The Local Church: God’s Program for Evangelism and Discipleship

Dear Brother or Sister in Christ, Is there a relationship between your local church and discipleship? I’m not asking about the discipleship program at your local church, I’m asking if God might mean for the church to be the discipleship program. Is there a relationship between your local church and evangelism? Again, I’m not asking …

Should We Expect to Cast Out Demons Like Jesus Did?

Justin Taylor posts his notes on what looks to be a very informative book on this topic by David Powlison. I highly recommend a careful reading of Taylor’s notes on Powlison’s book, which address the question posed in the title of this post. Here’s a teaser in the hopes that you’ll read the whole thing: …

Why Pursue a More Liturgical Form of Worship?

Justin Taylor linked to two articles that have, each in their own way, vindicated my preference for a return to a more liturgical form of worship. As I wrote a couple years ago (how time flies!): Let us pursue a contemporary—stylish but not faddish, historical—orthodox but not dank, theological—deepening but not boring, and, most importantly, …

Ringing the Bell for the Next Generation: Voddie Baucham’s Family Driven Faith

Many American churches are in many ways more American than they are Christian. This is reflected in the way that the “Christians” in these churches—and their kids—think about the world. For many, sitcoms, movies, and pop culture have a greater influence on what is considered relevant than does the Word of God. The standards by …

Does the ETS have as much backbone as the Tyndale Fellowship?

The issue is not exactly as posed in the heading of this blog, but surely the members of the Evangelical Theological Society can stomach the doctrinal basis of the Tyndale Fellowship. Denny Burk and Ray Van Neste are trying to make the boundaries of the Evangelical Theological Society more clear, and they’re adapting the doctrinal …

Atheistic Inconsistency

Tim Challies (DR for Discerning Reader) interviews Douglas Wilson (DW), and here’s a profound question and answer: DR: In Letter from a Christian Citizen you continually show where Harris is inconsistent with his own ideology. Is there any such thing as a completely consistent atheist? DW: That’s the fun thing. No, there is no such …

John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace, by Jonathan Aitken

John Newton has received a good deal of attention this year, as the 200th anniversary of  the abolition of the slave trade in England has been celebrated with books and a movie about William Wilberforce. Newton was something of a spiritual support for Wilberforce, and he gave key testimony to parliament on the evils of …

Is Blomberg Right? Does 1 Timothy 2:12 Merely Mean Women Can’t Be Elders?

The short answer is no, but that has to be substantiated. In his book From Pentecost to Patmos (363-65), Craig Blomberg writes regarding 1 Timothy 2 (italicized statements below are his): Verses 11-15 next call on the women of Ephesus not to supplant the male role of leadership in church. Verses 11-12 define this role …
