Heresy abounds. It always has and always will, until such time as Jesus returns and exposes the misguided theological fabrications of men and women and vindicates the truth of his Word. In our day, there are many heretical and deviant notions circulating within the professing evangelical church. But I am persuaded that the most serious and severe departure from biblical faith in our day is the repudiation of the truth of penal substitutionary atonement (together with the...Read More

This is the sort of thing that happens more often than not as one gets older. That’s the only excuse I can come up with for having posted the incorrect endorsement for Jason DeRouchie’s new book, How to Understand and Apply the Old Testament: Twelve Steps from Exegesis to Theology (Presbyterian & Reformed, 2017).

We find ourselves today well into the events of Holy Week.

The single most explicit biblical text on the judgment that awaits every Christian is found in 2 Corinthians 5:9-10.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” Continue reading . . .  The single most explicit biblical text on the judgment that await...Read More
