Presbyterianism may be said to rest on a three-legged stool (thank you to T. David Gordon for this analogy). One leg is our doctrine. Another leg is our form of government. The third is our worship. Our worship is an expression of our doctrine. It arises out of our doctrine. We worship as we do... Continue Reading

Christ would not have endured the cross and despised the shame if we had not sinned. So in a very real way we are responsible for Christ going to the cross. But to say this is not to negate the sovereign purposes of God.   There can be some confusion about the question in my... Continue Reading

Bivocational work is less common among Catholic (14%) and Mainline Protestant (11%) clergy.

Many pastors, especially evangelicals (64%), entered ministry after prior careers in other fields.   Nearly half of all Evangelical... Continue Reading

We are not fighting a curriculum. We are fighting a rival religion. One that has catechized generations. If you’re a father, act like a watchman. If you’re a mother, stand like a warrior. We don’t retreat—we rebuild.   Summary Highlight: Public education is not neutral—it’s a rival religion. This article exposes its ideological foundations, its... Continue Reading

Marx was wrong about a robust biblical faith. However, he may have been right about the kind of cultural Christianity he witnessed around him.    The Pathway to Glory Is the idea of glorification an opiate for the masses?

Everybody knows somebody whose life has been turned upside down by this….We know difficult days lie ahead. Please pray for our church as we seek to bring comfort and hope to a town desperately in need of... Continue Reading

It would work well as a companion to a verse by verse commentary on Hebrews so that you have both the overarching theological points and the detailed exegesis of each passage.... Continue Reading
