NOTE: Our guest blogger is Rev. Charlie Abbate, pastor of Cornerstone Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Ambler, Pennsylvania. "Well what's going to happen to her?" I asked. "You know what'll happen to her," my wife answered back. "Then we're going to host this girl." At that moment, my wife and I...

In the last couple of days I've read through 'John Stott - A portrait by his friends' , edited by Chris Wright and published by IVP. There are some fascinating insights into the man and it's an excellent read. I profoundly disagree with Stott's ecclesiology. Unlike my friend and Anglican...

News has reached us in the UK that just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Christian bookstore, there's another festschrift in the water weighing in at 400 pages! This time it's DA Carson's turn. It's surely well deserved and the man has done great things. His commentaries are...

But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate...

So, that guy Levy likes three Americans -- Don Carson, Tim Challies (both of whom are Canadians) and David Wells (technically, from Zimbabwe). Now, geography may not be his strong suit, but I mean, what about Thomas or Trueman or Duncan? Where's the love Levy?

Our good friends over at Reformed Forum kindly interviewed Rick Phillips and me about our new book These Last Days . If you're not familiar with Christ the Center, stop by and take a listen! In addition to our recent chat, the guys do a great job interviewing some of our favorite theologians on a...

I am often accused of being anti American but that isn't true. I'm a big fan of some Americans: Don Carson, David Wells, Tim Challies to name just 3. My favourite American of the moment is Steve Smallman. Steve has written a terrific little booklet on What is Discipleship?. It's aimed at church...
