November 4, 2010Good Works Before Men, Righteousness Before God
January 16, 2010Jonathan Edwards says in his book Religious Affections that the chief of all signs of true and saving grace is Christian practice.

Christ the Builder, Christ the Perfecter
December 1, 2009The church is a people who are called out and set apart from the world who are also called and sent into the world. The goal of the Christian life is complete conformity to Christ, and such conformity is both in character and in mission. In other words, the church is to be both a [...]

NFC IX: Andy Davis on “The Importance of Filling Your Life With Scripture”
June 26, 2008I hold in my hand a miracle. The Bible is a miracle, and I challenge you to give me any definition of a miracle that our Bible does not qualify. It was the Word God sent, for faith comes by hearing so that we might be saved. James 1:17 – God chose to give us [...]

DGNCON08: The Power of Words and the Wonder of God
June 13, 2008Very apropos conference theme, something we all need to hear, learn, and if possible, attend. In case you have not seen it, consider Piper’s example in this heart-riveting excerpt from last year’s chapel message at Southern Seminary (produced by Tony Kummer). May we all use our tongues as a weapon to wield for the purposes [...]

Blue Collar Theology 23: A New Kind of Accountability
March 24, 2008One of our modern-day, evangelical methods for holiness and purity in the church has been what are called “accountability groups.” An accountability group takes many forms–two, three, or eight people–who meet regularly. Some groups have a list of questions to go through, while other groups sit over coffee and let words be shared as they [...]
