Mark Jones has written a good piece on the recent controversy over statements made by Pete Enns' unsurprising and Bruce Waltke's rather surprising comments concerning evolution. Moreover, Jones offers some helpful thoughts on the effort to harmonize evolution and biblical faith. Those who refer to...

The International Cinephile Society has posted their picks for the top 100 movies of the 1990's . In at number one is "The Thin Red Line" which is pretty shocking to me since I would not have rated it in the top 50.

I remember about ten years ago hearing for the first time from C.J. Mahaney a vision for the Christian life and the church that was "Gospel-centered." It was like a conversion experience for me.

In particular Trueman responds to Waltke's assertion that unless we (theological conservatives) get with the program...

From Ref21 : Seven thousand men, half of whom appear to be under 35, gathered together to sing traditional hymns and avow orthodox theology in lectures that would test a seminary student. What is it that gives this conference (T4G in Louisville, KY) such charisma -- no, not the presence of...

Did the apostle Paul preach the same message as that of Jesus? This question pops up periodically. Theological liberals say "absolutely not! Jesus preached kindness, justice, and love. He preached ethics not doctrine. Paul was an angry, misogynistic theologian who invented the doctrines of...
