Are the Jews God's chosen people? What about the nation of Israel? Who are God's elect?
Salvation is found in the true Seed of Abraham, whose faith we fathers should follow in leading our families.
Are the Jews God’s chosen? The state of Israel? What is choosing? Who are elect?
Christians often so mystify God's will that it becomes nearly unknowable. This message tells you how to ascertain God's will for your life.
An anti-globalist, non-racist African narrative with a classically pagan worldview.
The Bible alone will solve this problem: mental health therapy, gun control, and naive views of human nature will not.
The kind of Christian unity the Bible envisions — and that we need today.
Where low-church evangelicals and high-church liturgists are both right.
One of the most important words in the Bible should shape our Thanksgiving this year.
At the root of modern Leftism is an ancient but perennial heresy at war with creation.
A residue of the ancient evil heresy survives today in a church embarrassed by or opposed to God's created order.
If globalism means universal (revelatory) ethical standards and the universal scope of the gospel, its right. If it means refusing to make judgments about cultures, it's wrong.
The glaring deficiencies of our wobbly church and apostate culture correspond strikingly to the distinctive contributions of Puritan Christianity. A new Puritan reformation would go along way toward remedying the deep deficiencies in church and culture.
The great Reformation dictum is not merely a slogan or a proposition. It is a way of living. And without it we cannot be biblical Christians.
If we won't crusade against Satan and sin in all areas of life, we will lose the Christian Faith.
Genesis 1 and 2 were written not simply to satisfy our curiosity about how the universe began, but also to lay out God's "operating system" for his cosmos. Today, all seven of the creational norms revealed in Genesis are under severe attack. The calling of Christians is to urge the world — and the church — to return to creational sanity.
Allowing the truths of creation revealed in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 to shape and reshape our thinking and living is an imperative in today's contra-creational world. Here are ways to do that.
The first and most rapacious Christian heresy survives in churches that preach theologies of escape and a culture that ravages God's creational norms to fulfill its depraved dreams of utter autonomy.
By stressing redemption to the relative neglect of creation, evangelicalism contributed to the present climate of sexual chaos. Only by a return to the sequence of the Bible's story line can we begin properly to combat that modern autonomy.
As God-ordained spheres, the family, state and church each has unique duties and unique limitations. Each must stay within its ordained role.
Christianity is built on a crusade, and you can't preserve a position without crusading for it.
If we do not believe God rewards those who seek Him, we are faithless.
We can't be Christlike if we don't know what Christ was really like.
It's not enough to avoid the evil surrounding us. God calls us to expose and reprove it.
Few appeals are more self-deceptive and dangerous than the call to be "authentic."
Fake News is a natural and anticipated consequence of preferring to live in Satan's alt-world intentionally severed from reality.
The Health and Wealth Heresy is rivaled today by the Sick and Poor Heresy, the spuriously pious idea that robs God of his glory and tramples his promises by assuming that illness and poverty are the expected common lot of his faithful, world-conquering saints, and that we should never pray in faith, expecting deliverance.
Christianity was never intended to be limited to "quiet time" or the church or personal evangelism. The vastly successful manmade medieval and Enlightenment project of dividing life into what Francis A. Schaeffer termed the lower story of "the real world" — education, logic, science, law, politics, the arts, economics, for example — and the separate upper story of Christianity is the utter denial of biblical faith.
Since the gifts and calling of the sovereign God are irrevocable, those who have been devoted to God as children or youths cannot easily escape his loving clutches. This is a warning to rebellious children, and a comfort to godly parents.
