  • God’s children: Natural Birth or New Birth

    We’ve all heard the popular assertion, “We are all God’s children.”, but is this slogan really a true statement of fact according to Scripture? In this article we shall examine that question and see what Scripture has to say about it. If we carefully study and exegete Scripture relating to this topic, four things stand…

  • A Response to Reformed Presbyterians: Semper Reformanda

    Background The sine qua non of Reformed theology is soteriology. Covenant theology and certain types of eschatology are not essential core distinctives. Sadly, the majority of Reformed Presbyterians seem to be so bigoted and locked into their infantile theological cliques that they look down upon and refuse to recognize believers such as Reformed Baptists as…

The name of the independent, self-complete being—“I AM WHO I AM”—only belongs to Jehovah God. Our proper response to Him is to fall down in fear and awe of…

  • Covenant Theology vs Dispensationalism: Towards a Definition of Reformed Essentials

    Introduction Covenant Theology (CT) and dispensationalism (D) are both frameworks created by man to understand and make sense of Scripture (both the Old Testament and New Testament). They are meta-systems of analysis and synthesis. Think of them as interpretive grids. Theological propositions or rather truths are distilled into a framework that aids in understanding the…

  • Two-Party Tyranny: America Deserves Better

    Background I posit that America is hurting by our two-party political system. For most of the country, there is not even a viable third-party candidate on a local or state level, let alone national. Nearly every single Western democracy has at the very least 3 major political parties, and most have many more. There is…

Some point to the fact that the production company, Angel Studios, was founded in part by 2 Mormons as enough…

  • The New Mission Field

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…
