Holes in Our Sermons
It is easy enough to grumble about what goes on at the giant church down by the interstate. It could be that there you’ll find the prosperity gospel at its most crass. Maybe the pastor has a fleet of exotic … Continue reading

Seeing Beyond The Shadowlands
It has long been my contention that the Reformed church never quite got over the Enlightenment. While we rightly reject this premise and that conclusion at the heart of the Enlightenment experiment, we still drink deep of its spirit. We … Continue reading

Power Preaching
All those who preach want their preaching to have impact. I suspect that in all those who preach, this desire is born of a mixture of two other desires, the desire to have congregants and the kingdom blessed, and the … Continue reading

Smart is Not a Fruit
Leave it to Reformed people to miss the point. When Paul describes the body of Christ as a body, part of which includes hands, ears, and so forth, we are quick to mark our territory — we are the brain … Continue reading

Pilgrims to the Promised Land
I doubt there are many believers who don’t want to go. I believe there are fewer still who have gone and aren’t glad they did. I doubt as well, however, that those who haven’t gone know well enough what they … Continue reading

What is biblical theology?
Given that our theology ought to stem from God’s revelation of Himself in His Word, one might expect that biblical theology is simply sound theology, theology that matches the Bible. While sound theology is biblical, the adjective “biblical” here has … Continue reading

Who Is My Brother?
Conservative Christians seeking a way to encapsulate our most fundamental political commitments came up with “family values.” We vote “family values.” We support “family values” candidates. Even the left has noticed, countering our language with this bit of bumper-sticker wisdom: … Continue reading

The Silence of the Lambs
The world, Paul tells us, knows what’s coming. He not only highlights the universal guilt of all men, but ironically defines that guilt as the denial of what we know. We know that there is a God, and that we … Continue reading
