Part of the reason for my blog holiday has been, hopefully, to fit more time for prayer into my schedule which, even without blogging, remains tightly packed. As usual, I have not found that as easy as I would like—although I am praying more than I normally do. What is it about prayer that we find so difficult? I thought I would interrupt this blog break to bring you the following prolonged extract from Sam Storms’ forthcoming book on Colossians.... Read more
No. 14 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on June 28, 2007, and was the summary post of an interview with the father of the family of churches of which I am thrilled to be a part, and a man I respect like few others alive today. Terry Virgo is that rare true gift of God to the global Church, a man who will leave the worldwhile Church in a far better state than he found... Read more
No. 15 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on August 22, 2007, and announced a major gift from Sovereign Grace Ministries to the global Church. Their vast collection of audio messages are now available online for free. If you have not already taken time to explore this treasure trove, shame on you! In order to encourage you to check out this fantastic collection, the post is reprinted here in its entirety: Carolyn McCulley just alerted us... Read more
No. 16 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on July 20, 2005. In this post I simply asked my readers to identify their favorite preachers, and I listed my own personal favorites. I have retained all of the comments from this post and have now added them to the end. To see my list and some of my readers’ lists, click here. If you are interested in letting me know who are YOUR favorite well-known living... Read more
No. 17 on the list of the most-read posts on this blog appeared on April 12, 2006, and was my interview with Dr. Sam Storms. Sam is a well-known Calvinistic charismatic speaker. He writes popular books which express a very similar theology to that of John Piper in an accessible way. His latest book, Signs of the Spirit, is an interpretation of Jonathan Edwards’ Religious Affections, and another book, scheduled to be released by Crossway in February, is entitled “The... Read more
No. 18 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on August 27, 2007. At the Shepherd’s Conference earlier last year, John MacArthur underestimated the likely fury of non-dispensational Calvinists at being told they weren’t “really reformed.” This post was an extract from Kim Riddlebarger’s response, which was written several months later. Its popularity proves either that people are still interested in eschatology or that MacArthur bating should become the next Olympic sport. I am publishing the post... Read more
No. 19 on the list of the most widely read posts on this blog appeared on January 17, 2006, and was a lengthy chat I had with Justin Taylor. Few editors are as well-known as Justin. He has expertise in editing others’ writings, highlighting interesting posts around the blogosphere, and creating his own work. He is now an integral part of the Crossway Books team. He is also someone I am pleased to be able to call a friend. AdrianIt... Read more
No. 20 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on October 25, 2007, and introduced us to a remarkable new approach to a study Bible, brought to us by Crossway. As of January 2008, I’m still working my way through this Bible, reading it from cover-to-cover. I’m enjoying it very much. Crossway has made the preface of its new ESV Literary Study Bible available online. They have also made the text available for electronic purchase. I am... Read more
No. 21 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on January 30, 2006, and was my first meeting with Mark Dever. Mark is a great man of God, and was very much the initiator of the set of relationships now described as Together for the Gospel. I interviewed him for a second time in a post entitled “Theology for All—An Interview with Mark Dever,” and posted notes from a series of talks he gave in London in... Read more
No. 22 on the list of most widely-read posts on this blog appeared on November 8, 2006, and was the last segment of my seven-part interview with Dr. Albert Mohler. Dr. Mohler is a phenomenon who, by God’s grace, accomplishes more than ten ordinary men could possibly hope to do! It is a real pleasure to welcome to my blog again today, Dr. Albert Mohler. Dr. Mohler should need no introduction to most of my readers, but I include a... Read more
