Christmas is a time of joy, colorful lights, carols, Christmas trees and fellowship with family and friends. It’s time to look back at the year has gone and get ready for the year to come. Particularly, this is the time of the year I love the most. At home, we already set up the tree, turned the lights on, and the joy is all around. 

Virtually Alone? by WRF Member Leah Farish, MA, JD

Occasionally I have the privilege of surveying church congregations to find out how to improve ministry.  In surveying the women of a PCA church recently, I felt the most intriguing response was the answer to this question:

The foundation of the Protestant Reformation laid upon the inerrancy and the divine inspiration of the Scriptures. Historian J.H. Merle D’Aubigne wrote, “If there is no Word of God in the world, there is no salvation,”[1] adding, “Without this holy, this living Biblicism, there cannot be a saving communication of eternal truth.”[2]

If the qualifications for the office of elder essentially cluster around his knowledge, character, skill, and heart, we will focus in this material on the last: the disposition of the shepherd’s heart. Mike Sharrett is a Teaching Elder in The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and an individual member of the WRF. He has developed a program for workshops to be used by Churches in the training of Elders. Mike has graciously offered the program guide for the use of members of the WRF.

On May 3, 2023, Manipur State in North Eastern India, witnessed the beginning of a spate of violence and destruction including murder, arson, rape, and indiscriminate brutality.  The perpetrators were the dominant community, the Meiteis, supported by the State government and the police;  the victims were the Kukis, a tribal group that lives in the hills of the state. 

While all believers acknowledge God is omnipotent and omnipresent, the Lord’s involvement in the spiritual regeneration of Christians separates those in the Reformed faith from Arminians.

The doctrine of election is frequently criticized, with people often attacking those in the Reformed circle for denouncing free will, the need for evangelism, or providing a sense of superiority.

It seems that the Lord is constantly making promises to His people.

Back in the Dark Ages, when I was a young Christian, one of our most frequently-sung hymns was “Standing in the Promises.” 

What would you think if you heard a PCA Ruling Elder describe his pastor as “the most arrogant man I have ever met?” Or another Ruling Elder label that same pastor a “bully”? You would instantly think, “it just can’t be that way,” which was my reaction upon hearing this. Yet, there are churches where this is the case, even where staff members find their senior pastors so difficult to serve with, that they feel compelled to leave their call to that beloved congregation. These are neither edifying nor tolerable situations, but it does have to be this way.

Last Sunday’s New York Times published, “The Gospel According to Me,” an Opinionator blog critiquing America’s spiritual quest for “the authentic self” as ultimately selfish and one that dead-ends at cynicism.

Is God angry with me? Or does God love me? Which is it?

Good and fair questions, often asked by many of us – sometimes publicly, often privately.

In December 2017, Christianity Today, published an article, “Today’s Evangelicals Face a Crisis of Confidence,” by Nathan Betts.  One of the theses of this article was that “individual religiousness tends to be private and episodically intense.”
