Family Ministry: PROOF Pirates Book and Vacation Bible School Material

6th November 2015

Chore charts. Report cards. Standardized tests. Athletic banquets. Kids are inundated with messages about their performance. Because performance—work and reward—is one of the basic structures of our lives, kids often grow up thinking, “I am what I am because of what I do . . . or because of what I’ve failed to do.” How […]

PROOF: Martin Luther on Beards and Human Depravity

31st October 2014

There’s nothing we can do to change our sinful nature. From time to time, we may have calmed our consciences by pulling the plug on a sinful habit or two. Perhaps we flushed a few pills down the toilet, vowed not to gossip so much about our coworkers, or made a New Year’s resolution to […]

PROOF: Who Invented the TULIP? (Part 1)

4th August 2014

Chances are, if you’ve ever heard of the “five points of Calvinism,” you heard them first in the form of a flower—a tulip, to be exact. If your earliest awareness of these points was anything like mine, it began with the fallenness of humanity and ended with the security of the believer, with the most […]

PROOF: Cutting through the Confusion about What to Call “the New Calvinism” (Part 2)

25th June 2014

For part one of this series on naming the “New Calvinism,” click here. A Trinity of “Neo’s”: Neo-Calvinist, Neo-Puritan, Neo-Reformed The relatively recent introduction of “neo-Calvinist” to describe the latest resurgence of interest in Reformation theology has muddied the semantic waters even more—but not because “neo-Calvinist” or “new Calvinist” carries too many different meanings (not […]

PROOF: Cutting through the Confusion about What to Call “the New Calvinism” (Part 1)

24th June 2014

The mention of Calvinism may provoke revulsion or comfort—but it rarely produces apathy. “Calvinism,” journalist H.L. Mencken opined in 1937, “occupies a place in my cabinet of private horrors but little removed from that of cannibalism.” Mencken included these words in his obituary for J. Gresham Machen, a Presbyterian theologian who whispered on his deathbed, […]

PROOF: PROOF and Union with Christ

By Garrick Bailey The New Testament provides extensive witness to the oneness between Christ and Christians. According to Paul, this oneness, through the Holy Spirit, is the foundation for the unity of the church (Eph 4:1-6). Historically, this concept of oneness found predominantly in the writings of the apostles John and Paul has been called […]

16th June 2014

By Wyatt Graham R. K. McGregor wrote No Place for Sovereignty in 1996, launching a detailed critique of Freewill Theism. In place of Freewill Theism, Wright proposes a reformed model of God’s sovereignty over human freedom.

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: Does Overcoming Grace Mean We Don’t Have Free Will? #2DaysUntilPROOF

25th May 2014

There’s a roughness along the edges of the Reformed doctrines of grace—a difficult dilemma that may have crossed your mind at some point. People usually express the concern in statements that run something like this: “I just can’t believe that God would drag people into heaven against their will, kicking and screaming!” Such reactions reveal […]

PROOF: What’s the Point of Predestination? #3DaysUntilPROOF

24th May 2014

“It was pretty ornery preaching,” Huckleberry Finn mused when he found himself in church one particular Sunday morning, “and had such a powerful lot to say about faith and good works and free grace and preforeordestination, and I don’t know what all, that it did seem to me to be one of the roughest Sundays […]
