This Sunday I am preaching on the doctrine of adoption from Romans 8. With that in mind I thought I would post some thoughts from the good Reverend Spurgeon on adoption from Galatians 4:6. Now, also, saith the apostle, we are heirs—"Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son,...

In 2008 Westminster Seminary crafted an excellent statement of "Affirmations and Denials" regarding the Scriptures. I encourage you to take time to read it.

"Missional" is a word that has come along in recent years with great excitement in many cases. Pastors, churches, and even seminaries have been bold to proclaim themselves "missional." The problem is that it is a frustratingly slippery word. Brian MacLaren defines it one way and Mark Driscoll...
