Having Grace With Yourself

In this letter, Rachel tackles a question that many of us may have wrestled with at some point in our life: How do I have grace with myself as I grow in wisdom? While this question may seem innocent enough, Rachel argues that it actually reveals a dangerous assumption. She points us back to the truth of God’s grace and forgiveness, reminding us that our role is simply to accept it and move forward in obedience. With practical examples and biblical insights, Rachel provides a thought-provoking and convicting reflection on the nature of grace and our proper response to it as Christians.

More To It Than Mere Words

I came across this blog post today and it made me sad. It made me sad for two reasons: first, I have a lot of books by Bob Kellemen (who’s blog it is) and he is condoning and published the article. And second, because the author seems to be so ignorant of the world in which he […]

Adams On Psychology

“In my opinion, advocating, allowing and practicing psychiatric and psychoanalytical dogmas within the church is every bit as pagan and heretical (and therefore perilous) as propagating the teachings of some of the most bizarre cults. The only vital difference is that the cults are less dangerous because their errors are more identifiable.”

Broken Clocks

Dear Dr. Lawyer, There’s no scripture where God says you can’t refer to secular reasoning. Proverbs is full of such. Jesus told a parable about how the people of this world are sometimes smarter than the people of the kingdom. Moses listened to Jethro, God confirming that Jethro’s apparently secular logic was correct. To say […]

The Antithesis In The Right Place

I recently read this blog post, Heath Lambert, which was a reaction to this post, by David Murray and I was inspired to write something about Biblical counseling as opposed to counseling psychology. The quote these two posts are responding to is this: I know of no single biblical counselor who rejects the observations of […]

25 Theses on Common Grace, Natural Revelation, and Pastoral Care

by Douglas Wilson You can read this in all its original glory here. One of the most common areas where syncretism—an attempt to marry two incompatible worldviews—is making massive inroads into Christian faith and practice is in the area of counseling and therapy. In the conviction that this is a very bad development, as well […]

How I Attend To Extra-Biblical Material

I majored in philosophy in college. I had learned that psychology was really just applied philosophy and so I decided to jump right to the source and study the thought behind the behavior. The original plan was to study psychology, then theology, and then go back to psychology at the doctoral level. But I shifted […]

Sufficiency of Scripture (From Others)

The doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture is a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith. To say the Scriptures are sufficient means that the Bible is all we need to equip us for a life of faith and service. It provides a clear demonstration of God’s intention to restore the broken relationship between Himself and […]
