Sinclair Ferguson says a number of fine things in his piece for Tabletalk. Here is one: “Justification cannot be abstracted from Christ as if it were a ‘thing’ apart from or added to Him. Chrhist Himself is our justification. We cannot have justification without Christ! Nor can we have Christ without justification!” But I have …

Stick a Fork in It. Climate Change is Done.

You can read more about that here , on the blog of Roy Atwood , president of NSA. Meantime, in a masterpiece of bad timing, some of the gnats-stranglers in the …
A Rabbi With a BLT
A great question was raised in the previous thread which I would like to bring to the top of the discussion. There is an important aspect of all this that we can’t let slide. Andrew asks: “I’m hoping you will respond to Matthew’s more general question, which is the same one I’ve had since you …
Common Ground in Which We May Grow a Veggie or Two
Some may wonder why I appear to be on a food jag. The principle is a simple one. If, for example, I encounter two or three instances of husbands getting angry with their wives and families, you can bet that I will assume that these three guys do not represent an exhaustive list, and the …
Or a Michael Moore Lie Montage
The idea of separation is a biblical idea. Come out from among them and be ye holy (2 Cor. 6:17). But in order to do this it is necessary actually to separate on biblical principle and in a biblical way. We need to learn how God’s intends for His people to be distinct. Too often …
Caverns Under the Heart
CanonWired has a new feature called Brush Strokes — little snippets around a minute in length. Now we know that a cynic might say that this is just theology for people with ADHD. I started to write a lengthy treatise to answer this foul canard, but then I lost interest. But seriously, take a look …

Diligent Oyster Avoidance
The next article consists of J.V. Fesko tackling the “works of the law” in Paul as N.T. Wright construes them, which is to say, as boundary markers. The works of the law for Wright are not the moral good works “which the Reformation tradition loves to hate.” For Wright, the identity markers were things like …
