  — Authority:
  What is the image we have of God? Perhaps he appears to us as a severe judge, as someone who curtails our freedom and the way we live our lives. But the Scriptures everywhere tell us that God is the Living One, the one who bestows life and points the way to fullness of life. I think of the beginning of the Book of ...

  — Authority:
  The term liberal most comprehensively relates to Enlightenment rationality, which posits an autonomous self which can arrive at a one-dimensional certitude.

  — Authority:
  The Rev. Will D. Campbell was a poor white boy from Mississippi who preached his first sermon from a pulpit stocked with a Bible from the Ku Klux Klan.

• Rewards in Heaven

  
  — Authority:
  Calvinists are not only completely mistaken on the biblical theme of redemption; they are also completely wrong with respect to the biblical topic of rewards in heaven. Oddly enough, their error stems from the wrong premise that humility, modesty and meekness are founded on the correct attitude to God’s absolute ...

• The Role of Pastors

  
  — Authority:
  Dave Black writes about a book on 1 & 2 Timothy and notes that Timothy was not a pastor. Historically, this is quite accurate. I find it interesting the things that “church folks” think must be done by a pastor. At one conference where Jody and I were invited to teach, there was a call to come forward for ...

  I have debated many people on the internet among them atheists, Calvinists, Muslims, Afrikaner Israelites, Seventh Day Adventists, Sabbatarians, Charismatics and, believe it or not, even Christians.

• Sheep and Goats – Who are They?

  
  — Authority:
  Calvinists have an uncanny flair to misread, misinterpret and even misquote passages in Scripture with one thing in mind — to defend Calvin’s doctrines of grace. One of the passages they often use to substantiate their agenda is Matthew 25:31-46. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy ...

  Called to Passion — Authority: 101
  Every Sunday, I stand in front of my congregation and preach the Gospel. I have overcome any fear of speaking in public that I may have once had. I have spoken to very large groups and very small groups. I have spoken to people I know and respect, and I have spoken to absolute strangers. Very little unnerves me. But ...
