Lord willing, my commentary on Psalms will appear sometime in the next year from @LexhamPress . Here's a short piece on preaching Psalms for the 9Marks Journal -

How (Not) to Preach the Psalms

Don’t preach the Psalms in isolation—from their immediate or broad context. May God bless his Word in your mouth, and may the sentiments in the Psalms be the heartbeat of God’s people.

This past Sunday @KenwoodBC we did an all church Sunday School on Theonomy. I argued against theonomy, then my fellow elder Gabe laid out a consistent Baptist theological position for engaging the public square:

Does this kind of equity get applied to elections? Does it get applied to scores of NBA games? What about the salaries of professional athletes? Or does this kind of equity only apply when and where the people in charge want to apply it?

Carl R. Trueman is exactly right: Christians Should Rejoice Over Dobbs @firstthingsmag

Christians Should Rejoice Over Dobbs | Carl R. Trueman

When it comes to abortion, especially after Dobbs, Christians face a choice of social respectability or religious fidelity. And the Christian commentariat already seems divided on which way to go.

It's bad theology because, in my opinion, to suggest that slavery is analogous to marriage--a creation ordinance for the good of all people in all places at all times--is to slander the character of God.

What if losing the job I love, with people I love, at a school I love, causes me to know more of the Christ I love? Is it worth it? Yes, it’s worth it! “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” (Phil. 3:8)

Notice that there is no slavery in Genesis 1–2. The statements about slavery in the Mosaic law are placing limits on an existing human evil. Fellow-Israelites are more "indentured servants" than slaves, to be released every 7 years.

Some social media shark will no doubt jump on this, but it's hard for me to imagine a brother or sister in Christ of African-American descent feeling loved by those who are pro-slavery and pro-confederate.

3/3) If there's a chance that Doug Wilson isn't a better man than John Calvin, and if all those who follow him might not be better men than John Calvin, do we have any reason to think Christendom 2.0 will do better than Christendom 1.0?

2) Q: What does the Bible teach things will be like right before the end? A: suffering, and it's neither "pessimistic" nor "loser theology" to believe the Bible. 3) Q: What does the Bible say Christians should be doing? A: Great commission through local churches not governments
