Aaron, we thank you and look forward to further contributions from you... I haven't shared this story to anybody before, but have been inspired to do so now by the latest worship series here on BiblicalThought. I thought a personal touch ...
Francis Schaeffer on Raphael's School of Athens: "The Renaissance is normally dated at the fourteenth, fifteenth, and early sixteenth centuries, but to understand it we must look at events which led up to this, especially its philosophical antecedents during the Middle Ages. And that means considering in a bit more detail the thought of Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). Aquinas was a Dominican. He studied at the universities of Naples and ...
I just received an email informing me that John just went home to be with the Lord. John has been recovering from cancer and has told me in personal emails that chemotherapy has left him very weak, to the point that he sometimes cannot even talk. He had told me that he was back to a light teaching schedule. He died at his home in Unicoi, TN. John was a ...
Dear beloved BT readers, today while sitting at my desk I noticed an email from a group I'm in, and the subject of the latest discussion thread had to do with the argument that the office of elder or pastor, and all church government (of any kind) is unbiblical due to apostolic expiration.

I praise God with thanksgiving for providing me with excellent Bible teachers. Tonight I was listening to some audio from 2002 by my former pastor, Earl Blackburn. Earl was one of the sweetest, godliest men I've ever known, and while listening tonight it just hit me how much I miss him. When I learned that he had to leave California, I knew I'd probably never see him again. Our ...
A recent hot topic[s] here at BT has been the issue[s] surrounding Tim Keller and his supposed "gospel for the uncircumcised," an example of gospel "contextualization." Contextualization is the term that describes the process between the exegesis of Scripture and the delivery of its meaning to a receptor culture (i.e. another context). Grant R.
