My friend, Matt Anderson, has a piece in Christianity Today on a theology of the body. You might not agree with everything, but I commend Matt for giving attention and hard thinking to a much overlooked doctrine. And, the article is extremely well written. In my opinion, Matt is one of the best writers in […]

Earthen Vessels: Why Our Bodies Matter to Our Faith
Matthew Anderson’s book Earthen Vessels: Why Our Bodies Matter to Our Faith has recently been released, and it is well worth picking up. I haven’t finished it yet, but I have really enjoyed what I have read so far, and am looking forward to the whole thing. The body is a much neglected subject in […]
What the Sermon on the Mount Does Not Mean
Lloyd-Jones, in Studies in the Sermon on the Mount: What, then, are the characteristics of the true Christian? Put positively, it is that he “does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Our Lord says: “Not every one that says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that […]

The Counterintuitive Nature of the Gospel
CJ Mahaney, in The Cross Centered Life: Do you see any traces of [a sense of] condemnation in your life? Don’t be surprised if you do. But don’t keep carrying the burden! Because of the gospel’s power you can be completely free of all condemnation. Not mostly free; completely free. Don’t buy the lie that […]
Don't Divide Christians into Two Groups
Lloyd-Jones, in Studies in the Sermon on the Mount: Read the Beatitudes, and there you have a description of what every Christian is meant to be. It is not merely the description of some exceptional Christians. . . . I pause with that for just a moment, and emphasize it, because I think we must […]
John Piper Interviews Rick Warren on Doctrine — And Thoughts on the Significance of Their Relationship
The video of John Piper interviewing Rick Warren is now online. Here’s some of what John Piper had to say about it at the Desiring God blog: The nature of the interview is mainly doctrinal. I read Rick’s The Purpose Driven Life with great care. I brought 20 pages of quotes and questions to the […]
