Crossway Publishers is graciously providing a free pdf copy of The Final Days of Jesus to readers of Christ Over All for the month of April.
In Leviticus 21, blemished priests are barred from approaching God. How can that be good news, especially for disabled Christians today? Yet this passage points beyond itself. Only the unblemished approach God, but in Christ, the blemish are raised unblemished.
We hear a voice of bravado sing around the graveside of Psalm 16—was that king David, or did it have a more Galilean ring? The Apostles heard the voice too, and they are confident of its source. Arise, O heart!
For many, the resurrection is a feature of the New Testament and not the Old. The prophet Ezekiel begs to differ!
Barrenness is death. But it is not the end of the story. God shines resurrection hope even into barrenness. We see this in Genesis: Sarah’s womb, dead in barrenness, is brought to life in the birth of Isaac.
Parabolically speaking, the author of Hebrews speaks of the near sacrifice of Isaac in Genesis 22 as a resurrection. But what does this mean?
Looking back on SBC stewardship, and forward to the resurrection in the Old Testament
Churches that share our convictions just formed a new association for planting churches and sending missionaries together. We're excited! But we have a significant concern...
The SBC has long been called a "Big Tent" association of churches. That is, substantial diversity exists in the denomination. While this may be helpful for Cooperative Program giving, the key to fruitful ministry may be affinity groups and associations within the SBC.
Are we circling back to the time of the Conservative Resurgence? While the 1970s saw the oligarchy of liberal elites, the 2010s and 2020s have so far seen an oligarchy of Cultural Engagers.
Are there two SBCs? Some divide the SBC into the SBC of social media and "the real SBC," yet this is far from the truth. There is one SBC, but it lacks an adequate and fair hearing for all it has to say.
Soft hearts and sharp minds will not avail us if we lack strong spines with the courage to teach what the Bible says about female pastors.
Why do Southern Baptist churches cooperate? Here are seven questions and answers that show the value of association among Baptist churches.
Jesus Christ reigns over all things, and this podcast exists to help people see the reality and ramifications of this truth. We post at least four times a month: Twice, we will read aloud a longform essay from our monthly theme. And twice, we will discuss each essay with its author and another Christian leader. Listen in to live in light of Christ’s Lordship.
In keeping with our vision to edify the church with evergreen content, our website is organized around monthly themes. These themes may focus on the Bible, theology, church, or culture. Over the course of the year we cover all these vital areas. There is a place for real-time responsiveness to cultural and evangelical controversy, but monthly themes do not focus on that priority. Rather, we plan our themes months in advance, curating a stable of writers with tailored assignments. Our hope is to foster mature and biblically-grounded reflection. To that end, with acknowledgement that all we plan is subject to God’s will, here are Christ Over All’s upcoming themes.
Christ Over All is a ministry that aspires to edify the church with evergreen content that will help the church think in biblical categories and apply Christ’s preeminence to all areas of life. In an age where the internet is often hyper-reactive and hostile, we will take a different path.
