  • Dispensational Hermeneutics

    Having a proper, biblically informed hermeneutic is absolutely critical in importance when it comes to how we interpret Scripture. Sadly this vital subject is not widely taught in most churches. If you ask the average church goer what a biblical hermeneutic is they will give you a blank stare. So what does a biblical hermeneutic…

  • Armageddon (Megiddo): The Final Battle

    The Antichrist and his assembled army will attack Israel and just as it seems all of Israel will be destroyed, Christ will appear on Earth – His Second Coming. The Satanic horde will be annihilate. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and…

  • Catholic Practices That Are Not Apostolic

    Veneration of Mary as Co-Redemptrix:Catholics frequently honor Mary with titles like “Co-Redemptrix” and pray to her as a mediator. The Apostles focused solely on Jesus as mediator (1 Timothy 2:5) and did not elevate Mary in this way. Use of the Rosary:The Rosary, a structured prayer with beads, is a staple of Catholic devotion. No…

  • Being Reformed: The Essentials

    The following beliefs make a person Reformed. These are the sine qua non of being reformed! Covenant theology is not essential to being reformed. It was inherited from Rome. Scripture teaches dispensationalism. The truly reformed, including myself, affirm believer’s baptism, not infant baptism. The latter was inherited from Rome. An amillennial eschatology also came from…

  • The 7 Last Sayings of Christ on The Cross

    The seven last sayings of Christ from the cross are: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) Even though the Roman authorities brutally tortured Christ and hung Him on the cross, He knew they were acting in ignorance. “Today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43) Jesus said…

  • Assurance of Salvation

    We absolutely can have assurance of salvation. This surety is predicated on God’s inerrant and infallible Word. We are saved by Christ’s secure grip on us, not our grip on Him. We are preserved by God’s grace. The following Scriptures give clear and direct evidence of assurance of salvation. Sadly, the sacramental churches, such as…

  • How to Wrongly Worship God

    Many souls are drawn to sacramental churches, such as the Roman Catholic and Orthodox. Oftentimes it is because of the smells and bells (aesthetics). These churches have complicated liturgies, fancy vestments, and there is lots of ritualism. The gospel is largely absent in these churches. They place the fallible traditions of men on the same…

  • Biblical Soteriology Is Monergistic

    Regeneration precedes faith. Faith is the fruit of regeneration, not the root of it. Biblical soteriology (how we are saved) is monergistic. That is, it is God acting alone. Man’s will is enslaved to sin. So his will is limited. Man cannot initiate salvation, because he is spiritually dead. Man’s will is so enslaved to…

  • Free Christian E-Book: The Mystery of the Trinity

    This book is a work by New Testament Scholar Vern Poythress who teaches at Westminster Theological Seminary.  It is titled “Mystery and the Trinity” with the subtitle “A Trinitarian Approach to the Attributes of God.” While Poythress official teaching position is New Testament professor I have found him to be skilled in multiple discipline ranging…

  • The Cult of Mary

    Since the mid-second century AD, there has been a growing cult, in the Roman Catholic church, which is based around Jesus’ mother Mary. Over time, this cult has grown, and now counts hundreds of millions of followers. The Cult of Mary has refashioned the biblical Mary, adding many superfluous and extra-biblical doctrines, which are purely…
