God 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). [...]

Communities of Light, Part 1 (Biblical Theology)
September 27, 2011Covenant Marriage
June 7, 2011John Piper, Tim Keller, and D.A. Carson share their thoughts on the importance of understanding covenant and promise (biblical theology) in marriage. Good stuff.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Gospeling at Work, Part 1
March 26, 2008Should you share the Gospel at work? The short answer: Yes. But before you answer that question we have to re-consider what we mean when we say “gospel” and “share.” So much of out evangelicalism has bought into the notion that the “gospel” consists of four points merely with a decision called for at the [...]
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 [...]
