A Strategy of Mission (ARBCA Circular Letter) – "We must practice a ‘regulatory principle’ for missions that calls us to submit even our inherited practices of missions to the searching scrutiny of the living Word of God. "

B.B. Warfield’s essay on “The Apocalypse” – B.B. Warfield's "The Apocalypse" is one of the most helpful articles on the hermeneutics of the book of Revelation

Fear of Men by Nicholas Batzig – The fear of man is not simply the fear of the harm that men may do to us. Surely the fear of harm partly drives our desire to be approved by men. However, most properly, the fear of man is, as Bunyan put it, “the fear of losing man’s favor, love, goodwill, help, and friendship.” Simply put, it is “an idol of approval.” We seek to avoid persecution because of “idols of approval,” “comfort,” or “pleasure.” These idols lead us to compromise in order to gain approval—to give in to wickedness in order to gain acceptance and peace. It puts us in a vicious cycle of idolatry. Miserable though it is, the fear of man is the soul’s default setting.
