The Faith of Christ, by C. Baxter Kruger
The following article was brought to my attention by Steve McVey on his blog site. It addresses well an issue in biblical interpretation which, when understood, takes all the responsibility for salvation (including that for faith) off of YOU and ME, and places it on the only one who could actually make it happen, namely [...]
Knowing God As Trinity
Know God as Trinity “means that God is not some remote, unknowable Deity, a prisoner in his aloofness or shut up in his solitariness, but on the contrary, the God who will not be without us whom he has created for fellowship with himself, the God who is free to go outside of himself, to [...]
Quick Quote: Thomas Torrance On Salvation
“To know this God, who both condescends to share all that we are and makes us share in all that He is in Jesus Christ, is to be lifted up in His Spirit to share in God’s own self-knowing and self-loving until we are enabled to apprehend Him in some real measure in Himself beyond [...]

Took this picture several years back, while our clan was attending the “Minister’s Family Retreat” sponsored by the Virginia Baptist Mission Board.

Intellectually Bankrupt
Read 1 John 5:1 – 12 It has always fascinated me that so many in the church spend a great deal of their time attempting to find scientific and historical proof to support the assertions of the Christian religion. For example, there are dozens of religious books in the marketplace that were written with claims [...]
Individualism
In the book Habits of the Heart, Robert Bellah characterizes Western society as marked by rampant individualism. This characterization touches at the very essence of North American culture. “Individualism is a calm and considered feeling which disposes each citizen to isolate himself from the mass of his fellows and withdraw into the circle of family [...]
Trinitarian Worship
One more quote from James Torrance: The Trinitarian view of worship is that it is the gift of participating through the Spirit in the incarnate Son’s communion with the Father. That means participating in union with Christ, in what he has done for us once and for all, in his self-offering to the Father, in [...]
