“In this world, therefore, the dominion of good men is profitable, not so much for themselves as for human affairs. But the dominion of bad men is hurtful chiefly to themselves who rule, for they destroy their own souls by greater license in wickedness; while those who are put under them in service are not hurt except by their own […]
In the future it will be wise to speak…well, with wisdom, in what is posted initially in a public setting. It seems bots are often only interested in certain words and phrases at the start of things. So my first paragraph might seem somewhat disconnected. You’ll get the hang of it. So Alaric was a Visigoth leader who led his […]

2020 is over and for many, they are thankful. However, that does not mean 2021 will be any easier. In fact, it might get even harder. To be realistic, we are never promised an easy ride during our sojourning on planet Earth. Don’t get me wro…

Looking back on 2020, it seemed like all news was bad news. We moved from impeachment to the coronavirus to the killing of George Floyd to the presidential election to multiple church leadership scandals and back to the coronavirus again.

Want to be ready to survive the coming global socialist revolution? Oh, I don’t mean survive literally—that is in God’s hands. I mean survive spiritually, with a strong heart, sound convictions, and most importantly, a clear conscience? The fast rising “soft totalitarianism” we are facing uses shame as its greatest weapon. Shame on you for holding those ideas! Shame on […]
Most folks know A.W. Pink for his book on the Sovereignty of God. You may have had a “cage stage” Calvinist slap you upside the head with a copy. I still remember the first time I read it as well. It is definitely a classic, well worth the time to ponder. I was thinking about the events of Christmas. I […]

Keach was staunchly opposed to the teaching that sincere obedience (or […]

In one of the earliest known writings, we see yet more evidence that the practice of baptism was always by immersion as the normative practice of the Church. I always find it humorous (and by humorous, I mean ludicrous) when Presbyterians attempt to eisegete the Scripture by saying that when Jesus was said to have …

The Importance of Trinitarian Orthodoxy for True Worship The doctrine of the Trinity is the most important doctrine of the Christian faith because it tells us who the God is that we worship.[1] In the progressive unfolding of redemptive history, God has disclosed Himself to be one being (ousia) who exists in three co-equal, co-essential and […]
