Some Thoughts on Cross-Shaped Worship
I was thinking this morning that our worship of God is Cross-shaped. The daily working out of our salvation is not only vertical, toward him, but horizontal, toward one another, as the gospels and epistles so consistently show. The Bible doesn't separate vertical from horizontal; worship isn't worship without both,

A New Evangelical Consituency

We should be exploring what it is and how it works, rather than just looking at polls to see what is hot. A serious engagement with cul

Spurgeon: The Gospel Invitation Is To All (Even Dynamite-Men)

God decrees that certain things will come to pass, but he also commands things that do not come to pass. This distinction in the way God wills has been expressed in various ways throughout the centuries. Theologians have spoken of God's sovereign will and moral will, his efficient will and his permissive will, his secret will and his revealed will, his will of decree and his will of command, his decretive will and his preceptive will, etc. We decided for now on "d
