More than a Potter

This is a response to the objection, "If God determines
all that we do so that we are not free from him in any sense,
then we are nothing more than robots and puppets."
It also answers a related attack against Romans 9:21.
Arguing by Intuition
Download
PDF
Many non-Christians and Arminians base the premises of their
arguments on intuition, and even many Calvinists needlessly
do the same. This article explains why this is fallacious,
and urges Christians to cling to revelation alone in presenting
and defending the Biblical/Reformed faith. (This article
is now included in The Author of Sin.)

Systematic Theology
Download
PDF
This book is an introduction to Christian theology. It emphasizes
the interrelatedness of biblical doctrines, and arranges
them in a logical progression – from the epistemological
precondition of a worldview to the preservation of the believer.
The three central motifs of this book are the infallibility
of Scripture, the sovereignty of God, and the centrality
of the mind.
Ultimate Questions
Download
PDF
This book brings together three related essays dealing with
theology, philosophy, and apologetics. They present the
first principles of a biblical system of philosophy, and
illustrate how the biblical worldview alone answers all
the "ultimate questions," such as those related
to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and soteriology.
Presuppositional Confrontations
Download
PDF
Beginning with a discussion on the role of presuppositions
in our thinking, the first chapter shows that all arguments
are ultimately settled by appealing to the soundness of
our first principles. Then comes an exposition of Paul's
encounter with the Athenians in Acts 17, which shows how
the apostle confronted non-Christian religions and philosophies,
and how we may mirror his approach when doing apologetics
and evangelism today. The final chapter includes exhortations
to do biblical apologetics with greater aggressiveness.
Apologetics in Conversation
Download
PDF
This short book presents several important principles in
biblical apologetics that enhance one's performance and
effectiveness when defending the faith in informal settings.
These often neglected principles sound simple, but they
are the divine weapons that God has given to us to ensure
our victory in spiritual and intellectual confrontations
against unbelievers and blasphemers.
The Sermon on the Mount
Download
PDF
The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) contains some of the
most frequently quoted -- but just as frequently misused
-- verses in the Bible. This book provides a basic but careful
exposition on the Sermon. In the process, it introduces
the Bible's teaching on the kingdom of God, the Christian
counter-culture, the place and relevance of God's law, the
biblical commandments regarding murder, adultery, divorce,
oaths, retaliation, love, as well as Jesus' teaching on
biblical inerrancy, hypocritical piety, hypocritical judgment,
legalism, materialism, exclusivism, antinomianism, and other
topics. In addition, the book includes a number of insights
that are useful for apologetics.
Prayer and Revelation
Download
PDF
Rather than focusing on the technique of prayer, this book
discusses prayer from a broader perspective by engaging
its relationship with other theological topics. In addition,
it urges the reader to dethrone experience and enthrone
revelation as the foundation on which to construct our spiritual
life in general, and our prayer life in particular.
Commentary on Ephesians
Download
PDF
This is a basic exposition of the "Queen of the Epistles."
Chapter titles include: "Predestination," "Regeneration,"
"Reconciliation," and "Sanctification."
Commentary on Philippians
Download
PDF
Much of what is called "Christian" teaching today
emphasizes the way to emotional peace and physical comfort.
In contrast, Paul commends the Philippians for being partners
in the faith with him, and encourages them to remain united
by the faith, so that they may live for the faith. Paul
teaches his readers to seek first the kingdom of God, even
if it leads to great suffering and hardship. He says that
he can be content under all circumstances by the strength
that Christ gives. Instead of using the Christian life as
an excuse or a platform to pursue our own interests, this
letter from Paul teaches a Christianity that promotes and
pursues Christ's interests.

The Light of Our Minds
Download
PDF
The essays in this book share at least two common themes
-- namely, the biblical emphasis on the mind and the monopoly
of the Christian worldview over the intellectual realm.
Christianity preserves rationality, and provides the precondition
of intelligibility. Together, these chapters serve as a
reminder for the Christian to love God with all his mind
(Matthew 22:37), and at the same time illustrate an effective
strategy for Christian apologetics. Some readers will be
especially interested in the chapter on "the problem
of evil" -- an issue unbelievers often bring up as
an objection against Christianity.
Godliness with Contentment
Download
PDF
This book is a collection of four articles on topics related
to Christian living, such as discipleship, contentment,
guidance, and death. Although they address several different
subjects, all of them emphasize the necessity of studying
and obeying the divine precepts of God; that is, to conform
one's thinking and behavior to the words of Scripture.
Renewing the Mind
Download
PDF
There are five short essays in this collection. Arguing
that intellectual neutrality does not exist, the first chapter
uses Psalm 1 as its foundation to illustrate that all ideas
are either Christian or non-Christian. The second chapter
shows that a program of Christian development must first
target the mind. The rest of the book provides several examples
of the above as the implications of biblical teachings are
worked out in areas such as sin, the deity of Christ, the
choice of a spouse, war, and capital punishment.
Commentary on Malachi
Download
PDF
Besides providing a basic exegesis of Malachi, this book
applies the Old Testament text to Christian life and thought.
In the process, it addresses topics such as election, history,
marriage, tithing, ministry, reverence, and judgment.
Preach the Word
Download
PDF
Originally a continuous essay, this work is now divided
into chapters and formatted as a book. Structured around
2 Timothy 4:1-3, it discusses Christian preaching and education.
In the process, it criticizes secular theories on learning
methods, and calls for a comprehensive teaching and writing
ministry from preachers of the gospel.
On Good and Evil
Download
PDF
God wants us to recognize good as good, evil as evil, and
never confuse the two. As Christians, we must learn to discern
and uphold God's standards regarding good and evil. The
purpose of this book is to assist the reader in gaining
the ability to discern good and evil, and in addition to
this, to unashamedly love good and hate evil, as the Scripture
commands us to do.

PDF

topics such as healing in the atonement, divine authority,
methods of healing, ministry protocols, authority structure
in the healing ministry, and the biblical view of medicine.
The Parables of Jesus
Download
PDF
This book contains informal expositions on several biblical
parables to derive from them some principles for Christian
living. The first chapter focuses on several relevant preliminary
issues, such as the nature, purpose, and interpretation
of parables. It then discuss the parables themselves in
the subsequent chapters.
Samson and His Faith
Download
PDF
In many people's thinking, Samson is inseparably connected
to Delilah, and they seem to think that the entirety of
his life as recorded in Scripture has to do with his moral
weaknesses and sexual lusts. Thus they say that he is the
classic case of one who has "charisma without character."
However, that is an incomplete and inaccurate portrayal
of his life. The Scripture's own commentary on Samson is
that he was a man of faith, one of whom "the world
was not worthy" (Hebrews 11:38).
The Armor of God
Download
PDF
This series of sermons comes under the title, The Armor
of God, and consists of an exposition of the corresponding
passage in Ephesians 6. Contrary to what some people seem
to think, the armor that God has given us is not mystical
in its nature and power. Rather, each piece of armor refers
to the doctrinal content of an area of the Christian faith
and its reality in our lives. Accordingly, this series explores
these areas of biblical truths that make up our defensive
and offensive weapons.
