Doctrine Divides but Ministry Unites: Rethinking the Ecumenical Mantra

by Eric Watkins
…s or is not triune; that salvation is or is not capable of being lost. Our commitment to certain truth-statements implies that we ought to confess those truths clearly and bind ourselves to those who are likeminded. The flower of ministry blossoms best in the field of confessional clarity and integrity. The history of the church, in many ways, is one of doctrinal clarification and its practical application. Every great creed or confession was writ…

However, O’Brien faces this ugly truth boldly and as a faithful Christian who recognizes that Christians are not perfect or always on the right side of history. Brandon O’Brien’s Demanding Liberty reintroduces us to a forgotten hero who deserves to be remembered and emulated. Isaac Backus found the cou…

A hallmark of Western debate since the Greeks, being able to counter other arguments and defend one’s own is part of the fun. Litan gives us a taste of this facet in Chapter 6 (“Objections and Challenges”), where he outlines the major criticisms of DCI, and then in turn shows how such objections can be answered. For exa…

For example, even considering Lee’s descriptive aims in these chapters, reading about Calvin’s take on Romans 9–11, rather than trying to understand Paul’s text itself, is irritating in its own right and also sadly reminiscent of the ways many evangelical Christians evade the Bible itself. When Lee attempts to argue for engaging with Scripture itself,…

In and of itself, the fact that Christ is Lord over all is justification enough to expand Christian college education to this area. This justification is not new; it has and will continue to exist.

…ters to make us ponder the invisible things of God… So, it is with great disappointment that I see the Protestant church in America wavering from these ideals. One of the reasons that Christians feel threatened by science is because it seems to diminish the realm of the supernatural, and we associate God very strongly with the supernatural. The more that science explains, the less that is left for the supernatural, and God—right? Details that were…

On the other hand, many “practical” commentaries focus almost exclusively on how the Bible speaks into the life of the individual Christian. Jeremiah, Lamentations demonstrates how Reformation era commentators held both of these desires without falling into th…

Or, maybe even worse, a parent will not address the coach directly, but instead will find other parents to vent their frustrations to. Worse than that is when parents go straight to the athletic director and bypass the coach altogether. Please allow me to ease your anxiety and mention that I co…

In our minds, we face even more fears. For example, we may face fear about the future, with its inevitable uncertainties. What is a Christian response to fear?

Second, this body, whose union with the Messiah will fill the world with God’s fullness, is itself a unity that spans the most fundamental divide in the human race after the difference of male and female: Jew and Gentile….
