What worries you most about your ideological friends?
What worries you most about your ideological friends? The same thing that worries me most about me. We are overrun by the cowardice of paper prophets. These thundering heroes build a following and a reputation by denouncing with great vigor … Continue reading

A Sound Principle
Good exegesis will tell us that bad conclusions do not burst forth de novo from bad exegesis. It is valuable, important, even potent for us to have a good grasp of sound hermeneutical principles, to be on our guard against … Continue reading

Being Jesus
Because we are the heirs of the moderns, metaphors tend to slip right by us. To be sure, we know how to recognize a metaphor. Jesus tells us that He is the door, and we puzzle for a moment trying … Continue reading

The Gates of Hell Advancing
The feint is a rather critical part of any battle strategy. There are few occasions where a direct, unambiguous assault will work out well. We want instead to keep our enemy guessing, unsure as to whether we will be coming … Continue reading

One of the weaknesses of the evangelical church in our day is that we tend to look at our salvation as a process, like we’re moving down an assembly line. There are good reasons for this perspective, not the least … Continue reading
