What Did Jesus Do After the Resurrection?
The forty days between the resurrection and ascension were far from silent.
It’s important for us to understand that the forty days following the resurrection weren’t a pause in the plan—they were a pivotal part of it. Jesus stayed to prove He was alive, to confirm the Scriptures, to deepen the faith of His followers, to mobilize the disciples for mission, and to prepare us for His... Continue Reading
The Rise and Fall of Russell Moore
It’s Time to Say, “No Moore”
Publicly disavowing Russell Moore at this point in time is not about one man. It is about fidelity, even if it means saying hard things about one we once counted as “one of us”. It is speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) to warn the beloved bride of Christ of a present danger. Far... Continue Reading
On Near Misses, Tragedies, and Theology
Thinking biblically about some big questions.
How God can be sovereign, while humans are genuinely responsible for their actions is hard for us to fully comprehend. But the truths of God’s sovereignty, human culpability, and Satan involvement are all fully taught in Scripture. Our job is not to try to completely figure this out with our fallen and finite minds but... Continue Reading
The UK Victory Is Not the End of the Transgender Culture Wars
Let’s be clear: trans activists are not the victims of cruelty but the perpetrators of it.
The UK Supreme Court decision is a victory, but it is not the end of the transgender culture wars. It may, however, be the end of the beginning—at least, in the UK. “Transwomen” are not women. That is no longer a dissident declaration, subject to potential prosecution and social ostracization. It is a statement of... Continue Reading
The Historical Foundations of Confessionalism
Confessions are biblical, historic, and practical.
As we survey the history of the Church, we see that it has been confessional. The confession of Christ has been the bedrock of the Lord building the Church for the last 2000 years. As Peter confessed that Jesus was the Christ, the son of the living God, so Christians from the day of Pentecost... Continue Reading
Does Having Rules Make Us Better People?
Paul points out that the law does not actually lead to life, to being right with God.
God’s rules are good. The law is perfect. The problem is us; we are not perfect, not by a long way. We must not focus on the rules, for they can never save us; they were not designed to do that. Instead, we should focus on Jesus whom the law leads to. It is only... Continue Reading
Can I Pastor the Traumatized?
Four Features of Christ-Centered Care
If you choose to be the primary point of regular pastoral care and counsel…get to know the person, find ways to quiet the body, retell their story in and through Christ, and offer help for living in the present. Also consider meeting with a trusted, well-informed adviser for ongoing consultation.…While you have the utmost confidence... Continue Reading
A Man’s Words
Careless words can cause pain, misunderstanding, and confusion.
It is said that much of communication is non-verbal, but God has designed humans to be creatures of words. Do not underestimate the impact your words have on the people around you. Always strive to glorify God, build up others, and point others to the Scriptures. Words are important things. Think of how words... Continue Reading
The Kingdom of God Is Reality Because the Son Has Risen
Jesus is the One True King of heaven and earth.
The Son has risen. Jesus is King. He’s advancing his kingdom in this world, and we have the privilege every day of bowing the knee to him, of surrendering our lives, and submitting and proclaiming his message so that others would give their lives to his reign and his rule. Look Up The kingdom of... Continue Reading
AI: Is It a Gift of God or a Tool of the Devil?
In theory AI could mean that we need no more journalists, drivers, artists, writers, musicians, stockbrokers, lawyers and preachers. In reality that would be a disaster.
Human beings are made in the image of God—computers never will be. We can use them as tools to glorify God, or to promote the Devil’s work. But at the end of the day our task remains exactly the same in the 21st century as it was in the first—we proclaim Christ “admonishing and teaching... Continue Reading
