Jesus Christ Superstar by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | March 2005

The biggest oxymoron in Hollywood may well be this one: Bad publicity. In the television age, what they say about you no longer matters, as long as they are talking about you. Face time is what it’s all about …Read More

The Law of Life by Albert Mohler

FROM TABLETALK | February 2005

“It need not further be denied,” argued James Orr, “that between this view of the world involved in Christianity, and what is sometimes called ‘the modern view of the world’ there exists a deep and radical antagonism.” James Orr observed …Read More

No Accounting by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | February 2005

There’s no accounting for taste. Or to put it another way, the taste has reasons that reason knows not of. We like what we like, and we don’t like having to explain it. Which is why postmodernism fits …Read More

Liberty vs. Law? by Burk Parsons

FROM TABLETALK | February 2005

I have often heard people define liberty as the ability to do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it. Although such a definition may sound good on the surface, it more accurately defines anarchy than it …Read More

FROM TABLETALK | January 2005

A Divine Comedy by Burk Parsons

FROM TABLETALK | January 2005

Sadly, I must admit the unfortunate truth that I am a former member of a boy band. In January of 1993 I was chosen to be one of the first members of the pop group “The Backstreet Boys.” As a …Read More

The Death of Pride by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | October 2004

I once had a girlfriend who was a classic liberal. Don’t misunderstand. She wasn’t a classical liberal, that is, one with a profound desire for liberty, one who was skeptical about the role of the state. No, strangely …Read More

Patience, Now by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | September 2004

The devil, if we are paying attention, presents us with something of a paradox. On the one hand, when he is introduced to us we are told, “Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field …Read More

The Moral of the Story by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | August 2004

Everybody loves Jesus. Marxists love Jesus, because He was such a radical revolutionary. Unitarians love Jesus, because He befriended the social outcasts. Liberals love Jesus because, well, because He was liberal. Even some conservatives love Jesus, because He was so …Read More

Patience in Christ by Robert Rothwell

FROM TABLETALK | July 2004

Despite the inefficiency and increasing indecency of our society, I have to admit that I enjoy living in the United States. In fact, there is no other country in the world in which I would like to live. I have …Read More

The Spirit of Rebellion by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | July 2004

Though I haven’t the infernal wisdom that C.S. Lewis demonstrated in his classic work The Screwtape Letters, I think I know something about at least some of the devil’s stratagems. The Screwtape Letters, you remember, purported to …Read More

Sophisticated Lady by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | June 2004

We’ve all heard the horror stories. First there was the church that offered visitors a free oil change during the “service” if you would come. Then we heard of simple cash rewards. More recently a church raffled off a …Read More

Mercy Established by Chris Donato

FROM TABLETALK | May 2004

From Hebrews 7:26–28 we see the importance given to the fact that Jesus identifies with those for whom He died by undergoing temptation. We are also made aware of the necessity that this High Priest be sinless, or …Read More

Don’t Look Back by R.C. Sproul Jr.

FROM TABLETALK | April 2004

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I’ll admit I got taken in the first time. As a grade school child my conception of cool included too tight silk shirts and blue jeans with …Read More

Civilization & Its Discontents by R.C. Sproul Jr.

Sometimes the lofty are rather low. Paul in writing to the Corinthians enjoins them, and therefore us, to “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God.” Though the giddy optimism of our Enlightenment fathers has dimmed …Read More
