Recovering creational norms and returning to the Cross of Jesus Christ will solve almost any marriage problem.

The gospel is all about what God in Christ has done, is doing, and will do in restoring and enhancing everything that was lost in the Garden of Eden. The final gospel success is the final resurrection of man and the present heavens and earth. 

While liberals ordinarily overemphasize the “already” of the already/not yet, conservatives tend to overstress the “not yet.”

A pox on both their houses. 

The Bible teaches that salvation is entirely by grace, and not by works, and equally that there can be no salvation without works. This is an apparent, not an actual, contradiction.

Elders must know their job description, and sound theology isn’t the half of it. 

God deals with nations as nations, God blesses nations that adhere to biblical law, and God judges nations that turn their back on God and his written word.

The most Christian political philosophy in the current philosophical Overton Window is classical liberalism. But Progressivism (Democratic Party) and the New Right (the Republican Party) are squeezing it out. 

“Our good God, our ever-flowing God, our God of Yes and Amen, has always been able to promise far more than we are able to believe. God loves to bury our finite faith under an avalanche of promises and gifts.”

We cannot grasp the Christian worldview as we should if we do not understand the covenant and the kingdom.

The Christian Faith is deeply anti-antinomian. This is a brief elaboration on the Bible’s teaching concerning God‘s law in creation, his law in Moses, and his law in the new covenant.

Every movement away from the Bible is a movement toward an alien, competing word, and that word always leads to darkness, chaos, and damnation.

The Christian worldview is founded the creational worldview. To confuse this sequence is to twist both Christianity and creation.

The United States is the most spectacularly valuable political experiment in world history – because it was founded on Christian principles.

Fundamentalism, modernism, scholasticism, and postmodernism are bad ways of interpreting the Bible.

The canonical or covenantal or worldview-ish way is the only right way.

A brief, direct, easy-to-understand explanation of one of the most harmful ways of thinking in the modern church. 

A recognition of “the near impossibility of simple refutations” might lead to a mutual laying down of arms in the acrimonious sacrament wars of paedobaptists (and paedocommunionists) versus credobaptists (and credocommunionists).

If you’re discouraged and distraught over the surrounding depraved culture or persistent, personal difficulties, you might be helped by this bold, full-throated, biblical defense postmillenialism.

The Battle for Reality is even more pressing than The Battle for the Bible. 

No matter how dire our situation, Jesus Christ is our utterly impregnable hope, and to rely on anyone or anything else is an insecure confidence.
