Most of us have seen it. The evangelical preacher appearing on Larry King Live who is asked the inevitable "gotcha" question: "Do you believe that everyone who does not believe in Jesus will go to hell?" There have been many cringe worthy responses over the years to that question. Kevin DeYoung has...

Good post from Rick Phillips concerning an article in Christianity Today which offered an analysis and critique of Together for the Gospel: Once while worshiping at a church in Africa, I heard a woman preaching the health-and-wealth gospel.

Justin Taylor recently interviewed Eric Metaxas concerning his new biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Bonhoeffer knew what was going on with the...

The following is an important observation from an article by Michael Horton: I’ve argued elsewhere that evangelicalism is like the village green in older parts of the country, especially New England. There may be two or three churches on the grounds, but the green itself is a wide open space where...

Mark Jones has written two excellent articles ( Here & Here ) on the compatibility of darwinian evolution and Christianity. The articles were spurred on by the recent dust up at RTS over Bruce Waltke's video for the Biologos Foundation. Darwinists like [Francis] Collins claim that evolution is...

From Ref21 : Seven thousand men, half of whom appear to be under 35, gathered together to sing traditional hymns and avow orthodox theology in lectures that would test a seminary student. What is it that gives this conference (T4G in Louisville, KY) such charisma -- no, not the presence of...

The blogosphere has been set ablaze since the resignation of Bruce Waltke from Reformed Theological Seminary. Dr. Waltke, an Old Testament scholar for whom I have a great deal of respect made a regretable video for Biologos, an organization which seeks to advance the theory of evolution among...

Anthony Bradley has a good piece in the latest issue of World entitled "Calling" vs. choice" in which he challenges the ease with which contemporary Christians spiritualize the choices they make. Here’s the bottom line: the Bible simply does not generally use “calling” to justify everyday choices...

I remember about ten years ago hearing for the first time from C.J. Mahaney a vision for the Christian life and the church that was "Gospel-centered." It was like a conversion experience for me.

With the passage of "Obamacare" it is almost a certainty that those Americans who pay taxes will be forced to subsidize abortion. Only the most naive will conclude that the President's executive order will provide any protection for the tax payer. This raises serious questions about the nature of...

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for fall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are...

From Al Mohler: The Christian faith is not a mere collection of doctrines — a bag of truths. Christianity is a comprehensive truth claim that encompasses every aspect of revealed doctrine, but is centered in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And, as the apostolic preaching makes clear, the Gospel is the...

I recently reviewed Tom Schreiner's excellent Magnifying God in Christ for The Gospel Coalition . I have a simple rule of thumb when it comes to Thomas Schreiner: If he writes it, I read it. I have been sharpened by his commentaries on Romans and 1&2 Peter . His book on the doctrine of the...

The Christian Science Monitor recently ran an article that has been getting some attention throughout the blogosphere. It is about the renewed popularity of Calvinism.
