Christ’s ascension and seating at the Father’s right hand declare the completion of His saving work. In Ephesians, Paul reveals the astonishing grace that believers are not only raised with Christ but seated with Him in the heavenly places, so that for all eternity God might display the immeasurable riches of His kindness in Christ Jesus....

Isaiah 60:22 is often used in American Evangelical culture as a slogan for personal success and “perfect timing.” This article explains why that use strips the verse from its covenantal, Christ-centered context and turns Scripture into a tool for validating outcomes. By placing Isaiah 60 within the story of exile, promise, and fulfillment in Christ, the piece shows how...

The gospel is not learned by force, but received through Christ’s faithful giving of himself in worship. In the liturgy—especially as shaped by the 1662 Book of Common Prayer—Christ acts through his Word, addressing, forgiving, and nourishing his people as they hear, confess, and receive the gospel again and again, until it becomes second nature....

Many Evangelical churches replace historic creeds with corporate-style mission statements, valuing vision over confession. Drawing on Carl Trueman’s The Creedal Imperative, this post argues that every church has a creed—whether public and accountable or private and untested. Reformation Anglicans, by contrast, embrace the ancient creeds “proved by most certain warran...

American Evangelicalism often chases after “the next big thing,” driven by novelty and personality rather than confession and continuity. In contrast, Reformation Anglicanism finds stability and joy in the “old paths” of Scripture, creed, and confession.
