When a Christian Is Asked to Speak at a Funeral

I recently had to speak at the funeral of a family member I loved. I wanted to remember her kindness, but I also wanted those listening to hear why we can have hope in the face of death. Finding the words was difficult, especially with people from so many different backgrounds gathered together. I’ve written down a few things that helped me prepare, along with some of what I shared that day. I hope you won’t need this anytime soon, but perhaps it will help when someone asks you to speak.

If you’ve encountered the names Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck but wondered what holds their theological vision together, this article offers a helpful starting point. Alex introduces the movement’s leading figures and considers Christian worldview, the unity of creation, grace restoring nature, and common grace. What do these convictions mean for Christians at home, at work, and in public life? I hope his introduction encourages you to think carefully about how faith shapes the ordinary callings God has given us.

Five Things Reformed Christians Can Learn from Heinrich Bullinger

I’ve been spending time with Heinrich Bullinger, and I think more of us should read him. He speaks to questions that follow us into church each Sunday: Where do we turn when assurance falters? How do we treat Christians who have criticized us? How do we learn from the Reformers without defending their sins? One account of Bullinger welcoming ministers who had denounced his teaching especially caught my attention.
