Instrumental Music: The Patristic Evidence and the Regulative Principle, Part 2
How, then, do we explain the absence of instruments in the early church? And it is highly likely that the early church did not use instruments. My own view is that the early church took its form of worship from … Continue reading
GraceConversation: Mac Deaver’s Second Post and Jay’s Summation
Mac has posted a second post “Salvation Submissiveness is Obedience.” Jay has responded with a post attempting to summarize the conservative position, “Where Things Stand.”

CENI: A Better Way — 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians is in many ways the opposite of Romans. Romans is high theology written to a church Paul had never visited, while 1 Corinthians deals with one practical, pastoral issue after another. Romans is neat and organized — and … Continue reading

CENI: A Better Way — Romans
Romans was written by Paul to a church he’d never visited, but Rome was, of course, the capitol and largest city in the Empire. Paul therefore wrote a lengthy, comprehensive epistle to that congregation, preserving for us a brilliant work … Continue reading
