Rich Lusk on why Christian education must be centered on Christ:

“Jesus Christ is the point of integration. Jesus Christ ties it all together. Jesus alone makes life and reality make sense.”

Math and science, literature and history, art and music all belong to Christ. Christian education doesn’t simply add Jesus to an otherwise neutral curriculum; it teaches our children to see all of reality in his light.

Watch this clip from Rich’s recent sermon on Christian education. The link to the full sermon is in the comments.

Last night was a significant milestone in the life of Trinity Presbyterian Church as Trinity Classical Academy gathered for its first Orientation Assembly and Open House. Seeing classrooms prepared, teachers ready to teach, families meeting one another, and voices raised together in song made tangible something we have prayed and worked toward for a long time.

TCA is not simply another program we are adding to the life of the church. It is part of what we are building for the generations to come.

We believe God is the God of generations, and that Christian faithfulness requires us to think beyond the immediate moment. We want to build institutions that help families raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord - children formed in Christian worship, grounded in Scripture, trained to love what is true, good, and beautiful, and equipped to serve Christ faithfully in every sphere of life. As we have said from the beginning, TCA exists to extend the theological, liturgical, and covenantal culture of TPC into the classroom and, from there, into the world.

The school cannot replace the home or the church, nor should it. Parents remain chiefly responsible for the Christian formation of their children. But a faithful Christian school can come alongside parents in that calling, helping cultivate knowledge, wisdom, virtue, maturity, and a way of life fitting for the kingdom of God.

Last night gave us a glimpse of that vision taking flesh. Next week, Lord willing, the classrooms will fill and the work will begin.

We are grateful and very excited.

By God’s grace, we are building for our children, our children’s children, and the kingdom of Christ.

Join us for an evening celebrating the gifts God has bestowed among us. Trinity has been blessed with a remarkable depth of talent—musical and otherwise—and tomorrow night we’ll have the opportunity to enjoy those gifts together, give thanks, and encourage one another.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The importance of the Jewish Question is vastly exaggerated.

Answering the "Jew Question" is not the solution to our cultural ills.

Remove the Jews, and all the same problems remain.

The Fourth is coming up in a few days, and “American Revolution” may not be quite the right name.

Pastor Rich Lusk argues that America’s break with Britain was not a French-style revolt against Christendom, but a covenantal, Protestant, Calvinistic resistance to tyranny. This is what some in Britain called “The Presbyterian Rebellion.”

Happy almost Presbyterian Rebellion Day.

Some people call it the American Revolution. Others call it the War for Independence. I call it by it’s proper name: The Presbyterian Rebellion. The problem with the label “American Rev…

One question that comes up from time to time is “Why does TPC take communion seated?”

This may not seem like a big deal, but the proper posture for the Lord’s Supper has caused serious debate in the history of the church, and continues to be an issue over which different Christian traditions are divided.

Yes, the Puritans did believe the conversion of the Jews would be the capstone of the Great Commission, based on Romans 11:25-26.

But their point was not that ethnic Jews were special; their point was Jews would not be left out of the promised global Christianization that was coming.

The “Puritan Hope,” as Iain Murray called it, was not some kind of nascent dispensationalism, as some have suggested. It was just historic postmillennialism, including the view that the…

Holy Week is upon us, and we invite you to walk through these days together.

Maundy Thursday | April 2 | 6:00–7:30 PM
We gather for a feast at the Lord's Table, remembering the night Christ instituted his Supper, took the cup, and prepared himself for the cross.

Good Friday | April 3 | 7:00–8:30 PM
We pause to contemplate the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, who bore our sins in his body on the tree.

Easter Sunday | April 5 | 10:00 AM
We proclaim with the whole church: He is risen.
Come and worship the risen King!

Suffering first, then glory. We hope to see you this week.
