• Charles Wesley Today is the 224th anniversary of the death of Charles Wesley, one of history’s most well-known and best-loved hymn writers. Tim Challies Mar 29, 2012 comments
• When I Am God Recently I took some time to think about how life changes when I am god. The results were not pretty. Tim Challies Mar 22, 2012 comments
• What Happens to Children Who Die? This is an issue almost every Christian faces at some point during his pilgrimage and it is one for which there is no easy answer. Tim Challies Mar 12, 2012 comments
• Kony 2012 This campaign has exploded into the international consciousness and is demanding some kind of response. So what do we do? Tim Challies Mar 09, 2012 comments
• The Bible and Birth Control The Bible is silent on any explicit discussion of the subject of birth control. (If you are wondering about Onan, feel free to scroll to the bottom of this article.) Tim Challies Mar 02, 2012 comments
• Learning to Stand There is an enemy who devotes his entire existence to the destruction of God’s work and God’s people. Every Christian is engaged in battle against him. Tim Challies Feb 23, 2012 comments
• The Middle-Aged White Guy's Guide to Christian Rap It has to be one of the most unexpected phenomena in the church today—that white middle-aged pastors are talking about rap music and, even more strangely, actually listening to it and recommending it. I don’t know that anyone would have or could have predicted it. Tim Challies Feb 22, 2012 comments
• John Piper's Masculine Christianity Piper's language of “masculine Christianity” is not language I would be likely to adopt for my own use, but I don’t see that what he says here is substantially different from what he and other complementarians have been saying for years. Tim Challies Feb 14, 2012 comments
• How to Build Unity in Your Church God has equipped us to build and maintain this kind of unity and that all we need to do is use the tools he has equipped us with. But how has he equipped us? Tim Challies Jan 23, 2012 comments
• Satan's Great Desire I’ve always known that God calls me to love the people I covenant with in my local church, but until now I haven’t been quite so aware of the danger of falling out of love. Tim Challies Jan 20, 2012 comments
• On Doing Ordinary Things It has come as kind of a shock to me, now that I am a pastor and preaching on a regular basis, that the vast majority of the sermons I preach will be rather ordinary. Tim Challies Jan 18, 2012 comments
• Visual Theology If you have read this blog for any length of time, you know that I’ve got a thing for infographics. I asked one designer to take a shot at displaying theordo salutis, which is to say, the order of salvation, which refers to the sequence of conceptual steps involved in the salvation of the Christian. I will let the graphic explain it from here. Tim Challies Jan 13, 2012 comments
