Titus 2:3-5 as a Portratit of Biblical Womanhood
In the Epistle of Paul to Titus, the apostle Paul writes to his disciple and young pastor Titus, giving him directions that deal directly with a pastor’s work in a local congregation. Having first explained the qualifications of elders in chapter 1 and contrasted the differences between good religious leaders (1:5–9) and bad religious [...]
Hermeneutical Deconstruction: Always Deferring, Never Arriving
Deconstruction is hard to pin down in terms of its understanding of where to find meaning, to some degree because it is not looking for a meaning, but is usually trying to overthrow meanings to create new ones. Consequently, this approach can only loosely be called reader-response.1 The focus of deconstruction, like that [...]
Emerging Missional Fallacies in Postmodern Exegesis
In this opening half of the year, I will share with you how I came into contact with Emerging theology and the things that have led me to confront evangelical accommodation in today’s postmodern culture. Although I was very eager to write to you about the beliefs of Emerging churches, I found it necessary to write appealing to Emerging pastors to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
When Our Knowledge of God’s Truth is Diminished
“The loss of truth is being offset by increasingly adventurous experiments in worship and by various attempts at recovering a lost sense of mystery. My view is that this kind of offsetting is an illusion. There is no offset for the loss of truth. There can only be a cover-up of what [...]
The Chief Occupational Hazard of the Preacher
“Pride is without doubt the chief occupational hazard of the preacher. It I has ruined many, and deprived their ministry of power…. In some it is blatantly obvious. They are exhibitionists by temperament and use the pulpit as a stage on which they show off…. Other preachers are not like Nebuchadnezzars, however, for their pride [...]
Never Lose Heart in the Power of the Gospel
“Never lose heart in the power of the gospel. Do not believe that there exists any man, much less any race of men, for whom the gospel is not fitted.”
–C.H. Spurgeon
My Soul Hangs for Time and Eternity
“On Christ, and what he has done, my soul hangs for time and eternity. And if your soul also hangs there, it will be saved as surely as mine shall be. And if you are lost trusting in Christ, I will be lost with you and will go to hell with you. I must do [...]
Living Near Your Local Church: A Matter of Values
Today is a good day to wish you lived near your local church, especially if you’re a Christian whose lives more than 20 minutes away from their local church in Toronto. The reason being that those of us who live along the Great Lakes are in the middle of a major snow storm: ever [...]
Are you a Non-Christian?
In an article by Robert M. Bowman Jr. on Mormonism, he begins the article with an insightful overview of Christianity through the lens of a 5-ring delineation of churches that are included in the religion of Christianity. What is noteworthy is who is included in the 5th ring, which is generally regarded as technically [...]
Speaking, Pink, Elephant (Conclusion)
Concluding Remarks
I never planned to write this blog series. I feel like 2 Timothy 3:12 is happening to me and as such, I cannot be silent: “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving [...]
