From the editorial of the last Reformed Herald- So, what do we Christians do with this supreme disappointment?  What do we do, knowing that all sorts of infringements on our religious liberty are coming?  Dear Christian, we do what God’s people have always done.  We worship.  We worship our Creator, Redeemer, and Judge.  We worship because we remember.  We remember God’s promise to His elect, like that found in Malachi 3:6: “For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed.”  Though earth’s judges may change, though popular opinion may change, the Lord Who created us and the institution of marriageRead More →
