Review: A Life of Joy
The heartbeat of A Life of Joy is Miller’s conviction that true and lasting satisfaction can only be found in Jesus Christ. If we are united to him, we will joyfully submit to the Triune God in every circumstance. We will never be content if we live for the things of this world; everything it has to offer is fleeting, insubstantial, and changeable. But if we trust in Jesus Christ, value him above all else, and view our lives through the lens of biblical truth, we will be content.

Review: The Not So Loving Side of Gentle Parenting
In this short paperback, The Not So Loving Side of Gentle Parenting, Justin L. Miller seeks to expose the unbiblical foundations of ‘Gentle Parenting’ and point Christian couples back to the Bible as the only sufficient guide for family life. ‘Gentle Parenting’ isn’t a harmless, loving way to raise your children. It’s dangerous, and Christians who adopt its philosophy put their children’s spiritual lives at risk.

Editorial: Fear God, Not Providence
When the Lord appoints circumstances we would never choose, our hearts instinctively rise with questions, fears, and anxieties. Yet Scripture repeatedly presses one great lesson upon us. Do not fear providence, fear God.

Law and Gospel Explained: A Three-Part Series | Tom Hicks
In this three-part lecture series, Tom Hicks explains the biblical distinction between law and gospel and its importance for justification, sanctification, preaching and the Christian life. Drawing upon Scripture, Reformed covenant theology and the Marrow Controversy, he defines law and gospel, examines the errors of legalism and antinomianism, and applies the distinction to Christian obedience, assurance, pastoral ministry and everyday discipleship.

New Year Devotion: How Do You Respond to Christ’s Birth?
As a new year begins, we instinctively take stock of time past and time ahead. Threshold moments like this invite reflection on what has been given, where it has come from, and how we have responded. Scripture itself invites us into that same consideration by drawing our attention to the timing, the place, and the response surrounding God’s greatest gift. In doing so, it presses us not toward sentimentality, but toward honest reassessment before God as we enter another year under His rule.

The Christmas Equation: Glory in Humility
This short devotional meditation reflects on a pattern Scripture reveals in the birth of Christ. The early chapters of the Gospels invite us to slow down and look again, not merely at familiar scenes, but at eternal realities revealed through them. A manger, angels, shepherds, wise men — these are not sentimental details, but signposts pointing us to the glory and joy revealed in the fulfilment of God’s promises.

Enjoy The Work: Christ is Beautifying His Bride
Here is my final piece of advice in this series, though I could easily go on: enjoy the work God has given you to do. Far too many ministers limp through their calling weighed down by burdens, frustrations, and complaints. But step back for a moment and remember what you’ve been entrusted with — there is no higher, richer, or more rewarding task in all the world.

Preach Grace: The Gift Only God Can Give
Here is my next piece of advice, particularly to those (often younger) leaders with much zeal—preach grace. You cannot give your people what they most desperately need. Only Christ can. What is the resolution? Preach grace!

Seek Association: The Necessity of Inter-Church Communion
As I continue this series, my next piece of advice is simple, but often overlooked: be associational. In a time when ministry is increasingly privatized, isolated, and self-contained, this counsel may seem almost counterintuitive. But it’s not optional. It’s necessary. If you want to endure in gospel ministry—and help your church do the same—then seek association.
