Sermon arguing the sufficiency of Scripture to define women’s roles in church and marriage, affirming male headship from the creation order (Genesis) and Paul’s teaching; opposing women’s ordination.

Biblical Sufficiency for Counseling

Critique of secular psychology’s fragmentation and failures, urging Christian counselors to rely on Scripture and Christ as the authoritative standard for change.

The Sufficiency of Scripture and Education

History of the Controversy

History of the creation doctrine in American Presbyterianism, showing how geology and Darwin challenged six-day readings and how Princeton theologians and others responded.

Theological Implications of the Doctrine of Creation

A Reformed defense of the biblical doctrine of creation: Genesis 1's literal days, the creator–creature distinction, and creation as revelation underpinning knowledge, science, and apologetics.

As an Act of Communication

Scholarly analysis of Genesis 1–2 focusing on genre, Hebrew discourse grammar, pericope boundaries, chiasmus, and how literal interpretation informs creation doctrine and exegesis.

Scientific Evidence for a Young Earth

Argues for young-earth creationism: the Genesis account is read literally; scientific evidence and geochronometers are presented to challenge old‑earth geology and evolution.

Confession and Creation

Argues Westminster divines endorsed six 24‑hour creation days. The speaker traces his shift to the classical view and criticizes modern evolutionary paradigms on historical and exegetical grounds.

The Glory of Creation

Reflection on Genesis 1:31: God's six-day creation was 'very good'—a progressive ordering of space, time, and life—marred by sin yet still retaining essential goodness.

Framework Interpretation

Argues the framework hypothesis: Genesis 1’s seven-day scheme is topical, not chronological. Upholds Genesis' historicity and insists interpretation rest on exegesis, not scientific authority.

Literal Day Interpretation

Defense of a literal 24-hour reading of Genesis 1 based on Hebrew grammar and narrative structure. Argues ruach elohim = Spirit, explains tohu vabohu, and rejects Babylonian parallels.

New Testament Doctrine of Creation, Part 1

Argues animal death entered creation only after Adam’s fall. Defends a vegetarian pre-fall world from Genesis and Romans, opposing views that animals died before sin.

New Testament Doctrine of Creation, Part 2

Argues animal death entered creation only after Adam’s fall. Defends a vegetarian pre-fall world from Genesis and Romans, opposing views that animals died before sin.

Day Age Interpretation

Reflection on Genesis and modern science—creation, evolution, the Big Bang, and Usherian chronology. Urges hermeneutical caution regarding the six days and genealogies.

Defends a sequential reading of Genesis 1–2 against framework/non-literal interpretations. Argues Hebrew grammar (Vav consecutive) and Moses’ narrative structure support chronological sequence.
