A Modern Perversion of the Temple
This could be a part two to Monday’s post that dealt with Shepherd’s Conference and Carl Trueman and more. *************** The Lord Jesus entered Jerusalem to great exaltation, as superficial as it might have been. It was true. He was King. He was Lord. He had a royal agenda. He rejected the religion of the […]
An Irretrievable Irony
Last week, I watched a little of the live stream of the Shepherd’s Conference in Southern California. It was the technically best live streaming I had ever seen, very convenient. I saw very little because of work and schedule, but I did see a little music, some of a panel discussion, and some of an […]
Are Calvinism and the TULIP Dangerous Errors?
I am going to continue my series on “The Just Shall Live by Faith,” Lord willing. I thought, however, that it would be appropriate to take a one-week break and post the following analysis of Calvinism. In relation to the points of the TULIP of Calvinism, Scripture teaches that man is pervasively and awfully depraved […]
The “Fundamentalist Practice of Separation”?
I’m glad Fred Butler is even thinking about separation, let alone talking about it. It’s rare to have an evangelical say anything about it. They usually are attacking separation (as they are here), but you’re thankful for whatever you can get. At the ETS in San Francisco, I asked the panel why no books on […]
Don’t Fix Stupid: Stupid Doesn’t Need Fixing
God hath chosen the foolish (stupid) things of the world to confound the wise 1 Corinthians 1:27 In last week’s discussion about the blood, we had seen how someone said (and since retracted the pejorative) about people who took a certain position that disagreed with him, “You can’t fix stupid.” There’s a lot I could […]

How Does the Blood of Christ Come into an Explanation of the Gospel or Salvation?
Please read parts one and two of this now series. ******** At the dinner table and in family devotions this week, I talked about what the blood of Christ does for us at salvation. I have a wife and three kids at that table now. One daughter is a freshman in college, but she’s at […]
The Story of the Blood Issue (from my Perspective)
In 1983, Moody Press published John MacArthur’s Hebrews commentary. That summer I read it completely, all the way through. I had never heard anyone explain “the blood issue,” so MacArthur filled a bit of a void for me. I had really no view and now I had read one. By default, I took the MacArthur […]
Are You Stupid If You Believe the Blood of Christ Isn’t Merely Human?
Make sure to keep up with Thomas Ross’s series on saving faith. **************** Over twenty-five years ago, while I was in seminary, I wrote a paper on the blood of Christ which was something very close to John MacArthur’s view. I got the paper back and a “B+” was on the front. As I read […]
