Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,... Continue Reading →
REASONS FOR INFANT BAPTISM? PART 3 (Still Searching…)
This is a continuation of two previous articles (see REASONS 1-8 and REASONS 9-16) I wrote as a response to a Presbyterian brother’s so-called “Reasons for Infant Baptism.” As with before, I will continue to provide my response and refutation to each of his points. If you have been following my articles on this subject,... Continue Reading →
The Father is the Only True God. So is the Son.
Muslims (and other Unitarians) frequently bring up John 17:3 as a polemic against orthodox Trinitarian Christianity. Because it has Jesus saying that the Father is the only true God, it must be denying that the Son is God they say. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and...

God Disciplines His Children
Thanks to The Particular Baptist team who reviewed and edited this article. The discipline of the Lord can come in different methods. I think in two different ways, at least primarily: through suffering and through His Word. We must not think that the Christian life will be one only of ease and that we will... Continue Reading →
1 Corinthians 7 Against Pedophilia and Child Marriage
While Pedophilia is not yet culturally acceptable and it may even seem unthinkable that it ever would be, in America I find the trajectory we are in regarding sexual ethics to be extremely troubling. We’ve gone from an acceptance of no-fault divorce to a culture that has no issue with fornication, then to gay marriage,... Continue Reading →
The History of Confessional Christology
The Bible’s affirmation that Christ is both God and man yet one Christ is the mystery upon which all of redemption hangs. The Confession does not attempt to explain this mystery but presents us the classic Chalcedonian paradox, saying, “two whole, perfect, and distinct natures were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition,...

REASONS FOR INFANT BAPTISM? PART 2
A couple months ago, I wrote an article that entailed my responses to eight supposed reasons for paedobaptism. These “reasons” were all proposed by a brother in Christ which led to some great discussion. Just as I did with the first eight, I intend to show why these seven additional reasons (#9 thru #16) aren’t... Continue Reading →
What Does It Mean To Have Our Minds Set On Eternity?
Thanks to The Particular Baptist Team who provided feedback and/or edits to this article. The world is constantly battling for our minds. We are bombarded with the world's way of thinking daily. The evil one is seeking to hinder us in our walk with God. Our mind is the gateway for our actions and the... Continue Reading →
Can We Learn From Roman Catholics?
Thanks to The Particular Baptist team for feedback and edits for this article. There is plenty going around suggesting that it would be improper to utilize Roman Catholic teachers in theology especially as it relates to the doctrine of God. It is easy to see why this would be the case. Roman Catholicism is not... Continue Reading →
Mourning with the “Victims” of Dobbs
In light of the landmark decision to overturn the ruling that led to the federal sanction of ten holocausts worth of murder, some good, godly subversive agents brothers in high-ranking institutions have told us not to be too happy, reminding us to "rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep" (Rom....
