Why I won’t Use “Nature” in my Argument against Homosexuality

by Luke Geraty | Jul 15, 2013 | Homosexuality

One of the responses that people have towards the practice of homosexuality is that it’s unnatural. These people say things like, “Animals aren’t gay, so that proves that it’s not how God made people.” When I was growing up, this was...

Homosexuality in the Ancient World

by Luke Geraty | Mar 18, 2012 | Cultural Engagement, Homosexuality, Marriage, New Testament, Old Testament, Scripture, Sex

A common question that is posed when discussing how the New Testament addresses the issue of homosexuality is as follows: Are there differences between the homosexuality addressed in the New Testament (1st century) and the monogamous homosexuality that is being...

The hot button discussion in American Evangelicalism this week is the recently released “Nashville Statement”. This is an attempt by some Reformed Evangelicals to clarify their views on sexuality; the statement has raised a fair amount of agreement and a...

“Dwelling in the Land,” a review

by Luke Geraty | Apr 7, 2016 | Christian Living, Reviews, Theology

As one of my recent reviews reveals, there are many resources available for Christians interested in having a better understanding of what Scripture says regarding homosexuality, engaging homosexuals, and how the Church should respond to questions about issues related...

“Critical Conversations,” by Tom Gilson (a blog tour review)

by Luke Geraty | Apr 1, 2016 | Christian Living, Reviews

In a fast changing world that is still in a “sexual revolution,” many Christian parents have expressed to me a great deal of concern and frustration, especially in regards to how they should go about addressing the various subjects with their children....
Is Skepticism a Gift of the Spirit?

Is Skepticism a Gift of the Spirit?

by Brad Blocksom | Mar 15, 2016 | Church Life, Evangelicalism, Evangelism, Homosexuality, Leadership, Messy Church, Practical Theology, The Vineyard Movement

I recently shared a post from Pastor Mike Turrigiano about his friendship with Lonnie Frisbee – a controversial figure from the early days of the Vineyard movement (and Calvary Chapel for that matter). For those who don’t know the history, Lonnie was known...
A Response To Trevin Wax’s Recent “Schism” Article.

A Response To Trevin Wax’s Recent “Schism” Article.

by Able Baker | Feb 25, 2016 | Gender Issues

Trevin Wax is a smart guy. He writes convincingly, humbly and with an uncanny cogency. I deeply appreciate his consistent conservative theological witness for The Gospel Coalition (TGC). His articles always cause me to think about what I believe. My only purpose with...
The Most Difficult Issue in Hermeneutics!

by Brad Blocksom | Jul 28, 2015 | Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics, Scripture

It was one of those late into the night conversations. It was the final night before the conclusion of the Society of Vineyard Scholars Confernce back in April of this year. I stopped by my friend Kenny Burchard’s room at about 11:30pm. We talked into the wee...

by Luke Geraty | Mar 7, 2015 | Biblical, Christian Living, Church & Pastoral, Reviews, Theology

Last year I was at Society of Vineyard Scholars’ annual conference and had lunch with a really cool dude with a beard. He informed me that he had started attending the Central Vineyard in Columbus, OH and was a writer. As an aspiring author, I was immediately...

In this post, I want to review and interact with Ken Wilson’s work in ALTMC on the Apostle Paul. In addition to several posts covering Ken’s introductory work (here, here, and here), I’ve posted my thoughts on his use of the Old Testament. Now I want...

Agree to Disagree. “Disputable Matters” in Romans 14.

by Don Bromley | Jul 28, 2014 | Conflict Resolution, Cultural Engagement, Practical Theology, The Vineyard Movement

My favorite scene from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy: Ron: “Mmm. San Diego. Drink it in. It always goes down smooth. Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diago, which of course in German means a whale’s vagina.” Veronica:...

On the Road Between Ephesus and Thyatira: An Alternative Model to Ken Wilson’s in ALTMC, Part 3

by Thomas Lyons | Jul 7, 2014 | Biblical Studies, New Testament

Quotable Theology

Oh! Down, down, down with everything else! But up, up, up with the cross of Christ! Down with your baptism, and your masses, and your sacraments! Down with your priestcraft, and your rituals, and your liturgies! Down with your fine music, and your pomp, and your robes, and your garments, and all your ceremonials. But up, up, up with the doctrine of the naked cross, and the expiring Savior!

— Charles Spurgeon
