Photo by Casey Horner on Unsplash If you received a measure of Christian education while growing up, you certainly would have learnt about the unique view of God held by Christians. You would have understood that this is a foundational doctrine which you can't deny and remain a Christian. But like many others (including me), you may not … Continue reading Why the Trinity Matters
The Christian world seems to be split into two broad camps. On the one hand are those who have cultivated the study of theology over centuries, exploring the profound disclosure of God and his relation to us which is given in the scriptures; and on the other are various groups and communities which desire, celebrate … Continue reading Christ, the Power and Wisdom of God
*Why bother about someone who lived about two centuries ago? As the preface to the ‘Theologians on the Christian Life’ series, of which the book under review is a part, points out, studying past theologians and believers gives us perspective: “We tend to lack the perspectives from the past, perspectives from a different time and … Continue reading A Christ-centred ministry: Book Review of ‘Spurgeon on the Christian Life’ by Michael Reeves
What is wisdom? In a quotation attributed to him, C.H. Spurgeon described wisdom as the right (or judicious) application of knowledge. Wisdom is that ability to apply knowledge in a purposeful manner. We are wise or act wisely when we make judgments or decisions that are based on knowledge and that reflect prudence and good … Continue reading The Wisdom of God

The present chapter is, I confess, advocacy, barefaced and unashamed. I am seeking to make good the claim that the Puritans can teach us lessons that we badly need to learn. Let me pursue my line of argument a little further. It must by now be apparent that the great Puritan pastor-theologians – Owen, Baxter, … Continue reading Why we need the Puritans, by J.I.Packer (Part 4 of 4)
The foregoing celebration of Puritan greatness may leave some readers skeptical. It is, however, as was hinted earlier, wholly in line with the major reassessment of Puritanism that has taken place in historical scholarship. Fifty years ago the academic study of Puritanism went over a watershed with the discovery that there was such a thing … Continue reading Why we need the Puritans, by J.I.Packer (Part 3 of 4)
