SB May 1 Issue Sneak Peek - Caring Compassionately for One Another

Our covenant God who dwells with us has designed the church to live in community. When the church lives in community as God designed, she practices this with a culture of compassionate care for suffering and sinning saints. And it is sweet! It is a great joy in our lives! When we fail to practice this compassionate care, fellow saints are further hurt and their suffering increases. Therefore, I am writing to encourage us to care for one another in the church and to seek this care in the local congregation and in the broader church world because this is God’s design.

Book Review - "Worthy of Reflective Thought"

It is apparent that much attention has been given to draw the rest of Scripture into the commentary. I myself intend to sit down to read the commentary as a devotional over many days, allowing the Wisdom of Solomon to do its work....Ecclesiastes, A Reflective Exposition would be a good addition to the library of any Christian who wishes to dive into the riches of "Wisdom Literature" for himself or to help others to do so.

Book Reviews - The Amazing Cross and The Royal Sufferer (When I Survey)

The following review was written by Wm. Hendriksen on the books The Amazing Cross (1943) and The Royal Sufferer (1945) by Herman Hoeksema. Both of these books have recently been republished in the Lenten anthology When I Survey... (Jenison, MI: Reformed Free Publishing, 2025). This brief review was originally published in the September 21, 1945 edition of The Banner. 

Book Review - Called to Watch for Christ's Return

In his book, “Called to Watch for Christ’s Return”, Rev. McGeown lays out a detailed explanation of the biblical teaching of the end times, as it was given by Christ himself in what is known as the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24-25).

Why Reading Matters: Hope RWC Interviews Author (and Reader) Chuck Terpstra

Why does the work of the RFPA—that is, publishing accessible, widely available Christian books which testify to the truth of Scripture in the Reformed tradition—matter, in the grand scheme of things? Why should reading matter to Christians? Last summer, the Hope RWC podcast aired 4 interviews with author, reader, librarian, and archivist Chuck Terpstra to explore the importance of reading, for Christians of all ages and vocations.

Jehovah Afflicted In All Our Affliction

Jehovah’s love and pity do not end in inaction: we read, “he saved them.” Specifically, “The angel of his presence saved them” (v. 9). Literally, the angel of his presence is the angel of his face. The face of Jehovah shows us his demeanor, disposition, or attitude displayed toward us. Jehovah’s face is against the wicked, but when we look into Jehovah’s face in faith we see love and pity: we see affection, sympathy and compassion.
