Pastoral Malpractice

I would consider pastoral malpractice among the greatest treasons a minister can commit against the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, it is practiced weekly without inhibition. What do I mean by pastoral malpractice? I mean ministers who stand and preach a gospel other than God's rightful need for punitive justice against our sin and His wrath being appeased by pouring out upon Christ judgment intended for us. He in turn sets us in right legal standing before Himself, through faith in what Jesus has done, while simultaneously giving to us His holy righteousness.

Ancient-Future Worship

The final volume in the Ancient-Future series by the late Robert E. Webber, Ancient-Future Worship (Baker), has as its central theme the narrative nature of the Bible and the need to "allow God's truthful story to shape our worship." There are many valuable insights here regarding worship through Word, the Lord's table and prayer. This is an important contribution to our understanding of Christian worship.
