Rob Bell Revisited: Nine Christians Reflect on Personal Suffering and Romans 8:28
As I wrote last week, Rob Bell just offered tragically-unbiblical counsel to a young man whose baby’s life is in danger. To this man, going through suffering, Bell warned against those who would cite the “easy answers” of Romans 8:28. According to the CNN story, Bell told the man “to avoid people who will try to [Read More...] → Read More

Jesus Does Not Ask Us for a Permission Slip: On Killing Sin
The evangelical doctrine of sanctification–growth in godliness–needs a serious shot in the arm. Specifically, we need Jesus back in the mix. Badly. Let me quickly explain. I do not deny that we sinners are needy and broken. We surely are. Our whole life, as Martin Luther said, is a life of repentance. It must needs [Read More...] → Read More
