The Grace Evangelical Society vs. Mark Minnick

I have a post planned in which I will urge you to listen to preaching by my pastor, Mark Minnick. One of the major reasons you should listen to him, especially if you're training for the ministry, is that he is aware of the theological currents swirling about, and...

Frame’s Triadic View of Ethics

John Frame's Doctrine of the Christian Life is a very helpful book, perhaps a better introduction to his (so-far) trilogy than the one that came out first, the Doctrine of the Knowledge of God. Leastways, as Bilbo might say, I found it easier! Frame argues that...

Ubiquity Working on Me
