• holiness and love

  
  Rick Ianniello — Authority: 416
  From Francis Schaeffer in The Church before the Watching World:If we stress the love of God without the holiness of God, it turns out only to be compromise. But if we stress the holiness of God without the love of God, we practice something that is hard and lacks beauty. And it is important to show forth beauty ...

• In Support of Mark Driscoll

  
  Say Hello to my Little Friend — Authority: 92
  I don’t know Mark Driscoll. Nor, for that matter, do those who make up the disturbingly enthusiastic crowd of stone-bearers who wait in the wings, apparently hoping for his downfall. They’re calling him a thug, alleging that he suffers from mental illness, calling him a slime ball, a heretic, an “ass,” a ...

• Please, sir, may I have some more?

  
  The Wanderer — Authority: 414
  I know this sounds like a crazy notion. I’m not 100% convinced myself. But I’ve begun to wonder if there might not be enough public teaching in today’s church. Kevin DeYoung reasons through what he fears may be a lack of teaching in the church. I think he has some valid concerns. How much of an appetite for ...

  phat catholic apologetics — Authority: 450
  N ow that the dust has settled from the uproar caused by Jefferson Bethkes popular YouTube video , it is possible to collect the Catholic responses into one location.

• Praying for Those Who Fill Empty Seats

  
  Salty Believer — Authority: 95
  One of the best "problems" for any church to have is to run out of space.  More people than chairs. More demand than supply.   Sometimes this means starting another service, buying more chairs, acquiring another building, or planting another church.   My church is growing and will, by the grace of God, continue ...

• Pastors, Teachers, Shock-Jocks?

  
  NonModernBlog — Authority: 110
  There is a lot of discussion and debate going on about the role of publicity in ministry. Is it a good thing to take advantage of it to spread the message of the Gospel further? In generating more attention, do we cloud the message? The Gospel is controversial, but does that mean that every controversial thing we ...

• Humiliation in Youth Ministry

  
  everyday theology — Authority: 107
  Had a discussion the other night about what we’d be militant about. I’m pretty laid back, and wouldn’t get militant over much. But then I thought of it. I am militantly opposed to humiliation in the name of youth ministry. Do you know what I mean? Like those times on retreats or mission trips, when [...]

• DeYoungs follow up, and the topsy-turvy world of New Evangelicalism

  
  Daniel's Place - Reformata et Semper Reformanda — Authority: 406
  Pastor Kevin DeYoung has written a follow up post to the Jeff Bethke video saga. In this post, Bethke has contacted him and the two of them had a cordial conversation via email. Such is being held out as the way Christians should resolve conflicts, but is that really the case?First of all, we note that the entire ...

• Church Faithfulness: Is it Reasonable Anymore?

  
  Grace in the Triad — Authority: 89
  NOTE:   The following article by Jim Elliff represents my own thoughts about church faithfulness.  There is a pronounced apathy for the truth of Gods word, Gods works, and Gods incarnated Word in the evangelical churches of the Southeastern United states; i.e., the Bible belt.  Elliff addresses an outward ...

• DeYoung, Evangelicalism and its deficient doctrine of the church

  
  Christian Research Net — Authority: 127
  But when you start bashing the idea that Christianity can actually be shared, that it is a public event, that is bigger than just your personal insights, spiritual journey; when you start attacking the corporate reality of Christianity, by knocking that word “religion,” you’re not doing anyone any favors and ...

• Cry in church?

  
  everyday theology — Authority: 107
  Would you be comfortable crying in your church? A pastor friend of mine recently shared with me this scenario. A congregant had visited with him about a particularly stressful event she had just been through. Among the suggestions my friend offered was to attend worship. (the congregant had not attended since the ...

• Christianity and Religion

  
  Daniel's Place - Reformata et Semper Reformanda — Authority: 406
  First, a contrast:If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this persons religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. (James ...

• How not to argue against Protestantism

  
  Say Hello to my Little Friend — Authority: 92
  Several months ago a Catholic friend of mine made a comment about a church. It was an Anglican church that every year seeks attention by putting up potentially offensive posters that have been known in the past to mock tradition Christian theology (the church has a reputation as being theologically liberal). My friend ...

• The Church: A Fellowship of Recovering Sinners

  
  Better Living: Thoughts from Mark Daniels — Authority: 107
  Church isnt a place for the perfect, but a fellowship for recovering sinners. After I posted that on Facebook earlier today, a high school classmate wrote to ask, "Mark do we ever really recover from sinfulness?" If by "recover," it was meant to "get over," the answer is no. Just as with any addiction, we never ...

• More Ekklesiaphobia Post #3: The Fear of the Colonialist Mistake

  
  Reclaiming the Mission — Authority: 501
  Continuing on the theme of ekklesaphobia from the past few weeks, I often encounter a version of it when I’m speaking somewhere on my (latest) favorite theme – How “sentness extends the authority of Christ.” I try to show how whenever we enter a context, a new culture, and practice the Eucharist or ...
