*By Dave Zuleger I’ve felt the weariness of life lately. I feel my weakness as a husband, a daddy, and a pastor. I feel my limitations as a finite man and especially of the sin that still clings far too closely. In seasons like this one I find myself tempted to passivity in my life.…
We are excited to announce two new regular contributors to Theology Along the Way. Both of these individuals are friends from whom we have learned much over the years. We believe what they write will serve to help you love God and love people as you thoughtfully head towards heaven. Dave Zuleger and Kristy Bruce My…
In what follows, I want to (a) offer some reflections on what I believe is the New Testament (NT) pattern of believer’s baptism and (b) ask questions in light of the NT pattern that emerges. Of course, there are theological arguments for believer’s baptism (see Thomas R. Schreiner, ed., Believer’s Baptism: Sign of the New…
It’s one of the great worldview questions of history. What is wrong with the world? Why are things the way they are? This is a massive question and everyone tries to explain suffering in some way. The Christian worldview takes its cue from God’s special revelation, the Bible. And Christians believe God has spoken to…
I’ve recently finished reading Jonathan Leeman’s defense of congregationalism. I believe it is the single best resource on the issue today. I highly recommend the work.

Dustin and I sat down and briefly reflected on our time at #sbc19. Though there always things to critique, we wanted to focus on a couple of positive takeaways.
In this post I’m building on Part 1. I want to focus on this: when the church gathers for corporate worship, and both men and women are given opportunities to speak, what are appropriate acts of speech for men and women? More specifically, if we say it is appropriate for a woman to prophesy when the…
*This article has two parts: see Part 2. A generation ago, debates among egalitarians and complementarians were significant. Eventually, the camps settled into their own (two organizations emerged that generally represent the two sides: Council of Biblical Manhood & Womanhood and Christians for Biblical Equality). Today, however, within the settled camp of complementarianism, there are…
*For the last two years, I’ve posted this article. I think it deserves another repost (with some edits). It seems the months preceding the SBC Annual meeting, almost on cue, the controversies within our convention ramp up in intensity. The sad part, the controversies go public via social media. Beth Moore once tweeted the following:…
Here are a few things worth a look. Dr. Denny Burk writes an important piece that addresses the complementarian debate surrounding women preaching to the gathered church. Alastair Roberts is coming to Minneapolis for the Theopolis Institute event held at Cities Church. Consider attending! Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary continues to impress. They have hired Dr.…
