Reformation21

....since I posted anything or anyone mentioned Lady Gaga on the ref21 page. Thus, in the interest of smashing the default chauvinist consensus so offensively articulated by the Trinity of Evil, Trueman, Trotter, and Levy, I am back by popular demand (thanks, for writing in, mum!). Further, in...

Rick Phillips: The Family Privileges Working from Luke 11:11-13, and other texts, Rick Phillips taught us about the tremendous privileges of being adopted into God's family. The first such privilege is the tender care we receive from our Father. Rick reflected on the relationship between earthly...

Derek Thomas: Behold, What Love! In a warm, passionate manner, Derek Thomas introduced us to the doctrine of adoption. A quote from Calvin helped set the tenor for the address, "the first title of the Spirit is the Spirit of sonship." Thomas helped us understand that while the Fatherhood of God is...

We just finished up a convicting, encouraging pre-conference. In a manner similar to a good hard run, I was simultaneously exhausted and refreshed at the end of it - but in my spirit rather than my body. Rick Phillips led us through an exploration of the image of God as reflected in gender. Drawing...

Paul Levy's unwarranted attack on the camera presence of Derek and Jeremy is gratuitous and hurtful. Here is an excellent video the Magnificent Two made some time ago, for the Alliance, on how to protect oneself in the rough and tumble of an inner city urban church-planting environment. Regular...

Probably the greatest preacher of the 20th century but also possibly the worst documentary presenter in history can be viewed here Dr Lloyd Jones is so wooden in this video he makes Derek Thomas and Jeremy Smith look like Larry King and Piers Morgan.

What is the preacher to do with hell and eternal punishment? In our day and age these truths strike some as comical and others as cruel. To some, hell is a joke. It's about little devils in red tights (so teach the cartoonists). It's a place where illicit pleasures are indulged (if we believe the...
