Haykin’s background as a professor of church history and biblical spirituality at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary gives his writing historical and theological depth, giving readers the confidence that these are not new and “in vogue” ideas. Instead, Christian spirituality is rooted in the Bible and in long standing Christian thought.
It’s a ministry, but a small one. I think of my vocational ministry as three concentric circles: my local church; the network of churches of which I’m a part; and then whatever small work I can do for the gospel nationally (speaking at the occasional conference, writing, etc). My writing is part of this third concentric circle.
Let’s try to enjoy a slow Christmas and grasp again the significance of what this festival celebrates as we consider the wonder of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling amongst us. (From 2016)
Sean Michael Lucas’s Presbyterianism is a brief and solid introduction that isn’t quite what it says on the tin. Lucas makes the case for the biblical faithfulness of Presbyterianism while also emphasising its benefits.
Remnant syndrome doesn’t feed on grace but on grievance. And over time, gospel centrality is quietly displaced, so that we’re no longer determined to know “Christ crucified”, but us marginalised. The devil delights in that kind of remnant—the kind that forgets it was saved by grace.

Until that day, restrain all who inflict violence; who threaten the unsuspecting, trusting and vulnerable; whose hatred, fear, delusion, or quest for power inspire all manner of horrific acts. Shield, deliver and provide for all victims and survivors in their need. And bless those who work for justice, help and healing.
We pray that our governments can find time and space to resource us as a community to deal with the deplorable antisemitic sentiment this action represents; and to help us build on the goodness and bravery shown by so many in the midst of such horrors.
What God is this? My personal experience has made me appreciate more deeply what Jesus put on to be ‘born in the likeness of man’ (Php 2:7).
