What Should We Think About Paedocommunion?

As someone who formerly held to paedobaptism, I am glad to see this well-reasoned article about paedocommunion. “Because of growing interest in paedocommunion within some quarters of the Reformed church over the last half century, the practice merits a closer look.

These arguments, furthermore, help to explain why the confessional consensus of the Reformed churches has knowingly rejected the practice.”

Do You Believe Your Pasture’s Green?

“Perhaps you, like me, have found comfort in keeping a record of wrongs of your surroundings. Instead of resting, we’re fretting.

Flashback: The Freedom of Embracing My Weaknesses

As important as it has been to learn who God has made me to be has been learning, admitting, and embracing who he has not made me to be.

In the end, as in the beginning, it is not our good intentions or even our good deeds that will get us out of the muck of ourselves. It is God’s rescuing hand. It is his enduring announcement over us messed-up creatures, “I love you,” that changes everything.

    So Many Dumb Ways To Die

    Do you remember the catchy little earworm “Dumb Ways To Die?” In what was undoubtedly one of history’s most successful public awareness campaigns, Metro Trains of Melbourne, Australia, reached millions of people around the world with their message of railroad safety.
