Sex is about timing. The world says: any time, any place. God says: my time, my place.
scripture authority vary
In every generation there are voices that question the authority of Scripture. So in one sense this is merely part of the continuing stream. But there's a sense in which the questions that are raised against Scripture vary a wee bit from generation to generation.
heart idolatry
The heart of all idolatry in the Bible is the de-godding of God.
next generations assuming
To assume the gospel in one generation is to lose it in the next.
people tolerance chains
Unchecked, the new tolerance will sooner or later put many people in chains.
reverence
What the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.

Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.

Good praying is more easily caught than taught.
responsibility sovereign sovereignty
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
historical after-hours important
You get into theological education and you're busy marking papers and getting into administration in raising funds and doing all the things that are part of life, but here we were talking about important theological, historical, gospel related, biblically centered things hour after hour after hour.
suffering attention mystery
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery. Will there also be faith? Yes, if our attention is focused more on the cross, and on the God of the cross, than on the suffering itself.

christian book people
I suspect that relatively few people will sit down and read 1250 pages [ of The Enduring Authority of the Christian Scriptures.] all the way through from cover to cover. There may be some, but not everybody. But there are many, many, many different Christian, theological, pastoral, specialisms that are covered by one section or another of the book and this will become, therefore, a resource volume for many people.
