Just when you think the internet didn’t have anything else more awesome around!

Out now! Don Carson’s new book - ‘The Intolerance of Tolerance’.

“Ideally, how should both sides act so as to honor Christ and advance the gospel?

1. Listen to criticism in a non-defensive way.

2. Be prepared to ask the question, “What are we doing in our church, especially in our public meetings, that is not mandated by Scripture and that may, however unwittingly, be functioning as a barrier to getting the gospel out?”

3. Always focus most attention on the most important things, what Paul calls the matters of first importance—and that means the gospel, with all its rich intertwinings, its focus on Christ and his death and resurrection, its setting people right with God and its power to transform.

4. Work hard at developing and fostering good relations with those from the other generation.”

Biblical authority in an age of uncertainty.

Humility in interpretation of the text, not impossibility and uncertainty in any interpretation of the Bible at all.

John Piper: Agnosticism is an unlive-able view of life.

G K Chesterton: “Humility has settled on the wrong organ- the organ of knowledge instead of the organ of ambition.”
