The Spirit of Rebellion in His Church
Though I haven’t the infernal wisdom that C.S. Lewis demonstrated in his classic work The Screwtape Letters, I think I know something about at least some of the devil’s stratagems. The Screwtape Letters, you remember, purported to be a series … Continue reading

The Madness of the Method, or Losing the Lost
“You can’t turn back time.” “There’s no stopping progress.” It’s interesting the way we manipulate words. It’s certainly true, I suppose, that you can’t turn back time, and that there’s no stopping progress. But somehow these truisms have come to … Continue reading

No Believer Could Ever, or, Logs-in-Eyes ‘r’ Us
It’s election season again, which means I once again enter into that weird phase where my ideological friends regularly make me cringe. Sometimes it’s over the top rhetoric in favor of some guy on the red team, other times it’s … Continue reading

What should I expect from my local church?
It is an easy thing to grumble about the marketing mentality of so many local churches. Rather than taking direction from God’s Word we take it from sociological studies, surveys, and sage savants. What we often miss is that churches … Continue reading

Why is it important to be a member of a local church?
While it is true enough that the concept of the invisible or universal church has its place, that place is not where a believer can hold membership. The Word of God calls on us to not forsake the gathering together … Continue reading

What’s the ideal size for a local church?
The Bible doesn’t say. So neither will I. I will concede that different sizes have differing advantages and disadvantages. We live in the era of the mega-church. Churches that measure their membership in the thousands are positioned to support many … Continue reading

Love One Another, Because He is In Us and Them
Do we not glide happily past this command? It should, though it doesn’t, go without saying. There’s no question that the Bible teaches this. There’s no question that the Bible emphasizes this. There’s no question that we’re not very good … Continue reading

Stewarding Our Failures, Robust Dividends
When one invests his money wisely he ends up with more money. When one invests ones failures wisely he ends up with fewer failures. We don’t tend, however, to look at our failures as assets. We see them as burdens, … Continue reading
