For the last couple of months I’ve been making my way through a blog series on spiritual abuse which I am calling “Bully Pulpit”. You can see the prior installments here , here, here, and here.
Part of the goal of this series has been to lead up…

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and tea…
Allow me to start with a little historical fiction. I think most historians of American history in the 19th century would agree with me here. If Jackson had not been killed by friendly fire in early May at Chancellorsville, and had been present to lead his troops the first day at Gettysburg, the battle would have been very different. Historians […]
Can’t we all just get along? Do you remember the feeling of freedom we had as kids? Imaginations running wild and streams of thought that flowed unimpeded by the dams … More
The post Tolerance is Not Approval appeared first on Founders Ministries.
I must confess that I am still a rookie when it comes to Covenant Theology. I have read books and articles on the subject and even listened to podcasts discussing it. Some of you might be in the same boat as I am or you might know someone who is new to…
There has been a lot of buzz regarding the new Legacy Standard Bible, which the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs was released in early March. Ever since the news of this translation came out, I have been really excited about it. There has been …
I’m continuing my blog series on spiritual abuse in the church which I am calling “Bully Pulpit”. You can see the prior installments here , here, and here. Since spiritual abuse is not as easy to spot as other forms of abuse, I am working my way throu…

Haykin In an interview that he gave in 2011, historian Mark Noll related how an African scholar had once told him that Western historians needed “to get the Holy Spirit back” into their […]
The Church of Christ is continually represented under the figure of an army; yet its Captain is the Prince of Peace; its object is the establishment of peace, and its soldiers are men of a peaceful disposition. The spirit of war is at the extremely opp…

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” This is a truth which is declared by Paul to the Philippians: God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name (Philippians 2:9). It is a truth which in nowise t…
John MacArthur has created a ruckus, again. A couple of his recent sermons have seemingly disparaged both democracy and religious liberty, declaring neither to be biblical concepts, at least not … More
The post Religious Liberty and The Patriarch of San Fernando appeared first on Founders Ministries.
One of the discussion among Christians today is whether or not the Revelatory sign-gifts have ceased. Some have said they have while others have not. I admit that I have been back and forth on this issue many times, but have come to the conclusion that…
“All who gain power are afraid to lose it.”
So said Darth Sidious (aka, Chancellor Palpatine) in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. And despite being from the dark side, he was correct. The biggest motivator for those in power is often their f…
Consider: The one in whom all things “hold together” (συνέστηκεν, Col 1:17) Became flesh (σὰρξ ἐγένετο, Jn 1:14). The eternal acted in time. This validated the importance of the temporal, without transforming the eternal *into* the temporal, or thereby limiting it. Human language is necessarily temporal in nature, as is our thought process. Because of this, the temptation of our […]
Technology can be a wonderful thing. Many have benefited from it. Granted we love it when it works and want to curse it when it does not. Technology in many ways have been a great asset to the church with websites, apps, and even livestreaming this ser…

So a couple of days ago over on Twitter, where I continue to fly just underneath the radar, I broke the Internet. Of course, I made the fatal mistake of thinking, “Folks will think before reacting” (duh), “Folks will look up the terms and see what I’m talking about” (duh), “People will realize there is a background to what I’m […]
A question that comes up when one goes through the Old Testament is why do we not have a sacrifices anymore. That is a fair question because God has instituted the sacrificial in the book of Leviticus which seems to be one part that most people tend to…
