JOLLYBLOGGER begins a debate on Infant Baptism following on from the gauntlet I laid down which itself forms part of the debate on the simple gospel with a surprising admission: “At the outset I will admit that our practice of infant baptism is a theologically derived doctrine that is justified as a deduction that is a ‘good and necessary consequence’ from Scripture. The Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 1, paragraph 6 says: The whole counsel of God concerning all things... Read more
In a classic mistake worthy of a blog newbie (yes I know I cant claim that I am a blog newbie any more!) I didnt check if the name The Decablog was already in use. Since it is, 10 Christian Blogs will drop the add-on description “a decablog”. I apologise for any inconvenience caused. Read more

And in his suffering and life he becomes our perfection (2 Corinthians 5:21). On the one hand, his death is the climax of his atoning sufferings, which propitiate the wrath of God against us (Romans 3:24-25); on the other hand, his death... Read more
Piper said it right “Thousands are living on borrowed faith. We are living off the dividends, as it were, of intellectual and doctrinal investments made by pastors and church leaders from centuries ago. But the central bank of the Bible was not meant to fund future generations merely on the investments of the past. They are precious, and I draw on them daily. Everyone does, even those who don’t know it. But without our own investments of energy in the... Read more
My daughter Tamasin is showing an interest in this blog, here is a story she has written that we thought it would be nice to include! Thank you, lord screamed Simon as he teared open the curtains to see that the whole entire garden was covered in white cold icy snow. Everyone gathered round to see the amazing sight.
