Kevin and Bill discuss options for slowing or stemming the river of baby blood flowing out of our nation. They ask: is a revival and reformation based on God's law utopian? In the meantime, what privatized solutions are there for limiting and preventing abortion? What is the root reason most women kill their babies? Is involvement at the state and national level worth it? And what can we do individually?

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 80 Psalm 121 Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN Pastor's Website: https://theparchment.net/ This devotional examines Psalm 121, clarifying that true help originates from the Lord rather than pagan idols located in the surrounding hills. The speaker emphasizes that God, as the Creator of heaven and earth, provides constant protection and never slumbers or sleeps while watching over His people. The sermon highlights the reliability of Jehovah as a covenant-keeping God who shields believers from evil and guides their daily lives. It contrasts the impotence of false gods with the active, ever-present care of the living God who redeems and sustains His followers. Ultimately, the message encourages trust in divine providence for all circumstances of life.

What happens when the church stops trusting herself to help her own people—and hands the job to the therapist's couch instead? In the 1970s, one pastor's book sold a quarter of a million copies by daring to say pastors and elders were still competent to counsel their flocks from Scripture alone. In this first episode of a four-part series, Dr. Jared Poulton joins Jared Luttjeboer and Dr. Alan Strange to trace how the biblical counseling movement was born out of a head-on collision between the rise of secular psychology and the church's calling to shepherd souls—and why the "alphabet soup" of counseling organizations it spawned still shapes what pastors, elders, and even your church library look like today. Whether you've never heard the term "nouthetic counseling" or you've read every Paul Tripp book on the shelf, this episode will change how you see the counsel happening in your own congregation. Next episode: the man behind it all.

Covenant Theology #2

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 79 Psalm 120 Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN Pastor's Website: https://theparchment.net/ This devotional explores Psalm 120, a Song of Ascents that contrasts the pursuit of peace with the reality of spiritual warfare. The speaker highlights how the psalmist cries out to God in distress from deceitful tongues and hostile environments, finding deliverance through divine intervention. This text serves as a profound reflection on the ministry of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, who endured similar scorn and mockery while offering reconciliation to a hostile world. Believers are encouraged to recognize that attacks for the sake of the gospel are ultimately directed at Christ himself, who promises vindication. The message concludes with an exhortation to pray for enemies and trust in God's justice rather than seeking personal revenge.
