""The Christian body in America is immersed in a crisis of biblical illiteracy," researcher George Barna has said. Sadly, pastors are often at the forefront of this trend. Many pastors understand themselves to be counselors, leaders, and motivators, which are needed roles. Yet the fundamental reality of the pastorate is that it is a theological office. The church needs pastors who can contextualize the Word of God to help their congregat ..."
"Few doctrines are more beautiful than penal substitution. To behold it is to stare into the Godhead itself. Penal substitution shows us a God who is three in one. It shows us the simplicity of God. It shows us the self-sufficiency of God. Penal substitution shows us the love of God and the nature of that love. It shows us the righteousness and justice of God. It shows us the holiness of God. Penal substitution is good news for those who ..."

In his honor, Grudem’s friends and colleagues, including John Piper, Thomas R. Schreiner, Sa ..."
"God made sexuality. It is a gift and stewardship from God. But there is much more to human identity than sexuality. We were made for eternity, where the church will be married to Christ. Let us look at the words of God about homosexuality and run straight into the arms of Christ, the Savior who welcomes repentant sinners of every kind to a kingdom not built with man’s strength, but with the very power and grace of God. "
"Lust is a problem. A big problem. Our sexualised culture, promising freedom and pleasure, is creating a terrible cocktail of abuse, pain, despair, and suffering. The problem is not simply our actions, but our sinful desires. But there is hope. Christ is more powerful than any lustful desire, any temptation. He has defeated death and sin, and his way leads to true freedom."
"People all around us are seeking wholeness and happiness and acceptance. These are good things to seek. But if we seek them in the wrong places, we will surely reap calamity. This is just what’s happening today regarding the LGBTQ movement. People are being told that if they follow their heart, their deepest instincts and desires, they’ll be whole and happy and affirmed. But this is not true. Gavin Peacock and Owen Strachan delve into w ..."
