Let Few of You Be Teachers

I recently read with interest an article by Donald Miller in which he blames "teachers and scholars" for the divisions within evangelicalism. He is almost certainly wrong. Miller makes a classic error in pitting "practitioners" against teachers and scholars. His argument runs something like this:...

In an article posted today at the White Horse Inn Michael Horton makes the case for the Resurrection of Jesus as a necessarily historical event. Read it HERE . Look forward to seeing many of you in the morning. He is risen indeed!

When I was serving as a youth pastor in Oklahoma I took a group of high school seniors to one of the early Passion conferences in Austin, TX. What I was unprepared for was the message that would be preached by John Piper. His message to some 6,000 students was not how to date in college or how to...

So Carl Trueman is a bit of a cynic. This is not to criticize the man. I count Carl as a friend. What is more, Carl is the first to acknowlege his tendency toward cynicism. He is a Brit after all and our friends from across the pond consider cynicism to be a virtue. Still, Carl is fun over lunch...

In reading Love Wins there are times when I cannot help but almost feel sorry for Rob Bell. Almost. His use of the Scriptures is either incompetent or purposely misleading. But I don't know when the last time was that I read a book which was guilty of so many fallacies in biblical interpretation...

The Four Holy Gospels

I've been trying to figure out an excuse to buy Crossway's beautiful collector's edition of the Gospels . It is illustrated by renowned artist Makoto Fujimura.
