Extra: An Evangelical Uses the Term “Separatist”
It would be easy to take a cheap shot, but I actually want to give positive notice for Phil Johnson’s usage of the word “separatist” over at his very hip, innovative, very relevant, and popular evangelical blog. To remind you, Phil is the executive director of Grace to You, John MacArthur’s multi-media wing. He used […]

Intimidating With Bigness
Evangelicalism faced a recent premise challenging event when two Gospel Coalition members invited modalist T. D. Jakes to their Elephant Room conference. If evangelicals are about the gospel and they don’t get that right, they don’t have anything. This is my fourth installment offering analysis of this event (first, second, third). **************** Another obvious element […]
“God Told Me”
One of the defenses of James MacDonald for his reception of modalistic T. D. Jakes at his Elephant Room exposed a common error of evangelicalism and fundamentalism, often used to justify many actions. It was a distortion then echoed by The Gospel Coalition at the time of MacDonald’s exit. I hear and read these types […]

The Trojan Horse of Racial Reconciliation
On Monday, I wrote about the situation in evangelicalism with T. D. Jakes. In reading the transcript of the meeting between MacDonald, Driscoll, and Jakes, the first two licked the boots of the latter. Sycophantic soft balls were tossed with the infield backing away from routine ground balls. Is that the way it really has […]
How Did “Old Time Fundamentalists Act When Their Leaders Did Stupid Things”?
Both evangelicalism and fundamentalism are interesting to watch. And in a day in which everything is easier to view because of the internet, it’s even more fun. Evangelicalism, or maybe what could be called conservative evangelicalism, right now is involved in a larger-than-usual controversy. It is an event that is challenging the entire premise […]

Jockeying for the Most Spiritually Dead or Most Spiritually Unable Position
When I present the gospel, I tell people that they are dead spiritually (Ephesians 2:1, 5). It’s true. And I also believe that spiritual deadness is spiritual inability (Romans 3:10-12). Men don’t seek after God. Men, who are in the flesh, cannot please God (Romans 8:8). However, those two truths must be understood in […]
A Universe from Nothing
Last week I mentioned that when I dropped my daughters off for piano lessons, I waited at a Barnes and Noble and looked at A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing. Living and working in the area I do, just north of Berkeley in the SF Bay Area, I talk to […]
