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

First Church of the Not So Bad
We are adepts not at fighting our sins but hiding them. We gather each Lord’s Day dressed in our smiles, share our praise reports and our health concerns, pat ourselves on our backs, and return home to our gross and … Continue reading

Ask RC- Why is the church so full of phonies?
It is my habit when asked “Why is the church…” to look for what is often the obvious answer, that the problem is people, and not at all exclusive to the church. This is certainly true in this case, that … 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- Does God want everyone to be healthy and wealthy?
Yes, and no. I have often said that one thing the prosperity preachers have right that so many of us miss is this- because of Jesus our heavenly Father delights to bless us. What they have wrong is they have … Continue reading

Ask RC- Did Jesus suffer the Father’s wrath for all sinners, or just for the elect?

Ask RC- What is Sonship theology?
Sonship theology is a set of biblical notions originally propagated by Jack Miller, a former missionary and pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America (former because Jack has gone on to his reward.) The ideas were first spread through a … Continue reading
