Salvation (840)
  1. Though not without his faults, Anselm of Canterbury is unquestionably one of the great theologians of the last millennium.
  2. You’re not making Christianity better; you’re making Stoicism worse. Gillespie and Riley continue their discussion of free will and predestination by reading Clement of Alexandria. Where does the doctrine of free will originate? What happens when a Christian blends biblical theology and philosophy? Why doesn’t Riley like Star Wars sermons?
  3. When Jesus preaches the gospel, he is preaching himself. Jesus’s good news is the good news about himself.
  4. I thought we had something, but then you do and pull this. Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Iranaeus on free will and predestination. What part do Christians play in their salvation? Do we choose to sin? Who goes to hell?
  5. Ultimately the Christian life isn't about progress, it's about promise--the Pilgrim's Promise.
  6. Faith is a gift from God. It’s not flashy or boast-worthy. It’s total dependency on the God who saves utter fools.
  7. John Pless offers thoughts on preaching for your midweek Lent sermons.
  8. God interrupts Peter, but not only to quiet him. He also directs Peter to listen to someone else.
  9. Just Think of This As a Friendly Test That Could Get You Thrown into Hell, Or Not... Your Choice. Why do we demand that the choice be ours as regards our salvation or damnation? How does the doctrine of free will result in us hating God and each other? What about the influence of free will and predestination on popular culture?
  10. Christianity has never been about getting people to clam up and look the part. It’s about Christ calling sinners to himself.
  11. This article begins an eight-part series inspired by the Lenten themes of catechesis, prayer, and repentance found in the Lord’s Prayer as Luther taught it in his Small Catechism.
  12. The Only Wrong Choice Is to Not Make a Choice... Where does the belief in free will originate? Is free will a biblical doctrine? How does Justin’s teaching on free will and salvation still influence the church and western culture today?
