The Prophet, the Well, and the Wardrobe: The Bible’s Call to Gentle Restoration
In his epistle, after a barbed warning against false teachers amid the congregation, Jude suddenly takes a gentler tone: “Have mercy on those who doubt” (v. 22). This is not so different from the Pauline admonitions about sinners: that for the fallen, we ought to “restore him in a spirit of gentleness” (Gal. 6:1), and that “the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone …, correcting his opponents with gentleness” (2 Tim. 2:24–25).

Alistair Begg on Reaching the Next Generation with the Gospel
Dear Friend,
A year ago, I had just returned from Sydney, Australia, where I had enjoyed the privilege of speaking for the Anglicans at their CMS Summer School. My thoughts have been very much there, as I know there are thousands presently attending the 2026 event. They have gathered in the Blue Mountains, known for sandstone cliffs, eucalyptus forests, and charming towns like Katoomba, to hear from God’s Word and to learn of the work of mission throughout the world. I could easily have succumbed to nostalgia, were it not for the fact that I was spending the opening days of this new year in Louisville, Kentucky.
