Mohler and SBTS Profs Dissect McLaren

Albert Mohler hosted a discussion today of Brian McLaren’s new book A New Kind of Christianity. Panel members include Bruce Ware, Jim Hamilton, Greg Wills, and Stephen Wellum.
It is no surprise that this panel is very critical of the book. All agree that the book is an open renunciation of the historic Christian faith. [...]

Corey Haim, 1971-2010

Corey Haim was my age and was a teen movie star back when I knew something about teen movie stars. His is a sad story, and this is sad news indeed.
“As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor [...]

David Platt in SBTS Chapel

I believe David Platt (@plattdavid) to be the most passionate and compelling missions-mobilizer in Southern Baptist life today. He brought a powerful and convicting message in Southern Seminary’s chapel service that I think everyone needs to hear. His text is Luke 9:57-62, a text which he argues presents us with three questions about our [...]

He Loves Jesus but Hates God

Tim Challies delivers an appropriately stinging review of Brian McLaren’s new book A New Kind of Christianity. Among other things, Challies observes that McLaren loves Jesus but hates God. In fact, Challies is convinced that this book is a de-conversion narrative that shows that McLaren has unambiguously apostatized from the Christian faith. He writes:

Is it sin if it’s unintentional?

My daily Bible reading plan had me in Leviticus 4 and 5 yesterday and got me to thinking about the Bible’s teaching on unintentional sin. The Bible makes a distinction between sins committed intentionally and those that are unintentional. The Law of Moses, for instance, distinguishes premeditated murder from manslaughter and assigns the death-penalty for [...]

To My Students

On Friday night, I exhorted the new students of Boyce College, “Don’t turn from God when you turn to your books.” I took that line from an essay that had an enormous impact on me when I was in seminary. The essay is B. B. Warfield’s “The Religious Life of Theological Students.” It is an [...]
