Bob Godfrey is on Office Hours again, for part 2 of our discussion of Hebrews 4:14–5:10. What does it mean to have a high priest “once for all”? If Hebrews is so clear about the end of the temple priesthood on earth why does Rome . . . Continue reading →
To Split or Stay?
When Is It Right to Leave?
Almost from the moment I came into contact with the PCA, in 1984, people were talking about whether the PCA should split. So it’s not entirely surprising that informal talk of splitting the PCA should still exist. Nevertheless, it was a little . . . Continue reading →
