Mrs. B.B. Warfield – Fred Zaspel: “Believe it or not, since the publication of my The Theology of B.B. Warfield: A Systematic Summary in early 2010 I have received more inquiries regarding Warfield’s wife, Annie, than any other single Warfield subject.” In this article he dispels some of the myths.

6 Discontinuities – This is a helpful little chart that displays six discontinuities between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant in Jesus.

4 Sermon Types to Avoid – Derek Thomas gives four sermon types that we ought to avoid.

God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

—C.S. Lewis
