The Covenant of Redemption Should Be a Problem
It seems that people don’t really care that much about doctrinal differences. The degree of ambivalence rivals a paper or plastic decision at the supermarket checkout. You’re far more likely to get a reaction over confronting the doctrine. Let it go. And then it’s not just letting it go, but give it a listen. […]
Gagging at Yukkiness
A mini-kerfuffle erupted recently in evangelicalism over a reaction to same sex relations. Among conservative evangelicals, Thabiti Anyabwile is well known. He wrote a post at his TGC blog, entitled, “The Importance of Your Gag Reflex When Discussing Homosexuality and ‘Gay Marriage’.” The title explains the underlying issue.

The third is the most popular, what has most been called The Prodigal Son, which is actually the story of two sons, a rebellious […]

Who Loves Jesus?
I talked to someone I know really well and knows me really well, who also knows other professing Christians very well. This person I know really well is not very discerning, but he thinks he’s very discerning, which is a bad combination. I’ve met other people like that. If they don’t change, it doesn’t turn […]
Pandering: The Actual Tie that Binds Most of American Churches
It’s attributed to professional baseball player Mark Grace, “If you’re not cheatin’, you’re not tryin’.” Christians can’t support that particular credo. Christians aren’t supposed to cheat. It’s not Christian to cheat. But Christians do. Pandering is a type of cheating. Jesus has His will. He has a way church is to be accomplished, how people […]
