On this podcast, Brian Chilton shares a lesson that he taught at Westfield Baptist Church on proper biblical interpretation. Using four steps, he notes how one should draw out what the Bible actually says rather than interjecting into the Bible what a person wants it to say. Improper biblical...

In December 1865, the Rev. Philipps Brooks travelled to the land of Israel. As he stood and overlooked the town of Bethlehem on Christmas Eve, Brooks was so moved by what he saw that he penned the words of the celebrated Christmas hymn, “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” Writing home to his...

Pastor Mike Winger posted a response to me on July 23, 2019 on the subject of the atonement. I watched it at that time, but never responded to it, as I was traveling, Michael Brown had responded to me as well, and I just didn’t get around to it. But I kept it in the back of my mind, and...

Tis the season to have to respond to another low in internet “polemics,” and so we did, responding to JD Hall’s show, which featured a picture he trolled from my social media feed, “James White is What Would Happen if Ignorance and Arrogance Had a Love Child.” Yep,...

When Monday morning comes we often feel like that! There really was no point! All the efforts seem a waste! I'm exhausted in the work and think I've had enough!

Some people don’t believe in a global flood. Since the geological revolution in the 1800s—driven by naturalistic, deistic, agnostic, and atheistic assumptions—some Christians have been attempting to fit the long ages into Scripture.

The experts tell us that multitasking is a myth. This is because, for most people, when we divide our attention between multiple tasks, we experience a diminishing return in our productivity.

While this is true for most people, it does not accurately describe God. In God’s sovereignty,...

If I remember 8th-grade math correctly, and if I am hearing some of my fellow evangelicals clearly, either they or I have transgressed a basic principle of math. I’m pretty sure they are the ones who goofed about a basic issue, our worldview.

What I mean is that, as a people, we are a priori co...

A Word from Bob: You’re reading Part 4 of a four-part blog mini-series on The Forgotten Church Mothers. When we ponder early church history, our minds naturally focus on the Church Fathers. Sadly, we normally fail even to consider the Church Mothers. In our modern Western Evangelical world,...

 Hezekiah was one of those kings of Judah that really sticks out in the biblical record.  And he sticks out in a good way.  The author of Kings, the Chronicler, and the prophecies of Isaiah contain quite a bit of information on king Hezekiah. His story, reign, and literary references...

Recently, my family set out on an afternoon walk. Beauty surrounded us; the fall colors set the trees aglow, and the sun shimmered upon the lake as it set. There was much glory to behold that day. The display of the changing season was spectacular. Upon returning home, I was reflecting on all we...

Luther teaches that the catechism holds the entirety of the Christian faith. Even the educated laity and clergy need simple words and short summaries; how much more the simple and uneducated? Actually that’s why Luther thinks the simple need the catechism so badly: the educated have lost or...

I got really angry the other day. I have to admit I am ashamed as I type these words. I wasn’t angry for some noble reason. There was no godly anger. I was angry because I had been personally offended, slighted in my opinion. And it was over something so trivial, so unimportant. But here I...

In 2019 economists expect American shoppers to spend a whopping $100 million dollars on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This number is a reminder that Americans love to shop. Brick and mortar stores. Online retailers. It really doesn’t matter. Americans love to shop.
