Dr. Mohler responds to the firestorm in the media over his recent article on homosexuality. In my opinion, Dr. Mohler is one of the foremost Christian thinkers in our day on the theological and pastoral implications of homosexuality. He compassionately and biblically addresses both practicing homosexuals and sincere Christians who struggle (for whatever reason) with same-sex attraction patterns. I commend his articles to all who are seeking to wrestle with this issue. For pastors seeking to counsel such individuals, Mohler's insights are a must-read.

Early Indications Suggest The Surge is Working
Earlier this week, Justin Taylor and Denny Burk pointed to an op-ed piece by Robert Kagan in the Washington Post which suggested that the surge was working: "Leading journalists have been reporting for some time that the war was hopeless, a fiasco that could not be salvaged by more troops and a new counterinsurgency strategy. The conventional wisdom in December held that sending more troops was politically impossible after the antiwar tenor of the midterm elections. It was practically impossible because the extra troops didn't exist. Even if the troops did exist, they could not make a … [Read more...] about Early Indications Suggest The Surge is Working

By Faith Alone
The issue of justification by faith alone is batted around a lot these days, given the influence of the New Perspective(s) on Paul exposed by folks like N.T. Wright, who develop their theology from scholars such as E.P. Sanders and James D.G. Dunn. But there's another movement that seems to dovetail with the New Perspective(s) on Paul (NPP), but receive less press. It is called the Federal Vision, and it can be found within the ranks of some Presbyterian churches. Speaking of which, Pastor Doug Wilson has been debating with Westminster Professor Scott Clark for sometime now over at the … [Read more...] about By Faith Alone
