It Is Time For Cultural Apologetics – Pt. 1

Our rising generation desperately needs to be trained in cultural apologetics, the theological analysis of contemporary culture using terminology that speaks to this new, de-christianized situation.

Written by Peter Jones | Thursday, September 29, 2016

How interesting that via these different terms of “holy” and “holism” we come back to our starting point, the fact of only two religions, Oneism or Twoism. Oneism is a form of spiritual holism where everything is included—including God. Twoism is the very essence of holiness, where things are not confused but have their special,... Continue Reading

Distinguishing Among the Three Persons of the Trinity within Reformed Tradition

I do not think the talk of “roles” is the best way to speak of the eternal distinctions between the Persons of the Trinity

Written by Kevin DeYoung | Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Traditionally, the way in which the Persons of the Godhead have been distinguished—and they are distinct (which suggests three hypostases) not different (which would suggest another ousia)—is not by roles or by eternal relations of authority and submission, but by paternity, filiation, and spiration. To put it another way, the Father is the Father (and... Continue Reading

Toward a Better Reading: Reflections on the Permanent Changes to the Text of Genesis 3:16 in the ESV

We’re concerned that this new rendering repeats the very mistakes that led to the formation of the ESV in the first place

Written by Wendy Alsup and Hannah Anderson | Wednesday, September 28, 2016

As users of the ESV, we have always known that the translation of the ESV occurred in context of concerns about gendered language. We understood the concern as such: Because Bible translators can read meaning into gendered words based on current sociological agendas, we want to be constrained by the actual words of the text...

Would You Rather Have Blood Filled Hands or Beautiful Feet?

The task is simple – we are called to be faithful.

Written by Jordan Standridge | Wednesday, September 28, 2016

The contrast is staggering: on one hand the unfaithful ambassador who doesn’t share the truth fills his hands with blood as person after person he had a chance to share truth with but didn’t dies in their sin. On the other hand is the faithful preacher who shares the truth and has beautiful feet as he... Continue Reading

Does Prayer Change God’s Mind?

Does prayer make any difference? Does it really change anything?

Written by R.C. Sproul | Tuesday, September 27, 2016

“The very reason we pray is because of God’s sovereignty, because we believe that God has it within His power to order things according to His purpose. That is what sovereignty is all about—ordering things according to God’s purpose. So then, does prayer change God’s mind? No. Does prayer change things? Yes, of course.”  ... Continue Reading

For the Bible Tells Me So: Biblical Authority Denied … Again

A true defense of the Christian faith has never been more needed than now, but an attempt to rescue Christianity from its dependence upon Scripture is doomed to disaster.

Written by Albert Mohler | Tuesday, September 27, 2016

“Jesus loves me — this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” A mature Christian faith will say more than that, not less than that. “For the Bible tells me so” does not mean that we do not have reasoned answers to difficult questions, but it does mean that we admit our dependence upon Scripture —...

Sexuality and Our Public Lives: The Tower of Babel and the Kingdom of Christ

Genesis gives a fascinating account of fallen man’s collective attempt to define their own name themselves; a name that is very different from what God had already decreed

Written by Stephen Unthank | Tuesday, September 27, 2016

This is the brave new world in which we live – a world where anyone and everyone can “make a name for themselves”, even despite the name they were born with and given. But unlike Genesis where God, in judgment, came down and confused their languages, perhaps now God is doing something far worse: letting... Continue Reading

Desiring to Rule Over Genesis 3:16

This debate will push exegetical considerations to the forefront of disagreements

Written by Nick Batzig | Tuesday, September 27, 2016

I would place myself among the vast number of evangelicals who hold to the first view. Additionally, I would agree with those who promote view 2–those who hold that the latter Divine pronouncement concerning the relationship between Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:16 is “a description of the perversion of hierarchical relationships (woman seeking to...

The Attraction of Idolatry

To see the allure of idolatry can be hard for those of us in the Western world.

Written by Kevin DeYoung | Monday, September 26, 2016

The whole system of idolatry—guaranteed, selfish, easy, convenient, normal, logical, pleasing, indulgent, and erotic—when you look at it that way, the allure of idolatry does not seem far removed from us. It is easy to see how we can make idols out of everything from health insurance to retirement accounts to political candidates to academic... Continue Reading

What is the Spirit’s Role in Our Reading of Scripture?

There is a false notion among evangelicals that we can either trust in the ordinary means of grace and the church’s creedal catechetical tradition, or we can be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Written by Aimee Byrd | Monday, September 26, 2016

Both the charismatic and the conservative, more subtle teaching on the Holy Spirit and God’s word cuts us off from the Trinitarian work in communicating God’s word to the whole communion of the saints.  And for some reason this exciting teaching often comes off as a spiritual buzz kill. I am referring to church tradition... Continue Reading
