Today I departed from our series through Hebrews to deal with Jesus' words in Matthew 6:19-34. The title of the message is Money, Treasures, and Eternity and can be listened to or downloaded HERE .

Phil Johnson has weighed in on Rob Bell's notorious Boston Globe interview with characteristic straighforwardness. One thing is clear: Bell himself is no true evangelical in any historic sense of the term. The Boston Globe's headline ("Bell aims to restore true meaning of 'evangelical'") is exactly...

I was recently visiting the website of All Souls Church in New York. All Souls is a well known and historic Unitarian Universalist church. One of the many things that saddened me as I perused their webpage was the bulletin of a recent Sunday morning service. In the bulletin was printed a revised...

I have been looking forward to the re-release of John Wenham's Christ and the Bible . Now it is finally available HERE . This is what Mark Dever says about it in his annotated bibliography on inerrancy: I’ve saved the best for last. If I could just recommend one book on the inerrancy of the Bible...

The following is Mark Dever's message from the God Exposed Conference at Southeastern Baptist Seminary. Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington D.C. is one of my heros. When I was a new and terribly green pastor of a new Southern Baptist Church it was Dever and IX Marks...

"The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to...

Boyce College (the undergraduate college of Southern Seminary) hosted an excellent panel discussion on the topic of eschatology. Among the issues discussed is Dr. Schreiner's recent move from amillenialism to premellenialism. Listen HERE .

Okay, I know this may ruffle a few feathers. Nevertheless, Michael Haykin has written an excellent atricle on the Baptist/Calvinist connection. While an answer to the question of where Baptists came from has yet to reach a widespread consensus among Baptist historians, few of them would be prepared...

“I formulate the Gospel this way: it is information issuing in invitation; it is proclamation issuing in persuasion. It is an admonitory message embracing five themes. First, God: the God whom Paul proclaimed to the Athenians in Acts 17, the God of Christian theism. Second, humankind: made in God’s...

It seems that in every election cycle those of us who will not, indeed cannot vote for a pro-abortion rights candidate are chastised as being myopic, too narrow, single-issue voters. Of course, everyone has a single issue over which they will separate from a candidate but that is another post...

From Jonathan Leeman over at Church Matters : "Mistakes Pastors Make When Practicing Church Discipline" 1. They fail to teach their congregation what church discipline is and why to practice it. 2. They fail to teach about and practice meaningful membership. This involves cultivating a culture of...

Tremper Longman, whose work I truly appreciate, has recently stated that the Genesis account does not insist on believing that Adam was an historical person. My conviction is that Scripture clearly teaches the historicity of Adam. James Anderson has posted an excellent response to Dr. Longman by...

Michael Horton's follow-up to his excellent "Christless Christianity" is now available. "The Gospel-Driven Life" promises to be an important book. From the Publisher: In his well-received Christless Christianity Michael Horton offered a prophetic wake-up call for a self-centered American church...

Does God's sovereignty extend even to the pain we experience? Is His good providence at work in cancer, job loss, or abandonment? Can we trust that God is both in control and good when life hurts? This Friday at Church of the Saviour Steve Estes will be addressing these kinds of questions. Steve is...

As a Texan I have always been a fan of David Robinson, "The Admiral." He was a truly great player but he is also an exceptionally decent man. Robinson was recently inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. His speech is worth listening to for it provides a model of humble Christian dignity.

So what do you think? What does this say about our ecclesiology?

Roe V. Wade is bad law. Technology has done nothing put bolster the argument that an undborn child is precisely that - an unborn child . National surveys have shown that a greater percentage of Americans identifty themselves as pro-life than did in 1973. Considering these facts, why is it that...

Worn Arguments? "And though we've made progress, there are still fellow citizens, perhaps neighbors or even family members and loved ones, who still hold fast to worn arguments and old attitudes, who fail to see your families like their families, and who would deny you the rights that most...

From Richard Phillips : I’m sure many of our readers have seen or heard about Michael Spenser’s article, picked up in the Christian Science Monitor, “The Coming Evangelical Collapse.” I strongly agree with his overall perspective, while perhaps quibbling on some details. Michael Bell has followed...
