The Fall of a Leader: Lessons from Steve Lawson’s Departure

Yesterday, the elders at Trinity Bible Church in Dallas, Texas announced that their lead preacher, Steve Lawson, was involved in an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman. This revelation was serious enough to lead to Lawson’s departure from TBC and likely his broader ministry career. Ligonier Ministries, where he served as a teaching fellow, and The Master’s Seminary, where he held the position of Dean of D.Min. Studies, have removed him from their respective websites. This news has sent shockwaves through the Reformed evangelical community, particularly among those who have long appreciated the ministries of R.C. Sproul (Ligonier) and John MacArthur (Master’s). I’ve received numerous messages from friends expressing their astonishment, with one asking me if it was true. Sadly, it is. The reaction earlier this year when Alistair Begg affirmed his support for attending a same-sex wedding was similar. It raises a troubling question: how can someone who taught the Scriptures so effectively find themselves compromised on such fundamental moral issues? Full article: truthscript.com

The Primary Reason Why I Am Not Convinced by Roman Catholic Claims

This is a clip from the second part in my video series on Papal Infallibility. Here, in a discussion of Henry Edward Manning's arguments for papal infallibility, I set forth the primary reason why I am not convinced by arguments in support of Roman Catholicism.

How to Fake the Shroud of Turin | SASF Ep 161

Did you know that N.D. Wilson found a method that would have allowed a medieval to fake the Shroud using glass and paint, including photo negativity and all? This Stories Are Soul Food episode has the entire scoop -- including: Nate's impetus for the whole experiment (a professor discarded the Bible because the Shroud was "proof of the resurrection"); how the inspiration came to him (through a monstrous collection of G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown stories); and how his theory continues to be ignored by contemporary Roman Catholics (although the medieval Roman Catholics declared that the Shroud of Turin was fake because they'd found the craftsman who had faked it!). You'll also hear why, if you believe your Bible, you already should have known the Shroud was fake. But for the first time in the modern era, we've got a frontrunner for how the Shroud of Turin was made (and it wasn't made at the moment of Resurrection). #TheShroudofTurin #FatherBrownFakestheShroud #NateFakestheShroud #HowTo #ShroudTalk #ShroudFake
