Al Mohler has written an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal . Not surprisingly, Dr. Mohler clearly communicates God's standard on sexual ethics revealed in the Bible. There is no moral squishiness here. We believe that God has revealed a pattern for human sexuality that not only points the...

Dr. Mohler writes: One of the lessons learned in this sad spectacle is the fact that enough Republican senators changed their positions on the issue under intense pressure, thus enabling the passage of the legislation. The same was true for the minority of Democratic senators who had previously...

In a recent interview Phil Johnson was asked, "What is the biggest problem facing evangelicalism today and how should we respond?" Johnson answers: The greatest problem I see is the ever-broadening boundary of the evangelical movement and (corresponding to that) the increasingly ambiguous...

From Carl Trueman: [Evangelicalism] seems less sure of its identity than at any point in its history. I never cease to be shocked by how little I have in common with many others in the United Kingdom who now claim the name evangelical. One can deny that God knows the future, one can deny that the...

From Kevin DeYoung : John 16:12-15 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you . (v. 14) If last week we looked at the importance of following Jesus with more than words, today we look at how our words about Jesus still matter. The work of the Holy Spirit is to take “...

"The fundamental fault of the modern Church is that she is busily engaged in an absolutely impossible task--she is busily engaged in calling the righteous to repentance. Modern preachers are trying to bring men into the Church without requiring them to relinquish their pride; they are trying to...

Many years have passed since the serpent deceived the woman. His work, however, continues. And, as you will notice, the deception often seems so plausible; so positive. The following video is an exercise in how to completely undermine the Word of God while professing to love it. [youtube http://www...

Michael Horton is one of our brightest theologians. Recently Dr. Horton lectured on Rob Bell's new book "Love Wins." Check it out HERE .

From a message by Michael Horton: Our mission is qualitatively different from God's mission. God sends us on a mission, but it's a different mission than the mission he sent his Son on. It's different from the mission he sent his Spirit on. The Son could redeem the world. We can't. Again, loose...

So, I am minding my own business, catching up on a few blogs I like to read and God hits me square in the middle of my sinful heart. The following is from a post by Tim Keller : I have always found Jesus’ words in Matt 5:21-22 to be shattering. He begins by reminding his listeners that anyone who...

Doug Wilson sees the Anthony Weiner, ahem , situation as a sign of God's providential good humor. Indeed, he wonders how atheists can maintain their disbelief in the face of such a clearly crafted comedy of fools. He goes on to refer to his friendly sparring partner Christopher Hitchens' article on...

Last week I posted John Piper's long-awaited interview with Rick Warren . Many people have responded positively to the demonstration of brotherly love and camaraderie displayed by the two men. Indeed, these are two men who clearly love Jesus and hold each other in high esteem. Anyone familiar with...

John MacArthur: Servant of the Word and Flock by Iain Murray is now available at WTSbooks for $18.30 (30% off). When I started in ministry, I committed myself to expository preaching, just explaining the Bible, because I knew that there was nothing I could say that was anywhere near as important as...

"Indifferentism about doctrine makes no heroes of the faith." - J. Gresham Machen Take time to read Al Mohler's helpful essay A Call for Theological Triage and Christian Maturity .

As many of you know Robert Schuller's famous Crystal Cathedral filed for bankruptcy last year. Now a developer is purchasing the campus for the purpose of building apartments on the site. Check out the story HERE . I can't help but wonder what we need to learn from this. Is it just an unfortunate...
