Sibling Rivalries
There are people who preach a false gospel of prosperity. There are people who are bought by the blood of Christ who believe wrongly that God wants us all to be healthy and wealthy. There are people who teach a … Continue reading

Let No Man Tear Asunder
My favorite theologian of all time was known to argue that the defining quality of the theologian is to make distinctions. That’s what we do. We bring clarity through precision, precision through distinction. That man who may well be my … Continue reading

Unearned Praise
When I served as editor in chief of Tabletalk magazine I committed my share of gaffs. I received more than a few sweet natured but school-marmish notes about why this semi-colon should have been a colon, or why further was … Continue reading

Ask RC- Did Jesus suffer the Father’s wrath for all sinners, or just for the elect?
Just for the elect. This truth is hard for some people for what seems like a good reason- It shows God treating people unequally. If Christ’s atoning work covers only some people, doesn’t this somehow make God unfair, treating one … Continue reading

Books? You have books here?
Not that is would surprise any of you, but technology is not my strength. As such I am dependent on others whose skills surpass mine. This website would not exist were it not for the good work of my friend … Continue reading

Ask RC- How can I be sure Jesus won’t say to me “Depart from Me” on the last day?
You can’t make that sure, which is one of the keys to understanding this text. Assurance of salvation is one of the most common pastoral challenges, and understandably so. It matters, forever. And we struggle with sin until the day … Continue reading

Ask RC- What does 1 John 2:2 – “And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world” mean?
My hero and teacher, Dr. John Gerstner, in dealing with one of the errors of dispensationalism, its rejection of the doctrine of limited atonement, referred to this error as, “beating the ‘L’ out of TULIP.” Though we believe the five … Continue reading

Before the Foundation of the World- Unconditional Election
Once there was God, and nothing else. This stretches the mind. It is doubly difficult because we first try to imagine vast expanses of nothing, a sort of infinite sea of black. But there is no expanse, and there is … Continue reading

Wellness Check
How do you know you’re getting better? The answer may well be a potent clue in determining just how sick you are. A miser, for instance, judges his health precisely by how much wealth he has managed to hoard, the … Continue reading
