Michael Jensen gives us the skinny on Broughton Knox’s arguments opposing limited atonement. Well worth the read.

The Times has an interesting article about a bold bid to have the Pope arrested during his visit to the UK! Apparently, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have announced “that they will apply for an arrest warrant over the sex abuse scandals involving priests.” I, for one, would support any action which forces this corrupt, [...]

John Piper is no stranger to controversy and is not afraid, as part of the neo-Reformed crowd, to associate with “undesirables”. One need only note his tacit approval of John Wimber, and his invitations to Mark Driscoll and Federal Vision proponent Doug Wilson to speak at his conferences. Well, Piper’s done it again and asked [...]

John Thomson has started what looks to be a very useful series looking at how the terms “flesh” and “Spirit” are used in the Bible. Here’s a quote on Romans 1:1-4 to whet the appetite: This text is clearly significant. Paul signals, right at the outset of Romans, in this compressed summary of the gospel, [...]

In chapter 15 Tom Wells explores the relationship between the authority of Scripture and the authorityof human confessions. He notes that our sinful condition makes objectivity difficult and this causes divisions among us. Yet this does not mean we should capitulate into an emergent style “chastised epistimelogy = everyone’s viewpoint is valid” approach. As with [...]

Is there an already/not-yet to justification? I think possibly there is. In Galatians 5:2-6 we read: 2Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. 4You are [...]
sincerity the new saving faith?

John Thomson is on fire: Sincerity does not save; in fact all ’sincere’ belief that does not flow from trust in Christ, is sincere rebellion against God. Sincerity in itself is of limited worth. Fascists are sincere. Islāmic terrorists are sincere. Pro-abortionists are sincere. Atrocious acts are perpetrated by sincere people, many who claim to [...]
sexual purity and marriage

Russell D. Moore counsels a young woman who asks the question as to whether she should inquire of a prospective spouse’s sexual history. His advice is full of gospel wisdom and is worth taking the time to read in full. Nevertheless, this quote stood out to me: You are not “owed” a virgin because you [...]
