I have spent more than thirty years of my life in charismatic churches, and these reflections try to summarize that experience. This particular series is not an attempt to justify the continuation of the gifts theologically as I have done that elsewhere and in my debate with Dan Phillips.

Mahaney, Mark Dever and Ligon Duncan). What I didn’t understand was the... Read more
Reformissionary: quotes and links to the New York Times about Tim Keller : “An important lesson that Dr. Keller said he had tried to convey to other pastors is that the hard sell rarely works in the city.
