Confessing Orthodox Reformed Theology
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
I want to start off by saying that I fall into the “presup” camp when it comes to apologetics.

PAEDOBAPTISM. Is there a valid reason for doing it? More importantly, is there a valid biblical reason for doing it? See THIS ARTICLE for my thoughts on paedobaptism and the covenant of grace. Over the last few months, a dear brother in the Lord has been sharing what he deems to be “Reasons for Infant... 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 →
Earlier this year, I wrote two articles (Roman Catholics: Mission Field or Family? and Roman Catholicism: Doctrines of Error) outlining some of the major differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. We covered much of the teachings of the Catholic Church by using their own writings and then compared them to Scripture. The undeniable conclusion is that there... Continue Reading →
One would be remiss to write on the important matters of the faith while failing to mention the supremacy and sufficiency of Scripture in the Christian life. In all the ways God has spoken through the ages, the written Word has been the farthest reaching and most used method. Even in Scripture, we see positive... Continue Reading →
