Why is the church so biblically illiterate?
Because we in the pulpits do not preach God’s Word, and we in the pews neither read nor study God’s Word. There is no great mystery. We have not because we ask not. And when we do ask, we ask … Continue reading

One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One Church
The Bible is organic. The Bible is true, and as such is consistent, coherent, and comprehensible. And the consistent, coherent, and comprehensible truth is, it’s not ordered as a systematics text, far less as a book of church order. It … Continue reading

The Blessing of Blessings- Why We Hunger for the Benediction
I, along with many others, hopped on the liturgy bandwagon back in the day. I haven’t, in fact, hopped off. I have, however, come to a more modest understanding of the relative merits of high liturgy. Having spent the better … Continue reading

What does the temple teach us about the church?
The New Testament is chock full of warnings against going back to the shadows, to maintaining all those elements of worship that Jesus fulfilled. Yea and amen says me. It is a mistake, however, to utterly separate Old Testament temple … Continue reading

Why is the church so chock full of phonies?
It is my habit when asked “Why is the church…” to look for what is often the obvious answer. The problem is always people, and never exclusive to the church. This is certainly true in this case. Not only is … Continue reading

Why is there such a divide in the church on racial issues?
Most of the time when men of good will disagree it stems from competing strategies. We agree on where we want to go. We disagree about how to get there. In this instance, however, while we surely agree where we … Continue reading

What is the church, the ekklesia, called out from?
There are two Greek words that are translated “church” in our English Bibles. The first, kuriake, comes from the root word Kurios, which means “Lord.” The “kuriake” are those who belong to the Lord. The second is ekklesia, from which … Continue reading

What’s wrong with house churches? Crowning Ourselves
Not a thing, if we mean by “house church” a church that meets in a house. One can make all manner of arguments about the best architectural forms for public worship, but no one, I suspect, would suggest that this … Continue reading

What are the “high places” in the church today?
As one reads through the history of Judah and Israel it is hard to miss the truth that Judah was blessed with many more good kings than their neighbors to the north. Often, however, these good kings do not escape … Continue reading

Why is the evangelical church so full of pretense?
I’m no behaviorist, but I don’t need to be to understand this truth- that which you punish you get less of, and what you reward you get more of. We don’t like punishment, and seek to avoid it. We do … Continue reading
