  • The Gospel: Defined and Defended

    Background If you ask many people, who espouse Christ and go to church every week, just what is the gospel you will get various responses. Some will say being a “good person” is the gospel. Roman Catholics may say the gospel is that Jesus died for us and is present in a real way in…

  • Ecumenism: Common Ground or Compromise of Doctrine?

    It’s no secret that the Christian visible church is fractured (the institutional Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches), yet in another sense we have unity in the true Church which is the invisible Body of Christ. It’s made up of the regenerate (God’s Elect) in all the various institutional churches and denominations. Can we achieve common…

    The Problem I’ve noticed recently some polling showing that young people aged 18-25 are leaving the faith they were raised in record droves!

    Background In this article, I discuss what an ideal theocracy would look like, and why I think a modified theonomy within the context of a constitutional theocracy is the best model for Christian governance.

  • The New Mission Field

    For generations (some 45-50 years): Gen-X, Millennials, and finally Gen-Z, there has been this popular idea among Christian parents that they could use their children to retake pagan society for Christ. So they were in effect active missionaries when they went to government (public) K-12 schools and universities. This idea has had devastating effects. Instead…

    Charles Finney popularized the altar call and decisional salvation (decision theology), which is making a decision for Christ by praying and asking Jesus into your heart. It’s synergistic Arminian soteriology. He also advocated for revivals. The true Gospel is one in which God regenerates a believer, through effectual calling, grants them repentance and faith in…
