Confessing Orthodox Reformed Theology
If any shall judg what we have here declared doth savor of uncharitableness, rigidnness, censoriousness & bitterness of spirit to them that dissent from us, we desire all such seriously to take notice, that true love and charity is not the soothing of any in their sins, the healing of wounds slightly, the crying peace,...

Dr. Matthew Barrett's departure from the Southern Baptist Convention has taken a small corner of internet theology by storm. But more than what he's departing from, the turmoil has been caused by what he's departing to -- Anglicanism. Critics of classical theology within Baptist circles have already begun turning this into an I told you... Continue Reading →
Jon Moffitt from the Theocast and Kingdoms Unveiled podcasts continues in his attempt to make Heiser's Divine Council view fit with Reformed theology, this time by quoting Westminster divine and Savoy Declaration co-author, Thomas Goodwin.

POLITICS. Is there anything more divisive today? There’s an ongoing unwritten rule in the workplace that co-workers aren’t to discuss religion or politics. For the longest time, I felt it was silly, but that was back during a different time. It was a time when you wouldn’t know one’s political party unless you asked. It... Continue Reading →

(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.
