Fame. Money. Popularity. Comfort. Peace. Tranquility. Recognition. Awards. All of these have something in common. They are some of the many different things people have a tendency to chase after. We live in a world where we're told to chase our dreams. From our mothers telling us we can be anything we want to modern... Continue Reading →
Errors About the Trinity: A Classical Defense
There is perhaps no doctrine more frequently misunderstood or more difficult to comprehend than the doctrine of the Trinity. A large amount of our errors stem from our refusal to acknowledge that we cannot fully grasp it, and that the inner-workings of our almighty, infinite God are far beyond the capacity of even the best...

Justified By (______)
JUSTIFICATION. What is it? Where does it come from? It's a doctrine that has divided the Church for roughly 500 years and has been an ongoing issue for even longer. It isn’t a subject that can be brushed to the wayside or compromised on. It is a matter of extreme importance and we all need... Continue Reading →
Theonomy No More
THEONOMY. Perhaps there is no word more beautifully deceptive than this. Literally meaning God's Law (theos: God, nomos: law), it sets forth the proposition that our civil magistrates must adhere to God's standard and that our earthly laws should reflect His moral law. Keeping this in mind, it's easy to see how the Christian might... Continue Reading →
JESUS: That Sweet Name Above All Names
My heart is inditing a good matter... my tongue is the pen of a ready writer (Psalm 45:1). In a world full of darkness, error, and confusion, the Christian seems to constantly be engaged in a war of innumerable fronts. Satan's legions are wide and varied, dawning many different uniforms under many different generals, but... Continue Reading →
Man vs. God
I’d like to share a story with you. Though it’ll probably enrage many, I ask that you reserve judgment until the end. It’s a story of a school bus filled with kids on their way home from a tiring day at school. All was normal in the world. The driver was making her way down... Continue Reading →
You’re Doing It Wrong
THEOLOGY. What’s the first thought that comes to your mind? Is it boredom? Perhaps a few examples of division through doctrine? Then again, maybe your first thought was passion. Where does theology rank in your life’s desires? For far too many, it’s simply a word which never even comes to the surface. Many Christians choose... Continue Reading →
Litmus Test for Dummies
I had a vivid dream. I was helping a man fix his car on the side of the road when I accidentally kicked a bolt. I watched as it fell over the side of the cliff into a deep chasm. Feeling responsible, I began my journey of descent into the nether regions of the Earth.... Continue Reading →
It Is Not Good…
ALONE. Have you ever felt completely and utterly alone? I don’t mean the occasional feeling of missing a loved one or even the feeling of being ostracized for an opinion. I’m referring to the deepest sense of the word. Have you ever felt as if you had nobody to turn to, nobody to love you,... Continue Reading →
Sin Written on the Heart?
As a Particular Baptist, I'm very familiar with Jeremiah 31:31-34. Its a commonly used verse in polemics against Paedo-baptists (as it teaches members of the New Covenant must be regenerate). However, today's article is not written against the views of our Paedo-baptist brethren, but instead those of the Pelegians and synergists. I was listening to... Continue Reading →
