  • 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…

  • A Defense of Western Christian Colonialism

    Much has been asserted in recent years by revisionist historians and neo-Marxist activists claiming the Western colonization of the New World (primarily South America and Central America) and Africa was a great act of evil that brought only unwanted misery and terror. Such superficial and sensationalistic claims are easily refuted using actual history and sound…

  • January 6th, 2021: Insurrection or Idiocy?

    On January 6th, 2021, as Congress was certifying Joe Biden as the newly elected President as a result of his winning the 2020 presidential election, a group of angry supporters of President Trump stormed the Capitol Building where the members of Congress were, including Vice President Mike Pence. They wanted to stop Congress from certifying…

  • Some Reformed utter “Bah Humbug!” and seek to cancel Christmas!

    Dear fellow Reformed: Stop saying it’s a sin to celebrate Christmas, or that such a celebration is unbiblical. You do things every single day not explicitly commanded in Scripture. It is a gross misapplication of the regulative principle which itself is problematic. I favor the normative principle. Unless something is SINFUL OR EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN by…

  • The Glorious Protestant Reformation: Some Thoughts on Reformation Day

    On this day, October 31st, in the year of our Lord, 1517, an Augustinian friar (monk) in the Roman Catholic church, Martin Luther (1483-1546), who was also a theologian, priest, and a professor at the University at Wittenberg, nailed his 95 theses, which were theological problems he saw with Catholic theology as well as practices…

  • Women in the Early Church

    Background Orthodox Metropolitan Kallistos Ware describes his view, on the possible ordination of women in the Orthodox church below: Thankfully, most Orthodox oppose the practice and see it absent in church tradition, and the writing of the Church fathers. Kallistos is a theological liberal who has taken up many heresies over the years. This video…

  • The sad tale of Chick-fil-A

    Sorry folks, but Chick-fil-A is not promoting the Biblical values it was created to follow. Once a stalwart defender of Biblical orthodoxy, a lone voice in the corporate world against the insanity and filth of LGBT. Sorry, but it’s now gone woke! Recently, the CEO of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, shined the shoes of Christian rapper…

  • Lighting a powder keg

    According to recent reports, America and NATO continue sending hundreds of millions of dollars of military AID to Ukraine ($350 million from America alone) including anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, bombs, and other weapons. This is utterly reckless and stupid! More people will die as a result of these weapons, more Russians will die and it…

  • Communist takeover of America

    The unfairly maligned US Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was prescient in his vision of communist infiltration and eventual takeover of America in the early 1950s. He saw the problem primarily in the entertainment industry, the state department, and even the army (see more on this below), but the real seeds of destruction, in my view,…
