This week the blog has been sponsored by Ligonier and Reformation Trust.

What is baptism? Is it necessary for salvation? Who should be baptized, and how should we baptize them? In his new book, Baptism: Answers to Common Questions, Guy Richard tackles these questions and more. As he searches the Scriptures, he provides needed clarity on this topic and encourages us to deal graciously with our brothers and sisters in Christ even when we disagree. Ten Free Stuff Fridays winners will receive the paperback edition from Ligonier Ministries and Reformation Trust. Also, all Challies readers can download R.C. Sproul’s Crucial Questions ebook What Is Baptism? for free (available in EPUB and MOBI formats).

Spread Too Thin

With so much to do, we can easily begin to wonder whether prayer is an appropriate use of scarce time. Wouldn’t it be better to give my attention to something that would let me cross something off my to-do list?

Pray Until You Feel Like It

A lifelong pastor and preacher, his father had withdrawn from full-time ministry several years prior, but still preached from time to time. On this Sunday he took to the pulpit, read his text, and gave his…
