Dear Kevin Labby and Chris Rosebrough, Back in September I caught wind of something going on with Tullian that frustrated me. After a few exchanges, and a bit more information, I apologized for speaking rashly and asked for your forgiveness. I expressed concerns that I thought it was unwise for Tullian to be involved in ministry,… Continue reading An Open Letter to Kevin and Chris
Ligonier Statement on Christology – Some Thoughts
Last year, Ligonier published the results of a study which showed that a concerning number of Americans don’t understand the essentials of the faith. I’m not sure that this was a surprise, but to see the numbers on paper was troubling.

Mark Driscoll, Church Leadership, and Bad Hermeneutics
As my readers know, I have been openly critical of Mark Driscoll in the past. This started before Mars Hill imploded, but has found its focus on Mark’s behavior and return to ministry over the last year. Yesterday Mark announced that he will be starting a new congregation in Phoenix within the year (and “God… Continue reading Mark Driscoll, Church Leadership, and Bad Hermeneutics

When I was a new Christian, I used to spend the night over at a good friend’s house on Saturday night, to catch a ride to church in the morning. We spent many nights going through Bible trivia cards, somewhat facetiously, saying that my memorizing this trivia we would grow as Christians and in our… Continue reading A Man From the Land of Uz

Clarified Chalcedonian Statement by Dr. RC Sproul
A few days ago I posted an in-depth explanation regarding some of my concerns with Dr. RC Sproul’s articulation of the Hypostatic Union. Highlighting some specific comments that appeared to be an essentially Nestorian perspective, I explained what I saw to be the problem. I also commented that I didn’t like doing it, and have… Continue reading Clarified Chalcedonian Statement by Dr. RC Sproul
