Here is a web site that looks like a promising bundle of theological resources. Kudos to the guys who got this going again.
Not Wrath for Lust; Lust as Wrath
“Burning lust that overflows is not an example of men getting away from God (as they like to tell themselves); it is an example of the wrath of God catching up with men” (Fidelity, p. 31).
And His Kids Are Ugly . . .
“So why don’t churches routinely conduct annual reviews of their ministers? Because ministers don’t want to be told that their preaching is disorganized, hard to follow, irrelevant, and poorly reasoned” (Gordon, Why Johnny Can’t Preach, p. 34).
Ready or Not
Suppose that an American daisy-cutter bomb had been dropped on Mecca, and blew up their sacred rock. Suppose further that through a series of circumstances, a Southern Baptist gentleman proposed building a Christian chapel on the lip of that crater. We would be justified in supposing this man to be any number of things, but …

Those words can be false and idolatrous, but when they are believed, they still serve in a foundational way. When they are not believed, that culture has entered a sacrificial crisis. Smoke still ascends from their temples, but no one …
Naming the Problem Rightly
“The problem is not outside ourselves in the x-rated videos, or in the skin magazines, or with the porn on the net, or with Suzy Q sunbathing next door. The problem is within — even within believers. This is simply another way of saying that the problem with pornography is not the pornography” (Fidelity, p. …
