If you are at all interested in what an insightful and intelligent theologian has to say — I’d heartily recommend this interview. Dr. R.C. Sproul has been a hero of sorts of mine for over 15 years now. He outlines here several of the current challenges facing us younger evangelicals.

Simple Atonement
Posted in Bible, Christ, Christianity, Church, Faith, God, Jesus, Religion, tagged Atonement, John Stott on December 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
…The biblical gospel of atonement is of God satisfying himself by substituting himself for us.
The concept of substitution may be said, then, to lie at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man. Man [...]

If the gospel message has been more powerfully proclaimed in six minutes – I haven’t heard it done.

Seeking the God Who Is

To the spiritual perplexity which exercised so many of the rarest souls of the nineteenth century, God appeared as a Being whom men desired to find but could not. But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also [...]
Lifestyle Evangelism is Overrated
Posted in Bible, Christ, Christianity, Church, Faith, God, Jesus, Religion, tagged Preaching, Sanctification, Evangelism, Jared Wilson, Tim Chester, Steve Timmis on December 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Francis of Assissi is alleged to have said, “Preach the gospel always; if necessary use words.” That may be a great medieval sound bite, but it falls short of what the Bible teaches about evangelism. Jesus began his public ministry by “proclaiming the good news of God” (Mark 1:14). When he gained a reputation as [...]

It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. - II Samuel 11:1
Lives aren’t built to change at Target on a [...]
My Bleeding Obsession With Perfection

‘But’ — people say to me — ‘if you consider that apart from fulfillment of the Christian teaching there is no reasonable life, and if you love that reasonable life, why do you not fulfill the commands?’ I reply that I am a horrible creature and deserve blame and contempt for not fulfilling them… Blame [...]
Cross Theology
Posted in Bible, Christ, Christianity, Church, Faith, God, Jesus, Religion, tagged Atonement, Cross on December 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. -The Apostle Paul, Galatians 6:14, ESV
The cross emphatically says that I am entirely whole, I am unconditionally loved, I am unequivocally forgiven, and I am unashamedly righteous.
As a [...]

…it would be a nice way to journal our own ramblings, banter back and forth, and share stuff with one another. You can do one paragraph if that’s what you have, share a link or two, post a Youtube clip, or whatever you feel like.
Here is one such blog I know of: ‘Thinklings’
Think about it.
