Such Were Some of You
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

All Things to All People?
“I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.” – 1 Cor. 9:22b This passage has often been cited by those who argue that pragmatism in the church is an acceptable practice. That using any means necessary to grow the church is permissible if the ends (more bodies

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

Deconstruction is Not Reformation
On July 4, 2022, Adam Page, a pastor at Amelia Baptist Church made a post on Twitter that read: “I wish I could find my church deacons from the 90s & tell them Daniel Haseltine (Jars of Clay) Derek Webb (Caedmon’s Call) & Kevin Max (DC Talk) no longer hold to sola scriptura and/or have

Book Review – Christianity and Wokeness

Philosophies and Empty Deceits – The Battle for the Sufficiency of Scripture
In his letter to the Colossians, Paul repeatedly urges his readers to grow in faith, maturity, and knowledge. And from that growth, he calls on them to live in such a manner as they honor and obey God. It is precisely because Christ has redeemed them and made them new creations that the Colossians are

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

”Merry Christmas, Now Buzz Off!”
It started with a simple response to a less than charitable tweet, but it turned into a revelation of just how dark even politically conservative-minded persons can be.
