0 What Do Timothy Keller and Don Carson Say About Women Preachers? (Not Much)

The “Progressive” movement within Christianity has a motto: “Did God really say…?” Any group that speaks in this way should not rightly be called progressive, nor Christian. The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is a prime example. A recent TGC video (see below) featured founders Timothy Keller and Don Carson asking what Paul meant by “I do […]

0 Principles Over Personalities—A Response to Conservative Resurgence Voices

Chris Bolt at Conservative Resurgence Voices has written a critical piece against “discernment ministries” which has the appearance of applying to FTNCI, but in addition to his criticism being very misguided, it also contains a deep irony.

0 Cutting Through The Obscurities on Justice — A Response to Tim Keller

Tim Keller has finished his four-part series on justice and race, with the final article supposing to be an unpacking of the biblical view of justice. But I am concerned that his efforts will result in less clarity, rather than more, for Christians who earnestly want to cultivate and carry out a biblical view of […]

0 How Great the Weight of Public Speech—A Call to Morally Charged Polemics

Perhaps one of the greatest tragedies of our Christian generation is that we have neglected to understand and to be sufficiently moved by the tremendous and holy weight of what it means to speak publicly as a Christian.

And there are many […]

0 The Immovable Mover — An Argument for the Egoist God

This is the working first chapter of a book I intend to publish one day entitled, “The Galt-Like God.” This chapter is my somewhat polemical argument for the existence of God presented to and for the admirer of Ayn Rand’s philosophy. However, one need not be familiar with Rand’s work in order to understand and […]

0 Dear Conservatives: Biblicism Won’t Stop Social Justice

“The Reformation doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture does not claim that Christians need only Scripture and not natural revelation, but that Christians need only Scripture and not other kinds of special revelation.” -David VanDrunen “The Bible is enough” isn’t going to stop Christians who claim they see Social Justice and Intersectionality in the […]

0 Brothers, Value Your Self

In a recent blog post entitled “Brothers, Praise Someone Other Than God” on the Desiring God website, Sam Crabtree argues for the God-glorifying goodness of praising other people. His argument, in essence, is that God is imaged forth in, and working through, the lives of individual people in such a way that we ought to recognize […]

0 Thankful, To Whom?

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful: thankful for family and friends, for a good job or financial stability, for delicious food and the skill that goes into preparing it, and for an innumerable amount of amazingly good things in one’s life. And though they are innumerable, most people find joy in the attempt to […]
