To and From, or Into Our Father’s Open Arms
It may be the most overlooked moment of deep horror in all of the Bible. Not the eating of the fruit itself. Plenty of horror there, but it’s not overlooked. Rather it was the response of our first parents to … Continue reading

The Scandal of the Gospel in a Graceless World
All of us, both within and without the church, face the temptation of being legalists when dealing with others’ sins against us, and antinomians when dealing with our sins against others. We want those we have perceived to have wronged … Continue reading

Run Away, Run Away- The Wisdom of Fleeing Temptation
There’s a reason he’s called the rich, young fool. Though he was wise enough to ask the right person, Jesus, his question, “what must I do to inherit eternal life” he was fool enough to claim, after Jesus reminded him … Continue reading

“A Young Lady,” An Old Story of Ongoing Sin
Like so many others I find myself taken aback by the recent resignation of Robert Morris, senior pastor of the massive Gateway Church in Texas. Morris resigned his position after it was made public that when he was a young, … 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

Are believers justified by their election?
Of course not. The way some of my fellow Reformed folk talk at times it might seem some think so. The way some non-Reformed folk talk at times, it might seem that they think we think this. But we don’t. … Continue reading

Joy in the Mourning at the Table of the Lord
Reformed people can be odd ducks. Too often, we are a contentious bunch, given to arguing esoterica for the sheer fun of it. We give answers to questions that few are asking and ask questions where others are certain. When … Continue reading

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
