Your Sins Are Not Better Sins
Wickedness abounds in our current era. And as lawlessness continues unabated, especially when it sets its eyes on tearing down any and everything that bears the slightest resemblance to God’s commandments, it can be quite easy for the Christian to become righteously indignant toward sinners. Christians see the evil they promote and celebrate, feel the…

Repentance and Forgiveness in an Age of Digital Relationships
Two of the most important aspects of the Christian faith are repentance and forgiveness. They are the foundational elements of how one even becomes a Christian for it is through repentance (turning from sin) and faith (turning to Christ) that one is forgiven. There is no Christianity apart from these two elements. This is why…

We Must Call Them to Repent
The gospel of Jesus Christ redeems sinners. That is the Christian message, that is what we are called to preach to the lost of this world. Mankind is dead in trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1) because we all are born with a sin nature (Ps. 51:5). Because our federal head, Adam, sinned in the garden,…

The Danger of Unjust Anger
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You…

Submission and Love – Biblical Marriage Defined
Perhaps one of the most hotly debated, and even hated, passages of Scripture is Ephesians 5: 22-33, which reads: “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now…

What is a Christian? A Christian is a person who was once a rebel sinner, at war with God through wicked works. But by God’s merciful redeeming grace, he or she has been freed from their sins and adopted into His family through the propitiatory work of Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:21-26). Because Jesus died in…

If God Is Real, Why Is Your Life So Hard?
Recently, someone I know was asked “if God is real, why is your life so terrible?” Sadly, this is an all too common question that is loaded with presuppositions. It assumes that for God to be real, life cannot be difficult. It assumes that I should never have to deal with difficulty. It assumes that…

Math is Not Relative But Critical Theory Is
It is a simple math equation, one we all learned in grade school, 2+2=4. It’s pretty much a universal constant, right? If you take 2 apples and add 2 more apples, you get four apples. It really doesn’t get much more simple than that. Unless you have an agenda that is. Since the death of…

Obedience from Love
Recently, my pastor taught from Romans 7, speaking of Paul’s inability to keep the law of his own accord and his realization of his need for a Savior. In the culmination of his teaching on the law, my pastor made a wonderful application about our obedience to God’s law: out of Christ, we cannot obey…

Stop Reading Revelation With the Headlines in Hand
Author’s Note: As a premillennial dispensationalist, I’m a bit of an enigma to my biblically conservative brethren. It tends to follow that if you are a believer in the doctrines of grace and in cessationism, you will likely be amillennial in your eschatology. However, there are still many of us who hold to a premillennial…
