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 →
Against Christian Hedonism
Two men set out on a journey. They walk at the same pace, and profess to have the same destination - due north. However, one thing separates the friends: one of their compasses has a defect. It's just slightly off, pointing one degree away from north. The man with the good compass has a sharp... Continue Reading →
It Is Not Good…

Leighton Flowers and ReCalvinizing 1 Corinthians 2:14
The professional anti-Calvinist, Leighton Flowers, has made it his life's work to prop up the autonomy of man against the absolute sovereignty of the God "who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" (Ephesians 1:11). But this is no easy task; the complete inability of man in the face of an all-powerful... Continue Reading →
SOLI DEO GLORIA?
In this trying time that has come upon the world due to the Coronavirus, I want to give a reminder (both to anyone reading, and to myself) of why we do the things we do in this world. What should guide our actions as we walk through this life? One of the 5 Solas of... Continue Reading →
