In the beginning, God. This is not just the opening line of the Bible, it's the foundation of all existence, knowledge, and truth. Before the universe, before light and dark, there was God—absolute, sovereign, the epitome of reason and the source of all that is...
In a recent podcast episode with Saints Unscripted, a Mormon podcast, creator of the TV series The Chosen, Dallas Jenkins joined the show to explain how Evangelicals and Mormons worship the same Jesus. "We have a lot of theological differences," Jenkins said, "but we...
As a faithful steward of the gospel, it is the sacred duty of every pastor to combat the proliferation of false doctrine within the church. This is the urgent exhortation the Apostle Paul gave to his young protégé Timothy in the opening verses of the first epistle...
The doctrine of immanence holds that God is intimately and actively engaged in the world and the lives of human beings, rather than being detached and aloof. This doctrine posits that God is both transcendent and immanent, transcending human understanding yet present...
The passage in Deuteronomy 20:10-20 is often misunderstood and has been used against Christianity by non-Christians to suggest that God condoned horrific acts of violence such as rape. It is important to understand the context in which this passage was written and to...
Brandan Robertson has been in the headlines quite a bit in the last year or so as he is an openly gay, self-described “pastor” who opposed traditional, biblical theology while installing himself as a biblical scholar and theologian. Robertson is an advocate for sexual...
In Christian apologetics, we have a term that we use to describe how we ground our knowledge and reasoning in objective truth. That term is epistemology. Simply stated, epistemology is the study of how beliefs are justified. I don't intend to take a deep nosedive into...
There are many opinions when it comes to naming the names of those who teach falsely or shining a light on their false doctrine. The pastors and people protesting for more tolerance in the church today often stick to some of these common sentiments regarding...
"Now, the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of...
One of the most popular heresies not only of the professing Church but also in our modern culture is called "inclusivism." Inclusivism essentially teaches that God's mercy is so wide that it doesn't require knowing Jesus or having faith in Him for salvation; that all...
Recently, John MacArthur's church held a discernment conference called the Truth Matters conference. We recommend watching every video presentation available from that conference. However, one particular presentation of interest was Justin Peter's warning against a...
In case you missed it, a high-profile Southern Baptist leader has been implicated in allegations of sex abuse amid an investigation sanctioned by the Southern Baptist Convention. Johnny Hunt, former pastor of First Baptist Church in Woodstock, GA, former Southern...
Charlotte, NC evangelist, Sam Bethea, hit the streets in Washington D.C. this weekend to come face to face with a mob of pro-abortion protestors. Sam has been an iconic voice in Downtown Charlotte for several years and is well-known for his repeated mantra that can be...
Kat Kerr's weekly program with Elijah List's Steve Schultz should seriously just rebrand itself as a comedy show. At this point, anyone who still believes anything that this woman says should have their head checked. This woman, who says she has visited Heaven...
This publication has covered the saga at Hillsong for nearly a decade. The immorality, carnality, and false teachings that are so prevalent in the Hillsong empire have infected so much of the professing Church that its prints will likely leave a stain forever. Whether...
At present, the world and the church are in negotiations concerning the scandalous nature of a number of Christian doctrines. At stake, according to some in the churches, is the voice of the church where certain social and political issues are concerned. The church...
"Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord." --Jeremiah 23:23-24 With the Scriptures, Christians have always...
1. The faith that we are defending must begin with, and necessarily include, the triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - who, as God, condescends to create and redeem. 2. God's covenantal revelation is authoritative by virtue of what it is, and any...
"The truth of justification by faith alone is contrary to depraved human nature, which always supposes and insists that the way to be righteous is by exerting oneself to attain this status, since righteousness makes one worthy of salvation and of every blessing. The...

The Mormon organization claims that all men and women existed in prehistory in spiritual form: "We lived as spirit children of God in a premortal existence." Their Scripture says, "Even before they were born, they, with many others, received their first...
In this episode, I rant about the ever-shifting irrational views of the two least incoherent and untenable expressions of atheism: materialism and naturalism. Christians must shed their intellectual and spiritual laziness and stand up to the challenge and command...
