My good friend Jared has written an excellent article calling for a stance for Truth in an age of neo-moralism, unclarity, and uncertainty that has crept into many churches and movements, predominantly found within the 20-something demographic, where the cry is for social justice instead of fleeing from the Divine justice to come.
The Gospel According to [...]
προσ - to, towardsκυνέω - to kiss
προσκυνέω: to crouch, crawl, or fawn, like a dog at his master’s feet; hence, to prostrate one’s self, after the eastern custom, to do reverence or homage to any one, by kneeling or prostrating one’s self before him, to express in attitude or gesture one’s complete dependence on or submission [...]
I highly recommend listening to the following messages from the Clarus ‘08 conference with Dr. Michael Horton and Dr. D.A. Carson. You can download them here as well. I’ve listened to almost all of them and they are excellent.
Is it possible to have a purely regenerate church? Below is a resolution that was passed at the 2008 SBC convention.

I am sure many of you are familiar with Tim Keller, pastor and church planter extraordinaire of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York, and a PCA poster boy for his church planting work in New York.

I’ve been working through J. Gresham Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism and came across a quote as he was comparing the religion of the Judaizer’s in Galatia with the religion of Paul, that follows up from my last thought from the previous post.
He writes, “Such an attempt to piece out the work of Christ by our own merit…is [...]
I mentioned in Part I that a place cannot exist where we are punished for our sins, though our guilt has been forgiven by Christ. I would like to expound this thought some more, drawing from Francis Turretin’s Elenctic Theology.
The idea that Purgatory is a place where you are punished for things that you are [...]
Galatians 1:6-9:
I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach [...]
That seems to be the common response amongst many, if not the majority of evangelical Christians.

For the most part, American Christianity has turned Christianity into a focus on man instead [...]
