Stage Fright

A video has been making the rounds that shows a ballet performance during a service at Redeemer Presbyterian in New York. Wes Bredenhof sets this in historical context and makes an astute observation: “This performance would only be possible in a church building with a stage. Your traditional Reformed church building with a large pulpit occupying the center of attention would never accommodate a ballet trio.”

Husband, Lift Up Your Eyes

It’s not so much faith in Christ that saves, but Christ who saves through faith.
