Page: Feed: --- ## [Christ Concealed and Revealed](https://theaquilareport.com/christ-concealed-and-revealed/) _2026-08-27 · Ardel Caneday · The Aquila Report_ This is how Jesus reveals himself. Throughout His ministry, even to the end, Jesus, the incarnate One, veiled in flesh, replicated Scripture, concealing while revealing with symbolic acts and speech, ever progressing toward His passion and resurrection. Luke’s Gospel is the only one that preserves one of the most interesting stories of Jesus with...

On Thursday evening, August 20, the elders of Grace Community Church unanimously affirmed Nathan Busenitz as our new senior pastor. Through this decision, the elders have... Continue Reading ## [Sin Loves a Void](https://theaquilareport.com/sin-loves-a-void/) _2026-08-27 · Jacob Crouch · The Aquila Report_ We don’t just say, “No!” to sin, but we move to saying, “Yes!” to righteousness. We put to death a lesser love and replace it with a greater one. Refill the void with gospel truth and walk in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (Psa 23:3). Killing sin is commanded (Col 3:5). Fighting... Continue Reading ## [Dinesh D’Souza’s Case Against Calvinism, Answered](https://theaquilareport.com/dinesh-dsouzas-case-against-calvinism-answered/) _2026-08-27 · Anthony Faggiano · The Aquila Report_ D’Souza has pressed the question that lies at the center of the controversy: Is fallen man’s will the decisive cause of his salvation, or must sovereign grace first make the unwilling willing? D’Souza has identified the hinge. He hasn’t, however, answered it as Scripture does. Dinesh D’Souza is a prominent conservative political commentator, filmmaker,... Continue Reading ## [The Real Islamist Threat](https://theaquilareport.com/the-real-islamist-threat/) _2026-08-27 · A.S. Ibrahim · The Aquila Report_ Islamism doesn’t fight Western freedom from the outside. It uses Western freedom as its instrument, turning the very liberties that make pluralist society possible into the tools of that society’s unraveling. Islamism is a cancer spreading in Western societies, and at least some citizens of the West have become aware of its multifaceted dangers... Continue Reading ## [R.S.V.P.](https://theaquilareport.com/r-s-v-p/) _2026-08-27 · Pastor Randy Booth · The Aquila Report_ I cannot control whether another person sins against me. I cannot always control what happens to me. But by the grace of God and the power of His Spirit, I can respond faithfully. Dr. Jay Adams taught me these principles many years ago. Thank you, Dr. Adams. When people are sinned against, they always... Continue Reading ## [Ponder Anew](https://theaquilareport.com/ponder-anew/) _2026-08-27 · Peter Rosenberger · The Aquila Report_ Tomorrow morning, I’ll walk into my office, glance at those familiar words, and begin another day. “Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, if with His love He befriend thee.” The noise of the moment loses its authority. Headlines lose their urgency. The fatigue begins to dissipate. And before long, pondering gives way to praise.... Continue Reading ## [Sometimes I Don’t Know How to Be Weak](https://theaquilareport.com/sometimes-i-dont-know-how-to-be-weak/) _2026-08-27 · Blake Long · The Aquila Report_ We need to be in constant prayer with the Lord, admitting our limitations, our ignorance, our, well, stupidity. We should never think we have it all together or that we know all the answers. We need God. That’s an easy word to say, but a hard one to embrace, difficult to possess. We don’t... Continue Reading ## [The Indivisible Essence: Reclaiming Divine Simplicity](https://theaquilareport.com/the-indivisible-essence-reclaiming-divine-simplicity/) _2026-08-27 · Tony Arsenal · The Aquila Report_ God is not a puzzle to be assembled, a recipe to be mixed, an equation to be calculated, or a collection of parts to be analyzed. He is the infinite, uncreated, simple Lord of hosts. When we bow before Him, we do not worship a collection of divine properties; we worship the simple, triune majesty... Continue Reading ## [Learn to Follow Before You Lead His People](https://theaquilareport.com/learn-to-follow-before-you-lead-his-people-leadership-as-an-extension-of-discipleship-alan-hirsch/) _2026-08-26 · Alan Hirsch · The Aquila Report_ Little or none of Christian leadership will carry the shape of Jesus unless the leader has first become His disciple in the deepest sense the word allows. The good news is that this foundation is available to every leader willing to return to it: study Him afresh, submit to His Lordship, and let obedience do... Continue Reading ## [Find what they just said (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/sSmii1AJ6Qe8) _2026-08-26 · **Sponsored**_ Surface recent public signals so you can send policy-aware, relevant outreach ## [Will Christians Really Judge the World?](https://theaquilareport.com/will-christians-really-judge-the-world/) _2026-08-26 · Alistair Chalmers · The Aquila Report_ The future dignity God has promised his people should produce present humility and maturity. One day the saints will judge the world. Today, therefore, we should be learning to think like citizens of the kingdom that is coming. There are some verses in the Bible that we can read dozens of times without really... Continue Reading ## [Ultimate Engineering in the Human Body](https://theaquilareport.com/ultimate-engineering-in-the-human-body/) _2026-08-26 · Stuart Burgess · The Aquila Report_ Recognising ultimate engineering in the human body is a challenge to the unbeliever. But it is also a comfort to the believer. When we consider the perfection of design in the human body, we can be reminded and comforted that God’s ways are always perfect. The psalmist David declared that the human body is... Continue Reading ## [Who Are You, Really?](https://theaquilareport.com/who-are-you-really/) _2026-08-26 · Douglas Groothuis · The Aquila Report_ The existence and design of the cosmos, as well as our awareness of the moral law, speaks to the existence of God, and the Scriptures speak into that condition, telling us who we are. Thus we must take this truth back from existentialism, which gives us a bogus view of ourselves. In forgetfulness, facts... Continue Reading ## [A Priest, But A Stranger To God](https://theaquilareport.com/a-priest-but-a-stranger-to-god/) _2026-08-26 · Richard Bennett and Martin Buckinham, Editors · The Aquila Report_ During all my reflections, God was preparing his word of salvation: ‘For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast’ (Eph. 2:8–9). It was here that I understood my error and the reason for God’s rejection. I... Continue Reading ## [Seeing God](https://theaquilareport.com/seeing-god/) _2026-08-26 · Stan Gale · The Aquila Report_ We open the Bible to His record of redemption, the diary of His mighty acts, the expressions of His mercy, grace, and love, the declarations of His faithfulness, and the glory of the invisible God takes shape in minds and hearts. The invisible becomes visible. John makes it clear from the outset of his... Continue Reading ## [How the Reformers Carried on the Ancient Catechetical Tradition](https://theaquilareport.com/how-the-reformers-carried-on-the-ancient-catechetical-tradition/) _2026-08-26 · Wyatt Graham · The Aquila Report_ The tradition of catechisms reaches back into the Bible itself (see Deut. 6:7–9). Early Christians continued to catechize, and thus Luther’s catechisms reflect about 1,500 years of ongoing tradition. Martin Luther wrote two catechisms: the concise Small Catechism and the more extensive Large Catechism. Both became part of the Book of Concord, the collection of... Continue Reading ## [America Doesn’t Owe You a Blank Check](https://theaquilareport.com/america-doesnt-owe-you-a-blank-check/) _2026-08-26 · A.S. Ibrahim · The Aquila Report_ Americans must protect our core values—individual liberty, equality under the law, free speech, gender equality, and the expectation of cultural assimilation into a shared civic culture—and insist firmly on upholding them against attempts by some Muslims to advance an Islamic agenda. There are not many subjects on which a conservative Christian expects to find... Continue Reading ## [A Biblical Case for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Strict Ethical Boundaries](https://theaquilareport.com/a-biblical-case-for-in-vitro-fertilization-ivf-with-strict-ethical-boundaries/) _2026-08-26 · Brian Najapfour · The Aquila Report_ Carefully restricted IVF may be understood as assisting a married couple’s own reproductive capacity without redefining procreation, and therefore may be considered a lawful, though exceptional, means under God’s providence. Editor’s Note: While the views expressed in this article are not necessarily endorsed by the Alliance, it does raise an essential and ongoing topic... Continue Reading ## [Why Movements Die the Way They Live](https://theaquilareport.com/why-movements-die-the-way-they-live/) _2026-08-25 · Alan Hirsch · The Aquila Report_ Every dynamic movement in history has run on story — the stories of its pioneers, its risk-takers, its ordinary people who did extraordinary things because they believed the cause was worth everything. Tell those stories often, inside your own community and from the wider history of the church. Every telling reactivates the founding charism a... Continue Reading ## [Christian Optimism in Dark Days](https://theaquilareport.com/christian-optimism-in-dark-days/) _2026-08-22 · Keith Evans · The Aquila Report_ In the midst of such bleak realities, the Bible calls us—in these very same sections of Scripture—to faith and hope despite everything we see around us. That is what marks these faithful Christians of old as ones of whom the world was not worthy. It is hard to be hopeful in dark days....

Rider · The Aquila Report_ We are to be men and women filled with the Word. So much so that it controls us. We are to set our minds on things above and to let the word dwell in us richly. This is the knowledge. After that we begin to think differently and then we live differently. This is the... Continue Reading ## [Dear Younger Pastor, Don’t Rush](https://theaquilareport.com/dear-younger-pastor-dont-rush/) _2026-08-22 · Darryl Dash · The Aquila Report_ Preparation time isn’t wasted. Take as long as you need to lay a solid foundation for your ministry. But I also made this mistake in a second way. I rushed the changes I wanted to see within the church. Dear younger pastor, Please learn from one of my biggest mistakes. Please don’t rush.... Continue Reading ## [The Demons Who Devour Babies](https://theaquilareport.com/the-demons-who-devour-babies/) _2026-08-22 · Greg Morse · The Aquila Report_ They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. (Psalm 106:36–38) They sacrificed their sons... Continue Reading ## [Can Discovering Ourselves Help Us Discover God?](https://theaquilareport.com/can-discovering-ourselves-help-us-discover-god/) _2026-08-22 · John Beeson · The Aquila Report_ God has given us many identities (the New Testament, in particular, is loaded with them), and they all point not only to who we are, but to who he is. To understand who we are is to better understand who God is and to live the abundant life he has intended for us. ... Continue Reading ## [What should being a Christian feel like?](https://theaquilareport.com/what-should-being-a-christian-feel-like/) _2026-08-22 · Michael Jensen · The Aquila Report_ Our culture despises repetition as inauthentic and hollow; but the repetition of the words of a liturgy can be the opposite. In fact, if you make everything spontaneous, it quickly shows itself to be empty. Repetition allows words, and the acts that they perform, to become part of us. As we confess, or give thanks,... Continue Reading ## [Tough Love on Steroids](https://theaquilareport.com/tough-love-on-steroids/) _2026-08-22 · Mike Slay · The Aquila Report_ When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 5:1–5...

God’s design is to make the pie double or triple or quadruple in size, over and again. God’s design for cultivating the garden so that humans flourish is for mankind to have...

Time both in the word and in prayer provides cleansing and prepares for service. For Eric Liddell and for every believer, these remain the secret of our strength. The Secret of Eric Liddell’s Strength It is... Continue Reading ## [Literal or Symbolic? Reading Revelation Responsibly](https://theaquilareport.com/literal-or-symbolic-reading-revelation-responsibly/) _2026-08-21 · Benjamin L. Gladd · The Aquila Report_ John didn’t intend for Revelation to be read in light of CNN or Fox News. He wanted the local news to be interpreted in light of Revelation. God is at work in the world, and he gave us this precious book to discover it on our journey to the new heavens and earth. Without...

A few months ago I was doing some genealogical work, and it’s got me thinking a lot about the Quakers because, for many generations, my ancestors were...

Weak men and women are all God has to work with. God uses weak men and women who trust in Him to bring up children in the fear of the Lord. And God, as a our perfect Father in heaven, does the miraculous work of salvation. Everyone...

There is not one of us who deserves anything from God! In the end, the only right way to respond to grace is to express amazement that God has given us grace at all. Big Idea: Grace isn’t a paycheck; it’s...

And by supporting those things that are ungodly, I’m an enemy of God. But because I have reduced this idea to just supporting a geopolitical nation, I’ve completely missed the point.” The transcript below...

Walk with God. It’s not legalism to be really serious about doing these things. And deciding not to do these things deprives us of innumerable blessings. Finally, Paul says, Walk humbly with God. There are actually two ways we think of walking. One is with the emphasis on where you’re... Continue Reading ## [Existential Crisis and the Antidote](https://theaquilareport.com/existential-crisis-and-the-antidote/) _2026-08-21 · John Stonestreet and Thaddeus Williams · The Aquila Report_ Bold and clear evangelism—pointing to the resurrected Jesus as the only one big enough to save us from sin and satisfy our deepest existential longings—is precisely what our increasingly nihilistic age needs. A 2026 study found that one-third of Americans are currently experiencing an existential crisis of meaning, including 39% of Millennials and an... Continue Reading ## [Faith Under Fire](https://theaquilareport.com/faith-under-fire/) _2026-08-20 · Anthony Faggiano · The Aquila Report_ To remember the Huguenots is not merely to honor the past. It is to anchor our present convictions in the gospel they so dearly loved and were willing to die for. Their legacy calls us to live with courage, to serve faithfully, and to trust the sovereign God who carried them through the fire. ...

In a day when the very idea of truth, much less authority, is in such debate, it... Continue Reading ## [Hidden Martyrs of the Faith](https://theaquilareport.com/hidden-martyrs-of-the-faith/) _2026-08-20 · Troy Appleton · The Aquila Report_ Christians read often of the exploits of 19th century missionaries like Hudson Taylor who went to China, and William Carey who took the Gospel to India. But for every great missionary we know there are hundreds whose names and work for the Kingdom of Heaven will never be known this side of eternity. The 19th... Continue Reading ## [Scripture’s Answer to Our Waywardness and Wandering](https://theaquilareport.com/scriptures-answer-to-our-waywardness-and-wandering/) _2026-08-20 · Jonathan Gibson · The Aquila Report_ Instead of being wayward and wandering, we are to be wary and watchful; we are to struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil, and we are to pursue “holiness without which no one will see the Lord”. In short, united to Jesus by faith, we are to strive for a closer walk with... Continue Reading ## [Is There Such a Thing as ‘Righteous Anger’?](https://theaquilareport.com/is-there-such-a-thing-as-righteous-anger/) _2026-08-20 · Paul Carter · The Aquila Report_ If we are to take the New Testament witness seriously, then we must agree that anger is neither an appropriate attitude nor a strategy for the disciples of Jesus Christ. The New Testament writers seem to speak in an unqualified way about the danger of anger in the life of the believer and the... Continue Reading ## [All Our Boast Is in Jesus](https://theaquilareport.com/all-our-boast-is-in-jesus/) _2026-08-20 · Davy Ellison · The Aquila Report_ Through the gospel, Jesus becomes our brother, the new creation our home, and perfect righteousness our destiny. The salvation we’ve experienced can be the joyous experience of others—if only we boast in the Lord and not in ourselves. If only all our boast is in Jesus. All of us have an issue with boasting.... Continue Reading ## [Ahab’s Abomination](https://theaquilareport.com/ahabs-abomination/) _2026-08-20 · Michael Mock · The Aquila Report_ When the Son, who is the Truth, shows you the Word of his Father, which is truth, by the Spirit of Truth, do you reject it? Like Ahab, you may think it’s harmful and an “evil word” to your heart, but the real harm lies in rejecting the Word of Truth, even God himself. ... Continue Reading ## [Reinventing the Sabbath](https://theaquilareport.com/reinventing-the-sabbath/) _2026-08-20 · John Stonestreet and Timothy D Padgett · The Aquila Report_ We often think of the Sabbath as a burden instead of a gift. But as Jesus said, man was not made for the Sabbath; the Sabbath was made for man. And that is because God is for us, not against us. A recent article by science writer Elizabeth Svoboda at the Wall Street Journal...

We do not settle in with sin. We fight and we kill it. Mortification of Sin It is both relief and heartache to know that all true believers have sin remaining in them in this life. The apostle... Continue Reading ## [Bearing the Unbearable](https://theaquilareport.com/bearing-the-unbearable/) _2026-08-19 · Peter Rosenberger · The Aquila Report_ Compassion enters suffering. It does not eliminate the sufferer. If suffering is merely random, ending the sufferer’s life can masquerade as mercy. But if a sovereign God rules over this world, suffering is never meaningless or beyond His reach. Christianity rejects that counterfeit compassion. We entrust ourselves to Christ and enter the burdens of others.... Continue Reading
