In Reformed Theology we enjoy this Latin phrase. This phrase is exclusively for Gods elect…. “In Luther’s language, we recognize ourselves—each one—to be simul iustus et peccator and semper iustus et peccator. So when we disobey Jesus’ commands, whether by failing to do what he requires or by doing what he prohibits, we do not
A response to the responses of some professing Christians on social media platforms. I made this podcast just before Iran bombed Israel with missiles. Oh, how applicable are the passages used here to that? Disclaimer: When I mentioned the rest of mankind who did not get on the arc. I failed to say that was
Forgive my rambling. I pray I did not sin in my use of the Scriptures. This is a semi-impromptu story about Ciara, our 21-week-old Irish Wolfhound. This morning at 7:30 AM was her appointment to be euthanized. But Lord willing while taking her to the veterinarian, Ciara seemingly showed a glimmer of hope. Long story
This applies to the Steve Lawson scandal. I remember respectfully telling a pastor this once, because he was stretched too thin.

This is a rebuke of leadership of the corrupting SBC who alleged God only “whispers at sexual sin.” After preaching this sermon, I regret not stating the following.

This podcast is a Biblical charge to Christians to understand and deploy this biblical militant and combatant charge, which is the hapax legomenon in Jude 3, to epagōnizomai. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto
This is the most unusual rape investigation I had. That was because the rape was still in progress when we arrived and in our presence. She was almost the “damsel” in distress that Deuteronomy 22:27 speaks of. Thanks to the woman who heard her screams and interposed by calling 911, we could physically interpose on
The death of actor James Earl Jones further revealed how many professing Christians are the Simpletons the Scriptures warned about. As they ignorantly and ecumenically declared Jones to be in “heaven” where he is now “Resting in Peace” or, “RIP.” We are not omniscient, so I cannot tell you where Jones soul will spend an
In this story, a black lady in South Central Los Angeles was illegally carrying a loaded and concealed firearm in her vehicle. I invoked the lesser magistrate doctrine, resisted the unjust California law, and did not arrest her.
