David and Saul: No good deed goes unpunished

Last updated on: December 31, 2017 at 9:47 am By Adrian Warnock

Now, where were we? Before the recent controversy intervened, I was ambling my way through 1 Samuel in a series looking at leadership lessons in the life of David and Saul. New readers may want to go back and look at some of those as we pick up where I left off in 1 Samuel 19 and 20. What is striking in these chapters is the extraordinary injustice of Saul’s reaction to David. He was once like David himself. A... Read more

John Piper’s Five Points: towards a deeper experience of God’s grace

Last updated on: January 15, 2018 at 2:23 pm By Adrian Warnock

Piper explains in this short video why he has written his latest short book on Calvinism. Whether you are a Calvinist or not, this little book will help you understand what this leading Reformed preacher believes, and why it has comforted him over the years. He is know dusty dry theologian, but a passionate pastor. “I do not begin as a Calvinist and defend a system. I begin as a Bible-believing Christian who wants to put the Bible above all... Read more

The Bible TV series: a brilliant retelling of the greatest story ever told

Last updated on: January 28, 2018 at 5:15 pm By Adrian Warnock

The human race excels at storytelling. It is how we transmit our values, it is how we make sense of who we are. Westerners sometimes like to pretend we are too sophisticated for stories. We say, “just give us the facts!” But our constant diet of movies, and TV entertainment demonstrates this is far from the truth. It is concerns me how we passively allow ourselves to be shaped by the stories unbelievers tell us. Meanwhile the greatest library of stories... Read more

The Bible TV series hits UK screens TONIGHT

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:27 pm By Adrian Warnock

At 9pm on Channel 5 the series that rocked America will hit our screens. This is not the time to nitpick at the inevitable artistic liberties that will have been taken. It is the time to celebrate the appearance on our screens of this series. I for one will be watching. There are also some useful resources for churches and Christians to take advantage of this. Once again lets surprise the media executives with just how much interest there still... Read more

Galatians to Revelation on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Last updated on: July 29, 2018 at 10:51 am By Adrian Warnock

I conclude my list of verses on the charismatic issue by sharing some verses from the rest of the New Testament. On Monday I will be blogging about something very different, God willing. If I have missed any important verses please do let me know. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8) Let me ask you only this:... Read more

What the Corinthian letters have to say about the charismatic gifts

Last updated on: January 28, 2018 at 4:36 pm By Adrian Warnock

Of course for many charismatics 1 and 2 Corinthians are among their favorite books of the Bible. If I may be allowed to make one comment as I introduce these verses, it would be instead to ask two questions. If these verses do not apply to us today, why are they in the Bible? And, on what basis can we determine which other verses also do not apply to us? I have already posted verses that speak to this matter... Read more

What do Acts and Romans say about the charismatic discussion?

Last updated on: January 28, 2018 at 4:36 pm By Adrian Warnock

In these few posts I am wanting to simply draw our attention to what the Scriptures say on the debate that has been raging recently. I am trying not to pass comment on these verses but allowing them to speak for themselves. It is worth pointing out one key difference in the way that charismatics approach Acts in particular, however. For us, this book is broadly speaking intended to be a normative model of what the Church can be like... Read more

The Charismatic gifts debate: verses from the Gospels

Last updated on: January 28, 2018 at 4:36 pm By Adrian Warnock

In the last post I shared some OT verses which speak to the charismatic debate. Today, I continue with some passages from the Gospels. Read these, and try to allow the Bible to shape your viewpoint, not your traditions, whichever side of the fence you have come down on so far. Please also share any key verses I may have missed in the comment section. “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” And... Read more

Why I am a charismatic: The OT Bible verses

Last updated on: September 26, 2026 at 5:49 pm By Adrian Warnock

With all the recent controversy, and having previously posted an article which explains there are different opinions on the charismatic vs cessationist spectrum, as well as my old series on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, I thought that I should simply share the most relevant Bible verses cited by people regarding this discussion. I encourage you whatever your viewpoint to approach the Bible open for God to speak to you through these verses, and perhaps even change your mind. Today... Read more

John Stott on non-authoritative NT prophecy

Last updated on: January 28, 2018 at 4:36 pm By Adrian Warnock

As far as I know John Stott was a cessationist through and through. This makes his attached statement about New Testament prophecy all the more credible and significant. It is worthy of our consideration because what is happening here is that a good biblical scholar is allowing the Bible to take him in the direction of something that could potentially undermine his position. We all do well to approach the Bible with a similar reverence. Of course there are degrees... Read more
