Well, it’s New Year’s Eve. It’s the time of the year to be inundated with “Best of” stories and “Year in Review” segments, dutifully cataloging everything that happened in pop culture or politics.
But, what if a “Year in Review” was about more than ce…
Note: Part 1 and Part 2 of this series. Passage of Focus: Galatians 4:4-5 (cf. Psalm 22:22-24) It has been well said that one of the central themes in Scripture could be summarized as follows: “God is redeeming a people by His Son, for His Son, to His own glory.”[1] When contemplating the totality of […]
*Note: Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this series can be accessed here (insert links to articles). During the first half of the twentieth century, few Christian figures were more active in contending for the faith than J. Gresham Machen (Jude 1:3).[1] When confronted with the face of theological liberalism in the Presbyterian Church […]
Thanks for reading this latest installment from my current project of reading (and blogging) through Augustine’s works. This book, known as On Nature and Grace, was a short work at around 50 pages. Extract from Augustine’s Retractions (Book II, Chapter 42): At that time also there came into my hands a certain book of Pelagius’, …

Although the federal government agreed with our Amicus Brief we submited. Ultimately putting an end to ROE v. WADE their ruling wasn’t exactly what we hoped it would be.
The Pro-Life industry does not want you to see this because they are dead set on NOT ending abortion. They are an industry making tens of millions of dollars. Don’t believe us? Watch until the end.
Augustine worked on his Exposition of the Psalms over the course of 30 years as he preached or taught through them. As I’ve been reading through Augustine’s works and posting highlights from them, I’ll also be slowly posting through his works on the Psalms. While Augustine is typically known for “City of God” being his …

Last evening I spent a few hours talking with a former Christian, now a “skeptic.” Andrew Rappaport had me join him for the discussion, which I thought was going to be more on the history of the NT, manuscripts, etc., but turned out to be a more general “there’s just no evidence” exchange. You can watch it here. You will […]

Not: Part 1 of this series. Passage of Focus: Luke 1:26-38 (cf. Isaiah 9:6-7) Cur Deus Homo. Translation: “Why God Became Man.” Such a phrase encapsulates one of the greatest mysteries that has ever been pondered by mankind, and it serves as the title for one of the most significant theological works to ever be […]
Note: Parts 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this series. Barring anything unforeseen, the United States of America was forever changed on June 26, 2015. In the wake of Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court formally legislated every state to license marriages between same-sex couples, and to recognize all marriages that were lawfully performed out of state.[1] […]
If you have watched Fighting for the Faith, you have seen Chris Rosebrough address false teachings within the church including those who claim to have received a word for the Lord. In this video, he is going to show us the Biblical tests for all who cl…
Baptism is a likeness of death when you go down into the water, and when you rise again it becomes a likeness of resurrection. Thus, according to the interpretation of the apostle, just as Christ’s resurrection was a regeneration, so the resurrection…
As Christmas time approaches, I am sure some you have been asked why God sent Jesus. Maybe you are asking that same question yourself. God did not send Jesus to give us another holiday. There are good, theological reasons why the Father sent the Son.&n…
Introduction Last time we left off talking about sin. Namely, whether our first parents sinned, the definition of sin, and the nature of that sin our first parents committed. Now we begin to look into the effects of the preliminary sin committed by our first parents. This will take up a few articles, including this […]
Passage of Focus: Matthew 1:18-25 (cf. Isaiah 7:14) Are you content with being regarded as a fool for Jesus Christ? This question gets to the heart of what it means to be a Bible-believing Christian while dwelling in the midst of an unbelieving world. From the earliest days of the church age, followers of Jesus […]
Thanks for reading this latest installment from my current project of reading (and blogging) through Augustine’s works. This book, known as On The Harmony of The Gospels, is an exposition of the 4 Gospels with a purpose of relating their differences and how the differences could be harmonized. It is actually one of his lengthier …

Earlier this week, I shared the first two parts of a sermon series from Alistair Begg from Romans 1. I recently found out there is a third part to that sermon series, which is the video below:
*Note: Parts 1 and Part 2 of this series What is truth? For the human race, few questions are more recurring—and few pursuits are more elusive—than identifying absolute truth in reality. Even the most intellectually astute philosophers seem no closer to satisfying this inquiry in the twenty-first century than during the era of the Pre-Socratics. […]

Although most discussions about the development of the canon focus on the patristic period (second century and later), there is much canonical gold yet to mine from the pages of the New Testament itself. Unfortunately, this step is often skipped.

Introduction In the last article, we considered the covenant made with Adam. In the next few articles, we will consider how Adam broke that covenant, in addition to reflecting on the effects it had upon the world and his natural offspring. Body Question 16 Q. 16. Did our first parents continue in the estate wherein […]
Overall, it was an excellent video that demonstrates that Roman Catholicism is a false religion. Guillaume Bignon’s infant baptism did nothing to him, as with millions of others – it does not regenerate or change the person into a new … Continue reading
*Note: Part 1 of this series can be accessed here. Christians have a history of being misunderstood in the public square. Within just three decades after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, a paradigm would be concretized for how the majority of believers in the West would experience life over the next two millennia.

The Gospel Coalition released it’s annual Book of the Year Awards today, and I was so pleased to see that my new book, Bully Pulpit, won Book of the Year for the ministry category.
The reviewers wrote: “Michael Kruger’s Bully Pulpit confron…
Introduction Generally speaking, God providentially preserves and governs all that He has made. In a particular way, however, God has providentially condescended and entered into covenantal relationships with human beings to establish and regulate kingdoms. The first covenantal arrangement between God and man is the subject we will consider in this installment. Question Q. 15. […]
Most Bible reading plans being with the first five books of the Bible, which are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Most Christians do well as they go through Genesis and Exodus but struggle as they read Leviticus. Many have looked a…
