The church that loses her fiery hatred for errors concerning the truth of Scripture walks the way of a sickness unto death. Placidly accepting heresies with the church at Thyatira (Rev. 2:20) or tolerating evil with mild protestations as did Eli (I Sam. 3), she places herself under God’s judgment of that which claims […]
That Beacon Lights requests an article of this nature shows two things: the staff is aware of the growing number of Protestant Reformed young people attending colleges and universities, and that the apostasy of both public and private institutions is well advanced and may be expected to proliferate.

Our Churches do not keep up with modern developments. Our people are not interested in progress and shield themselves from change. Our doctrine is outdated and our life and walk […]
“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient” (I Cor. 6:12). By “all things” Paul certainly does not mean all things absolutely, without exception.
