A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M In his book, Grounded in the Gospel: Building Believers the Old-Fashioned Way, J.I. Packer has a chapter entitled “The Gospel as of First Importance.” In that chapter, Packer discusses the pastoral and formational applications of the Gospel. Many are familiar with the quote from Tim Keller that “the Gospel is not the ABC’s of [...]

The Gospel Alphabet: N is for Narrative
December 25, 2011Communities of Light, Part 1 (Biblical Theology)
September 27, 2011God is light. I’m not sure we have probed into the depths of that profound reality. I’m not trying to sound abstract or philosophical. The Bible is clear to explain that God is light (1 John 1:5). He dwells in unapproachable light (1 Tim. 5:16) and is considered as “the Father of lights” (James 1:17). [...]
True and Better
May 30, 2011I’ve already plugged this awesome excerpt of Tim Keller in the past, but it’s worth posting again.
Why Biblical Theology Matters for Church Leaders
May 15, 2011Dustin Neeley recently sat down with Mark Dever and asked about the importance of biblical theology in the life and work of pastors and church planters. I appreciated Dever’s response.
Getting Out by Tim Keller
May 2, 2011From the 2011 Gospel Coalition National Conference. Tim Keller’s message on Exodus 14. EXCELLENT.
The Bible Is NOT About You
August 26, 2010For the past seven weeks, I have been leading a group of men in our church through Tim Keller and Ed Clowney’s class on Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World. The 35 MP3′s are available for free on RTS iTunesU, and a PDF of the class notes are available as well. I have also been [...]
The Jesus Storybook Bible
September 8, 2009Yesterday was an especially exciting day for the Brister family. No, we didn’t do anything out of the ordinary for Labor Day. What happened was we finished the Jesus Storybook Bible for the first time. God has used this little resourced by Sally Lloyd-Jones to turn our times of family worship as the most exciting [...]
Biblical Theology for Church Members
March 12, 2009For the past couple of weeks, I have been teaching through What Is a Healthy Church Member? by Thabiti Anyabwile, and last week we broke down the second mark – a biblical theologian. One of things I have been doing on our church blog is to provide some resources on the various issues or doctrines [...]

Kostenberger on the Church’s Mission in the 21st Century
October 8, 2008Andreas Kostenberger, on his blog (which is also available in Spanish!), recently shared twelve theses for the church’s mission in the 21st century. Often when we hear of the church’s mission, it is couched in a pragmatic discussion, focusing on methodology to the neglect of theological reflection. Kostenberger’s excellent theses, I believe, should serve as [...]
Witnessing at Work: Sacred vs. Secular?
March 25, 2008Continuing in our series on missional work, Jason Meyer chimes in to address the false dichotomy with a biblical-theological approach. More contributions to come, but for now, consider Jason’s response. Christians tend to see things in pieces and miss the big picture. This inability to see in a panoramic way leads to many false dichotomies [...]
Blue Collar Theology 22: Recent Biblical Theology Resources
March 24, 2008Over the past month, Southern Seminary (where I attend) has had some excellent lectures on Biblical Theology, and they have been kind to not only provide the MP3 of each lecture, but you can also download the lectures in PDF format. The lectures are from Graeme Goldsworthy (2008 Gheens Lectures) and Jim Hamilton (Julius Brown [...]
Elemental Evangelism, Part 2
October 11, 2007Picking up where I left off yesterday, I want to continue with elements three and four of what I am calling “elemental evangelism.” 3. Apologetical As I begin to build a relationship with unbelievers, I piece together their worldview which is based on presuppositions they hold (whether they realize that or not). I have unbelieving [...]
Like Shepherd, Like Sheep
September 19, 2007While meditating this week on the phrase “patiently enduring evil” (2 Tim. 2:24), I was led the Sherpherd/sheep imagery of Jesus and His followers. In John 10, Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). But how or in what way does His sheep follow Him. [...]
