Confessing Orthodox Reformed Theology
There exists a world where disease is spreading rampantly. Daily, it claims its victims and ravages them from the inside out. Neighbors and friends fall prey to the devastating effects of this war while the vast majority does nothing to stop it. It’s slowly taking over loved ones and won’t stop until it overtakes the...

Author's Note (11/25/23): This early post of mine has been getting some attention again. Revisiting it, I continue to stand by its content. However, I do worry that some parts of it could be misunderstood as teaching that we should disparage all our earthy duties altogether, so I want to be crystal clear that I'm... Continue Reading →
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 →

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 →
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 →
Retraction: The author still stands with the substance of this post, but has developed in his thinking on this topic throughout the pandemic. The end of this post implies that it is acceptable for a church to treat the government's mandates as a "providential hindrance" so long as the mandates only continue for a short...

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 →
