Dialogue about Separation: The 2008 Dever-Minnick 9Marks Interview part one
Not often can we eavesdrop on a conversation about separation between a well-known evangelical and fundamentalist. When Mark Dever interviews Mark Minnick as part of the 9Marks organization, we can, and I did. A Duke graduate and PhD from Cambridge, Mark Dever is senior pastor of the SBC Capital Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC. […]
Romans 10:9-13: Are “Confess” and “Call” Post-Justification? part five
THE PRODIGAL SON: A CASE STUDY IN PRE-JUSTIFICATION CONFESS AND CALL In Luke 15, Jesus answers an accusation of the Pharisees with three stories—a story of the lost sheep, then the lost coin, and finally the lost son.

I’m arguing for the perfect preservation of the NT in the textus receptus. He’s arguing against that. We’re […]
Update on the Obama “Bitter” Comment
You can read the previous post for context, but in the televised debate against Hillary Clinton for the Pennsylvania primary, Obama had another opportunity to clear up his “bitter” comment. This was his “clear up”: The point I was making (last week at a private San Francisco fundraiser) was that when people feel like Washington’s […]
What’s Being Missed in the Obama “Bitter” Comment
In a context that is fairly longer, Obama said this: It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. He said it at a fundraiser to big-city, liberal donors […]
