I would encourage our readers to go and watch the presentation of the PCA Strategic Plan by Bryan Chapell and then listen to this lecture entitled “The Fight Against False Optimism” by D.G. Hart on Machen. The lecture is excellent. But what is most striking are the parallels between Charles Eerdman and Bryan Chapell as [...]

I’m encouraged that the pastoral staff at historic Tenth Presbyterian Church is still devoting their time to studying God’s Word and prayer.  How do I know?  I’ve arrived for the evening session of the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology and Twitter is blocked on Tenth’s wifi.  I’ll have to be sneaky and use the 3G [...]

If you’re able to make it to Wheaton, IL this weekend, I highly recommend it.  Westminster Theological Seminary is bringing the Full Confidence Tour to Bethel OPC on Saturday, April 24 and Sunday, April 25.  The original plans have been changed a bit due to several faculty getting stranded in Scotland as a result of [...]

In God’s providence, it is certainly no coincidence that the PCA Strategic Report with it accompanying videos by Bryan Chapell has come out publicly the same time as the Together For the Gospel conference videos. I’ve watched Thabiti Anyabwile’s and John MacArthur’s presentations today and then the Bryan Chapell videos after that. I’ve gotta tell [...]

ABC News recently reported on the events regarding Dr. Bruce Waltke and his comments on evolution and the church.  Dr. Peter Enns comments in the video. HT: Darryl Hart

Over at Ref21 Carl Trueman has said this in response to the idea proposed by Bruce Waltke that disbelief in evolution would lead to the church being perceived as a cult (please do not hear that Trueman does not regard disbelief in evolution as “whacky.”): The next level of the matter, of course, is whether [...]

Bruce Waltke has been forced out at RTS Orlando over the comments he made in a video for the BioLogos Foundation.  The video has since been removed.  USA Today (of all places) reports. Update: there is some question as to whether Waltke offered his resignation independently or if he was asked to resign. HT: Bill [...]

This new volume by Kevin DeYoung should be a great resource for the church. Our church is currently working our way through the HC during our confession of faith. And one of the reasons why I wish I had Kevin’s book now is that we’re kinda stuck on question and answer 74. It reads like [...]

Matt Lauer interviewed President Obama recently and asked him a question regarding his search for a church. At the time of the interview, President Obama had not yet joined a church in Washington.  The President stated “what we’ve decided for now is not to join a single church, and the reason is because Michelle and [...]

Last week we posted a few thoughts on Bruce Waltke’s latest video.  In the video, Waltke urged the church to accept evolution for fear of becoming a cult.  As I suspected, Waltke had not seen the video before it was released. Robert C. (Ric) Cannada, Jr., Chancellor and CEO Reformed Theological Seminary released a statement [...]
