Pastors who are discovered to be in long term sin and who have lived deceitfully for many years will show their repentance by not returning to the pulpit but by living faithfully and humbly as church members and by submitting to the authority of their local church.

I am working on a major commentary on Revelation in the Baker series. When I am out speaking and now via email I am being asked more and more whether the vaccine is the mark of the beast. My answer: absolutely not! There is no exegetical or theological basis for such a view.

What scandalized the Romans is not that early believers worshiped Jesus, but that they refused to worship all other gods. The exclusiveness of Christianity is still an offense today.
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

There is a moral dimension to what reports we believe and what reports we spread. We aren't off the hook merely by saying, 'That's what someone told me.' Discernment!

A temptation for professors is to think about their reputation with other professors in their field, while forgetting that their greatest influence is upon their students, which reminds us why we are called to faithfulness. We are influencing the next generation.

One of my favorite Bonhoeffer quotes.
“A pastor should never complain about his congregation, certainly never to other people, but also not to God. A congregation has not been entrusted to him in order that he should become its accuser before God and men.”

A discussion and a debate is going on today among complementarians, and we should always welcome further clarification. A fundamental question we all need to ask ourselves is whether we love the complementarian vision in scripture or are we slightly embarrassed by it?

Before we criticize someone else's position, we must make sure we truly understand it. We must strive to be as fair as we can in describing a view we disagree with. Otherwise, “The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.” (Prov 18:17 CSB)

False teaching isn't merely an intellectual matter. Often people turn to false teaching to justify a way of life that contradicts the moral norms of Scripture. They contradict God's truth with their words but their theology is a defense of their lifestyle.

Why did Paul rebuke Peter publicly (Gal 2.11-14) instead of privately (Matt 18.15-17)? Because Peter's sin was public. Public sin with public consequences warrants public rebuke.

Too many (but not all!) OT commentaries don't help much with preaching and teaching. They focus on history, but they don't reflect on the text theologically, nor do they consider how the book (or text) should be understood in light of Christ's coming.

I heard someone sing the great hymn "Amazing Grace" with the words, "who saved a soul like me." The temerity and presumption to remove the word "wretch"! Especially when it is biblical--Romans 7.24. A wretched choice to remove the word "wretch."

We are not partisans of the left or partisans of right. We give ourselves to our Christ, to his church, to his gospel, and to truth, integrity, and righteousness, confessing our sins when we fall short of his standards.

The headship of the husband is described in Ephesians 5 in terms of sacrificial love and service to his wife. It is a responsibility, not a privilege. A call to nourish and cherish, not a an excuse for selfishness.

One of our responsibilities as pastors and teachers is to prepare our hearers to suffer for Christ's sake. We don't what is coming, but we aren't talking about academic matters separated from real life. Revelation reminds us that we live in Babylon, that the Dragon hates us.

There is a way of living that becomes dull to the reality of God, that is anesthetized by the attractions of this world. When people are lulled into such drowsiness, they lose sight of Christ’s future revelation of himself and concentrate only on fulfilling their earthly desires.

A quick and incomplete thread on annihilationism. I was asked recently how I could square conscious eternal punishment with God's love. But that's not the first question. The first question is what does Scripture teach since our view of love may subvert the biblical text.

In the years I have left, by God's grace I hope to proclaim God's power and strength to the coming generation.

I think the traditional theological answer is right. Since God is infinitely holy and majestic, sin is infinitely heinous and therefore warrants infinite punishment.

The amazing mercy of Christ is almost incomprehensible to most people today because they don't really believe in their sin and their guilt, and thus they don't think their sin deserves final judgment. When one thinks like this, Christ's death is superfluous.

We have become too provincial, too sectarian, too divisive, all in the name of truth. Often we end up in conflict with others because of our own egos, for we want to be the center of attention, we want to be noticed and praised.
