I agree with you that all of us need room to grow in our faith and understanding, but are there no hills to die on, no absolute certainties of the faith, no moral boundaries that cannot be crossed? You characterized your position on homosexuality as “Evolved and evolving,” adding, “I think that where I am... Continue Reading

Advocacy focuses on the “yes,” not the “no.” Too often, typical Christian accountability revolves around long lists of what NOT to do. We spend way too much time discussing and managing the sin. Often, we lock onto the most minor unhealthy behaviors and think that’s going to prepare us for success in life. Unfortunately, we... Continue Reading

Dr. Michael Kruger, president of the Charlotte campus, said, “It is difficult to find words to express what Doug Kelly has meant to Reformed Theological Seminary. He is one of our most beloved professors, one of our brightest minds, and of one our finest preachers. While he will be dearly missed, we are grateful that... Continue Reading

Thus it is with Tullian Tchividjian’s fall and rise.  All of the celebrity conventions are there: The use of a well-known counselor brought in specially, the faux intimacy of the twitter feed, and now a slick podcast on coming back after a fall– less than two months since his confession that he betrayed his wife...

As I say in my new book, The Dating Manifesto, unless we’re complete recluses or impossibly socially awkward, we’re in the same circles as everyone... Continue Reading
