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 →
Introduction Stephen Wolfe presented a detailed case for why a nation should point itself to the earthly and heavenly good of its people in his book, The Case for Christian Nationalism. While a nation should be ensuring the earthly good of its people, it has no place directing its people toward heavenly good as we... Continue Reading →

“Why so serious?” It’s a famous question that nearly every movie buff will recognize. But I’d like to pose a counter question. Why are we not serious enough? Why are we so lackadaisical in our approach to the things of God? I mean, we’ll pray when things go wrong, give thanks when things go right,... Continue Reading →
