“The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Sir Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity. God gave us gravity . . . Newton did not create gravity but recognized it.” J. I. Packer, God has … Continue reading
I agree with Ryan at needGod.net and his 10 reasons not to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. Ryan does a good job of backing up his reasons with quotes from Scripture and the Eastern Orthodoxy’s own sources. I thought he was … Continue reading
Someone asked about 2 Timothy 3:16-17, and the Roman Catholic argument that it only includes the OT, as v. 15 is clearly about the OT sacred Scriptures that Timothy learned as a child. John Henry Newman also uses this argument … Continue reading
Over the years, there has been a resurgence of books, sermons, and even lectures from Charles Spurgeon that have been published for the church today. Many of his books are available for free on Kindle. His lectures can be found in bookstores. His sermo…
Shamoun claims that the “canon argument” is the achilles heel of Protestantism. No it is not. Shamoun needs to read Michael Kruger’s two books on the canon. “Canon Revisited” and “The Question of Canon”. See other articles I have written … Continue reading
Many people don’t like Reformed Theology or Calvinism, the teaching about God’s Sovereignty- that God has ordained (decided beforehand) to allow evil to enter the world and for evil and sin and suffering to take place. They don’t like Predestination … Continue reading
Good analysis of church history in relationship to the doctrine of justification by faith alone. I am impressed with this guy’s (says his name is Miles) channel, “Canon and Creed” about “Reformed Catholicism” (Reformed Catholicity – universal Christianity that is … Continue reading
“Papalism” or “Sola Ecclesia” (The Roman Church has the final ultimate say on everything.) The Eastern Orthodox have their version of “Sola Ecclesia” also – (Their own Church Councils have the final say, even after the first 7 and their … Continue reading

What is Saving Faith? Seems like a simple question yet for some Christians it tends to be more confusing which is sad. Some would say saving faith is trusting in Christ alone to save you from your sins. Others would say trust in Christ and do other thi…
God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm.[1] (William Cowper) Have you ever found yourself driving in a storm? If the storm is quite bad, you can lose all sense of direction and security. Sometimes, you do not know what to […]

Here, perhaps, it may be said by that presumption of man, which is ignorant of the righteousness of God, and wishes to establish one of its own, that the apostle quite properly said, “For by the law shall no man … Continue reading
My, how time flys! I meant to write a response to this along time ago, but have not found the time to be organized until now. One can see my comments in the You Tube com box and Dr. Ortlund’s … Continue reading
Though we should love all things that exist, we ought not love all things equally. Rather, we ought to love things in accordance with their nature. How great is a thing? That is precisely how much you ought to love it.

One of the solas of the reformation is sola fide which means that we are saved by faith alone. We are not saved by works. The Bible tells us:For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works…

Originally written in November of 2011 at Beggar’s All. Paul Williams, a British convert to Islam, for years has critiqued the Bible and the Christian faith. A lot of his blog posts are no longer available, as he has changed … Continue reading
The book of Ruth shows that even amid a dark period of unthinkable wickedness and rebellion, God is still working to accomplish His purpose of redemption. This book is also a reminder that even when it seems an entire nation has rejected the Lord, His faithful remnant remains. With everything we face in our world […]

Emotions are part of life. They come and go. We have feelings of gladness when things go our way. We have feelings of sadness when things go wrong. We have feelings of fear when we are certain of things.Many in the Christian life like to incorporate fa…
Displaying His Imprint As Jesus Christ walked the earth as God incarnate, He also taught disciples to follow Him by keeping His commandments and glorifying God through service. The New Testament defines a disciple as a “learner, indicating thought accompanied by endeavor.”[1] To be a biblical disciple goes beyond being a pupil in a classroom, studying […]

All creation declares the glory of God. Part of that glory is manifested in the ways that He designed specific creatures to benefit His highest creation, mankind. This was driven home to me again recently when preaching through the creation account in Genesis 1. I was struck by the fact that before God created man, […]

In the crucible of perilous seasons, where flames of doubt, fear, and lawlessness seem to portend our doom, godly pastors must stand as steadfast beacons of faith, their lives and teaching a testament to trust in the face of menacing times.
