Does regeneration precede faith?

By Timothy Gatewood | July 31, 2019 | 0

Does regeneration precede faith? What does it mean to be a slave to sin? How does Jesus’ encounter with Nicodemus help us understand regeneration as a monergistic act of God? What does the birth metaphor teach us about the Spirit’s power to create new life? How then are we to understand the role of faith?…

Why Pastors Should Engage Basil of Caesarea

By Timothy Gatewood | July 30, 2019 | 0

Division in the Church, widespread doctrinal confusion and ignorance, a sometimes hostile government, a sexually permissive culture, scores of Christians marginally committed to the Gospel, the suffering of the poor—these challenges that confront today’s pastors are the very ones that Basil of Caesarea (330-379) faced. How did he handle them? What can we learn from…

Theology and Corporate Worship

By Timothy Gatewood | July 29, 2019 | 0

What hath theology to do with worship?” Being tasked to answer such a question is, for me, a bit like offering a dog a mountain of bones. Not a bone. A mountain. Exciting—overwhelmingly so. Where to begin? Though a measly essay can scarcely explore the relationship between these foci exhaustively, I scratch the surface, first,…

Why Pastors Should Engage Thomas Aquinas

By Timothy Gatewood | July 26, 2019 | 0

Thomas’ early life was one of riches to rags. Born to nobility in southern Italy, he needed to escape to Paris and be trained as a Dominican, at the still new House of Studies there. Three years later, in 1248, he moved with his mentor Albert the Great to Cologne after the latter’s call to…

I AM and the Burning Bush

By Timothy Gatewood | July 24, 2019 | 0

You are familiar with the setting, of course. Having left Egypt forty years before, while tending the sheep of his father-in-law, Moses comes to Mount Horeb and sees “this strange sight” — a bush ablaze with fire though not consumed by that fire. A fire burning on its own, inside the bush. When Moses curiously…

Why I Left Marxism for the Resurrected Christ

By Timothy Gatewood | July 23, 2019 | 0

What drew Michael Haykin toward an intellectual neo-marxism? Why did the resurrection of Christ convince Haykin to leave neo-marxism and eastern religions for the Christian gospel? What persuaded Haykin to become a historian? Why has he devoted his life to studying the church fathers and Baptists like Andrew Fuller? In this new episode of the Credo…

A Love for God Leads to Joy in His Church: How Theology Affects Church Membership

By Timothy Gatewood | July 22, 2019 | 0

As Dante approaches the second sphere of heaven in the Paradiso, the poet is greeted by thousands of glorified saints, sparkling with joy so real and palpable that it manifests itself in visible light and beauty Dante can barely tolerate. With one accord, each of these saints proclaims as they wheel and dive around Dante,…

The Pastoral Benefit of Baxter and Burroughs

By Timothy Gatewood | July 19, 2019 | 0

We scarcely need to add to the existing praise for the two puritan pastors before us today — Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646) and Richard Baxter (1615-1691). We can allow a few old saints to speak for themselves: “I have made, next to the Bible, Baxter’s Reformed Pastor my rule as regards the object of my ministry”…

The Future: How Does God Know It?

By Timothy Gatewood | July 18, 2019 | 0

One aspect of God’s omniscience is his knowledge of the future. Open Theists have denied this, of course, but the question is not really a difficult one. Over and again in Scripture God is presented as knowing what will happen. Not just selectively but exhaustively God knows all that will be. Indeed, in Isaiah 46:8-10…
