I have avoided being critical of the Bayly brothers because one of them has said some things about me that provide circumstantial evidence if someone wanted to accuse me of being motivated to find fault. All I can say is that God knows my motives and I have not lost fear of the judgment [...]
May God give Josiah all he needs for life and Godliness!

Creation and providence happen first. God is not breaking into anything alien to himself in the incarnation. He is not uniting himself to stuff he “finds.” He started history and has controlled history all along the way.
That’s why revelation is never derivative. Every concept, every word, is a concept or word [...]

Here’s a possible application of James 1.20: Having prominant pastors on the radio sounding like they could work for the FoxNews network does not accomplish the righteosness of God.
This morning I listened briefly to a snippet about what’s hopeful and worrisome in Evangelicalism. I thought the point made was intriguing that the younger [...]
Has God done anything for you? Has he told you how he feels about you or made you any personal promises?
Joel Garver does a great job in showing how Reformed Covenant Theology is wonderful pastoral theology, giving comfort and building faith.

I’ve been re-reading Rich Lusk’s excellent essay from the “Knox Seminary Colloquium” where he brings the resources of Biblical theology in explainng and defending the basics of Protestant soteriology, nailing it down from explicit Scriptural teaching. (OK, I admit I have a quibble I was thinking of blogging about; but it is a minor [...]
We could use this for our new annual celebration: “Post-Reformation Day” or in slang, “Day of the Doctors.”
O, Lord God of our Fathers, who has set the boundaries through their works, and has given us a pleasant heritage right now: defend and deliver us, we pray, from those who believe and teach your Word. [...]
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
Thus spake God through Isaiah (52.7). But let’s improve this translation:
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings the Gospel,
who publishes peace, who [...]
PART ONE / PART TWO / PART THREE / PART FOUR / PART FIVE
The desire not to be found indistinguishable from the pagans who were moving in led the Pharisees into a program of hedge-building–not so much a hedge around the Torah as we were taught in Sunday School, but more a hedge around themselves [...]
OK, I just assumed this was a hardware problem and was going to either live with it or see if having my iMac under a year gives me any breaks…. But I tried something different and, for once, got an error message:
Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Eror code [...]
More from Tyacke’s Anti-Calvinists:
That Calvinism was the de facto religion of the Church of England under Queen Elizabeth and King James may surprise those brought up to regard Calvinists and Puritans as one and the same. Such an identification, however, witnesses to the posthumous success of the Arminians in blackening the reputation of the [...]
OK, cybertechies. I’m running Windows xp home edition on a generously-donated PC. I downloaded Starsiege Tribes 1.8. I also downloaded an upgrade to make it 1.11. Every time I try to open the upgrade, however, I get the following message:

Got up at six this morning and left before seven to go fill the pulpit for a church a couple of hours away. I had my clothes laid out: I had already showered; I had my sermon script to read through if I got there early; I had my notes for teaching Sunday school, [...]
In his Byzantine Gospel, Aidan Nichols reviews, as his subtitle states, “Maximus the Confessor in Modern Scholarship.” He begins by dealing with background and refers first to J. M. Hussey’sThe Orthodox Church in the Byzantine Empire to ask “When did Byzanium begin?” (p. 1). Hussey argues for the 7th century. Nichols lists [...]

CHAPTER V
Between Princeton and Pittsburgh
As I have already said, it had come to a sort of general understanding, before I left Princeton, that I was to pass into the service of the new Western Theological Seminary, whose location was now settled at Allegheny City, a mere suburb, at the time, of Pittsburgh. [...]
The reason I’m asking is that I never really have enough time to interact with people at GA because of floor business. I’ve been thinking about this and I was thinking of a way for us to all redeem the time.

CHAPTER II
Four Years of College Life
My Charleston grand-uncle, after whom I was named, assumed the charge of my college education; and by the advice of his brother, Dr. Hugh Williamson, of New York, who had himself offered the same generous service in my favor, I was sent for this purpose in the fall of [...]
