Major in the Bible

This week the blog is sponsored by Boyce College.

It is common these days to see Christian colleges and universities require fewer Bible and theology courses. But whether a student is called to ministry in the local church or the marketplace, they will encounter more challenges than ever from increasingly secular culture. To handle these challenges, they won’t need less theology — they’ll need more. That’s why every major at Boyce College includes a theological core featuring courses in biblical studies, church history, and systematic theology — all designed to ground you in the truth that endures.

My son is currently studying at Boyce College, and it has been a great experience for our whole family. The students are serious about growing in godly character and are driven to live out their faith even at a young age. If you’re interested in learning more about Boyce, they have a Preview Day coming up on October 11. Our family attended two years ago (and again last year) and loved the event. Visit and see for yourself.

    A Pastoral Prayer

    Every now and again I like to share an example of a pastoral prayer from Grace Fellowship Church. I do this because there are few examples of pastoral prayers online and I thought these may serve to inspire themes, passages, or ideas as other pastors and elders prepare to lead their churches in prayer. Please…

  • The Future of New Calvinism

    The Future of New Calvinism

    I was intrigued by Aaron Renn’s recent article The Maturation of New Calvinism. His thesis is that “New Calvinism has shifted from an ‘All-Star team’ model designed to exert influence over the broader evangelical world to a post-superstar model that primarily serves its own community. This represents the maturity of the movement, perhaps putting it…
