Confessing Orthodox Reformed Theology
Introduction Stephen Wolfe presented a detailed case for why a nation should point itself to the earthly and heavenly good of its people in his book, The Case for Christian Nationalism. While a nation should be ensuring the earthly good of its people, it has no place directing its people toward heavenly good as we... Continue Reading →
MORALITY. Where does it come from, what is the standard, and who can make such a declaration? These are all things I've touched on in this series. In PART 1, I wrote on whether one must subscribe to theism if there is a desire to claim a sense of morality. In PART 2, I highlighted... Continue Reading →
MORALITY. In my PREVIOUS ARTICLE, I wrote on whether one must subscribe to theism if there is a desire to claim a sense of morality. Ultimately, I concluded that a rejection of theism automatically disqualifies one of having any sense of justification behind their moral code. It becomes a meaningless standard with no authority to... Continue Reading →
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV) We’ve heard as Christians over and over that God saves. We don’t earn or merit our salvation from God. If... Continue Reading →
This post likely won't win me many friends. Obviously, Christian nationalists won't like me criticizing their position. But this post will likely frustrate many on the anti-Christian nationalist side of things too, because this post is NOT about principled pluralism, post-WWII conceptions of religious liberty, or really anything that would satisfy secular America today. Indeed,... Continue Reading →

Whether it be a Christian, a questioning unbeliever, or a staunch atheist, people from all three categories generally try to be a good person, whatever that may look like within their worldview. The question is not one of whether a person can desire to be... Continue Reading →
The topic of the preservation of Scripture is a hot topic among the Reformed. Books are written, podcasts made, and articles posted (including this one!). Garnet Howard Milne wrote a book on what the purity of the text of Scripture meant according to the Reformed called, ‘Has the Bible been kept pure? The Westminster Confession... Continue Reading →
A couple years ago, I uploaded a paper I wrote defending a single-fulfillment approach to interpreting biblical prophecy, particularly as it relates to prophecies about Christ. I alluded to Augustine as an example of how this looks in practice, where he likewise saw in the example of 2 Samuel 7:4-17 Christ alone fulfilling the prophecy,... Continue Reading →
AUTHORSHIP. As I sit here and write this article, I find it interesting to be writing on the topic of authorship. Having authored several books of my own, I am intimately familiar with the process of forming thoughts, putting them into words, and seeing the final outcome of being published in written form. However, this... Continue Reading →
Christians have long recognized that Christ is prophesied not merely by explicit prophesies but also by type. By type I mean that certain people and events foreshadow Christ and his work. For example, Paul writes: Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,... Continue Reading →
