John Stott on the science of sanctification
I’m currently reading “Basic Christianity” by the prolific & proliferous John Stott. Reflecting on the uniqueness of Christ, Stott makes the following observation about the similarity between a scientist and a growing Christian: The Christian knows that the nearer he approaches God, the more he becomes aware of his own sin. In this the saint […]
multi-site churches debated
May 1, 2009
The latest issue of the 9marks journal has just been released, and as one who is not a normal reader the subject matter caught my attention – multi-site churches. As a long-time member and current staff member at a multi-site megachurch, I have had the privilege of possessing a front row seat as our church […]
stephen colbert vs. bart ehrman
April 10, 2009
I saw this earlier today while watching the Colbert Report. It is absolutely hilarious. Comedian/television host Stephen Colbert interviews liberal Bible scholar/heretic Bart Ehrman, author of the new book Jesus Interrupted.

Carson on the love of God
February 24, 2009
At the risk of sounding overly simplistic, I love to talk about God’s love. The consistent theme of God’s love throughout the Scriptures frames everything for me: relationships, evangelism, justice, marriage, sexuality, ecclesiology, preaching, everything. God’s love is all-encompassing and serves as one of the primary motifs in Scripture for the way we understand the […]
the gospel comes to life
February 9, 2009
Over the weekend, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary hosted the 20/20 conference, which they called “The Gospel Comes to Life.” The lineup of speakers was phenomenal, with Danny Akin, Mark Driscoll, CJ Mahaney, and Bill Brown unpacking what it looks like for the gospel to transform culture and people within culture. SEBTS posted the audio links […]
