I am very pleased to note that my good friend, brother in Christ, and colleague in the gospel ministry, Nick Batzig has a very insightful article over at Reformation21 entitled “God’s Obedient Son.” This is a fine redemptive historical treatment of Christ’s baptism and temptations in the wilderness with an admirable stress on the two Adams. Top notch stuff.
In the same issue of Reformation21 you can find a very perceptive and thought-provoking article by Carl Trueman on his experience at very “relevant” academic “worship” service, “Look, It’s Rubbish! ”
These and the other articles and reviews at Reformation21 are exceptional. I want to salute Derek Thomas and Ligon Duncan for their work with this online journal and the Alliance of Confessional Evangelicals. I also commend the other regular contributors. Sally forth!

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
