Introduction The last question we answered told us how we know there is a God. We know there is a God because the light of nature in man and the works of God plainly declare there is a God, but His Word and Spirit only do it fully and effectually for the salvation of sinners. […]
Introduction Who is the first and greatest of beings? God is the first and greatest of beings. Should everyone believe there is a God? Everyone should believe there is a God, and it is their great sin and folly who do not. The questions and answers of the catechism are interrelated and build off of […]
Workers for God must tell the gospel and keep to the gospel. You must continually dwell upon the real truth, as it is in God’s Word, for nothing but this will win souls. Now, in order to do this, workers for Christ must know God’s truth. We must know i…
See part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4. As we draw this series to a conclusion, we will consider the pastoral and contemporary relevance for properly understanding the origins, development, and trustworthiness of the New Testament canon.[1] The objective of this series was to demonstrate that the New Testament canon was a concept firmly entrenched in […]

Furthermore, relevant […]

When people come to the Bible, they first want to know what it is all about. Mature Christians who have read their Bibles can tell you it is about God’s redemption of His people through the finished work of Christ. However, there are still those who wa…

On what basis can the New Testament be trusted as the authoritative word of God (2 Pet. 1:2-3)?[1] After all, wasn’t it simply constructed by the most powerful political and religious leaders of the early fourth century?[2] How can we actually know that the New Testament encapsulates all the writings that God has desired for […]
This message is from the 2011 Ligonier National Conference:
As he stood before Pontius Pilate, Jesus of Nazareth faced a question which has echoed throughout the centuries: “What is truth?” (John 18:38). That moment in history, recorded by John … More

Sermons should be full of the Bible, sweetened, strengthened, and sanctified with Bible essence. Outgrowths of Scripture are the kinds of sermons people need to hear. If they do not love to hear them, this is all the more reason why we should preach Sc…
Christians should never allow anything other than God and the Bible to be our ultimate authority on what is true. God’s Word says that all people are sinners, capable of great evil—not just the Japanese, or Jews, or white men. It also says all people a…
The world’s most famous Bible passage happens to be John 3:16, which says:For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (LSB).For those who do not believe in God’s s…
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…
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 …
For most Americans, they have probably went to a church that prayed for their country. There is nothing wrong to pray for the nation you live, but we, in the United States, have a tendency to grab one verse out of the Bible and claim it as if we were W…
Recently, John MacArthur read Psalm 37 in the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) at his church.
If you follow me on social media, you know I have been posted passages from the upcoming Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) which is the work of The Master’s Seminary and University. This translation is an update of New American Standard Bible (NASB) 1995 edi…
One thing that is always encouraged at church especially if you are a new believer is to read your Bible. Most churches provide Bible reading plans and you can also get many great plans online. Most of them are slow paced while others are very fast pac…
Christianity is true insofar that the Holy Bible is God’s self-revelation to mankind.[1] The entirety of the Christian faith and its corresponding worldview hinges upon the Bible being the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God (2 Cor. 2:17; 4:2). At least two frightening consequences would result from the Bible simply being another book from […]
(You can find the following Twitter thread from Rhyne Putman here or here.) A few traits characterize the theologians, pastors, and students I know who have walked away from their faith. They “loved human praise more than praise from God” (John 12:43). They often seemed more concerned about being open-minded than having their minds renewed […]

Why am I a Southern Baptist? I was born this way. I’m also a Baptist by conviction. And I’m a Southern Baptist because I’m a sucker for the Bible and missions. The Bible and missions. The Bible and missions. The Bible and missions. When I think about the Southern Baptist Convention, everything always comes back […]

THE UNIVERSAL CHARGE FOR CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS During his pastoral tenure at the church in Ephesus, Timothy was confronted with a geographical environment that featured many opponents of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.[1] Amidst the surrounding area of the Ephesian church plant, was a cesspool of religious heresies being postulated by those who had once identified […]
The distinctiveness of the New Covenant 31:33. “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord” (ESV). What follows is the reasons why the new covenant may be described as new and different. Before delving into these details, it is worth noticing that “[t]he […]
Part 1 can be found here. The Promise of the New Covenant 31:31. “Behold the days are coming” (ESV). This phrase, as I showed above, is used frequently by Jeremiah. It precedes a promise with certain results grounded in Yahweh’s sovereign rule over everything. Sometimes it precedes a promise of the judgment upon Yahweh’s people. […]
Devotion During my childhood, my younger brother and I attended Little Country Daycare in Haslet, Texas. It was at that daycare center where I first began to learn how to pray. To this day, I can still vividly remember the two types of prayers that the Little Country staff taught us to recite on a […]
