  • Complementarian Jesus…

    It’s also interesting that Jesus, the head and husband, does the washing up (Eph 5:26) and the laundry (5:27), serves his wife (Rom 15:8), chooses the menu and serves the meal (1 Cor 11:23-5), and does the childcare (Matt 19:13-14).

  • Gratefulness or Bitterness

    If you think what you have is greater than what you deserve that’s where thankfulness comes from. If you think what you deserve is greater than what you gave, that’s where bitterness comes from. Andrew WilsonClick to Tweet

  • Finally God the judge implements

    Finally God the judge implements the results of his own sentence. This is not simply a question of heaven and hell, although it is that, but also of rewards (and punishments) that corrsepond with the way we have lived: a crown, treasures in heaven, rest, inheritance, rewards, promises, a rich welcome, responsibility in the age…

  • I think the most

    I think the most helpful way of thinking about evangelism, in response to God’s sovereignty, is the way Paul was told to in Acts 18: stay in this city (Corinth) and keep preaching, because I have many of my people in this city. When you know God is going to save people through you, it…

As Sam Allberry put it the other day, there’s a difference between objecting to apple pie because it’s not like your mum makes it, and objecting…

  • So, despite much popular practice,

    So, despite much popular practice, saying “you’re a Pharisee!” does not mean that the person you’re talking to actually is a Pharisee. More often than not, it means something closer to, “I don’t know who the Pharisees were, what they believed, or why Jesus rebuked them, but I know lots of people hate wearing that…

  • If I come into work

    If I come into work with a black eye and people ask how I got it, it is perfectly reasonable to give a purely physical explanation, and say, ‘because the blood vessels in my ocular area are working overtime to repair damaged tissue.’ But they might feel a bit short-changed with that reply, because physical…
