Family Ministry: The Difference Between God’s Adoption and Ours

24th August 2016

Thirteen years ago, my wife and I sat at a table in a cramped office that reeked of scorched coffee and mildewed carpet. By that point in our lives, we had journeyed for nearly two years on a long and difficult road toward adoption. While social workers shuffled around us, we pored over page after […]

PROOF: Planned Grace and the Sovereignty of God

16th June 2014

By Wyatt Graham R. K. McGregor wrote No Place for Sovereignty in 1996, launching a detailed critique of Freewill Theism.

PROOF: What Is Forever Grace? #24HoursUntilPROOF

26th May 2014

“Forever grace”? You mean, once you’re saved, you can never lose your salvation? And so, if someone says they’ve trusted Jesus and then spends their life in love with sin, they’re still Christians, right? Maybe you’ve heard that line of reasoning at some point in your life. So have we–but such thinking isn’t even close […]

PROOF: What Is Outrageous Grace? #4DaysUntilPROOF

23rd May 2014

An excerpt from the forthcoming book PROOF: Finding Freedom through the Intoxicating Joy of Irresistible Grace God’s choice to adopt certain sinners as his children solely on the basis of his own good pleasure is sometimes known as “unconditional election.” In the simplest possible terms, unconditional election is God’s eternal choice of some persons unto […]

PROOF: Good News (and Not-So-Good News) for Spiritual Zombies

5th May 2014

God’s plan has always been to multiply the fame of his own name by giving new life to the spiritually dead (Ephesians 1:4–2:5). The price that this plan required was nothing less than the slaughter of a perfect substitute—a gift too great for anyone but God to give, with a price too high for anyone […]

PROOF: God Doesn’t Need You—and That’s Good News

28th April 2014

  A little more than a decade ago, my wife and I sat at a table in a cramped office that reeked of scorched coffee and mildewed carpet. While social workers shuffled around us, we pored over page after page in a file that never seemed to end. “Cruelty to animals.” “Persistent patterns of theft […]

An excerpt from the forthcoming book PROOF: Finding Freedom through the Intoxicating Joy of Irresistible Grace: It’s perfectly possible for you or me to have a plan and pay the price but then lack the power to make it happen.

PROOF: An Anthem of Resurrecting Grace

26th March 2014

In PROOF: Finding Freedom through the Intoxicating Joy of Irresistible Grace, a book I co-authored with Sojourn Community Church pastor Daniel Montgomery, we explain the biblical truth of “resurrecting grace.” What we mean by this is simply that all of us exist as spiritual zombies—the walking dead—until God’s resurrecting grace invades and enlivens our hearts: “Spiritual […]

Theology: Grace as a Mirror for God’s Glory

1st November 2012

“The all-embracing slogan of the Reformed faith is this: the work of grace in the sinner is a mirror for the glory of God.” —Geerhardus Vos, “The Doctrine of the Covenant,” in Redemptive History and Biblical Interpretation (Phillipsburg: P&R, 1980) 248.
