To what extent can humans be said to contribute to their own salvation? Pelagians answer, “Entirely”; Semi-Pelagians say, “In part.“ Neither of these answers, from a classic evangelical perspective, does justice to the biblical account of sin; nor does either give the comfort

If Jesus Christ is not risen, then we are still under God’s judgment and there is no meaning at all to be sought in Christianity. It is a dead religion: not only hopelessly irrelevant to us, but a vicious lie that has misled millions. Why? Because the gospel is not a promise

If Jesus Christ is risen, then the age to come has already dawned and this age of sin and death is fading away. Everyone must hear this Good News and embrace it for their salvation.

It is so easy to set aside God's ordained means of grace and to create our own private and public rituals. In reality, we are an individualistic and self-assured lot. We believe that the Christian life consists chiefly in finding out what needs to be done, and doing it.

Why are so many drawn to mysticism and esoteric spirituality today? Because they promise meaning without community, transcendence without fidelity, redemption without a redeemer.

The treasure that the church carries in earthen vessels is the gospel—the announcement that God has done for us in Christ that which we could never do for ourselves, even with his help. This is all we have at the end of the day, and without it our ancient pedigree and customs,

Many assume that as religion declines, atheism will rise. But history tells a different story. The alternative to Christianity is rarely pure secularism—it’s almost always some form of mysticism, occultism, or pantheism.

The creeds weren’t an addition to Scripture. They were summaries of biblical teaching, crafted to refute heresies that distorted what was already clear in Scripture.

The shift from organized religion to “spirituality” is not a loss of belief—it’s a migration. It’s not that people don’t believe in anything; we just want belief without structure, doctrine, or accountability.

It was a pleasure to have a special roundtable discussion with WesleyHuff as well as Mike Kruger and Daniel Wallace (CSNTM) about the Bible and early Christianity. Lookout for the discussion next week Sola Media.

If we really believe that we are helpless to save ourselves, as Christians any more than pagans, the Sacraments become for us not a means for attaining grace, but for receiving grace. They are not rituals through which we proclaim our willing and running, but through which God

Science describes how the world works, but it can’t tell us why it matters. The deepest questions—Who am I? Why am I here?—belong to theology.

Faith is not unique to Christians. Everyone has faith in something—including scientists, who trust that nature is orderly, their minds are reliable, and that truth exists.

I wonder what our Orthodox interlocutors would make of the following conclusion: From my perspective, both Orthodox and Roman Catholic theologies tend to collapse ontological and ethical categories—the East in a preference for good creation overwhelming sin, while the West tilted

I joined the Essential Anglican Podcast for a discussion on the importance of the Nicene Creed. We also discussed how the creeds can be a wonderful source of comfort and a tool for evangelism. open.spotify.com/episode/4Zx0yK…
