If you want to condemn the innocent, it is extremely important that you give no appearance of impartiality, objectivity, or any recognition that you have obligations of fairness toward those you wish to destroy.
You might think that one destroys the innocent by carefully manufacturing false evidence or carefully rigging false testimony. But the Gospels […]

Here is what I preached from at Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church. Obviously, since we had already celebrated the Lord’s Supper that morning, I didn’t mention it in the sermon, though my notes presuppose that the congregation is about to partake. Hopefully the audio will be up soon because I also added some explanations […]

The real indictment against the modern world is that by the modern world human liberty is being destroyed. At that point […]

I went to Auburn Avenue to lecture on Church, Lord’s Supper, Baptism, and Way of Salvation/Discipleship.
But the discussion afterwards focused on Theology Proper and Incarnation. I didn’t plan that but it didn’t seem like a stretch at all. As I recall the following came up at some point or another:
Is God emotional?
Should we take […]

Steve has been on a role regarding Dabney (see the earlier posts as well). I’m reminded to again recommend this site as a great source for understanding Calvinism.

Here are my notes for the sermon I preached yesterday morning at Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church. (Full disclosure: preached this originally around Christmas 1999; can’t remember if I’ve re-used it before now.)
When the audio is made available on the web I will link it.
WHY FAITH? THE GIFT OF THE NEW CREATION: Luke 1.26-38; […]

Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of […]

I have no idea what I think of Piper’s opinions in particular, but I do know that the way in which Evangelicals in general try to fix some things in the culture seems prone to create much friction, fission, and confusion.
There are a great many things a Christian man ought to be–more godly, a better […]

So I’m here missing Jennifer and I realize I could have at least convinced Steve to spend the weekend here for the conversation. He’s been my faithful supplier of ideas and thought on the last couple of trips I’ve taken. This house is too big for silence to be comfortable. It was designed for parties.
Lectures […]

Not that anyone will care once we start bombing Iran, but a town not two miles from us has been the source of some sensational scandal. Jennifer and I have both received tickets from St. George’s finest. It is a notorious speed trap where a cop was videotaped abusing a driver only a few days […]

“Many parts of industry are actually in a state worse than recession. If it were not for (Federal Reserve Chairman Ben) Bernanke putting huge amounts of money into the market, the stock market would probably be down much more than it is.
In other words, upper class and some middle class people are getting to spend […]
