The Human Nature of Christ: “Not My Will But Yours Be Done”

Op-Ed: No, Witchcraft and Christianity are NOT Compatible
Do not be fooled, and do not let the scripture-twisting serpentine tongues of those who push the lie that Christianity and witchcraft can be syncretized together fool you. Witchcraft is a sin, as we will show, and along with all sin, will send you straight to hell, and true faith in Christ for your salvation is the only solution. It is not Biblical to add witchcraft to Christianity or to add Christ to witchcraft and call yourself a Christian. It doesn’t work that way.

Despite What Steven Furtick Thinks, the Bible Isn’t About You
For those of us who take the Christian faith seriously, we understand that the Bible is not just a collection of stories and wisdom, but the actual, revealed word of God. And contrary to what popular prosperity "pastor" Steven Furtick may believe, the Bible is not...
Despite What Andy Stanley Says, the Doctrine of Biblical Inerrancy is Important
As Christians, we believe that the Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of God. This means that the Bible is free from error and is completely true and trustworthy in all that it teaches. The doctrine of inerrancy is essential to the Christian faith because it affirms...
The Doctrine of the Exclusivity of Christ: Lovingly Confronting False Religions that Lead to Hell

Notitia, Assensus, and Fiducia: The Nature of Saving Faith
It is no secret that the great deconstruction of evangelical Christianity has been underway for some time now. It’s hard to say when this deconstruction began or who is mostly responsible for initiating the project but at the end of the day, that really isn’t terribly...
How to Properly Understand Christian Unity
I often hear church people say that we need to have more "unity in the church." Unity, what does that even mean? Well, it depends on who you ask. There is no question that the Bible teaches us that Christians are to be united, without divisions among us (1 Cor. 1:10),...
What is the Doctrine of Original Sin and Why is it Important?

Leighton Flowers Says Southern Baptists Were Wrong to Exclude Open Theists
Open theism is a false teaching that attempts to explain God's foreknowledge in relation to man's free will. Open theism essentially teaches that God can't actually know everything, for if He did, then man couldn't truly be free. Open theism denies the essential...
Did Jesus Sow Discord?

On Spiritual Partnerships With Apostates: Where We Draw the Line Biblically
There is so much in this world masquerading as "Christianity" and this blog endeavors to equip believers to be able to discern what is good from what is evil. In fact, in the like-mindedness of Charles Spurgeon, it's more important to be able to discern what's right...
The Mormon Teaching of “Celestial Marriage”
In Matthew 22:23-33, the scriptures report a confrontation between Jesus and the Sadducees, the theological liberals of that day. They were trying to trick Him, so they described a woman who had married a succession of brothers, each of whom died without issue. In the...
The Conscience: Which Way Shall It Lead?
An important theme in the New Testament is the role that conscience plays in human lives. We immediately think of its role in the life of the believer, but we should never forget that the unbeliever has a conscience, too, though he deals with it in a very different...
