“If our conception, our image of God, our theology does not allow for [the wrath of God] then it is not a theology based on all that God has revealed about himself in Scripture. It is a false image, an idol. God desires praise for all of His attributes.” God desires to demonstrate his wrath [...]

I have taken the liberty of posting it in its entirety as his template is broken so you cannot read it there! 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 says: For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, [...]

World Cup Warnie

June 13, 2006

Dave Routledge posted this picture of me looking remarkably relaxed before the England World Cup game. Whilst some of his comments about the day are ‘filthy lies’ and half-truths (!) he’s right about one thing – my mind was on the sermon, not the game. I thought I would try and understand the attraction of [...]

Monday Musings . . . and a Sermon About God Condemning Sin in Jesus (Romans 8).

June 12, 2006

Debate continues to rage over at my post entitled, Did God Kill Jesus? Am I Alone? (Actually the answer is definitely NO as MacArthur, Piper, Lloyd-Jones and CJ can all be counted among those who are with me on this!).
