A Puritan’s Take on Reading

May 17th, 2012 | By | Category: Uncategorized

A big part of my life revolves around my reading habits. I would probably not be wrong if I said that was true of most Christians, particularly those of a reformed persuasion. But in an age where we have books in abundance, a little guidance is always helpful. So, I was excited when I came [...]



Reclaiming the Worship of the Holy Spirit

Apr 3rd, 2012 | By | Category: Events, Featured Article, Lakeland Revival, Sermon, The Trinity, Uncategorized

As many of you will be aware, few men have had as much of an impact on me as Dr John MacArthur, pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church and the voice of popular broadcast ministry Grace to You. Recently, during the 2012 Shepherd’s Conference, Dr MacArthur delivered an address to the pastors present on the subject [...]

“If You Love Me: Keep My Commandments” (And He Didn’t Stutter When He Said That!!!)

Oct 22nd, 2011 | By | Category: Featured Article, Uncategorized

As a confessing Reformed Baptist, I fully affirm its teaching regarding the three use of the laws. The Reformer Reader explains what the three uses are: When the Reformed and Lutheran scholastics talked about God’s moral law (lex moralis), they taught that there are three basic uses of the law (usus legis).  They are: 1) [...]

Jakes, pastor of The Potter’s House and charismatic superstar, as a guest for the second round of his Elephant Room round-table discussions. The response has been [...]



Man Am I Glad to See This Beauty Back in Print!

Well, on Friday, I fulfilled something of a personal mission and bought a book. To understand why this was a personal mission, allow me to take you back to December 2008. Me and my mentor, Rev Nathaniel Ramshire, were talking about the Law and he made the following statement: Have you considered what a gracious [...]



The Gospel and the Curious Case of the Two Dougs

Jul 10th, 2011 | By | Category: Uncategorized

As many of my friends will testify, I have this weird fixation with self-deprecation. I really like picking on myself – it’s slightly creepy and annoys people to no end but as I see it, life’s not worth much if you can’t make fun of yourself a little. One thing I occasionally joke about is [...]



From the Bible Study Archives – “A Resurrection Kinda Life” (1)

Jun 23rd, 2011 | By | Category: Uncategorized

As some of you will know, I teach a Bible study on Skype and it’s been a real pleasure to do so. Usually I don’t type my notes (I prefer the old-school approach of hand-writing my notes – quotes, cross-references and all) Occasionally, I will type them after they’re done to share with folks who [...]
