Should I Still Read His Books (Or Listen To His Music)?

Huh? That Bill guy sure comes up with some rather bizarre titles. But there is in fact a purpose in a piece like this, and for the Christian it has some practical and pastoral implications. It has to do with

Christian Bigamists

Feb 8, 2019

No, I am not talking here about various aberrant religious groups, including some Mormon subgroups today. There may be a few nutters out there who claim to be Christians and actually promote bigamy, polygamy and the like, but they are

No More Comfortable Christianity: Time For Prophetic Proclamation and Confrontation

Feb 3, 2019

There comes a time when business as usual just does not cut it. When the surrounding culture grows ever deeper and darker with evil, immorality, death, and destruction, Christians can no longer just ramble along as always. When satanic evil

‘Holy Spirit Only’ Christians

Jan 26, 2019

Sometimes Christians who seek to pass themselves off as the most spiritual and the most godly are often the most carnal and the most arrogant. That is, in an effort to impress others with just how spiritual they are, they

The Bible, and More or Less of Moore

Jan 12, 2019

OK, a few quick confessions: I know very little about American Bible teacher Beth Moore, and up till this point I have not had a desire to learn more. Thus when a little storm erupted recently on the social media

And Another 23 Recent Theological Titles

OK, in what has now become an irregular series, with an admittedly odd number of titles, here is another list of some recent books on theology and related topics which I have been reading of late. Some of these titles

The Battle for Religious Freedom in Australia

Dec 17, 2018

Plenty of ink has already been spilled on the government response to the recently-released Ruddock report on religious freedom, but let me present a few more words on it. First, I will offer a number of brief considerations, and then

The Assault on Christianity: War Within and War Without

Dec 5, 2018

Things are getting worse by the day for the church in the West. Yes, much good is still happening, and many strong churches still exist. But most honest and discerning observers would see that overall the church is in a

John Allen Chau, Missions, Truth, and Other Weighty Matters

Nov 30, 2018

How NOT To Respond To the Evils of Our Day

Nov 5, 2018

Anyone who knows a bit about me and my ministry knows that I deal with a lot of rather unpleasant stuff – evil, dark and destructive matters. Whether it is things like abortion, or Islamic jihad, or the war on

Our Woeful Churches

Oct 18, 2018

Anyone who says Jesus was only about preaching a message soaked in happy, uplifting and positive vibes has clearly not read the four gospels. Everywhere in them we find Jesus speaking about hell and judgment to come more than anyone

The Perilous State of Our Theological Illiteracy

Oct 17, 2018

Time was, those who were the most concerned about good theology, who most stressed the importance of biblical truth, and who most sought to order their lives under the Word of God were evangelicals. Sadly it seems like this is

“Christian” Colleges – Another One Bites the Dust

Christians Living Like Atheists: Where Are the Warriors?

Sep 8, 2018

One of the biggest problems we find in the Western church today are countless people claiming to be Christians who are living like atheists. There is no discernible difference between how they live and how any pagan lives. The lifestyles

Packer, Preaching and the Puritans

Aug 29, 2018

I confess: I love these three Ps. James Packer is one of my favourite theologians; the Puritans are among my most respected and revered Christians; and solid biblical preaching is always terrific to sit under. So here we have all
