to help the poor helpful or harmful? @Fikkert will join Rob West to explore how short-term missions can genuinely reflect the heart of Christ and bring lasting change. Listen on our app, podcast, live, or online at faithfi.com/show

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight" ~ John 18:36a The Kingdom of God does impact this world, but the methods employed for advancement are vastly different from the ways of the world Don't fall for cheap counterfeit methodology!

At an RTS NYC Convocation, the late Tim Keller—a dear friend and member of the RTS community — challenges the popular saying, "Preach the gospel, use words when necessary." While actions matter, the gospel is meant to be lived and proclaimed. As Romans 10:14 asks, "How can they hear without someone preaching to them?" Keller emphasizes that sharing the gospel requires both a life that reflects its truth and the intentional proclamation of its message. #RTS #reformed #seminary #reformedseminary #mindfortruth #heartforGod

If the biblical story does not control our thinking, then we will be swept into the story that the world tells about itself.

I'm thankful for Carl Trueman's insights here. Very few evangelicals are aware of how weak virtue ethics are in the evangelical world. Protestants Need Virtue Ethics firstthings.com/protestants-…

Have you embraced God as an idea explained in a confession or creed? Or have you experienced the living God to whom orthodox confessions and creeds point but cannot explain? This is a question I ask myself.

Thank you @VivekGRamaswamy. Yes! This is one of the few major issues that is completely bipartisan. Red states and blue states are getting phones out of schools. Let's do this, together.
Get the cell phones out of the schools.

Glad to see this statement of support for our Coordinator, our affinity ministries, and how they serve our whole church in the ministry of reconciliation. However, apologies with a repentant spirit are still in order to our MNA Coordinator and the leaders of these ministries.
MNA has recently received media attention on several issues, including our National Coordinator’s participation at an affinity ministry event hosted at a PCA church. After extensive prayer and discussion, we want to communicate the following to our church. byfaithonline.com/a-statemen…

Such a contrast in body language! So pleased to see the Prime Minister embracing Zelensky after the political mugging he experienced in Washington. We stand with Ukraine. 💙💛🇺🇦 #Diplomacy #Politics #Ukraine #Solidarity #Leadership

It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.
"You've gotta be more thankful" -- remarkable scenes out of the White House as Trump and JD Vance team up to do Putin's bidding and demean Zelenskyy

It requires a profound disrespect for the truth and for your intelligence to pretend that Zelenskyy has not thanked us dozens of times.
