God’s Desire for All: STTA!

Below is Calvin’s commentary on 2 Peter 3:9. Though I would disagree with his exegesis here, I do agree with the theology and find it supported by the rest of Scripture, namely that, though God will not save all men, He does have a genuine desire for the salvation of the world. We must be […]

Before Making That Difficult Decision, Keep These Six Biblical Principles in Mind — Part 1

Two years ago, my wife and I had to make a really difficult decision. As I write this, I can sort of picture us standing in my in-laws’ kitchen, in their old, two-story house in Princeton, Illinois. It was about 7:00 at night, and both of us were pacing back and forth, trying to figure […]

Matchless Grace

Grace so permeates the book of Ephesians that one might call the entire book, “Grace Abounding.” Grace has the first word, if you will (Ephesians 1:2). It has the final word (Ephesians 6:24). And it flows like a mighty river through every verse we read in this book. The indicatives of Ephesians drip with grace. […]

Don’t Mention the Tension: STTA!

Somewhere along the way, Denny, we have to reckon with the fact that we – myself included – went too far. We put limitations on women that exceeded what Christ demonstrated. We did it instead of wrestling with the tension between the Gospels & epistles. We’re watching a backlash. — Beth Moore (@BethMooreLPM) March 4, […]

Reinventing Jesus by Komoszewski, Sawyer, and Wallace (book review)

Welcome to the Christmas season once again. Whereas for eleven months out of the year our documentary film fare consists of a balanced diet of fringe nutrition advice, adorable nature footage, financial malfeasance, and Pawn Stars reruns, this month is sure to feature a host of secular documentaries on how Jesus is a mishmash pagan construct, […]

Psalm 119:121-124— Deliverance

ot only are we promised deliverance from our own cursed flesh, but we are promised freedom from the evil of this world. We long to see the day when all of God’s enemies are finally made a footstool (Hebrews 1:13) so that we might be delivered from them! Our suffering and oppression, although ordained by God and granted by God (Philippians 1:29) is nevertheless something we naturally want to avoid. We long for the time and place where God will wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:4), where there will be no more pain and no more death. Suffering and pain are results of the curse, and all creation groans to be delivered—ourselves included (Romans 8:22-23). It is this meaningful focus on future deliverance that strengthens the child of God for every circumstance in this world. We are not promised health and wealth now, but when we inherit all the rewards earned by the Christ, we will be glad we traded none of them for temporary comfort!
