Als een geliefde voorganger faalt

We zijn allemaal wel eens teleurgesteld geweest in mensen, maar de pijn kan moeilijker te verdragen zijn als die van binnen de vier muren van onze kerk komt.
‘Lord, Do It Again’: Tim Keller on Revival

Mar 17, 2023 | thegospelcoalition.org | Tim Keller |Hannah De Cleene |Jared Larson |Trevin Wax

When I became a Christian at Bucknell University in 1970, the small InterVarsity group had perhaps 5 to 15 people coming at various times in the first two years I was involved. Suddenly, in my junior and senior year, the numbers went up 10-fold. A lot of people were becoming Christians. This wasn’t just before cell phones and social media but before answering machines. There was no campaign. There wasn’t any media.
Who Needs Missionaries? (It’s Not Just the ‘Unreached’)

The apostle Paul was a pioneer missionary. His ambition was to preach the gospel where Christ hadn’t “already been named” (Rom. 15:20). A fire burned within him for those who’d never been told to “see,” for those who’d never heard to “understand” the message of God’s grace in Christ (Rom. 15:21). Although he spent much time laboring among churches, Paul always longed to move into “lands beyond” (2 Cor. 10:16). But Paul understood not all gospel workers share his call.

Episode No. 001Subscribe RSS Apple Spotify Google Stitcher At TGCW22, Julius Kim delivered a powerful message on how King David’s sacrificial love toward Mephibosheth points us to the sacrificial love of God through Christ. As Kim teaches on 2 Samuel 9, he explains that King David’s love for Mephibosheth mimics Christ’s love for us. Kim draws out four key acts in this passage:Advertise on TGC1.

Scripture commends a variety of attitudes and emotions in worship. Joy and love are prominent, of course, and we love to sing songs on those themes. Beyond that, in the Psalms, for example, we see saints trusting God through tears (e.g., Pss. 22; 42; 88). Job and the prophets likewise display sadness while falling on grace. And it’s certain that, on any given week, some in our churches are grieving. No wonder Scripture teaches it’s good to sing songs that voice both joy and sadness.
Judge Rules Human Embryos Can Be Valued and Sold as ‘Goods and Chattel’

Mar 16, 2023 | thegospelcoalition.org | Joe Carter |Jared Larson |Terry Glaspey |Hannah De Cleene

The Story: A state judge in Virginia issued a preliminary opinion that frozen human embryos can legally be considered property, or “chattel.”The Background: A divorced couple in Virginia are in a legal dispute over two frozen embryos that remain in storage. The woman wants to implant the embryos and raise the children, while the man objects. Prior to their divorce, they signed a statement by the IVF clinic titled “Legal Statement—Embryo Ownership” in which they chose to “own” any embryos jointly.
Women Are Partners in Gospel Ministry

Mar 16, 2023 | thegospelcoalition.org | Jane Tooher |Jared Larson |Terry Glaspey |Hannah De Cleene

I love the writings of female missionaries such as Helen Roseveare and Florence Young. One of the reasons for my appreciation is their honesty. I tend to put missionaries on a pedestal, as if you need some special gift to be one. But hearing them in their own words, you recognize these missionaries are a lot like us. This makes sense as no matter who we are or where we live, we’re all called to be involved in the same mission.
When a Beloved Pastor Falls

Mar 15, 2023 | thegospelcoalition.org | Hannah De Cleene |Miranda Carls |J. D. Greear |Trevin Wax

We’ve all been disappointed in people before, but the hurt can be harder to swallow when it comes from inside the four walls of our church. Perhaps a beloved pastor led your parents to Christ and performed your wedding, but you later discovered he spiritually abused other church members. Maybe your youth pastor always supported you at soccer games and plays but recently abandoned his wife and family for someone else. God used this pastor in your life, but now the memories feel tainted.
