Theologians in Hell
C. S. Lewis once wrote that there are theologians in the bottom of hell who are more interested in their own thoughts about God than in God himself. For that reason it is important that a dogmatician should also preach regularly. He will then create a counterweight to his intellectual preoccupations. – HENDRIKUS BERKHOF, Introduction […]

Lloyd Jones

Lloyd Jones has been a great blessing to me personally. His book Spiritual Depression helped me at a time when I really needed help in my spiritual life. […]

Too many words – like darts which hit everywhere except the bull’s eye. I know these are […]

SMO and John Piper
Two days ago, Yesterday (i.e., Aug. 26, 2006 Saturday) the Student Missionary Outreach (SMO)-Philippines celebrated its anniversary (can’t remember whether it was their 30th or 20th year). I was invited by the Bacolod chapter to be their speaker. I spoke to a large group of young people on the theme “Don’t Waste Your Life.” That […]

One Point!
Andrew Stanley has a great article on being a “One-Point Preacher”. I grew up preaching according to the standard 3-points formula of preaching. Later on I discovered Martyn Lloyd Jones and the Puritans and I began preaching more than 3 points per sermon with as many subpoints under each point! I distinctly remember preaching over […]
