==Phillip Yarbrough=====
Robert Yarbrough is professor of New Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary. He is author of the forthcoming commentary on Romans in Crossway’s ESV Expository Commentary series (2021).
Calvin in his Romans commentary remarks how easily a question like this becomes a snare. Addressing a question similar to “Why do you love Romans?” namely, “What is the value of this epistle?” he expressed uncertainty—an uncertainty “due only to my fear that since my commendation of it falls far short of its grandeur my remarks may only obscure the epistle.”
But Calvin went on immediately to state why Romans deserves to be loved, and why I am partial to it myself: “among many other notable virtues the epistle has one in particular which is never sufficiently appreciated. It is this—if we have gained a true understanding of this epistle, we have an open door to all the most profound treasures of Scripture.”
In a word, I love Romans because more than any other single document of the Protestant canon, it is Romans that serves as unerring guide to the gospel meaning of the other parts as well as the whole. In concert with the rest of Scripture, it expounds eloquently how grace teaches the convicted human heart to fear, and how grace relieves those same fears, uniting the ungodly with Christ via imputation to them of Christ’s righteousness as the heard word ignites in them saving faith (Rom. 10:17). --Bob Yarbrough

The Uneasy Conscience of Christian Nationalism After the fall of the Soviet Union, Philip Yancey, a longtime columnist here at CT, along with other Christians, met with the disillusioned Communists of the regime, including the propogandists at the Kremlin newspaper Pravda. The Bolshevik experiment, of course, had subordinated personal ethics, much less personal faith, to the collective cause—to the supposed “worker’s paradise” of the future, which would justify every lie told, every dissident exiled, every life extinguished along the way. What Yancey found most poignant was not just that Soviet communism had failed, but the particular way it failed. As he mused: Humans dream of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good, wrote T. S. Eliot, who saw many of his friends embrace the dream of Marxism. “But the man that is will shadow the man that pretends to be.” What we were hearing from Soviet leaders, and the KGB, and now Pravda, was that the Soviet Union ended up with the worst of both: a society far from perfect, and a people who had forgotten how to be good. We should not pretend that we could not see the same thing with a lifeless, politicized dystopian Christian nationalism as we saw with a hollowed-out Soviet empire. What a tragic end it would be to wind up with a society as debauched as ever and a people who have forgotten how to be saved. . (Christianity Today Oct-Nov/24) READ MORE>>>>> |
April 5, 2023: The Webb City Sentinel reported: In “The Jesus I Never Knew,” award-winning author Philip Yancey examines the story of Jesus’ resurrection. He says those who reject the resurrection usually see Jesus’ disciples, “either as gullible rubes with a weakness for ghost stories, or as shrewd conspirators who conceived a resurrection plot as a way to jump start a new religion.”

Sight-Seeing: The elegant music of grace in a tone-deaf world
Added to that is the fact that it’s often Christians who haven’t understood the message of grace that the Gospel proclaims. I’ve recently been listening to the audio version of the revised edition of Philip Yancey’s bestselling book, What’s So Amazing About Grace?. In it, Yancey tells the story of an article he wrote when he was writing for the esteemed evangelical magazine, Christianity Today. The article’s title was “The Atrocious Mathematics Of The Gospel”. The criticism Yancey received for his article was vicious. Readers didn’t appreciate the grace he was writing about and the fact that they thought he was calling the Gospel atrocious. The point Yancey was making in his article was that, in Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), grace was shown to be something that just isn’t fair. Yancey’s point didn’t go down well in a church culture that often seems more steeped in the principles of capitalism than those of the Sermon on the Mount.

Philip Yancey
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth “Today, if I had to answer the question: “Where is God when it hurts?” in a single sentence, I would make that sentence another question: “Where is the church when it hurts?” We form the front line of God’s response to the suffering world.” --Philip Yancey.
Jan 14, 2022: Church Times: Philip Yancey: how I survived my brutal Christian childhood
His memoir Where the Light Fell took him three years to write, and a draft in 2015 was more than twice as long as the book that was finally published at the end of last year. It reads like the best of fiction, Angela’s Ashes, say, or Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. It is searing and sensory, brutally honest, and frequently humorous: the story of an impoverished childhood and youth in a fundamentalist church, dominated by fear of hellfire and a wildly unpredictable mother

Disgraced Pastors Start New Podcast with Tagline, ‘You Can’t Cancel the Cancelled’
Tullian Tchividjian and Byron Yawn both engaged in sexual misconduct with parishioners — something experts classify as clergy sexual abuse. Now they plan to talk publicly about it on a new podcast called “MisFit Preachers” whose irreverent trailer advises you to “clutch your pearls” because “you can’t cancel the cancelled.” “In the history of bad ideas, this might just be the baddest,” the trailer states. Kate Roberts, co-director of Restored Voices Collective, an advocacy group for survivors, agrees. And she notes the mocking tone is especially concerning, given that men who engage in adult clergy sexual abuse don’t just abuse women. They silence, inappropriately blame, and traumatize them, she said.

In its letter, Wildcats for Inclusion wrote, “By our count, Christopher Yuan alone compared homosexuality to two mental illnesses, a horrific disease, and a majority of the so-called ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ from Proverbs. Even as he rightly and admirably condemned the bullying of queer people, he perpetuated the conditions that allow bullying to occur.” Well, obviously they’re not looking for LGBTQ students. If you are LGBTQ, find a school that welcomes you. (David Taffet/Dallas Voice 12/15/23)

A Prodigal Son Finally Comes Home
Several years ago I shared on my blog about Christopher Yuan’s story of God’s grace, and his deliverance from homosexual sin. I got to meet him, and his parents Leon and Angelia Yuan, when we were both speaking in 2017 at an apologetics conference, and greatly enjoyed having breakfast with Christopher and hearing his testimony. Here’s a brief synopsis of his story: Christopher once lived as an openly gay young man. But after being sentenced for drug dealing and finding he had HIV, he had a powerful conversion experience through reading the Bible in prison. He was not transformed into someone with heterosexual desires, but after growing as a Christian and searching God’s Word, he concluded that he could not follow Christ while submitting his thoughts and actions to same-sex desires. A serious and careful student of God’s Word, Christopher has been a professor at Moody Bible Institute.(Randy Alcorn/Eternal Perpsectives 4/27/23)

10 Serious Problems with Jesus Calling
Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling is a phenomenon that shows no signs of slowing down. According to publisher Thomas Nelson, it “continues to grow in units sold each year since it was released [and] has surpassed 15 million copies sold.” Nelson is involved in an expansive new marketing campaign that involves a new web site and daily radio devotionals. ECPA reports that “Thomas Nelson began its partnership with the Salem Media group to provide 60-second daily messages on Eric Metaxas’ show, which is carried on more than 100 stations nationwide and worldwide on SiriusXM Radio. The Jesus Calling radio devotional reaches more than 500,000 people each day through these segments.” With 15 million copies sold, it has marched its way into rare company. Yet it is a deeply troubling book. I am going to point out 10 serious problems with Jesus Calling in the hope that you will consider and heed these warnings. (True Discernment/ 11/19/15)

David A Hollinger
We now have a formidable body of scholarship that establishes the depth and extent of these features of the American evangelical tradition, confirming and expanding on Richard Hofstadter’s legendary analysis in his 1964 book, Anti-intellectualism in American Life. This new body of scholarship is the work of a remarkable generation of young historians who have yet to receive the credit they’re due, so I name some of them here: Darren Dochuk, Matthew Sutton, Anthea Butler, Timothy Gloege, Jesse Curtis, Lerone Martin, J. Russell Hawkins, Stephen Young, Daniel Hummel, Daniel Silliman, and—the only one in this cohort to gain wide media recognition--Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of the justly famous and marvelously titled, Jesus and John Wayne. Sadly, while the majority of these scholars have written for Religion Dispatches, the conclusions of these bold and creative scholars have been largely ignored in the discussion of religion and politics found in the pages of The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other media of comparable reach and influence.

==william young======
William Paul Young (born May 11, 1955), referred to as Wm. Paul Young or simply Paul Young, is a Canadian author. He wrote the novels The Shack, Cross Roads, Eve, and the religious book Lies We Believe About God. Young originally wrote primarily as a way to create unique gifts for his friends, until his wife repeatedly urged him to write something for their six children in order to put down in one place his perspectives on God and on the inner healing Young had experienced as an adult. The resulting manuscript, which later became The Shack, was intended only for his six kids and for a handful of close friends.
Apr 9, 2015: Christianity Today: Don't Believe Everything Twitter Says About That Lifeway Blacklist
Joel Osteen, William P. Young, and Joyce Meyer are three of the biggest names in Christian publishing. None of their titles are sold through Lifeway Christian Resources.
Joel Osteen, William P. Young, and Joyce Meyer are three of the biggest names in Christian publishing. None of their titles are sold through Lifeway Christian Resources.
The Shack by William Young People loved The Shack because it replaced the God of the Bible (which deep down they possibly didn’t feel comfortable with, because His ways are beyond our understanding and bad things happen, and it upsets our sunshine version of Christianity) and gave them a God who made them feel good, who took the God of the Bible and said, “That’s not really God, this is what God is like…” and gave them a diluted, false version of Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and a dose of Sophia, Greek goddess of wisdom.
I was sure that anyone with even a modicum of discernment would throw the book in the trash. I had underestimated how wide the door of deception had opened. I lost friends who were pastors who were furious at me for questioning the book. One pastor railed at me, “I haven’t had a relationship with God for years, but now I have my ‘Papa’ back! You can’t take that from me!” Nothing jarred me more than seeing grown men of God just abandoning clear truth because something tugged their heart, justifying the scriptural butchering by saying, “It’s just fiction, it’s not the Bible!” I confronted someone on this the other night. “What about the satanic Necronomicon. Can I read it? It’s just fiction. Can I read pornography? It’s just fiction.” They thought that a bit extreme. Of course it was. - Gregory Reid |
While we are on the subject of theology, it is note worthy that the God portrayed in Young’s novel “does not need to punish people for sin” (120). Thus the traditional view of the Deity as Judge is dispensed with because “sin is its own punishment.” It appears that history’s wisest man, Solomon, must have been in error then, when he recorded in Ecclesiastes that he had seen “righteous men perishing in their righteousness and wicked men living long in their wickedness” (Ecclesiastes 7:15). He had also observed “righteous men getting what the wicked deserve, and wicked men getting what the righteous deserve” (Ecclesiastes 8:14). Most would agree, I think, that Solomon’s observations are far more in keeping with how the world actually works than Young’s attempts to “airbrush” the concepts of sin an devil. -William P Young; Christian Scholars Revue

Steve Yount
The importance of distinguishing between truth and lies becomes clear in the first few pages of the Bible. When Eve told the serpent that God had said she and Adam would die--become mortal—if they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, the serpent responded: “You will not certainly die. . . . For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:4–5 NIV).
Ever since then, the devil has used lies in spiritual warfare. Jesus said there is “no truth” in the devil: “When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44 NIV). And that, John Mark Comer asserted in Live No Lies, leads us to a fundamental truth: “Jesus sees our primary war against the devil as a fight to believe truth over lies.”
But there are practical things we can do to avoid being duped.
