Counseling Fallen People Based on the Bible’s Teaching on Sin
Counseling and Sin
Counseling in a world of relational brokenness is about walking with people who have sinned in their relationships, assisting them in seeing where they have wronged another person, and helping them to take responsibility through confession of sin and satisfaction of any restitution that may be required (Matt. 7:3–5). It is also about helping them... Continue Reading
B.B. Warfield’s Inspiration & Authority of the Bible
Both his exposition and his defense of the doctrine as well as his careful and thorough examination of the Scripture’s own teaching of it are unsurpassed.
Warfield was eager to go deeper and uncover the length and depth of the teaching of Christ and the biblical writers. It is here in particular that we are treated to a gold mine of exegetical grist for our theological mill. He scours the claims of the prophets and the teaching of Jesus and his... Continue Reading
Self-Creation Only Dehumanizes Us
I believe the witnesses of Scripture and common sense that we are first and foremost creatures, not creators.
Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender reassignment surgery are all used to relieve suffering—not physical suffering, but the psychological and emotional suffering caused by gender dysphoria. Most feel alleviating that suffering is a moral imperative; therefore, so is allowing these interventions. Few realize, however, that the psychological and emotional burden often remains even after transition.... Continue Reading
Let Death Teach You How to Live
Review: ‘We Shall All Be Changed’ by Whitney Pipkin
We Shall All Be Changed is an honest book. Pipkin’s personal stories will resonate with anyone who has lost a family member. But it’s also a gospel-infused, hopeful book written with beauty and truth. Having read it, I fear death less but hate it more as an enemy. And I believe down to my bones that... Continue Reading
A Tedious Slog through More Soft Feminism: A Review
A Review of the PCA’s “Alongside Care,” Lawrenceville, Georgia: PCA Committee on Discipleship Ministries.
I certainly know that not all elders are qualified or godly. Vote out bad, unqualified elders. After reading this book and its sexist claims against godly elders, re-read the qualifications for elders and see if any of those are reflected in the disdain elders are treated with in Alongside Care. What is the denomination thinking?... Continue Reading
How John’s Gospel Helps Us Understand God’s Mission
Perhaps nowhere is the glory of God more clearly displayed than in Jesus’s journey to the cross.
Jesus’s mission, according to John’s prologue, is to reveal God the Father. John 1:18 seems to imply that humanity needs the incarnation, not only to make possible the sacrifice of the Lamb of God but more fundamentally because humanity needs to see the Father: “No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the...

Gay Nazarenes
The Nazarene teachers dismiss all the texts that deny the validity of homosexual sex.
The Nazarenes reject the Levitical texts because, according to them, such texts fail to show the love of God. Instead, they come from “ancient cultural biases.” The authors of “Why the Church” base their subjective argumentation on the power of love. God’s love must be shown to practicing homosexuals; to determine that their sexual practice... Continue Reading
Envisioning Spiritual Warfare as Paul Did
We fight like Jesus did when he came to this dark world.
All of Ephesians is about our conflict with darkness—within ourselves, with other people, with the spiritual forces of evil. Christ’s triumph over all that is evil, dark, and deadly is the message throughout. Now all these strands come together in one final description of life in Christ. Spiritual warfare is our participation in the Lord’s... Continue Reading
Marriage Is Not the Goal of the Christian Life
Marriage was never intended to be the goal of life. We are to serve God, not only one other person.
Our focus should be on loving God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. That is true whatever our marital status might be. We should not see marriage as the end goal of our lives; we should instead be asking, “How do I serve and glorify God best through my marriage?” Marriage can be... Continue Reading
