My name is Denny Burk. I am an Associate Professor of Biblical Studies at Boyce College, the undergraduate arm of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. I also serve as an Associate Pastor at Kenwood Baptist Church, which is in Louisville as well.
I am a Baptist Christian. My doctrinal commitments can be summarized in two Statements of faith:
(1) The Abstract of Principles
(2) The Baptist Faith & Message 2000
I believe that God made man for His glory. God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him through His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and bodily raised to life. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father in glory. Because of Christ’s victory over death and because of His exaltation by the Father, He reigns forever over all.
Therefore, I agree with Abraham Kuyper who said: “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’”

Comments Policy
I welcome blog comments, although they are often notorious for unfruitful and uncharitable discussions.
I hope this can be a place where we “seek understanding” before critiquing, where we are quick to listen and slow to speak, where we can evaluate and critique each others views charitably, where we encourage and build up each other rather than tearing down and destroying each other.
In order to provide a basic level of accountability and transparency, all commenters must use their own names. Pseudonyms are not allowed.
I often don’t have time to read all the comments. Nevertheless, when I read comments and find them getting outside of these guidelines, I reserve the right to edit or delete them.
I would encourage commenters to consider carefully the following commands and principles regarding our speech:
“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt” (Col. 4:6).
“By your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matt. 12:37).
“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor” (Rom. 12:10).
“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear” (Eph. 4:29).
“Speak the truth in love” (Eph. 4:15, 25).
“If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless” (James 1:26).
