Answering David Cloud on the Church, pt.1
David Cloud takes a lot of grief from people for no good reason. Most of what he has to say is good and true and the people attacking him on most occasions take cheap shots. I think some of his biggest detractors agree with him on 90%, but they don’t like him for three reasons […]
Good, “Evil,” and Evil, “Good”
Isaiah (5:20) wrote: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! This “woe” comes more to mind more with the disintegration of American culture. People are deceived and lack discernment or they outright lie. They […]

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.

Anyabwile, an African American evangelical pastor in Grand […]

The Myth and the Hammer of a Second Kind of Legalism
Some might say we’re just talking tomAto or tomAHto (who cares!), but if we were, I don’t think an evangelical like Andy Naselli would have written this. In the aforementioned linked article, Naselli refers a second time within a short period to a second kind of legalism, as defined by another continuationist, Sam Storm. […]
Why Doesn’t Tim Keller Include the Younger Son?
[For info, watch this conversation starting at 8 minutes, and then this.] Jesus tells three parables in Luke 15, all about losing — losing a coin, a sheep, and then a son. The third is the most popular, what has most been called The Prodigal Son, which is actually the story of two sons, a rebellious […]
