It may surprise some, but I would not have voted for these overtures at General Assembly. Nevertheless, it’s also true their defeat at the presbytery level is bad news for the restoration of Biblical commitments to the denomination. Why do I say I would not have voted for Overtures 23 and 37 at General Assembly? But before answering…

What Greg Johnson Won’t Tell You About “Double Repentance” In his new book Still Time to Care: What We Can Learn from the Church’s Failed Attempt to Cure Homosexuality (Zondervan, 2021), PCA pastor Greg Johnson gives a history of the “ex-gay movement.” He believes it utterly failed and bemoans the fact that many evangelicals today still think homosexuality can be cured. In the conclusion of the bo...

Abortuaries are shutting down. Planned Parenthood’s abortuaries kill about forty percent of the babies while independent abortuaries kill sixty percent. Since 2016, 113 of the independent abortuaries have closed their doors. There were 510 independents in 2012, but only 358 remain. One might think this is cause to rejoice, but no, it’s not good news. Closed abortuaries do not mean fewer abortions....

In the middle of this Psalm 78 account of the rebellion of the sons of Israel in the wilderness, a particular rebellion is condemned: And in their heart they put God to the test By asking food according to their desire. (v. 18) Dane’s bestseller popped back into my mind: “food according to their desires.” This is the perpetual sin of the people of God. We are not willing to eat the table God sets...

In his book Gentle and Lowly, Dane Ortlund mentions a sermon by Charles Spurgeon opening up Jesus’ promise recorded in Matthew 11:29, “I am meek.” From Spurgeon’s sermon, we read: Our Saviour, who never sought the praise of man, says of himself, “I am meek,” because he desired to remove the fears of those who trembled to approach him… But why would anyone listening to Him be trembling to approach...

Here then is the problem with this book and it’s not complicated. Gentle and Lowly teaches the false doctrine that some of God’s attributes are more essentially His nature than others, and those attributes which are most essential are gentleness and lowliness. To teach this is to lie about God.

Pastor Steve Viars is in an unenviable position. He needs to oppose this law, but he also needs to tow the Biblical Counseling party line as laid out by his own Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) and Al Mohler several years ago, when they said that reparative therapy was bad.

No wonder “complementarians” of the ilk of Dr. Mounce “can’t think of a specific word that means ‘lord’ that would still “convey respect without violating …love.” Dr. Mounce and his fellow complementarians have thrown in the towel on the Fatherhood of God and man. They’re little men with little male perquisites they sometimes defend—bud oh so very timorously. Nothing any complementarian has ever w...

Must we wait quietly in our offices hoping and praying for visits from new converts before we unburden our consciences and finally ‘fess up to our true convictions about each of these stumbling blocks that lead our sheep to Hell? When did we decide that, in our preaching of the Gospel, we would no longer trust in the power of the Holy Spirit? Every one of us should be scandalized by Pastor Keller’...

This schlock consuming Evangelicalism and the Reformed church today reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon decades ago picturing a middle-aged pudgy bald man sitting at the bar with a drink, saying to the bartender patiently listening: I had a happy childhood. My teenage years were happy. I have a happy marriage, happy children, and a happy job. I’m having a happy middle age and my old age will be hap...

This gets me thinking about reading so let me put out there four rules for Christian readers. Rule 1: Don’t waste your time reading living men telling you what dead men said. Read the primary sources. What are primary sources? Back in 1977...

Three Bayly brothers sat under Prof. Roger Nicole at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. We’d agree he was the high point of our seminary education. Justice Harry Blackmun was the author of the Supreme Court’s 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade legalizing the slaughter of the unborn. In 1994, Justice Blackmun retired and Dr. Nicole took that occasion to write Blackmun a letter. Nicole blind-copied me on his...

A quarter-century ago, my father-in-law sent me a One Year Bible. Inside, he’d inscribed it, “RX: once a day.” Dad was godly and I wanted to obey him, but most of my life I found my flesh opposing my spirit in this matter of daily Bible reading. I believed in it, but didn’t do it—to my constant regret and shame.
