INTRODUCTION How do we as individuals respond to the situation we find ourselves in? How can we be faithful in our generation? These very practical questions, and they require answers that are equally practical. What are we to do? How are we to live? THE TEXTS And Lot … [Read more...]
Yelling At My Windshield, Part 13
I have resumed my duties of listening to the Westminster West conference tapes, and have made it all the way to the Q & A. Imagine my surprise when these worthy gentlemen (in effect) all denied the imputation of the active obedience of Christ. A question was asked which … [Read more...]
Spiraling Away
I have recently been doing some thinking on Psalm 115. In the eighth verse, the psalmist tells us that men become like the idols they worship. And since he has already explained that all idols--whether formed by the hands or forged in cracked brains--are blind, deaf, dumb and … [Read more...]

Yelling At My Windshield, Part 11
Finishing up Dr. Godfrey's tape, I realized that it was not until the last couple minutes that I encountered any doctrinal or theological disagreement. Of course, he was wrong about the Federal Vision throughout, but his treatment of Paul and Calvin was admirable. Would that he … [Read more...]
Contrasts and Parallels
The various turmoils in the wilderness which the Jews experienced were all recorded, and they were recorded, Paul says, as examples for the new covenant believers at Corinth. Because of this, the one who assumes that he stands, needs to take heed lest he fall. The modern … [Read more...]
Clothed With Christ in Worship
Never forget that God sees the heart. He knows every thought, every intention, every motive, every excuse, every rationalization, and every motion in your mind. This is the God you gather before in worship. Nothing is obscure to Him simply because you are surrounded by others. … [Read more...]
