God Is Sovereign Over Both Justification & Sanctification

The same God who determines which one of us will be justified also determines how far each of us will be sanctified in this life.

You Cannot Build A House Of Peace On The Foundation Of Lies

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 13:00:00 +0000

“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14

“Holiness” is immediately added to “peace” in order to indicate that peace is to be pursued no further than that which is consistent with holiness.

The Poison Of American Individualism

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

“A lame member of the body of Christ, the church... a weak believer; one that is ready to halt, either through the corruption of nature, or through the weakness of grace, or through want of light and judgment, and through instability and inconstancy; lest such a one should, through the irregular walk and conversation of others, be stumbled and offended, and go out of the way, and leave the paths of righteousness and truth. God takes care of, and has a regard to such, and he would have others also. The fallen believer be restored, the weak brother be confirmed, the halting professor be strengthened, and everyone be built up and established upon the most holy faith, and in the pure ways of the Gospel.” -John Gill

Faithful Baptists Should Expect All Their Children To Be Saved

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Covenant Succession is the idea that the children of believers “are expected to succeed in the faith of their parents, and this is accomplished through the divinely ordained means of covenant nurture.” There is no theological reason Reformed Baptists shouldn’t believe this.

Enduring The Cross & Despising The Shame

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Just as the Israelites were encompassed with the pillar of cloud in the wilderness, New Testament saints are also surrounded by a “cloud.” Only, this cloud which surrounds us is “a cloud of witnesses” - the Old Testament saints whose faith and patience were just mentioned in the preceding chapter. Remember, some of these Old Testament saints experienced immense victory, while others experienced crushing defeat. In either case, they all bore noble testimony to God and received commendation from God for their faith. And these Old Testament saints now serve as witnesses for, or against us, as we seek to live by faith. They are compared to a "great” cloud because they encompass us on every side, and are many in number.

Judaism, Gospel, & Theonomy

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Although the daily sacrifice in Israel ought to have ceased at the death of Christ, it did not in fact cease until the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. Therefore, when considering the larger context of the preceding chapters (Hebrews 10 & 11), what “weight” and corresponding “sin” would most likely be hindering these Christians ability to “run with endurance the race... set before [them]”? It was the weight of constant participation in the ceremonial system of Judaism, and the sin of unbelief in the finished atonement of Christ.

Clouds, Witnesses, & Judgment

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Scripture teaches that we are “surrounded by a great cloud which surrounds us is “a cloud of witnesses.” These past saints, now in glory, are not mere cheer leaders for Christians living today. They serve as witnesses for, or against us, as we seek to live by faith.

Salvation In The Old Testament Vs. the New Testament

America Has Approximately 60 Years Left!

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Postmil is not about improvement in one nation over the past 50 years, it’s about overall improvement in the world as a whole over the past 2,000 years. America is in apostasy. It will either repent or be destroyed. In either case, Postmil is just fine. We must pray for America’s repentance, but it is imperative that American Christians understand that our nation isn’t needed to fulfill God’s plans. Many nations have come and gone throughout the course of human history, but the Gospel has continued to spread.

Gospel-Centered Postmillennialism | Part 2

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

So why was the Jews’ desire for salvation so far off from God’s plan? Because they did not recognize their truest need. We all want salvation from something, but is that something the same thing that Jesus came to save us from? It is true that Jesus is the King of Righteousness, and therefore, he came to save us from the tyranny of earthly kings and corrupt governments. But how does he accomplish this salvation? He accomplishes this salvation by first saving individuals from their sin. Apart from Christ, our greatest enemy is not the pagan culture or wicked politicians. Our greatest enemy is God.

Gospel-Centered Postmillennialism | Part 1

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Savior & King

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

At the time of Jesus’ birth, the nation of Israel was asking God for salvation. For them, salvation meant liberation from the rule of the Romans. In order to receive this salvation they needed a savior. The savior they asked for was a warrior dressed for battle, but the savior they received was a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. They wanted the fierce lion, but what they needed was the sacrificial lamb.

The Manger, The Cross, & The Throne

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The birth of Jesus and the death of Jesus can never be truly separated. The incarnation was God setting the stage for the crucifixion. The manger exists as the prelude to the cross. And the cross exists as the path to the throne. Jesus was born so that at the proper time he could die. And Jesus died so that he might reign.

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Choosing to remain in godless states such as California and New York is not courageous. Most of the time, it’s just stupid. When in doubt, you should flee. The choice to stay in a context of wickedness, especially with a wife and children, requires a much clearer calling from the Lord.

The Three Most Common Temptations

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

The word “world” may be used to refer to the physical world (John 1:10) or to the people of the world collectively (1 John 2:2). In those senses, there is nothing immoral about Christians loving the world. However, John also uses the word “world” to refer to the evil, organized system under Satan, which operates through unbelieving people who have been taken captive to do his will. This demonic system is chiefly characterized by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the boastful pride of life.

Looking To The Day When Children Laugh At Evolution

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

It’s clear that we’re in a dip right now, but the overall trajectory of Christ’s victory over Satan is on the rise. One day, our grandchildren will be taught evolution in their schools merely as example of the folly that comes from rejecting Christ, and they will laugh at its foolishness.

Why Did Jacob Give The Greater Blessing To Joseph’s Younger Son, Instead Of The Older?

Wed, 07 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Is Jacob simply biased because of his own personal experience? Did Jacob make it his mission in life to go around cheating older sons out of their blessing? Why did Jacob give the greater blessing to Joseph’s younger son, at the expense of Joseph’s older son?

How Did Isaac Bless Jacob “By Faith,” If He Thought He Was Blessing Esau?

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

The most pressing question regarding Isaac’s blessing of Jacob is this: How could Isaac have blessed Jacob by faith, when he was deceived by him and thought he was blessing Esau. It is clear that the blessing of Jacob was not the design of Isaac.

If Esau Didn’t Repent, Why Did He Reconcile With Jacob?

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Hebrews 12:17 says, “For you know that afterward, when [Esau] desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.” So, according to Scripture, Esau did not (and COULD not) repent. If this is the case, why does Esau appear to forgive Jacob and then reconcile with him? This text is quite confusing because later in Esau’s life, he really seems to behave like a Christian.

Abraham Sacrificing Isaac

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

“[Abraham] showed great readiness to do it; as soon as he had the command given him, he traveled three days' journey in order to it; took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on his son; took fire, and a knife in his hand, with the one to burn the wood, with the other to slay his son; he built an altar, laid the wood in order on it; and bound his son, and laid him on that; and took the knife, and stretched forth his hand to slay him, and fully intended to do it, had he not been prevented: and all this he did by faith; he believed the equity, justice, and wisdom of the divine command; he was fully assured of the truth and faithfulness of God in his promises, however contrary this might seem thereunto; and he was strongly persuaded of the power of accomplishing them in some way or another.” -John Gill

Yes, 1689 Baptists Can/Should Affirm ‚ "Covenant Succession"

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

The salvation of our children is not a crapshoot. Unconditional election does not mean arbitrary election. The same God who predestines the ends of salvation also predestines the means, and the two are never severed. And what was typical of Jewish households in the first century should not be viewed as the norm today, especially after 2,000 years of the “mustard seed” growing into an all-encompassing tree.

The Nephilim | Satan's Attempt To Cut Off The Messianic Line

When Wicked Hearts Have Their Way

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

At the level of the heart, the people of Noah's day were no more wicked than the people of our day. But in terms of their outward deeds and behaviors, they were far worse. This is because the Law of God was not functioning properly in its 2nd Use... and because of the Nephilim.

A Lesson From Noah | Standing Alone In A Wicked Generation

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

In order to be a faithful Christian, each of us must be willing and prepared to stand alone. We will all repeatedly face pressure to violate God's standards and go along with the crowd. In the workplace, our associates will likely engage in blasphemous speech and immoral activities, and occasionally, they will urge us to join them. At family gatherings over the holidays, the rest of the family may ridicule us for our theological convictions and commitments to godly parenting. In these settings, how will we respond? No one likes to be ridiculed or rejected. We all want to be liked and included. At some time or another, each of us will be tempted to simply go along with the crowd rather than to stand alone for Jesus Christ. However, if we choose to yield, we dishonor Christ and forfeit our distinctive witness for our Savior. In light of this, there is perhaps no greater example of a man who stood alone than Noah. Imagine what it would be like to be the only godly family on earth. Noah’s life teaches us that Christians must be willing and prepared to stand alone in the midst of an evil age, and that the secret to accomplishing this is to establish a consistent pattern of daily walking with God.

The Regulative Principle Of Worship | Why Cain’s Offering Was Rejected By God

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

“The superior excellency of Abel's sacrifice to Cain's, lay both in the matter, and in the manner of it; the one was offered heartily to the Lord, the other only in show; the one was offered in faith, the other not; Abel looked through his sacrifice to the sacrifice of Christ, not so Cain. Abel's sacrifice was a lamb, a type of Christ, the Lamb of God; a firstling, a figure of him who is the firstborn of every creature; one of the fattest of his flock, expressive of the excellency of Christ.” -John Gill

Enemies Of God Always Want To Re-Write The History Books

Debunked | Christians Aren’t Better Than Unbelievers, They Just Made A Better Choice…

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

“Faith is chosen by God to be the receiver of salvation, because it does not pretend to create salvation, nor to help in it, but it is content humbly to receive it. Faith is the tongue that begs pardon, the hand which receives it, and the eye which sees it; but it is not the price which buys it. Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ. She becomes a good servant to bring the riches of the Lord Jesus to the soul, because she acknowledges whence she drew them, and owns that grace alone entrusted her with them.” -Charles Spurgeon

Does God Care More About The Free-Will Of A Drunk Driver Than The Safety Of Your Family?

Pastor, You’re Preaching To Saints, Not Pagans

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

The Bible contains severe warnings, but in virtually every instance of a threat, there is also a promise that can be found nearby. In a biblically faithful church, the pastors’ default position should be that he is preaching to the people of God, not rebellious pagans.

Am I Truly Saved, If I Continue In Habitual Sin? | Part 2

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

For whom is there “no longer any sacrifice for sins”? The answer is those who “go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth” (the knowledge of Christ and his Gospel). Some theologians say that there is not any one particular sin in view here. They assert that the Apostle is referring to any sin that continues to be committed both willfully and habitually, after the individual has heard the Gospel. So what does the Bible actually teach regarding this difficult passage in Hebrews 10:26-27?

Am I Truly Saved, If I Continue In Habitual Sin? | Part 1

“Good News” Is Loving, But So Is “Bad News”

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Many Christians wrongly believe that the only good motivation comes from hearing about grace, rather than judgment. And they allow this misinformed belief to distort their view of God, until there are no theological categories left to comprehend, let alone love, a God whose wrath “is a fury of fire” against sinners. The Scripture clearly teaches that God is not slightly upset about sin, but passionately furious. Hebrews 10:26-31 stands against the false assumption that the only motivating news is good news. For every true follower of Christ, there is both the promise of joy and the warning of judgment. This is a message of God that our world today does not want to hear. And sadly, this message of God is even despised by many in the church.

Student Loan Forgiveness Is NOT The Gospel!

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000

God did not create a world where man’s obedience to God’s commandment to be fruitful and multiply would result in our own demise. God’s Word is reliable.

God Really Does Desire Sacrifice, But The Only Sufficient Sacrifice Is Christ

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000

God Punishes Sinners, Not Sin

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Evangelicals make frequent use of the platitude “hate the sin, not the sinner.” But is this catchy phrase actually biblical?

Christ Did NOT Die For Victims

Fri, 19 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Christ didn’t die for victims. Christ didn’t die for pretty good people. Christ didn’t die for well meaning people who merely lost their way due to bad circumstances. On the contrary, Christ died for sinners, of which I am the foremost.

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

For Those Who Think God’s Judgment Is “Harsh”

Fri, 12 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Do you think eternal hell is harsh? Perhaps, that’s because you’re a sinner. Do you think God’s judgment towards perversion is harsh? Perhaps, it’s because you’re a pervert. The wicked are simply not qualified to determine what is just.

Many Calvinists Actually Despise The Sovereignty Of God

Thu, 11 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Christian, There Is Hope For Change

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

One of the clearest signs of salvation is spiritual growth. No, we will never reach a state of sinless perfection in this life. However, it is radically unbiblical to suggest that followers of Christ do not continually become more like him.

Is Theocracy Such A Bad Idea?

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 13:00:47 +0000

There’s No GOOD NEWS Without The BAD NEWS

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 14:12:30 +0000

Pharisees Are NOT Exclusively In The Church, Look At The Democrat Party

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000

How To Respond To Slanderous Charges Of Legalism

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000

On the whole, the problem with American Evangelicals is not legalism, it’s antinomianism. Regardless, most American Evangelicals are far more concerned with what they perceive to be legalism, than actual lawlessness. Christians, therefore, must be properly equipped to respond to slanderous charges of being legalistic.

God Mocks The Wicked, So Should We

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:45:35 +0000

Scripture is clear that God “takes no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked.” However, Scripture also tells us that God mocks the wicked, in the sense that God sees their feeble attempts to cast off his authority and “he who sits in the heavens laughs.” As the people of God, we should seek to imitate God’s holy example.

A Few Problems With “Natural Law”

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Postmillennialism | Transformation From The Bottom-Up

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 13:36:13 +0000

Baptists Need To Parent Like Presbyterians

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 14:16:18 +0000

“I’m not sure whether my three little girls are regenerate. Regardless of whether or not they are regenerate, I will raise them as ‘pre-Christians,’ not pagan enemies of God. Even as a Baptist, I fully believe that when it comes to the salvation of my children, the question is merely a matter of WHEN God will choose to save them, not IF God will choose to save them.” -Pastor Joel Webbon

The New Covenant Makes Us New People

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Zero Apostates In The New Covenant

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:30:52 +0000

Under the New Covenant, the will of God is written not just on tablets of stone, but on the minds and hearts of all God's people. God not only replaces shadows with substance, but he also takes that substance and places it within his people; God writes it on our hearts. In other words, God does not merely lay his gift of salvation down at our feet for us to pick up in our own strength. Rather, God picks it up for us and ensures we never lose it.

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 12:25:15 +0000

If a neutered and spineless pastor is willing to starve his sheep by refusing to courageously preach God’s Word, I will make no apology for when his congregants leave his church and come to mine. God delights in faithful churches increasing by both “conversion growth” and “transferred growth.”

The Feminization Of The Church

Wed, 04 May 2022 05:00:00 +0000

There are reasons why men don’t go to church, and it’s not merely because of men’s sin. American Evangelicalism has geared itself almost exclusively toward women, and it has demonized masculinity.

Can A True Christians Ever Possess Unbelief?

Tue, 03 May 2022 05:00:00 +0000

There is a dynamic difference between DOUBT and UNBELIEF. True Christians will occasionally wrestle with doubts, especially during the beginning stages of their sanctification. But do true Christians ever wrestle with unbelief?

Two Things That Jesus Hates

Mon, 02 May 2022 05:00:00 +0000

In John 11, we see that Jesus was “deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled.” Some have interpreted this phrase to mean that Jesus was overcome by GRIEF. This is partially true, but we must also understand this phrase to mean that Jesus was filled with ANGER. So what/who was the object of Jesus’ anger? There are actually two key objects of Jesus’ anger that we must properly identify if we wish to fully understand the person and work of Christ.

“Slavery To The Fear Of Death” | Hebrews 2:14-15

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

“Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.” (‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:14-15‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

The Church Is Full Of Idolaters & Hypocrites

Thu, 28 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

As Christians, we say that we value our soul more than our body. In God’s mercy, he used the last two years to reveal all the liars.

Ignorance Is Not An Excuse

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

God always validates his Word. Those who choose to reject God’s truth, do so out of rebellion.

A Terrifying Judgment For Covenant Breakers

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Judgment will be more severe for those who apostatize after receiving the signs and seals of the New Covenant.

“The Message Declared By Angels”? | Hebrews 2:2

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

“For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? (Hebrews‬ ‭2:2-3‬ ‭ESV)‬‬

Even The Angels Are Stumped By This One Mystery

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

There is one divine mystery that the Bible says even the angels are stumped by.

How Much Faith Is Enough For Salvation?

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Do you have enough faith to be saved? How can a person know that their faith is sufficient?

Not All Who Say, “Lord, Lord,” Will Enter The Kingdom

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

The world is filled with unbelievers who will go to hell when they die. But sadly, even within our churches, there are some who are not truly saved. So how can we know that our salvation is real?

“Fathers, Do Not Exasperate Your Sons.”

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

What does it mean for a father to “exasperate” his son? How can fathers avoid this destructive sin?

How To Possess Righteous Anger

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

In our pursuit of holiness, we are not seeking to have an “absence” of anger. We are seeking to have “righteous” anger. Righteous anger requires three things: 1) Anger for the right “things,” 2) Anger at the right “times,” and 3) Anger in the right “measure.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses Need To Know This About Jesus | Part 2

Thu, 14 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jesus was originally created by God as the archangel Michael before the physical world was made. In other words, JW’s believe that Jesus is a creature, not the CREATOR. JW’s will say Jesus is “a god,” but not actually GOD.

However, Scripture does not teach that Jesus is a “superior angel.” Instead, Hebrews 1:4-5 says that Jesus is “superior TO angels.”

“WHAT” Was Jesus Before The Incarnation?

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Jesus was physically born approximately 2,000 years ago, but he has always existed. Christ is no mere creature, he is Creator. But “WHAT” was Jesus before his incarnation?

The Holy Spirit Is A “Shy” Person

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

J. I. Packer once said, “The Holy Spirit is a SHY person.” In this sermon clip, Pastor Joel Webbon explains what J. I. Packer meant. Joel then further explains the overarching ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Jehovah’s Witnesses Need To Know This About Jesus | Part 1

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 13:28:53 +0000

However, Scripture does not teach that Jesus is a “superior angel.” Instead, Hebrews 1:4-5 says that Jesus is “superior TO angels.”

How Your Bible Study Helped Destroy America | Part 2

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Christians in America have insisted that Scripture has limitless INTERPRETATIONS, but limited APPLICATIONS. In other words, we have embraced RELATIVISM in our exegesis of Scripture, while insisting that Scripture must ONLY be applied to the HOME and the CHURCH. Meanwhile, the rest of society is falling apart. And we justify this degradation of our society with our ESCHATOLOGY. Christians in America continue to champion PREMILLENNIALISM, excusing the church’s responsibility for the downfall of our culture by consoling ourselves with the notion that things are supposed to get worse and worse until Jesus returns. This is nothing more than a recipe for disaster, a SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.

God Is Mean, Jesus Is Nice

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Perhaps you’ve heard someone say, “The God of the Old Testament is harsh, but in the New Testament, Jesus is more loving.” This foolish sentiment radically misunderstands the Trinity.

Jesus Is The Final Revelation

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.” Hebrews‬ ‭1:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

How John Piper & Matt Chandler Smuggled Confusion Into The Church

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Pastor Joel Webbon provides one of the clearest and most consider arguments for refuting an incredibly dangerous doctrine from Charismatics.

How Your Bible Study Helped Destroy America

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 12:38:07 +0000

The Most Common Charismatic Heresy

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +0000

One of the most common heresies found in Charismatic Churches is the Kenosis Heresy. In order to defend Christians ability to perform all the signs and wonders that Jesus did, Charismatics insist that Jesus “emptied” himself of his divinity during his earthly ministry. It’s a common, but serious, misunderstanding of Philippians 2.

Are We Currently In The Millennium?

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Is Jesus ruling and reigning now? If so, is he ruling and reigning on earth in addition to ruling in heaven? The short answer is yes, but watch this brief clip and you’ll get a full understanding.

It’s “Truth IN Love,” Not “Truth OR Love”

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

There is no love apart from truth. So stop being ambiguous about the truth in order to appear more loving.

If You Voted For Joe Biden, You Sinned!

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Some of you probably didn’t appreciate the title of this sermon clip. You might think a pastor has no business bringing such political “opinions” into the pulpit. But the Bible speaks to politics, and voting for Joe Biden was clearly wrong.

You Won’t Learn Biblical Masculinity From “Big Eva”

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 12:02:03 +0000

Masculinity is under attack by our culture. That should be no surprise. But sadly, even biblical masculinity is under attack by many Evangelical Elites within the Church.

Defining Gentleness According To The Bible

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

In his earthly ministry, Jesus was full of the Spirit at all times. Jesus did not possess “parts” of the Holy Spirit, while lacking others. In other words, Jesus perfectly modeled all the fruit of the Spirit, in full measure, at all times - including the fruit of GENTLENESS. So when Jesus fashioned a whip of cords to drive the money-changers out of the temple, he perfectly demonstrated what biblical gentleness looks like when God’s house is defiled.

Understanding Federal Headship

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

You are either in Adam or in Christ. There is no in between, and you do not get to represent yourself.

Where The Battle Rages, There The Soldier’s Loyalty Is Proved

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Martin Luther once said, “If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved. And to be steady on all other battlefields is merely flight and disgrace if he flinches at that one point.”

The Final Stage Of Rebellion | Society’s Approval Of Perversion

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

The final stage in the progression of sin is a society's collective approval of the sinner and his perversion. However, do not be naive. Neutrality is a myth. If a society chooses to approve of sin, in order to be consistent, this society will eventually choose to condemn righteousness and all those who stand for righteousness. (Romans 1:32).

CNN | A Cesspool Of False Prophets

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

People do not merely choose to believe false narratives because they were deceived. Rather, people “accumulate” for themselves false prophets who will tell them what they want to be true. 2 Timothy 4:3 says, “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions.”

“Suppressing The Truth In Deeds Of Unrighteousness”

Fri, 18 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Unbelievers do not rebel against God because they are ignorant. The Bible clearly teaches that unbelievers are ignorant because of their rebellion.

Women Will Always Serve Men

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

The great lie of Feminism is that it promised women that they no longer would be relegated to the role of helping to build the house of a man. But in a tragic sense of irony, women “liberated” by feminism stopped helping to build the house of one man (their husband) and became enslaved to building the house of another man (their corporate employer).

Even Christians View Children As Burdens

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

The Bible says children are a blessing, but even Christians often choose to view them as burdens. What other blessing do we seek to postpone and minimize? And yet, when it comes to children, Christians often choose to have fewer of them and to have them later in life.

Children Are Not Just Blessings, They Are Weapons

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Children are not just blessings, they are weapons. A father and mother are blessed when they have multiple children in their youth, and raise these children to fight on the Lord’s side.

“Whatever Does Not Proceed From Faith Is Sin”

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000

It is quite possible to do the right thing, but still be in sin. Romans 14:23 says, “For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.” So what does it mean to do something “IN FAITH”?

Jesus Is NOT The Author Of Sugar And Spice And Everything Nice

Fri, 11 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Jesus is NOT the author of sugar and spice and everything nice. You cannot manufacture your own “preferred” Jesus. We are to be conformed into HIS likeness, not the other way around. If we truly desire to possess Christ, we must have the RIGHT Christ and the WHOLE Christ.

The Author And The Finisher Of Our Faith

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

If God begins a work, he will carry it out to completion.

Social Justice Warriors Love In Theory, But Not In Practice

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

It’s easy to love people “collectively” in “theory,” but the true test of biblical love is actually loving people “individually” in “practice.”

Every Man Is The “Pastor” Of His Home

Tue, 08 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

“Not every Christian man will be a “professional” theologian, but every Christian man must be a “resident” theologian in his home.” -Doug Wilson

Your “Bible Study Group” Might Be Doing More Harm Than Good

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Each text of Scripture has only one faithful interpretation. It doesn’t matter what a particular Bible verse means to you. It matters what that particular verse means to God.

Those Who Will Not Bow, Will Break!

Fri, 04 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Every knee will bow to King Jesus. All men will either bow willingly by grace, or forcibly when he who rules the world with an iron scepter breaks the knee caps of all his enemies. Christ is not merely the Lord of our sweet little hearts, he is Lord of ALL.

Self-Control | A Necessity For Leading Others

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

If you want to faithfully lead others, you must possess a successful track record of leading your self. Self-leadership is both a qualification for leading others and a fruit of the Holy Spirit. In the Bible, “self-leadership” is called “self-control.”

Building A Lasting House Through Obedience

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

How can we build a house that lasts? By sticking to the “blueprint.” If we want our work to endure, we must be obedient to the Lord.

Our World Is Full Of “Quitters”

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

You don’t have to be the most gifted individual to be successful, you just have to be consistent. Christian men won’t always be able to OUTSMART our pagan contemporaries, but we can OUTLAST them.

All Our Institutions Have Discredited Themselves… Including The Church

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Virtually all of our major institutions have discredited themselves. Sadly, the Church is no exception.

If You Want To Make Money, DON’T Go To College!

Fri, 25 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Many men enter into marriage and parenting far too late in life. Part of this is due to sin, but part of it is due to the financial challenges that come by buying into the SCAM of Higher Education.

Get Married Young And Start Having Kids!

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Building a godly household requires discipline and time. In today’s culture, many do not complete this vital work because they start too late.

Learning When To Rest

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Both work and rest come from the Lord. Only those who do their work “as unto the Lord” have the freedom to rest from their work with a sense of peace and a clear conscience.

Christ’s Principles, Apart From Christ’s Person, Will Never Produce Christ’s Peace

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The principles of Christ, apart from the person of Christ, will not produce the peace of Christ.

Social Justice Is A Hatred Of God’s Sovereignty

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

It is God who assigns wealth and possessions to each individual. Our job is to accept our lot in life and rejoice in our labor. This does not mean that we cannot avail ourselves towards improvement, but a lack of contentment regarding our current circumstances is an indictment of God and his sovereign plan.

“Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5:18-19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

One Thing Jordan Peterson Is Missing

Fri, 18 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Dr. Jordan Peterson is right about many things, and yet, a couple of years ago he experienced a total mental breakdown. Why? Because the PRINCIPLES of Christ, apart from the PERSON of Christ, will never produce the PEACE of Christ.

The Nations Are Christ’s Inheritance

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

God has promised to save the nations, and to give them to his Son as an inheritance.

God’s Grace In The Midst Of Man’s Bitterness

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Jonah wanted Nineveh to be destroyed. Nineveh was the capitol city of Assyria. And Assyria was an enemy of God and his people. No one thought Nineveh could repent, but God was able to change their hearts.

Paul Opposes Peter “To His Face”

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Unity in the church is vital. When an influential leader causes others to be led astray by his actions/teachings, public correction is necessary.

The Spirit Gives Us Sight, The Word Gives Us Light, And Jesus Is The Path

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 14:06:50 +0000

“The whole Scripture is a light shining in a dark place; a lamp or torch to be carried in the hand of a believer, while he passes through this dark world; and is in the present state of imperfection, in which he sees things but darkly... By means of it he may see and shun the stumbling blocks in his way, and escape falling into pits and ditches; it is a good light to walk and work by... Now it should be observed, that the word of God is only so to a man whose eyes are opened and enlightened by the Spirit of God... for a lamp, torch, candle, or any other light are of no use to a blind man.” -John Gill

I Wish Pastor John MacArthur Believed This…

Fri, 11 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

There are few men this ministry is more grateful for than Pastor John MacArthur. But although we heartily agree with much of his teaching and appreciate the vast majority of his impact on the global church, we respectfully disagree with his eschatology and approach to culture/politics. Ironically, despite MacArthur’s apparent bent towards “two-kingdom theology,” few men have had more of an impact on not only the church, but also the culture. This video briefly expresses our few (but significant) theological differences from Pastor John MacArthur.

Premillennialism: A Fierce Commitment To “Losing”

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

I’ve never witnessed another organization more committed to losing than Evangelical Christians. Christians are committed to growing the church through conversion, but they are meticulously careful to expand the church while never winning in the realm of culture and politics. It’s time to get our eschatology right!

Premillennialism: An Exercise In “Shortsightedness”

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Ever heard someone try to prove Premillennialism by saying, “Just look at the world! Can’t you see how things keep getting worse?” Things do sometimes look bleak when we focus on one generation in one nation. However, when we survey the scope of the whole world over the past 2,000 years, things appear to be trending in the right direction.

"I Was Blind, But Now I See”

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

In justification, God gives a man spiritual eyes to see, but initial conversion does not produce perfect sight. In sanctification, God progressively improves our vision so that we might see him more clearly.

How Much Repentance Is Necessary For Salvation?

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

No one reaches a point of sinless perfection in this life. In the same way, no one perfectly repents in this life. If you could repent perfectly, you would live perfectly. So how much repentance is necessary to prove that a person is saved?

Christian Masochism

Fri, 04 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Yes, God uses suffering to sanctify us. Christians are even commanded to be thankful in all circumstances, including suffering. However, there is a difference between thanking God for suffering and asking God for suffering. We are never to petition God for pain

Dismantling The “Poverty Gospel”

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Prosperity is not God’s stamp of approval on our lives, but neither is poverty. A person can be rich and wicked. Likewise, a person can be poor and wicked. God uses both suffering and blessing to sanctify his people.

Grace To Man = Glory To God

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

One of the most consistent patterns in Scripture is God’s mercy to man for the purpose of man glorifying God. In other words, God doesn’t bless us so that we can merely be comfortable. God blesses us so that we can translate his goodness toward us into greater glory toward him.

Law & Gospel

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The Gospel is the wind in our sails and the Law is the rudder. The Gospel pushes us and the Law guides us.

When God’s Commandments Feel Like A Burden

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Frequently, God’s commandments feel like a burden. So how can we “delight in the Law of God” when we are so weak and God seems to have so many rules.

Quit Saying Jesus Was Not Political!

Fri, 28 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Few have ever been born of nobility. Even fewer have been born princes. But only one was ever born a King. And at the moment of his birth, the kings of this world felt the threat of his political power.

For Those Who Don’t Like Theology

Thu, 27 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Sadly, there are many Christians who despise theology. Essentially, these Christians desire to LOVE God, but have little desire to KNOW God. Here’s how you can lovingly respond to this type of person.

Belief In God Does Not Require A Rejection Of Logic

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

There is no inconsistency with God, for “God cannot lie.” And all lies are ultimately rooted in some kind of divergence from logical consistency.

Mantra Meditation Is Soul Damning!

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Mantra Meditation (or Eastern Meditation) seeks to “empty” the mind of all rational thought in order to achieve an intermediate state of “oneness” with everything, and therefore, oneness with the “god” who is in everything (the heresy of Pantheism). This is a dangerous and foolish practice. Not only does it cause the individual to be vulnerable to demonic oppression, it also deceives the individual by convincing them that it is possible to grow spiritually apart from involving the mind.

Encouragement For Those Doubting Their Salvation

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

“Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it. Seal it for thy courts above.

Appreciating The Word vs Applying The Word

Fri, 21 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Many Christians tip their hat to the INERRANCY of Scripture, but never live in such a way to demonstrate genuine belief in the SUFFICIENCY of Scripture.

We All Become Like What/Who We Behold

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Those who worship idols become like them. The Bible describes idols as lifeless, and so their worshippers are spiritually dead. By contrast, the Bible describes our God as the Living God, and so his worshippers receive new life.

How Dr. Fauci Successfully Deceived The Whole World

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Many Christians and Conservatives are at a total loss for how millions of people could be so naive in religiously following “The Science” of Dr. Fauci. This is because we continue to assume there is a NATURAL explanation for this mass hysteria. But what if the current madness of our culture can only be explained in SUPERNATURAL terms?

Pastors Who Twist Scripture To Justify Laziness

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Have you ever heard a pastor say, “My job is not to do the work of ministry, but to train and equip YOU to do the work of ministry.” Here’s why that statement is unbiblical.

PAGAN EGALITARIANISM vs BIBLICAL HIERARCHY

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Equal outcomes do not naturally occur because not everyone is the same. Some have been given more by God than others, and some are willing to work harder than others. Egalitarianism is a lie because “androgyny” is a myth.

Freedom From Idols | A Lesson From Santa

Fri, 14 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Because Santa isn’t real, his cookies and milk are free game. Likewise, since there is only one God, meat sacrificed to idols is back on the menu.

The Stupidity Of Idols | Part 2

Thu, 13 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Idolatry is not merely immoral, it is foolish. When the Bible speaks of those who worship idols it not only describes them as morally wicked, but also stupid. This is because idols are stupid (dumb, blind, deaf, lifeless). And those who worship idols will become like them.

The Stupidity Of Idols | Part 1

Wed, 12 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The “Cost” Of Discipleship

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The salvation that Jesus offers is without price, and yet, there is a “cost” to following Jesus. So how do we reconcile the free offer of salvation with the cost of discipleship?

The Gospel Is A PROMISE, Not A PROSPECT

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The Gospel is not a “prospect” of what God might do for all, but an announcement of what Christ has done (and will do) for his people.

The Song Of The Gospel Shall Fill The Earth

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The Gospel is good news. It is not intended to be merely an announcement that ordained ministers proclaim in solemn assemblies, but a song that all the earth is commanded to sing in a spirit of joy and gladness.

The Bible Condemns Illegal Immigration!

Thu, 06 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Many Christians have not taken the time to properly interpret the word “sojourner” (or “stranger”) as it appears in Scripture. These terms are not meant to be understood as a reference to “illegal” immigration. The Bible staunchly affirms the legitimacy of borders and legal citizenship. Perhaps, Democrats need to sit a few plays out.

Secular Conservatism Is NOT Sustainable!

Wed, 05 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

It is not enough to be conservative, you must be Christian. Secularism, in all its forms (including conservative secularism), will not last. It arrogantly assumes that you can establish a trustworthy house on the foundation of sinking sand. In the final analysis, it is either Christ or chaos.

“Replacement” Theology, Or God’s Plan From The Beginning?

Tue, 04 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Are there two tracks for salvation, one for Israel and another for the Gentiles? Did God replace Israel and cut them out of his covenant forever? Or does God have an eternal plan which includes a “partial hardening” of Israel for a time, but the ultimate “grafting” of both Jews and Gentiles into the same salvific root?

Why Condemn Slavery, But NOT Abortion?

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Our nation continues to insist that civil war was justified to end slavery, but we simultaneously insist that a civil war would not be justified to end abortion (which is responsible for the murder of 60,000,000 children). It was right for America to abolish slavery, but perhaps it was wrong to accomplish this feat at the cost of 650,000 American lives. Other western nations abolished slavery peacefully, and many of these nations are not experiencing the deep-seated conflict over racial issues that America is. Perhaps, the “cold” civil war that America is currently experiencing is God’s judgment, not for unjust slavery in the past but an unjust civil war in the past.

How To “FEEL” Forgiven

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Justification is God’s work “for” us, in Jesus Christ. Sanctification is God’s work “through” us, by the Holy Spirit.

However, the subjective feelings of forgiveness are often accomplished over time throughout our sanctification.

Why Do We Confess Our Sins If We’re Already Forgiven?

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 09:00:00 +0000

1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” In this text, it appears as though confession is a “condition” for forgiveness. So how do we reconcile this text with the idea that Christians are completely forgiven of all their sins (including future sins) from the moment of conversion?

Jesus Is Not Merely The Lord Of Your Heart

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Jesus is not content with the private lordship of your precious little heart. Jesus is Lord of all. When Christians begin to live this way, persecution will come. Perhaps, Christians in America have experienced so little persecution in the past because our religion has been merely “spiritual” and never a threat to the culture.

If You’re Not Persecuted, You Might Not Look Like Jesus

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 08:00:00 +0000

Fri, 22 Oct 2021 08:00:00 +0000

Postmillennialism | Jesus Wins THROUGH His Church!

Thu, 21 Oct 2021 08:00:00 +0000

All Christians believe Jesus will ultimately prove to be victorious. The difference is merely a matter of how Christ will bring about his victory.

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +0000
