UPDATE: Lifeway was kind enough to send me this link to an “Author Interview” with Dr. MacArthur regarding this book. UPDATE II: Macarthur’s takedown of John Armstrong is critiqued by Andrew Sandlin. I would like to thank Phenix and Phenix Literary Publicists for providing a review copy of this book. There are two ways IContinue reading “Review: The Truth War by John MacArthur”

Blogging from “Worship and Arts” Part 3
I’d like to thank Campbellsville University for hosting this conference. It’s been great and I hope they have many other similar events. At his third session on “Lament,” Michael Card spoke about Jesus the Lamenter. These are a few thoughts I wrote down in my notebook as I listened. Scripture reading: Isaiah 53. Then heContinue reading “Blogging from “Worship and Arts” Part 3″
Blogging from “Worship and Arts” Part 2
I want to run through some of the highlights of Michael Card’s teaching sessions on “The Lost Language of Lament.” These are all short summaries from my notebook. On 9-11, Calvin Seerveld called Michael and said, “See….you have no songs to sing.” The language of Lament is the lost language of worship, and that lossContinue reading “Blogging from “Worship and Arts” Part 2″
Blogging from “Worship and Arts” Part 1
I’m going to try and blog the conference a bit. (Thursday morning, 9:09 a.m.) I’m at the “Worship and Arts” conference sponsored by Campbellsvile University. (Actually at a local church) Small crowd. Michael Card is the main teacher. John Mark Macmillan- who I’ve never heard of- is leading worship. He brought a band. It’s prettyContinue reading “Blogging from “Worship and Arts” Part 1″
What about “Us Vs Them” Church Ads?
UPDATE III: Joel Hunter has written a massive substantial response to the podcasts that go along with the ads. UPDATE II: The pastor whose church produced the ads has a blog that is full of provocative ideas. If you want a glimpse into what the emerging church growth culture looks like, this is a veryContinue reading “What about “Us Vs Them” Church Ads?”
Review: Evangelical Feminism: A New Path To Liberalism? by Wayne Grudem
Wayne Grudem is accumulating an impressive collection of credentials as an influential theologian within conservative evangelicalism. Grudem’s Systematic Theology is as close to a standard evangelical theology as you can find today. His writing on Biblical prophecy is standard reading for anyone interested in issues debated among charismatic and cessationist evangelicals. His work on genderContinue reading “Review: Evangelical Feminism: A New Path To Liberalism? by Wayne Grudem”
The Fearsome Pirate’s Ship Is No More
Frequently brilliant. Dependably provocative. Totally truthful. One of the best bloggers on the net, hands down. Infuriating. Frustrating. And, of course, a person who drove me back to the books and my Bible over and over again, making me better every time. Josh S has ended his blogging career, and I salute him. From “IContinue reading “The Fearsome Pirate’s Ship Is No More”
Tom Servo! Save Us!
My DaVinci Code Review. (Thanks to Nathan Bell for the Photoshops.) I was going to write a review that attempted to be a coherent narrative, but considering we are talking about The DaVinci Code, one of the worst movies I’ve seen in years, that would be handing the film something it definitely didn’t give toContinue reading “Tom Servo! Save Us!”
Review: “V” For Vendetta
Because my son is a fan of the original graphic novel, “V for Vendetta,” my drive home from the theater this afternoon was a seminar in all the ways the new film differed from the novel. Those observations cemented my impression that the film I’d seen not only differed from the original book in waysContinue reading “Review: “V” For Vendetta”
Phil Johnson on “Is The Reformation Over?”
Update: Those of you who keep mentioning that this post is disjointed need to remember that it is simply some interaction with the main points of Phil Johnson’s talk. There’s no attempt for this to stand alone; it’s not meant to be polished or comprehensive. Tim Challies is “liveblogging” the Grace Community Church Shepherd’s Conference.Continue reading “Phil Johnson on “Is The Reformation Over?””
