Philippians

The Resurrection Empowered LIfe

April 15, 2007

I have been thinking a lot about the resurrection this past week — which might surprise you given my blog’s current focus on the atonement. The sermon I preached on Easter Sunday wasn’t, for me, a “normal” sermon. I felt more conscious than usual of a sense of being specifically commissioned by God to preach [...]

T4G Articles 5-6 – The Attributes of God and the Trinity

March 30, 2007

The next two articles in the Together for the Gospel Statement discuss the nature of God. The concept of the Trinity is so entwined with God’s attributes and who He is I have decided to roll these two articles into one. I have already posted an extensive set of notes and an audio on the [...]

Am I a Thrill Seeker?

March 28, 2007

Over on Pyromaniacs, the last three posts and their extensive comments sections have all been prompted by the differing reactions to the Piper piece on Hearing the Voice of God. This article by John Piper is certainly a piece that is well worth listening to, as well as reading. The following are the three resulting [...]

Shepherds Conference – My Response to the Cessationist Challenge

March 9, 2007

Over on the Pulpit blog, Nathan Busenitz — who has graciously commented over here — has asked us charismatics to add any further killer arguments to his list of the top 10 charismatic objections to cessationism. I am not sure if he will have time in his seminar itself to address those that I offer [...]

Pierced for Our Transgressions – The Atonement Revisited

February 25, 2007

I just had my third e-mail in as many days about Pierced For Our Transgressions — a forthcoming book on penal substitution. Regular readers will know that I have frequently posted on the atonement in the past. This book is aimed at addressing the debate over Steve Chalke’s allegation of “cosmic child abuse.” You may [...]

My Story Part Five – Learning to Value Being, Not Doing

January 13, 2007

Just before Christmas, someone I know asked me what I was going to do on my blog to “follow” my interview with Wayne Grudem. In that moment I knew exactly how I was going to follow it — with silence. Sometimes the best way to try and follow something is quite simply not to! To [...]

AUDIO – The Attributes of God: What is God Like?

November 28, 2006

At Jubilee we have been doing a series of talks this autumn, each one lasting about an hour, during which we attempt to instruct the hearer to a greater extent than is possible in our Sunday morning sermons. One of the ones I did – which was on the subject of “What is God Like?” [...]

TRAVEL DIARY – A Bloggers’ Dinner

November 13, 2006

Well, I made it – at least as far as Toronto. I had an eager sense of anticipation as I got off the plane. As I met my now dear friend, Andrew Fountain, it was amazing to me to realize how true it is that being a Christian makes you part of one big family [...]

AUDIO – Sermons by C. J. Mahaney

September 13, 2006

C.J. Mahaney is well-known as the acceptable face of charismaticism. Until recently, C.J. was pastor of Covenant Life Church. After handing over this responsiblity to Josh Harris, some were led to ask the question I tried to answer in a previous post, “What is C.J. Mahaney?” If you’ve heard about Together For The Gospel, but [...]

CHARISMATIC DEBATE – Responding to Dan Phillips

September 4, 2006

Well, finally I have managed to find time to begin to respond to Dan Phillips reply to my smattering of charismatic questions for cessationists. In his last post, Dan states so well the main drive behind my commitment to all of this, and it is with this that I intend to start. My second post [...]

TOAM – Session 6 – The Person of Christ by Wayne Grudem

July 5, 2006

If you are wondering what a serious theologian like Wayne Grudem is doing preaching at a charismatic conference, then you have yet to meet a group like newfrontiers. There are charismatics who are as committed to the preaching of God’s Word as the average cessationist. Indeed, many of us would argue that we take the [...]

Women in Church and the Power Paradigm

May 27, 2006

In quite possibly his best post ever entitled, Women in Church and the Power Paradigm, David Wayne contends that Christianity does have a kind of hierarchical view of the role relationships between men and women in the church/home, but that this view does not imply that women are oppressed in Christianity. I just had to [...]
