I was glad to see some some constructive dialogue in the comments section of Tullian Tchividjian's reply to my critique of his article on total depravity and Christians . Let me say at this point (even though I look forward to the day when such statements are not necessary) that: 1) I bear no ill...

I've had one of the oddest and most encouraging weekends in a long time. Friday morning saw us meet as a church planting committee for presbytery. It was a pretty humbling meeting. One of our church plants in central London has had to close and it's been painful all round. Pete Harris, who's the...

My former professor and dear friend Dr. Sam Waldron has written a new book which looks like it will be very helpful for all Christian husbands and fathers. These are the topics which are covered: TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. PRIESTLY MINISTRY - The Heart of Christian Service 2. THE SCRIPTURAL WARRANT - Old...

I can take many things from Carl but fashion advice is not one of them. For those of us who know him of yesteryear you will remember the red boots, plus the phase he went through of wearing semi spandex t shirts, you know the type, a kind of lycra running top that glistens and are just a little too...

Angus T. Jones, one of the stars of American sitcom Two and a Half Men , has gone online to explain that he no longer wants to participate in the show, describing its contents as "filth," as reported by the BBC . I do not know anything much about the programme, the actor, the church, or the...

Over at the Gospel Coalition, Trevin Wax has warned us against what he calls the Puritan paralysis : that crippling, morbid self-analysis - what Mr Wax calls hyper-introspection - that directs all our spiritual attention toward self and our efforts rather than toward Christ as the object of saving...

Our friend and fellow contributor, Dr. Dariusz Brycko alerted us to this very important work on Calvin. Dr. Brycko writes: "I have the privilege of volunteering as international secretary at the University of Warsaw's Committee on the Reformation in Poland and East-Central Europe, formed in 2008 by...
