3. Outdo One Another

How do the apostle Paul’s words about “submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Eph. 5:21) apply to marriage? Over at Desiring God, Reformed Theological Seminary professor and author Chad VanDixhoorn explores four aspects of mutual submission that characterize a distinctly Christian marriage.

4. 3 Main Views of the End Times Explained

Many Christians believe there will be a secret rapture of the church where unbelievers are left behind. This view is known as premillennialism. In this short Sola Media video, pastor, author, and Core Christianity radio host Adriel Sanchez gives us a succinct summary of the three main views of the end times—premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism—and shares his personal view (which BCL editors hold as well) at the end. It’s important to note, as Pastor Sanchez mentions, that a person can be a faithful Christian while holding any of these three end times positions.

5. Loving Your Enemies

This short Ligonier Ministries article explains why loving our enemies as Jesus commanded us to do (Matt. 5:43-48; Luke 6:27-36) “does not contradict texts regarding punishment for criminals and self-defense” and what it means for Christians to “be merciful, even as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36).

6. The Death of Dignity: What Our Clothes Say About Our Culture

Over at Sola Veritas, pastor and Just Thinking Podcast co-host Virgil Walker writes, “There was a time when serious men looked like gentlemen. There was a time when women wore modest apparel and avoided exposing every curvature of their frame for all the world to see. Not anymore.” In this Substack post, Walker address how the modern pursuit of authenticity in dress has come at the expense of the dignity of appearance that earlier generations esteemed.

7. I Was Wrong to Close Our Church During Covid

In this candid Substack post, pastor and author Campbell Markham explains why he regrets halting weekly worship services during the Covid pandemic in 2020, drawing on the prophet Daniel (chapter 6) for guidance regarding how Christians should respond to matters of conscience.
