Matt Chandler on being a reformed charismatic

May 18, 2010

This is the second of a four-part interview with Matt Chandler. At Together For the Gospel, Chandler began his talk by claiming to be a reformed charismatic. After Grudem’s recent interview on this subject at New Word Alive, I was eager to ask Matt just what he meant by this, as there is a broad [...]

Hello girls. Welcome to blogland

May 16, 2010

Following New Word Alive, I posted a list of bloggers who were there. I thought today I would highlight two blogs written by women, as Christian blogging especially is still something of a male domain. This surprises me a little as these days it is not a geeky activity, and since so many women are [...]

Wayne Grudem on whether God’s revelation has really stopped

May 14, 2010

This video might surprise some of my readers. Wayne is well known as a reformed theologian. Arguably he and Piper have between them, with some help from Keller and Carson, led to this resurgence of “Young Restless and Reformed” that so many people talk about. So when a man like that argues that God has [...]

Wayne Grudem on persuasion and insisting on people’s right to disagree

May 13, 2010

This video is worth watching just to see Grudem explaining the following statement: “We have to insist on the right of others to disagree with us and protect that right.” We would do well to meditate carefully on this short clip, as we think about how we should disagree both with other Christians and unbelievers. [...]

Wayne Grudem on surviving as an author (or reader) of big books

May 12, 2010

This interview focused on one question: How do you manage to write books that are over a thousand pages long? The answer was essentially the same way you read them: One page at a time! We also spoke about the ESV Study Bible that he edited. He argued that no single human being in a [...]

INTERVIEW: Wayne Grudem on Politics and the Christian

April 26, 2010

This is an extract of a video interview, the rest of which will be shared on the blog later on.  In light of our current election campaign, I thought it would be especially relevant for British readers to watch this right now. Wayne does not specifically address the UK’s political choice, but rather we speak [...]

Thumbnail image for Matt Chandler on leadership in London, UK

As this post was only up on the site for a short time before New Word Alive, and it might have got buried among all the other posts, I thought I would bring it back up to the top for a while in case you missed it first time round.  We do have some places [...]

NWA10 – New Word Alive Reflections

April 19, 2010

I thought I would publish here the article I wrote for the final on-site newspaper for New Word Alive: For me one of the key things about New Word Alive is the opportunity it gives us to demonstrate our unity. There are probably speakers and worship leaders here who you haven’t heard of because they [...]

NWA10 – Hugh Palmer on 1 Thessalonians, part 4

April 18, 2010

Here are my notes from the final session I attended at New Word Alive, except for the bloggers’ session: Everyone needs a theology. Many people see all kinds of negative connotations to that word, e.g. that it is “heavy.”  It is not doctrine instead of experience. It is not theology instead of how to live [...]

NWA10 – Lindsay Brown on Mission

April 17, 2010

Lindsay Brown spoke on Friday evening about mission, which he defined as  “proclaiming the truth, wonder, and power of the gospel by word and deed.” Some argue that mission is only for those who feel called or are really keen. But the God of the OT is a missionary God. Though there is a people [...]

NWA10 – Rebecca Manley Pippert, author of “Out of the Saltshaker”

April 17, 2010

Richard Cunningham interviewed Rebecca Manley Pippet from Salt Shaker Ministries one evening at New Word Alive about evangelism in place of a sermon. She spoke about how “torpedo evangelism” was not helpful. She gave the example of a woman who quite literally threw a gospel tract at her once. People are afraid of evangelism. We [...]

NWA10 – Hugh Palmer on 1 Thessalonians, part three

April 16, 2010

In the third session on Thessalonians, Hugh honed right in on our purity. He urged all of us listening to make a decision to stop playing games with God. He warned us that if we reject the teaching on sexual purity we are not rejecting our preacher, or even Paul, but God himself. But as [...]

April 16, 2010

One of the features of New Word Alive is the series of Bible readings which, over the course of each morning, covers a book. This year Hugh Palmer is covering 1 Thessalonians. I missed the opening session which focused on how the word was being twisted and assaulted in Paul’s day. Hugh began by speaking [...]
