Preach the Proskomedia: The Eucharist, Atonement, and Protestant Orthodox Dialogue

As a Reformed Protestant who enjoys reading the Eastern Fathers and dialoguing with Orthodox friends, I was glad to hear about the publication of On the Tree of the Cross some years ago. The book is a compilation of articles that focus on the atonement of Jesus Christ. It aims at putting forward a positive […]

The strange and difficult time we find ourselves in is exacerbated by our inability to gather for worship. If you are a Christian, you should feel the absence of something significant.

The Model for Christian Manhood: Introduction

Jun 16, 2021

When I used to lead women’s ministry at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, I helped organize our yearly Women’s Retreats. The men, however, never had Men’s Retreats. They had Men’s Advances. Retreats, as they saw it, were for sissies. Nevermind that the larger church adopted the concept of retreat from Jesus’s example in the Gospels. […]
