This month sees the UK release of my new book, Pleased to Dwell: A Biblical Introduction to the Incarnation (Christian Focus). So over on biblicalpreaching.net – my blog for preachers – I am running a guest series. Great guest writers from the UK and USA will be offering brief posts on particular aspects of the Incarnation to …
When I have the opportunity to talk about holiness I find myself using the language of delight, love, joy, and freedom. Inevitably this will rub someone the wrong way and they will ask a good question, “How can you say we have freedom to live how we want when we are given clear imperatives that …
Everything. God wants everything we have, and all of who we are. Not more and not less. God’s ambition for us is heart-based: he wants whole hearts. That includes our mind, soul, and strength. Or, in contemporary terms, our time, our employment, our money, our devices, our attitudes, values, marriages, plans, and everything else we …
Psalm 46 is always a highly valued text in times of war. Which is probably why, for a while now, we haven’t heard too much about it. Maybe we should? In the past the news of an impending threat would come in the form of a breathless messenger coming from the next town. Today we …
In the last week or so I’ve been revisiting the primary sources of the often so-called New England Antinomian Controversy of 1636-1638. I’m repeatedly struck by the differences that were discovered among a group of people that assumed they were all on the same theological page. Yes, they knew that differing opinions were held with …
Where do we stand with God? Is he pleased with us? Are we confident about the future—sure about eternal life? Hopefully, yes, but let’s pause to think about it. And let’s ask the question in light of God as the Father, Son, and Spirit God. Justification—our engaging God’s righteousness—is a biblical linchpin for Christians. The …
In Galatians, Paul makes several reference to living by the Spirit, walking in step with the Spirit, being led by the Spirit, and sowing to the Spirit. What does this look like in every day life? It seems to me that the Spirit tends to suffer on both sides of the church today. On the …
Boredom. It can set in for all different kinds of reasons. I remember as a kid, it was usually because what had previously entertained me became predictable. Overuse (or abuse) of that entertainment meant that playing video games, shooting hoops, watching TV, riding my bike, etc., began to grow stale. Somehow, in some way, I …
Knowledge can be interesting, useful, and random. This morning I experienced random knowledge on a BBC radio program. The presentation featured an expert on the properties and uses of lithium. He helped connect two worlds for me. On the one hand I knew that lithium is used to treat bipolar disease. On the other hand …
Jesus was tempted in the wilderness at least twice. I know, there were three temptations, stones to bread, etc. But I am thinking about the other temptation time described in Mark 1:35-39. Mark launches his gospel with “a day in the life of Messianic ministry.” During that Sabbath the first disciples got to see Jesus …
