The Rookie has been uploading madly to Sermon Audio, and has now gotten the entirety of my current series on Hebrews posted. It’s amazing to realize I’ve been in the book for nearly two years now. It really doesn’t seem that long, and, of course, I only preach two sermons a month (or sometimes, like this month, four). But hopefully

Here is this morning’s Sunday School lesson in Matthew 19 (part of the multi-year study of the Synoptic gospels) from PRBC. I spent a good bit of time on how we can use such texts as an “entry” into conversation with our secular society, especially on the topic of marriage.

I was just informed that the staff at Sermon Audio chose one of my sermons for their “Staff Picks” page, which is very kind of them! Here is the sermon they chose:

I confess: I have no idea why Hebrews 6:19-20 is not just as well known amongst evangelicals as John 3:16. It is truly one of the most incredible texts in all of Scripture. I felt deeply my inadequacy to communicate these divine truths during the evening service at the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church, but here is the attempt. We have

It was my privilege to minister the Word of God yesterday, and we continued in our study of Hebrews. I, however, forgot to bring my video camera to the morning service, so, here is a still shot from the evening service along with the audio of the sermon. A truly challenging portion of Scripture.

DeRouchie Challenges Members of the Evangelical Theological Society to Keep the Biblical Languages in Their Curricula. “During the week before Thanksgiving, many of the BCS staff and some of our students attended the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in New Orleans, LA. Our Associate Professor of Old Testament, Jason DeRouchie, presented a paper that challenged members of the

   In the past, I have cited five good reasons to own a gospel synopsis. The fifth reason was, Read a synopsis in one year by reading one pericope every day! By coincidence, the synopsis has 367 pericopes (That is, all four gospels combined contain 367 units.) If you read one pericope a day next year, plus two

We are all going to die. I don’t mean that in an imminent way, though perhaps some of us will pass shortly, but instead in a general sense. It is the condition of humanity that all men die. You and I will both die one day. If you are not righteous in God’s eyes when you come before His holy

   A decade ago I preached on James 2, a text often cited by those promoting works-salvation systems. Of course, they always say we have “no response” to the text, but, they have also rarely ever taken the time to actually hear how we understand and honor this text. For those who wish a written discussion, please see the lengthy exegesis

“For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.” (1 Tim 4:10). In 1 Timothy 4, Paul is exhorting Timothy that sound doctrine and persistent godliness should be the thrust of our life because of the hope of the

My daughter is a biology major and will be a junior in college this fall. She just gave me the list of books she needs for class, and as usual, I was stunned. She gave me the titles and links for finding the cheapest prices for each book, prices that are for used books. Here are the basic textbooks: Read

   Sorry that the audio turned out low. Not sure why it varied this way, but still quite usable.

   Today at 3pm EDT Mr. Camping will be taking calls on Iron Sharpens Iron. We have offered Chris Arnzen our system and phone lines so that Mr. Camping can hear the callers (WNYG’s technical equipment leaves a good bit to be desired). I have decided to fire up the DL feed again as well, however, what I will do in
