Adrian Warnock (an influential blogger whom I’ve had in my blogroll for quite some time here at Fundamentally Reformed) has a new book out this year (from Crossway) on the Resurrection. I plan on jumping into this book between now and Easter. It is entitled Raised with Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything. In an [...]
From time to time, I’ll be mining the archives around here. I’m digging up Bob’s best posts from the past. I’m hoping these reruns will still serve my readers. Today’s post was originally published January 9, 2006. I have posted here the power point presentations used in a close pastor friend’s recent 10 week series [...]

The past couple years, Sovereign Grace Ministries has put on a SUPER SALE all through the month of February. I’ve taken advantage of the sale myself in years past. I grabbed up some of their superb music CDs, and also picked up a couple of their song books. (Many of the songs I’ve showcased on [...]

Within fundamentalism, as in other areas of Christianity no doubt, there is quite a bit of confusion over fighting sin. The thinking goes like this: if we erect a big enough fence, or hedge people in with enough rules, we will prevent them from falling into sin. Sadly, this tactic most often fails, to one [...]

I was blessed with a copy of this important book (thanks IVP), and will be reviewing it in a few months (it’s 610 pages long!!). Christianity Today‘s Collin Hansen recently interviewed Prof. Sailhammer about his new book. I’ve included the first question [...]

I recently came across some posts by Dr. Russell Moore (dean of the School of Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) on the subject of Communion. He has contributed to Understanding Four Views on the Lord’s Supper (a Zondervan Couterpoints book). From what I’ve seen in his post, and from the reviews at Amazon, Moore’s [...]

Bob, Thank you for posting this helpful information. Sincerely, Bill
Agreed, Jack. Good observations. Sad, but true.
