    Progressives Will Not Make Very Much Progress, and Other Worldview Notes

    I was teaching a Bible study on Judges 9 the other night and it occurred to me just how relevant this chapter is to many of our current issues. (We will eventually get audio up on our website.) First, anyone who wants a so-called “strong man” to rule should pay close attention to the beginning… Read more

    Odds and Ends, June 2024

    I wanted to give a little follow-up on my sermons on 1 Samuel 14 from the last couple of weeks: A few links I want to share: At some point, we will have conference video from the “Courageous Church, Hostile World” conference we held at TPC back in February.
