John Piper's Advice For Women in the Workforce

Posted on Monday, August 17, 2015 by Aimee Byrd on Housewife Theologian

I respectfully disagree with John Piper's principles for women.

I know that John Piper’s books and sermons have been a tremendous blessing to many in the faith. That is a wonderful truth that I do not want to minimize. But especially because of this, because many Christians look up to him and receive his teaching with much enthusiasm and appreciation, I am concerned about some of his teaching on manhood and womanhood. So many people value Dr.

The Cup of Judgment Full - Part One

By James Boice

THEME: God’s Command of Destruction

This week’s lessons show the importance of repentance in view of the certainty of a coming judgment, which in God’s mercy is being delayed.

SCRIPTURE: 
Joshua 6:24-27

I suppose it's not really possible to preach through the book of Joshua without dealing at some point with what some people have felt to be a great moral problem. The moral problem lies in the fact that at the direction of God, the Jewish people were commanded by Joshua to exterminate large blocks of the country God had given them to possess. People would call it genocide. It's a bad thing and people have asked with some perception how it can be possible that in a book that pretends to present to us the character of a good and loving God we could have stories which show God directing His people to do such a thing. This is one of a class of problems that we find in the Bible, and it is the task of apologetics, that is, the defense of the faith, to answer these.

Pain in Pastoral Ministry

Posted on Friday, August 14, 2015 by Todd Pruitt on 1517

A priviledged but painful calling...

  Last year Karl Vaters wrote a thougtful article on the pain pastors experience when people leave their church. Vaters writes specifically on behalf of pastors of small churches. I have pastored a small church. In a small church a pastor is more likely to know the members of his church. He's been with them in their joys and sorrows.

Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949) is widely known as the father of orthodox Reformed confessional biblical theology. Also known as redemptive historical theology, biblical theology is concerned with the progressive unfolding of God’s revelation over time in history. Vos himself wrote several seminal books, articles, and dictionary entrees dealing with different aspects of the history of special revelation. Vos wrote a general introduction to biblical theology, a study of the teaching of Hebrews, a volume on the nature of Paul’s understanding of eschatology, and a fine book on the nature of the kingdom of God and the church.

Time to Shout - Part 5

By James Boice

Theme: Spiritual Battles and Promised Victory

This week’s lessons teach us how Israel was going to achieve their victory over Jericho, and what things God wants from us as well. 

SCRIPTURE:
Joshua 6:23-27

Now I want to apply what I said in this way, first of all to Christians. First, while this was a literal, historical battle, now I’m going to talk about spiritual battles. But don't think that our spiritual battles are any less literal or historical. We face spiritual challenges that are just as real. We go up against a different form of walled cities, strongholds of that one who is God’s and our enemy, the devil. Sometimes these are in the world. There are great bastions of evil power in this world. Sometimes they’re in the church. Sometimes they are within our own hearts. God is in the business of tearing down those strongholds, and He uses us as His soldiers.

Time to Shout - Part 4

By James Boice

Theme: Total Obedience to the End

This week’s lessons teach us how Israel was going to achieve their victory over Jericho, and what things God wants from us as well. 

SCRIPTURE:
Joshua 6:1-27

There’s a third step in the preparation of the people for their victory, though it overlaps the one I’ve just given. First of all, be silent. Second of all, obey. But thirdly, obey in all things to the very end. I call this "total obedience to the very end." This third point is important because obedience that is not total and to the end is not true obedience. It's really disobedience. And we have to emphasize this because of our tendency to start out well at the beginning. We really do obey, and we want to follow God. But we don't do it to the end. And so, we miss the blessing. We have to stress that because God does not operate on our timetable. Now, we Americans have tight timetables, and we keep moving it up all the time. And if God doesn't operate on our timetable, well, God better watch out because He’s going to miss what we’re doing. That's the way we think. And yet, we have to learn that God moves when God will move. And we have to wait for Him. And to do that, we have to keep obeying until He moves.

The Reformed tradition has had an ongoing discussion about the relation of systematic and biblical theology. In some ways this reflects the discussion in the broader Christian community. The debate in Reformed circles goes back at least as far as the dispute between Gijsbertus Voetius and Johannes Cocceius in the Scholastic era. Some might suggest that we ought also to consider the differences between the methods of, say, John Calvin and Peter Martyr Virmigli.
