All right, then. More on Steve Wilkins. Actually, this is more on the sociology and demographics of the thing. From where I sit, in the Idaho nickel seats, this is what the lay of the land looks like. I have urged every Reformed believer who has had any interest whatever in the federal vision controversy …
Like a Rock
Minister: Lift up your hearts! Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord! Lord, who can live with You? Who can dwell within Your tent? Who can live upon Your holy hill? The one who walks straight up, The one who does the just and right, The one speaks the truth within. He does not …
Fellowship and Office
Once there was a young man who worked for a retail store that was owned by a fellow Christian, and his job was that of a cashier. Although he was tender-hearted, he was also undisciplined and weak-willed, and when he was running short on funds one month, he “borrowed” from the till one day with …
Blessed and Broken
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body” (Matt. 26:26). As Jesus was instituting this Supper among His disciples, note in particular what He did with the bread. He picked it up, and then He …
More on Steve Wilkins

This will not be long and involved because the issues are not complicated. First, Steve unambiguously affirms the exhaustive sovereignty of God over all things. “‘2.

Normally I would file comments on the Steve Wilkins deal under Auburn Avenue Stuff. Why not? It’s the name of his church, after all. But there is another aspect of this, and so I want to make just a few comments about this thing under “A Justice Primer.” This is not an allegation of personal …
Audio Auburn Stuff
The audio of Steve Wilkins’s examination are now available. Session 1 is here, and session 2 is right next to it. Three feet over we have session 3, and then, in the blue binding, we have session 4. I hope to post a few further comments on this whole subject a little bit later.
Hot Providence
After much waiting and anticipation, the copies of Hot Providence came in last night. You can get them through Canon Press here. It still says pre-order on the page, but they are in fact here and ready to ship. You can also have a peek inside if you like. A hearty well-done to Luke and …
Doctrines on a Page
Let us never overlook the obvious. The Lord feeds His people. He does not call out a people from the world in order to let them starve. His grace is all-sufficient, and He loves to feed us in remarkable ways, and in remarkable places. The wilderness is no barrier for Him—water flows from the Rock, …
How Water Means
We serve the living God, and we are to be characterized by that same life, the life which He has imparted to us. This is the basic division in Scripture—life and death. The division is not between those who know the passwords and those who do not. The division is not between those who go …
