Book Brief: Reckless Christianity by Holly Pivec & Douglas Geivett takes a deep dive into the absurd, destructive, and often heretical teaching of Bethel Church and its leader Bill Johnson. It overlaps the equally destructive New Apostolic Reformation. The authors went to great lengths to prove their concerns with extensive footnotes.
It’s Time to Forget “Faith”
Greg Koukl makes the case that the accepted meaning of “faith” has shifted so much that it’s time for Christians to begin using alternatives. And whether you agree with him or not, it’s worth reading his reasoning. “‘Gay’ will never, ever again mean cheerful, merry, or brightly colored as it once did. Now ‘gay’ means only one thing: homosexual. ‘Happy’ gay is gone for good. Something similar has happened to the word ‘faith.’”
When Her Suffering Shakes Your Faith
In this case, the suffering may not be your own, but that of someone near and dear. “As long as you live in a world impacted by sin and suffering, you’ll never be short of moments that challenge your understanding of God’s goodness and sovereignty. Each one will give you an opportunity to either allow your observations and emotions to begin redefining who You believe Him to be or to anchor You deeper into His unchanging character.”
A Field Guide on Gender and Sexuality
I recently reviewed Ligonier Ministries’ new book, A Field Guide on Gender and Sexuality. This timely resource offers biblical answers to questions people are asking about sex and identity. The aim is to help Christians stand firm in their convictions, navigate relationships with compassion, and proclaim the hope of the gospel. And now, Canadians can save on shipping when ordering this book and others through Reformed Book Services. (Sponsored)
What Is Accuracy in Bible Translation?
We all want a Bible translation that’s accurate, but how would you define accuracy? This article explains some of what can or should be bound up in the term.
Look for the Glimmers
Esther Liu writes about the little glimmers of God’s goodness that can make such a difference in our times of sorrow.
Should My Construction Company Help Build a Casino?
John Piper considers whether a Christian who owns a construction company should help build a casino. Behind that question are many others that may be relevant to a greater number of us. “I should start where I’m going to end — namely, by saying that this is the kind of question that has enough layers of ambiguity that I should not be dogmatic but admit that good Christians believing the same Bible may come to different conclusions. There are just so many aspects to take into consideration.”
Everything Short of Hell Is Mercy
“Everything short of hell is mercy. This one truth should change the way we view our hardships and frustrations, no matter how terrible they may be. If we, as sinners, are not facing the wrath of the infinitely Holy God at this moment, our life is better than we deserve. That is true for every Christian and non-Christian alive right now.”
Flashback: A Picture of Perfect Rest
…the rest God promises and the rest we enjoy comes amid the battle, not outside of it, during the race, not only after we have resigned. It is a rest that comes amid the turmoil, that flows when circumstances are dire, that rises up when hearts sink low.
Home…points to the fact that the Lord is our refuge. We find the shalom we seek in him. Your house is not your haven; Christ is.
—Gloria Furman
