Just Gospel Conference Shows Breakdown of Conservative Denominations



Wow. Friends, I have no doubt that this conference is going to show that prominent professors/theologians/pastors in the SBC, PCA, OPC, and ARP, among other denominations, have lost sight of the heart of the gospel. "Just Gospel" is going to be a coming out party of redefining the Gospel by claiming that much of the evangelical church in the United States hasn't really had the Gospel for, I don't know, probably at least 60 years.

Irwyn Ince, last year's PCA GA Moderator, along with SBC President J.D. Greear, are at this shindig. Leon Brown, now of the ARP but also still with Covenant College I believe, as well as the Edmondson's of the OPC, are also involved.


Of course, I agree the church has lost the heart of the Gospel, but what's going to be proclaimed here, if it is remotely in keeping with what these men and women have been saying, isn't going to be remotely close to "just" the Gospel.

Conservative churches will have to speak out against this. We need to pray for faithfulness in our churches, and we need to be faithful and bold at this time. That is the loving thing to do, first toward our Lord and Savior, and then also toward those who oppose the truth of the cross, that they may see their grievous error and repent, and also to simply protect the flock from false and/or dangerous teachers.

Why Pastors Shouldn't Preach In Jeans (Especially Skinny Jeans)

By: Thomas F. Booher I can't think of a better way to get labeled a legalist than to title a post like this. Hopefully by the end you will not see this as legalism and will see this as what it is- my attempt at describing what I believe is proper ecclesiology as defined by God in Scripture. So then, what is church? What does Scripture say we should be doing and not doing on Sunday mornings? That's what I want to explore. The Bible says to gather together in Christ's name; to teach, encourage, and admonish one another; to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Heb. 10:24-25; Mat. 18:20; Col. 3:16). There are to be deacons (Acts 6:1-6) and elders (Ti. 1:5) in the church who act as overseers, and in the case of elders, are the shepherds of the flock who teach the word and rebuke with authority (Ti. 1:9).  God must call one to be a pastor/elder (Eph. 4:11). As such those who are called by God to preach the word are held to a

Luke Chapters 1-8 Sermon Outlines

  Luke 1:1-4 – Luke’s Orderly Account of Jesus Christ -- Sermon Outline Intro: Christians need an inspired account of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.     Need: Luke gives such an account in his gospel, so that we may know Jesus and have faith in Him. Theme: Luke compiles an account of the ministry of Jesus:   I.      Accurately declaring what the apostles and other eyewitnesses had told him. A.      1:1 , Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order [put together/compose] a narrative [declaration/accounting/narration] of those things which have been fulfilled among us              1.       It is clear that what Christ had done did not go unnoticed, as “ many ” have undertaken the great task of composing in written form a historical “ narrative” concerning Christ’s earthly ministry.              2.       “ have been fulfilled ” means accomplished, and the perfect tense indicates the fulfilling of these OT prophecies concerning Christ, who He is and what

Some Problems in the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America)

By: Thomas F. Booher NOTE: I posted what's below to Facebook on this day, December 6, 2016. I wanted to post this here for record keeping and so that it can have a more visible and permanent viewership for those concerned or wishing to be more informed about the PCA.  I would like to explain my love for and grave concerns within the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America), the denomination in which I am currently a member and have served as a ruling elder. The state of the PCA is, in my estimation, not a consistently conservative, orthodox, and confessional one. I believe it is in the midst of much compromise, and I do not think that the average lay person is aware of it. It grieves me to say these things. I wish they were not true. I grew up in the PCA, and until several years ago I was still under the delusion that all was well in this denomination, that it was, by and large, holding fast to the Word of God. I still believe that there are many
