Jesus Creed

James Nicodem, pastor at Christ Community Church in St. Charles Illinois, gives the church a gift in his book about learning to pray: Prayer Coach: For All Who Want to Get Off the Bench and onto the Praying Field . A few words come to mind when I think of this book: it is practical,…

What do you think? Dear Scot, I wondered if you might do some blog posts addressing this (or maybe you have some past posts addressing this that I’ve missed and you could link me to). Growing up in a typical conservative evangelical home and church in the 80’s, I was exposed to pretty standard dispensational…

James, brother of Jesus, offers us wisdom. He opens his letter with a very typical greeting and then dives right in with these words: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that…

John Calvin of course was one of the principal leaders of the reformation in the 1500’s.  Calvin got many things right and, like everyone, many things wrong.  In the protestant church in general and in the more reformed branch of modern evangelicalism in particular we benefit from his insights and we have payed and are…

Let’s have some fun. If that fireball was not satellite debris, what was it? I’ve got a few ideas, but how about you?

I want to thanks some very kind folks who collated the Gospel series we did and here is the whole thing. The Gospel by Scot McKnight 1 We begin a new biblical study on the word “gospel” today.  We will start with some references in the Psalms and then tomorrow in Isaiah before we turn…

We begin our series on James today and I suspect it will take us some time. As with previous Bible studies, we’ll do these Monday – Thursday. Our focus will be on how the brother of Jesus, James, offered wisdom to his day and offers wisdom for our day, too. James, we will observe over…

I have been using the term “NeoReformed” now for a year or two and a few of my friends have asked me what I mean and why I don’t just calls such folks “Reformed”. This post will sketch who they are and why I call them “Neo” Reformed. I begin with a confession: I’m not…
