What are the three stages of church planting?
I am a veteran of church planting, having planted three churches over the past thirty years. I have as well given counsel to others planting churches. One thing I am quick to explain is that there are two difficult phases … Continue reading

What should I look for in finding a church?
A Church First, that it be a church. The Reformers argued that there are three distinguishing marks of the church- the Word, sacraments and discipline. That means your campus ministry isn’t the church; your podcasts are not the church; your … Continue reading

What’s wrong with expositional preaching?
Not much. Here is yet another place where we ought both to define our terms and to put the question in context. The majority of pulpits in this nation are filled with people sharing their own personal thoughts, with sprinklings … Continue reading

One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One Church
