A Bigger Tent than God: Douglas Wilson, “Doctrinal Works,” and the Salvation of Roman Catholics
A pastor often responds to whether he thinks so and so is saved, sometimes even biblical characters, such as Saul, or in another specific way, if Peter was saved by this certain point in his life. And then a corollary, have such and such historic or modern figure been saved: Luther, Wesley, Billy Graham, Mark […]
Reverence and Solemnity: Essential Aspects of Biblical Worship, part 7 of 8
Fourth, the lyrics of all songs offered to the Lord in His worship must be “the word of Christ” (Col 3:16). They must either be the perfect songs of the Psalter—every psalm, and every line of every psalm of which ought to be sung in the church of God—or hymns that are God’s Word […]
1 Corinthians 11:2-16, Headcoverings, and Historical Doctrine
Every Christian should admit that Paul gives a lot of verses, 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, to the subject of dress, among others in the New Testament, but especially to headcoverings. We should know our position on headcoverings. I’ve written a book, yet to be published on dress. I want it out and promise you, Lord-willing, that […]
The Free Flesh (“Grace”) Movement
Salvation is free — no doubt. It’s not by works — no doubt. However, the free grace movement doesn’t represent biblical grace. From the perspective of a lost person, what a deal. Not only is there no works involved, which is a deal, but he gets to keep his old life too! He doesn’t give […]
Reverence and Solemnity: Essential Aspects of Biblical Worship, part 6 of 8
Furthermore, the Biblical requirements of regeneration and uprightness limit who is to be set up as an example in public worship. Pastors, song leaders, choir members, and all others involved in any leadership capacity in the corporate worship of the holy Trinity must be regenerate and holy people, as both the song writers and worship […]
Gospel Troubles
I sympathize with the troubles of fundamentalists with the so-called gospel centered. However, I likewise puzzle over the inconvenient trouble of fundamentalist association with false gospel. They lose their moral authority to confront evangelicals. Before you branch out with exposure and repudiation of false gospel elsewhere, do so closest to home. I ask myself, “What’s […]
More About Prayer VII
You can get to links to previous parts of this series here. ************************* Prayer is a basic spiritual discipline in and for the Christian life: Bible reading or study, church attendance and involvement, and prayer. So we want Christians, our church members, including baby believers, to understand what prayer is and how to pray. On […]
Reverence and Solemnity: Essential Aspects of Biblical Worship, part 5 of 8
V. Applications of the Fact that Reverence and Solemnity Are Essential Aspects of Biblical Worship The fact that reverence and solemnity are essential aspects of Biblical worship has tremendous consequences for the practices of Christ’s earthly congregations. First, it is evident that “worship” that is not solemn and reverent, but is superficial, foolish, thoughtless, […]
The NFL: Moral Relativism and Violence Against Women
The National Organization for Women, I noticed, is calling for Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League, to resign his position. They’ve got to have something to do, so this seems as good as anything to them. The issue is getting a lot of attention because of the Ray Rice video now that […]
Attacking the “Fundamentalists”: Bravo to John MacArthur and David Cloud, Bombarded by C. J. Mahaney and Fred Butler
When an evangelical wants to take a shot at someone, he will call him a “fundamentalist.” That’s supposed to be an ultimate insult. I read it coming from two men aimed at two preachers in the last three or four days for the same reason. In one, I read C. J. Mahaney affronting John MacArthur […]
