Undermining Tolerance of Egalitarianism
Lig and I were recently at a gathering of 40 or so pastors. We had a great time there. Wonderful fellowship. Much theological agreement. However, when the question of complementarianism–there are gender roles in home & church that are culturally expressed, but some gender roles are actually rooted in and mandated by Scripture–when this question [...]
Remembering for the Future
Memorial Day is not only a time for citizens of the United States to honor veterans. It is also a time that we as Christians can allow our society to turn our minds backwards so that we might be prepared for what lies ahead. One of the most encouraging parts of church history is when [...]
New Attitude
Mark and Al, I am looking forward to our time together tomorrow night. Lig, it won’t be the same without you, my friend, but I am glad you can join us by phone later in the evening. I’m sure our conversation will prove to be edifying and exhausting (from laughing and staying up late). The [...]

About the Gospel (1)
Mark, great post on C.J. as Bunyan. So true. His message at T4G continues to pastor me daily. Mark and I have been together at a Pastor’s meeting in Chicago this week, and I’ve enjoyed fellowship with Mark, as well as benefitted from Mark’s wisdom. It was also good to talk to you by phone [...]
Mahaney as Grateful
Mark, your encouragement in your most recent post (Mahaney as Bunyan) is very kind, very meaningful and very humbling, my friend. I want to communicate how deeply grateful to God I am for the education you have pursued and the difference this has made in my life. The theological training you have received and the [...]
