The Puritan John Owen on the rich benefits of Sonship

By John Span On April 22, 2013 · 1 Comment

At times when we think of the Puritans we think of people with tight-fitting clothes, tight-fisted hearts, and a somber attitude to life.

Loving Muslims and sharing the gospel with them – Can you do it?

By Georges Houssney On March 18, 2013 · 2 Comments

Muslims were my enemies. I hated them with a passion. That was before I came to know Jesus as my personal Savior. For 51 years now, I have not stopped witnessing to Muslims and I find them open and eager to know about the Christian faith. No joy surpasses seeing Muslims abandon the darkness of [...]

The Catechism, Biblical Worldview and Islam

By Roger Dixon On February 4, 2013 · Add Comment

Introduction Christian catechism and biblical worldview are related to Islamic theology though largely in a negative way.

Biblical Missiology’s Statement of Practice

By Jeff Morton On January 11, 2013 · Add Comment

The What I remember saying to my kids in response to their “Why?” questions, “Because. Just because.” End of story. End of discussion. “Because” is not a satisfactory answer for anyone. When it comes to answering the question, “Why does Biblical Missiology do what we do?” a terse “Because it’s biblical” is not satisfactory either. [...]

Did the Apostle Paul fail to find ‘common ground’ at Thessalonica?

By Editor On November 5, 2012 · 5 Comments

Mid-way through their second missionary journey, Paul and Silas left Phillipi where they had been jailed for the Gospel, and went on to Thessalonica (Acts 17:1-10a). The interchange of Paul [Silas is assumed] and the local people is a study in missionary strategy and fortunately 1 and 2 Thessalonians also provides more background material. This [...]
