The Burden of Man-Centered Evangelism
Men have made a burden of evangelism not designed by God. Where Jesus’ yoke is easy, men have made it heavy. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Rom 1:16) and it pleased God to save them who believe by the foolishness of preaching (1 Cor 1:21). The method of preaching itself […]
How Giving Up or Stopping Door-to-Door Evangelism Will Grow or Build Your Church
Many people, like me, have discovered or concluded that door-to-door evangelism will cause your church to get smaller. I haven’t seen other churches doing it around here and some of them have gotten huge in part by leaving it out. The really big churches almost exclusively would be against door-to-door evangelism. Being here for […]

You Are What You Allow
Sandwiched in Judah between Uzziah and Ahaz is Jotham, tucked away for 16 years in 2 Kings 15:32-38 and 2 Chronicles 27. 2 Kings 15:34 says “he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD.” He did right. Case closed, right? No. Doing right isn’t all there is to it, that […]
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 […]
