I hate injustice. Do you know who hates injustice more? God hates injustice so much that He became flesh and traveled to the cross to take upon Himself the full penalty for injustice. He did that to spare us from what the evildoers will face with terror.   Approaching a large man working a booth... Continue Reading

Jesus, the Seed of the woman, is the greater Job who endured the temptations of the evil one and who wrestled with God in the Garden. He is the ultimate Servant of the Lord (Isaiah 42:1) who would suffer in order to justify His people (Isaiah 53:11). Like Job, Jesus cried out to God in... Continue Reading

The church is not called to be ever changing or seeking to become culturally relevant.  Cultural relevance makes the church biblically irrelevant. The call of the Christian and the church of Jesus is to be consistently reforming from the deforming effects of the culture.   What does it mean to be always reforming? The statement is rooted...

For sure, Washington needs to be captured by the gospel. So does Wellington, so does Sydney, so do dozens more. But I wonder if we’ve forgotten something important? I wonder if we’ve focussed too intently on special people for special places? I wonder if the slow moving rivers of this world, and the people who live there, are waiting... Continue Reading

Why?   I’ll be honest right from the start, I’m growing weary of hearing about Critical... Continue Reading

Because sin is so serious, so awful, so devastating to a soul, we are to exhort one another every day. And sometimes, for any number of reasons, we need more than exhortation. We need rebuke. And if we see sin for what it really is, we should embrace, even rejoice in, good rebuke.   How we... Continue Reading

One of Scripture’s culminating visions is Revelation 4–5. It is a breathtaking vision in which the triune God is seen in all his glory, holiness, authority, sovereignty, and self-sufficiency. In this vision, we are reminded about what is truly central and important: the Lord on his throne and the Lamb who was slain. In every... Continue Reading

The reason LGBTQ+ groups hate conservatives is that, according to them, we are denying their humanity. Of course, that is not what we think we are doing. But for them, they do not have humanity unless they can force everyone else to acknowledge that their definition of humanity is correct.   I just finished reading Carl... Continue Reading

I hope the taboo on neither falls, but I think we have to accept that the conceptual framework for holding those things in place has long since vanished. So be shocked, but do not be surprised. If...
