Albert Mohler Sermon Jam- “Living Dangerously”

From last year’s Southern Seminary convocation:

HT: Pursuing Holiness

Evangelicalism’s (Self-)Terminal Generation: Preaching to Those Who First Spring From the Womb

“Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that [...]

E.Y. Mullins on the Suicide of Civilization

E.Y. Mullins was a late 19th, early 20th century Southern Baptist theologian who just so happened to be a fellow Fightin’ Texas Aggie (class of 1879 to be exact). No only that, he happens to have a fantastic quote on moral responsibility in light of science and technology. The force behind his argument? Just because [...]

Unless I Am Convinced By Sound Reason: Has Our Pragmatic Defense Of Birth Control Undermined Our Understanding Of Biblical Ethics?

I enjoy being convinced of things, especially things that I had once held a strong opinion about (which is just about everything when it comes to me!). But like most people in this culture, I prefer to be convinced of facts rather than wisdom. Facts are typically clean, well formed, and easily digestible. Wisdom, on [...]

Once the Pill severs sex from procreation, “the entire horizon of the sexual act changes.”

From an article in Baptist Press quoting Dr. Albert Mohler:
“I cannot imagine any development in human history, after the Fall, that has had a greater impact on human beings than the pill,” Mohler said.

“Prior to it, every time a couple [...]

Stand Against the Darkness: Christ, Joseph, and Defending Life

Dr. Russell Moore preached this sermon in chapel on Thursday at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary:
“Joseph of Nazareth Is a Single-Issue Evangelical: The Father of Jesus, the Cries of the Helpless, and Change You Can Believe In” (Matt. 2:13-23)
If you’ve ever wrestled with what abortion has to do with the Gospel, this is a great [...]

The Nature of Marriage: What Marital Sex has to do with Procreation and Homosexuality

As John Donne so famously said, “No man is an island.” And the same goes for spouses. Marriage is not just two people living in a loving, covenantal relationship between each other — rather it truly is a “one-flesh” union of husband and wife. This “one-flesh” standard that the Bible lays down for marriage is [...]

Redemptive Theology and Family Planning: New Steps at Lawn Gospel

“Any book that purports to explain how to apply the scriptures today must feature prominently the redemptive historical character of the scriptures…” – Dr. Tom Schreiner

Folks, just so you know what’s going on behind the scenes here at LawnGospel, here’s the 411:
I never intended this blog (or any of my blogging for that matter) to [...]

Living Dangerously…at Walgreens: What can our Purchases at a Pharmacy Tell us About our Theology?

An atheist stands in line with his Buddhist wife. Behind them a teenage girl stands by herself, with her boyfriend impatiently waiting in the car. And standing at the end of the line, a Christian couple waits for their turn at the checkout counter.
What brought all these people to their local Walgreens tonight? You guessed [...]
