Al Mohler on Raised With Christ

November 18, 2009

Adrian Warnock points us all to the centrality of the resurrection for every dimension of the Christian life. Adrian is a [...]

Replacing UK Evangelical Leader Joel Edwards

June 7, 2008

There is no doubt that it has been a difficult time in the Evangelical movement on both sides of the Atlantic in recent years.

Book Both "Together" Conferences NOW

February 28, 2008

I can’t offer two conferences for the price of one, but I can—in one post—discuss two conferences which, for all the similarities of their names, do have some important differences. For a start, they are on opposite sides of the Atlantic, so booking into the wrong one would be a significant logistical headache! I am [...]

Rediscovering Theopedia

August 31, 2007

I have spent a bit of time over the last few days rediscovering Theopedia. It is not quite so frenetic and unstructured as Wikkipedia. This is probably due to its requirement that you acknowledge a statement of faith and be registered before editing items. They are keen for more contributors and if you have good [...]

The Atonement – Packer on Penal Substitution

April 13, 2007

This morning on his blog, Al Mohler reminded us of Jim Packer’s eloquent defense (in 1973) of penal substitution in a post entitled “The Logic of Penal Substitution.” In light of my ongoing series on the atonement, this is well worth the read. Mohler says this about Packer’s historic lecture:
“Packer starts by describing that the [...]

The Inverse Power of Praise and Psychological Research

March 1, 2007

Al Mohler pointed us the other week to an article in New York Magazine which puts forward a fascinating argument that counteracts the prevailing view that our greatest need is for increased self esteem.
Basically it seems we have been wrong all along about self-esteem and praise. Kids need to understand that effort is required, [...]

Should We be Optimistic or Pessimistic About the Future?

February 22, 2007

Mark Dever over at Together for the Gospel has written about how we should expect persecution. He may well be right. As I read his post, however, and also a few of his buddy, Al Mohler’s, cultural observations, I wonder if I detect a more general note of pessimism about the future of the church.
