Pro Tem means "for the time being." This is the first edition of a daily series of contributions designed to guide you to some useful, Reformed resources to read.
Reformed Approach to Evangelism
Monergism's monthly focus is on evangelism. Why is it that Reformed people have been stigmatized for not being evangelical? Although much of these accusations are unfounded, there is still some genuine criticism to be found in these claims. In this article, Riddlebarger provides historical and cultural explanations for this stigma as well as putting forth a positive, Reformed position on evangelism that involves understanding and presenting the Biblical narrative of creation, fall, and redemption. The chief end of evangelism, Riddlebarger writes, is the glory of God and not the salvation of souls.
The Discipline of Fellowship
Mark Driscoll writes an excellent piece on the need for Christian fellowship and how it is rooted in the intratrinitarian love of God. He provides a list of Scriptures that encourage us to seek intentional involvement with the body of Christ.
Ecclesiastical Myopia
R.C. Sproul's article from the November issue of Tabletalk comments on the parochial tendency of the church to see the sum and substance of the Christian faith as confined to our borders.
Christmas Gift Ideas?
Westminster Bookstore is offering Paul David Tripp's When Sinners Say I Do for less than $10. This is the most Biblically balanced treatment of the subject of marriage I have read. I highly recommend it as a Christmas gift idea for family or friends. It is inexpensive and edifying.
