His study found that 1,844 women were serving in pastoral roles in 1,255 SBC churches.    The Southern Baptist Convention passed an... Continue Reading

As we pull apart and trace these threads of salvation, Sinclair Ferguson cautions us that “the traditional ordo salutis runs the danger of displacing Christ from the central place in soteriology” (The Holy Spirit, 99). Each aspect of saving grace was not only secured by Christ, but comes to us only in living relationship with him. Each... Continue Reading

Since the fall of Adam, all men are sinners by birth, by nature and by practice. Fallen man... Continue Reading

Whenever we talk about God’s law we have to keep in mind that the nature of the law has not changed regardless if we consider it under the covenant of works or the covenant of grace. It’s not the law that changes, it is us.    Today in our catechism lesson we’ll be doing something... Continue Reading
