The title of my blog post ought to offend every Christian. But the truth is, we learned from Covid, that a majority of local churches and professing Christians, by their demonstration, held a higher view (or fear) of the authorities and the State, than the Lord and His immutable Word of God. The big news
We live in a time when Bereans are quickly slandered by wrongfully being called a “legalist,” “lacking grace,” or being “too critical.” So, I sought counsel from a group of Reformers asking them if my criticism of this baptism (video below) ‘would be a hill worth dying on, or that I might be too critical
Like many others, over the last two years, my wife & I have lost money that we’ve invested in retirement accounts, etcetera. But we know the Lord decrees these things, perhaps as His inevitable judgment. As this worsens, sadly, people with no hope will sinfully commit suicide. But by faith, we do not complain but
In one of the many churches I’ve discerningly visited here in the Bible Belt, the pastor told me that Christians who refuse to apply for membership are intentionally “avoiding church discipline.” I suspect he was referring to me because, at that time, I had visited that church for three months (though no longer there). But
Today I was enjoying my personal study so much, that I wanted to share this portion with others. Most Dispensationalists won’t understand the Old Testament in this way. They often quote John 3:16 as their ‘go-to’ Gospel verse. And while doing so, they wrongfully teach a universal atonement. I know this because I was that
Happy Sabbath Day! This Lord’s Day is not about us, our families, our sports, our pleasures, our work, our recreation, our entertainment, or the false deity of me, myself, and I. But it is everything about our LORD. The Lord’s Fourth Commandment says, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou
The doctrine of atonement is at the core of the Gospel. Therefore, it is essential for salvation. But through sanctification, God willing, I also believe in limited atonement, substitutionary atonement, and penal substitutionary atonement. But sadly, penal substitutionary atonement is a neglected doctrine. Arminians and many dispensationalists don’t want to believe God hates the sinner, not just sin. And that
Last night my wife and I enjoyed a trip to a quaint little town. We had a jeweler install a new battery in my watch, ate some delicious Italian food, then looked at some Christmas lights. And of course, handed out Gospel tracts at each location. But what would not escape my mind while watching
Some of the most misused, misapplied, misquoted or twisted Scriptures are Matthew 7:1, Matthew 18:20, John 3:16, John 8:7, and either Matthew 11:19 or Luke 7:34. But via sloppy hermeneutics, Romans 12:18c is increasingly being used out of context. Romans 12:18c says “live peaceably with all men.” Compromisers that misquote this partial verse want us to believe that
Working as a police officer in the big city, I testify that every Halloween there is an increase in crime and demonic activity. There was a season when an initiation for want-a-be gangbangers was to assault children while they went trick or treating. Hence, a little boy in my LAPD beat was tragically shot &
