Some of you may have seen this important article over at The Gospel Coalition about the decline and relocation of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) by Collin Hansen, who is a graduate of the school. Reformed Theological Seminary has been friends with TEDS for many years. Over the years, a number of our faculty have done their studies there before coming to RTS, and a number of our graduates have gone on to do doctoral work there. We wish TEDS all the best in this new stage of their institutional life. The last twenty years have been tough for accredited graduate theological education…RTS and the Current State of Theological Education

I enjoyed lunch today with John Perritt. John works with RYM – Reformed Youth Ministries (more about that in a minute). He writes for The Gospel Coalition and Desiring God (among other places) and served as youth pastor at Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church in Ridgeland, Mississippi. He is a graduate of Reformed Theological Seminary (Jackson) and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (DMin). John has authored two books (so far), both from Christian Focus Publications: Your Days are Numbered and, the provocatively titled study of faith, What…
It was a delight to do a podcast on the Book of Numbers with Nancy Guthrie. I came to love this overlooked Bible book while preaching through it at First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, MS in 2007-2008. A few years later I preached on a passage in Numbers 5 at Together for the Gospel. The message was called, “The Gospel by Numbers.” Nancy and I have a conversation about teaching the Book of Numbers in two podcasts. You can listen to them here. Nancy is an excellent author and Bible teacher, and you can see her books listed over at the…
Dr Luder G. Whitlock, Jr is executive director of the CNL Charitable Foundation and the JMS Foundation; president of Excelsis; and minister at large for the First Presbyterian Church of Orlando. He was the second President of Reformed Theological Seminary (1978-2001). He hired me to teach at RTS back in 1989 (when I was 28 years old!). I still marvel at that. I know that many of you in the Reformed Theological Seminary family keep up with Luder and Mary Lou, and so you will be interested to know about his new book, due out next month from…
This morning (Easter Sunday, April 16, 2017), my pastor David Strain preached from 1 Timothy 3:14-16, a passage that has been a special interest to me for a number of years. It was an excellent message and brought out many things that I have missed…

Dr. David B. Calhoun, longtime (and now Emeritus) Professor of Church History at Covenant Theological Seminary, is one of the great gifts God has given to his church in my lifetime, and also, perhaps, a too well kept secret. His writings and lectures…
My friend and colleague Dr. Don Sweeting, former President of Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando and now President of Colorado Christian University, recently wrote an important and timely article called The Pastoral Debt Crisis. It is a topic…
