David Platt on the Gospel
March 31, 2009Triperspectivalism, Leadership, and Church Planting
March 27, 2009For the record, dispensationalists do not have claim to all the big theological words. Try triperspectivalism (also known as multi-perspectivalism). Over the past three years, I’ve been following David Fairchild and Drew Goodmanson’s writings from a distance but have never really been in a situation where I thought triperspectivalism would come to play in my [...]

On Being Gospel-Saturated
March 22, 2009For the past couple of weeks, we have been discussing at Grace the third mark of a healthy church member, namely being gospel-saturated. During this time, I have posted the following blogposts on the subject that I thought I’d pass along here. In the near future, I hope to begin a series on ths sufficiency [...]

Join Me in Praying for Baby Hannah
March 20, 2009About a month ago, our baby boy Nolan was terribly sick, running a fever of 104°+ for several days. Fortunately, the bacterial virus did not stay, and Nolan has recovered well.

20 Books to Foster Life-Change
March 18, 2009One of the things I have focused on of late is to focus on knowing certain books really well. There are some books that I read, and there are other books that I read, outline, analyze, and refer back to time and again. The latter are books that are generally rich in theology but also [...]

Reflections on Becoming a “WildMan”

Carl Trueman on American Celebrity Culture
March 11, 2009Back in May of 2007, I asked the question, “Are We Creating a Reformed Celebrity Culture?” which, at the time, gained considerable traction. A year later, Carl Trueman shared some of his concerns about the celebrity culture while reflecting on Collin Hansen’s book Young, Restless, Reformed. Most recently, Trueman again picked up on the cult [...]
