The 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg is coming this October, and you can be sure dozens of books commemorating the Reformation and its significance will be published. It certainly is a good time to reflect on what the Reformation is all about. Rebecca…
This past Sunday I was privileged to fill in for our pastor at The Heights Church, St. Paul. The rapid cultural change and uncertain social/political climate formed the backdrop for my sermon. The text is Hebrews 13:1-16, with special focus on verses 12-14, and the parallel passage of chapter 11:10-16….
I’m almost finished making my way through G.K. Beale’s A New Testament Biblical Theology: The Unfolding of the Old Testament in the New (Baker Academic, 2011). It has truly been a rewarding experience in so many ways. Some may question the sanity of reading through a 1,000 page theology book….

Homosexuality. The word stirs many reactions today. Many Christians who don’t know homosexuals personally, remain puzzled and scared by this term. Many suspect the word does not picture a reality, only an intentional perversion of God’s created order. Pat answers are easy, and when it comes to homosexuality a simple…
I’m working on my review of Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality by Wesley Hill (Zondervan). You can follow other reviews of the book at Zondervan’s Engaging Church blog, but mine should be up tomorrow. I found this book immensely helpful on many levels, but more later….
The chorus of a popular hymn from the early 20th Century1 goes like this: Saved… by His pow’r divine, Saved… to new life sublime! Life now is sweet and my joy is complete, For I’m Saved, Saved, Saved! It certainly is a thrilling reality, to know oneself as saved by…
American Christianity in general, and Fundamentalism in particular has been greatly impacted by the Revivalist movement. J.C.
