Introduction Not long ago, I wrote the first part of this mini-series. In it, I defined what both a confession of faith and catechism is: A confession is a statement of what a group believes the Bible teaches on various topics in a succinct, orderly, and comprehensive manner. A catechism is a series of questions […]
We will do a special edition of The Dividing Line on Monday at 4pm EDT to respond to this statement from Jimmy Akin. Rome’s apologists have lived for decades on attacking sola scriptura. Pope Francis shines a light they cannot diminish on their systemic failure. But I would like to also look at some comments from “Pastor” Dr. Raphael Warnock […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-yxxjs-f105ac Creston grew up with a family that loved the person of Christ but he was hostile towards the gospel at a young age after seeing professing believers living in willful sin. While attending a church function, he came to the knowledge that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but […]
Introduction Dispensational theology is a nineteenth-century aberration away from historic, orthodox, Biblical Christianity. Undoubtedly, an introductory statement of this nature has already polarized some readers. Is this simply a pejorative statement made by an overzealous refugee of Dispensationalism? After all, on what basis can a 25-year-old make such a dogmatic claim about Dispensationalists, especially […]
Oh King of all the nations! You have blessed the United States of America for more than two centuries. Through wars and strife You have honored the recognition contained in our founding charter that mankind has certain inalienable rights. Even when we did not consistently apply those truths, You honored Your truth, and used this nation to defeat great evil […]

Few would doubt that the last twenty years has seen a remarkable surge of interest in Reformed Theology. So much so, that many younger evangelicals, as opposed to prior generations, would now be comfortable identifying themselves as reformed (in some w…
Today is Election Day in the United States, which to some, it might be the most critical election in recent history. There have been record turnouts for early voting and there might one for today as people go to the polls. The one election that everyon…

Nathan Busenitz:In the contemporary age of ecumenism and pluralism, many in broader Christendom would suggest the issues at stake during Reformation are no longer relevant. Nothing could be further from the truth. As noted above, the Reformation flowed…

There was a time, not long ago, when a debate was a big deal. Much time and effort went into arranging it, preparing for it, setting up, etc. Of course, those doing the debates, if they were serious minded people with long-range goals, would spend hours and hours and hours preparing, studying, reading, listening. I can honestly say that for […]

With all the discussion on whether or not obey the government, Christians need to know what Scripture says about this issue and when it is appropriate to commit Civil Disobedience. Sam Waldron addressed in a 3-part sermon series at his church, Grace Re…
John Piper’s article demonstrates that even godly men can fall into the same pit of error: this isn’t about either Trump or Biden, both of whom are horribly flawed candidates. This is about a Marxist revolution and whether you will even *get* to vote in 2024. The reality I wish he understood is seen not in Trump’s arrogance or Biden’s […]

Christ underwent the punishment which, in the justice or judgment of God, was due to sin. That the justice of God did require that sin should be punished with a meet and due recompense of reward, we have proved already, and shall afterwards further con…
For those who love to talk about theology, a good head-scratching question can really be fun. It allows us to stay up late in deep conversations with our friends over the mysteries of God and his Word.

Introduction “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord” (Jeremiah 31:31 ESV). The Hebrew behind this phrase is found fourteen times in the book of Jeremiah. The first four tell of the coming judgment that Yahweh will bring upon Judah for their rebellion (7:32; 9:24; 16:14; 19:6). The next six times tell of Yahweh’s restoration […]
