Killing Sprees—Is There a Common Theological Thread?
They believed that by killing themselves they would not have to answer for their crimes.
But that fact goes to my point that one’s beliefs about ultimate truth really do guide one’s behavior. And there seems to be a common theological thread among killing spree killers. They’re not worried about God, judgment, or a place called hell. On Christmas Eve William Spengler set fire to his house. When firemen... Continue Reading

Should You ‘Choose’ to be Attracted to Your Potential Spouse?
Basing a relationship primarily on spiritual attraction creates unhelpful, hyper-spiritual pressure in relationships
If a young man came to me, and said he was thinking about a particular girl, I would ask him two questions: Is she godly? If yes, proceed to question number two. Do you think she is attractive? Recently Mike McKinley and Tim Challies both wrote articles which argued that young people, particularly men,... Continue Reading
My Top 10 Theology Stories of 2012
It's subjective, presumptuous, and guaranteed to infuriate almost all of you
In terms of sheer reader interest, nothing on The Gospel Coalition website in 2012 compared to the discussion surrounding Jefferson Bethke’s spoken word video: “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus.” The end of the year brings lists galore recounting the best books and top news stories. But I’ve never seen anyone else attempt... Continue Reading
Adam Was a Murderer
What is an appropriate way to define what Adam Lanza did?
Killer Adam Lanza has been described as mentally ill, a victim himself, a troubled person, and even a monster. The one thing I have not heard is that he was a murderer. He murdered his mother, he murdered twenty children, he murdered six adults, and then he murdered himself. Murder has disappeared from our vocabulary.... Continue Reading
Testimonies of Heaven
In the face of both national calamity and personal loss, many find consolation in their hope of heaven
It is striking that in our acquisitive, secular age, when many in the academy and media attack Christianity and try to remove or limit its public influence and as the number of people who claim no religious affiliation grows, that interest in the afterlife is increasing. It suggests that no level of affluence or material... Continue Reading
“Let My teaching fall like rain”
The more human and God-reflecting you become and, amazingly, there is more of you to give
Mathematicians (please do not let that word keep you from continuing to read) talk about relationships that are inversely proportionate to one another. A simple equation such as y=1/x is an example of an inverse relationship. As x gets larger, y gets smaller. For instance, if x = 10 then y is 1/10 or 0.1,... Continue Reading

Christmas Sermon: “Santa Christ?”
The coming of Jesus is a disturbing event of the deepest proportions.
The Scriptures systematically strip away the veneer that covers the real truth of the Christmas story. Jesus did not come to add to our comforts. He did not come to help those who were already helping themselves or to fill life with more pleasant experiences. He came on a deliverance mission, to save sinners, and... Continue Reading
