John Piper, Rick Warren, and the Purpose Driven Life
May 27, 2011Let’s just pretend for a moment you did not read the title of this blogpost. Let’s pretend that there was an anonymous Christian minister who explicitly affirmed the following: I am passionate about the glory of God above all things. I believe in the absolute sovereignty of God in all things, including sin and tragedy. [...]
Highway to Hell and the Regulative Principle
April 12, 2011Back in October 2oo7, Mark Driscoll started an online game called “Ask Anything” where anyone could ask him a question and people voted on their favorite questions. The top nine questions would turn into a sermon series which later became his book entitled Religion Saves. On October 12, I blogged about the question I asked [...]
Rob Bell Briefing
March 14, 2011There’s no way to keep up with (or link to) all the articles, blogs, videos, and reviews coming out about Rob Bell’s book Love Wins, which is scheduled to release tomorrow (March 15). Currently, his book is #8 in all of Amazon–a rarity for any “Christian” book. I do not recall in my six years [...]
Theoretical v. Operative Gospels
October 28, 2010I will let this quote by Graeme Goldsworthy speak for itself: “Among evangelicals there are differences in the way [gospel] is used. It is a matter for some concern that some books and study courses on evangelism seem to assume that every Christian is absolutely clear about what the gospel is, and that what is [...]
The Weirdness of Our Generation
October 25, 2010Francis Chan talks about the weirdness of our generation and the areas incongruent with biblical Christianity. I hope we have enough humility and self-examination that we don’t have to wait until our generation passes to discover the things we have uncritically adopted which have little or nothing to do with the kind of Christian faith [...]
The New Middle Road by Francis Chan
April 30, 2010I think Francis Chan puts a stinging critique in a humorous way of popular Christianity today, much like David Platt’s new book Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream (review forthcoming). HT: The Resurgence

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 [...]
Thank You John Stott (1921-2011)
July 27, 2011Few people have shaped evangelicalism more in the past 100 years than John R.W. Stott, and this morning he departed to glory with a legacy that will far outlast his lifetime. I never had a chance to meet John Stott, but I felt that I came to know him through his writings in the many [...]
