"What should the church look like today? What should be the focus of its message? How should I present that message? We live in as pivotal and defining an age as the Great Depression or the Sixties--a period whose definition, say some cultural observers, includes a warning of the church's influence. The result? A society measurably less religious but decidedly more spiritual. Less influenced by authority than by experience. More attuned ..."
"It is easy to assume that if we understand the gospel and preach it faithfully, our ministry will necessarily be shaped by it—but this is not true. Many churches claim to be gospel-centered but do not have a ministry that is shaped by, centered on, and empowered through the gospel. The implications of the gospel have not yet worked their way into the fabric of how that church does ministry. Gospel-centered ministry is more theologi ..."

Seeking an integration of theological method with the content of Christian theology, Horton emphasizes God's covenant as God's way of working for redemption in the world. Horton maintains a substantial dialogue with important philosophical figures and Christian theolo ..."

Rediscovering the Holy Spirit God’s Perfecting Presence in Creation, Redemption, and Everyday Life by MichaelHorton, Tom Parks Cd, Published 2017 by Zondervan On Brilliance Audio Audiobook, Mp3 Audio, Sacd, Unabridged ISBN-13: 978-1-5366-1663-7, ISBN: 1-5366-1663-X
"For the Spirit, being somewhat forgotten is an occupational hazard. The Holy Spirit is so actively involved in our lives that we can take his presence for granted. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Just as we take breathing for granted, we can take the Holy Spirit for granted simply because we constantly depend on him. Like the cane that soon feels like an extension of the blind man's own body, we too easily begin to think of th ..."

"Rather, without ever crossing his fingers behind his back, he is called simply to
remain faithful to his ordination vows: “the good ... I once heard an associate
minister at a prominent church say that his entire mission was “to protect Pastor
X's ministry.” While this may sound humble, it is arrogant for us to speak of the
church and the ministry as belonging to anyone other than Jesus Christ. Even in
Reformed circles to which I b ..."

"“God justifies the ungodly”: Paul’s statement in Romans 4:5 has brought comfort and provoked controversy throughout the history of the church. Historically, most Protestants have seen the Reformation as a rediscovery of this gospel truth—indeed, justification as “the article by which the church stands or falls.” In our day, however, neither the Reformers’ account of the doctrine nor their appraisal of its significance can be taken for g ..."

A plethora of programs for outreach, discipleship, and spiritual disciplines are available at any bookstore and on countless websites. Yet what we need most is a renewed understanding of and commitment to the Great Commission. We assume that we already know the nature ..."

In his two-volume work on the doctrine of justification, Michael Horton seeks not simply to repeat noble doctrinal formulas and traditional proof texts, but to encounter the remarkable biblical justification texts in conversation with the provocative proposals that, despite a wide ..."

"The public ratification-rites of circumcision and Passover, baptism and Eucharist,
are treasure chests of the great exchange, laden with a rich ... and Protestant
traditions.4 In my view, these fail either to persuade or to foster genuine
agreement and therefore reconciliation. Yet the much older tradition of trading
proof texts from Scripture and the ancient Christian writers has not quite proved
terribly fruitful."
