The Duggars Under Fire

The latest issue of People magazine has the Duggar family featured in its cover story. The Duggars, as you probably already know, are a large family also featured in a reality television show with Mom (Michelle), Dad (Jim Bob), and their now 19 children. The aforementioned magazine cover has a picture of Michelle and Jim [...]

Trusting God’s Judgment

Many in our culture seem to have the attitude that God owes us something, that He is lucky to have us around doing good works, etc.  Those, particularly in the west, seem to also thing that we are entirely self-sufficient.  We forget that not only is Christ the One who sustains us, (Colossians 1:17) [...]

The Distinction Between Liberal Religion and Fundamentalist Faith

I can’t say it is very often (if at all in the past) that I would find myself saying “Amen” to something that Christopher Hitchens, the author of God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, would say.  In an interview between atheist Hitchens and Unitarian minister Marilyn Sewell he says something I can [...]

Saved from What?

Michael Horton in The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World looks at the question of "saved from what?” in light of the various theories of the Atonement, as the answer varies among Christians today.

He then offers his answer.

Christ’s work is completed in the context of the [...]

The Drama Is Not Dull

Why is it that in search of being “relevant,” the church has often substituted moralism for the drama that unfolds in scripture?  Why is it that we focus more on marriages, our purpose, stewardship and countless of other items that wind their way into sermons rather than “the greatest story ever told” [...]

A Christmas Invasion

We are all familiar with invasions with Iraq and Afghanistan.  I remember the invasion of Grenada when I was a kid.  Those older than me will certainly remember D-Day and Pacific theater invasions of Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.

Two thousand years ago an invasion took place as well.  Chuck Colson in his book [...]

What God Foreknows

I decided while waiting for an appointment that I’ll get a discussion going on God’s foreknowledge based on this passage from C.S. Lewis from his book The Problem of Pain reflecting on why God put Abraham’s faith to the test by commanding him to offer his only son Issac:

If God then is omniscient, [...]

What Child Is This?

One of my favorite Christmas Carols is “What Child Is This?” was discussed in church today.  Written in 1865 by an Englishman William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) who was the manager of a marine insurance company in Glasgow, Scotland.  He wrote more than 40 hymns over the course of his life.

The video [...]

Preparing for Life by Being Prepared for Death

A few days ago I read in The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World by Michael Horton something that is so true.  We aren’t, as a culture, really prepared to live.  Why?  Because we aren’t prepared for death.  Dr. Horton explains:

We are not really prepared for life [...]

At the Heart of Christianity is Good News

What is at the heart of Christianity?  It isn’t moralistic teaching.  It isn’t advice that we are given on being “better people.”  It isn’t the “Golden Rule.”  Michael Horton in his new book The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World answers this question:

At its heart, then, Christianity [...]
