Christian Living Resources, Bible Study Tools, Jesus Christ

In my work at LifeWay, I focus primarily on The Gospel Project. We’ve been excited to watch the launch and progress of this new curriculum.

We are not beholden to the authority of “cultural consensus.” The King has already given us a program. And that is why we can’t get with the world’s.

Today, I’m glad to welcome author and professor, Mary Jo Sharp, for a conversation about apologetics and the importance of listening.

If you’ve ever counseled people who are constantly questioning the sincerity of their faith or the legitimacy of their salvation, you’ll want to read and recommend this book. It’s one of the best books on assurance I’ve come across.

Don’t fall into the trap of making numerical growth the goal, but don’t fall into the other ditch of being satisfied with little to no fruit. Instead, examine what the Scripture teaches about fruitfulness.

What if every day of the year could speak? What would the message of each day bring? I wonder.

There’s no denying the significant differences between Andy Stanley and Tim Keller when it comes to theology and ministry. But we can learn from them both in how to respectfully engage the unsaved people in our midst at church.

In certain Christian circles, we can write 50-page criticisms of The Shack, but we can’t come up with a better story. We grasp the issues, but others grasp the medium. The same is true of movies, music, spoken word videos, and other forms of art.

While Les Misérables was playing, we could hear people weeping. When it was finished, the theater burst into applause. The “experience” of this movie got me thinking. How many people are moved by Les Misérables without really knowing why?

We shouldn’t let the season of celebrating Christ’s birth slip by without asking God to continue to do a work in our lives.

Despite the risks of weighing in too early, I thought it would be worth pointing out a few things the evangelical church could learn from the losses of the Republican Party this year.

So what happens if there is a tie? This video explains how we would proceed, including the Secretary of State acting as president until we get our act together. :)

Reestablishing the role of the Gospels, Pennington wants to widen our view of “the gospel” to include the expansive account of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, and, thus, avoid the error of evangelical reductionism:

Conservatives watch Fox News and utilize conservative fact checkers. Liberals watch MSNBC and utilize liberal fact checkers. Who is right? Who is wrong?

Too many times, we think of something as “Christian” only when it is directly tied to our being “citizens of heaven” instead of our “living on earth.” But I don’t think we can separate the two.

It is no surprise that Sertillanges’ The Intellectual Life is still in print after so many years. The truths in this book assist the scholar in understanding the purpose of research, the desire for truth, and the cultivation of healthy work habits.

What does the gospel have to do with our work? Earlier this year, I sat down with J.D. Greear to talk about “the gospel from 8 to 5.”

The gospel is not the ordo salutis. It is not Grudem’s systematic theology. Nor is it the five solas.

Last month, I posted the interview Dan did with me for his book. Today, we’re talking about the particular challenges faced by second generation Christians.

Allowing abortion in the case of rape is not the way to express sympathy toward a victim of this crime. Abortion only destroys the life of another victim.
