You've heard of Black Liberation Theology. Liberation theology can be traced back to Latin America in the early 60s. Latin America has always been a hotbed of oppressive working conditions for those who tried to make ends meet and Liberation Theology was invented as a...
I don't know the details. What I do know is this. It is undeniable and Crystal clear from Genesis to Revelation that when God's covenant people upon who he has put his name push him far enough, he will crush them back into submission by any means necessary. And I will...
A parable ( παραβολή ) is pretty much what one would naturally think it is. We don’t get any earth-shattering revelation from the Greek word. A parable is an illustration, metaphor, or simile comparing two things, usually one more familiar than the other, in order to...
I've written recently on some of Charity Gayle's music and the self-idolatry of her music and the lyrics that it contains including the extremely man-centered repeated mantra in one of her songs that states over and over in a celebratory manner "I am who I am because...
Being a Christian is by far the greatest blessing one could receive. Who can reject the glory of God, and the awesome love and forgiveness that Jesus has to offer? Yet, sadly, there are many out there who have convinced themselves that they are Christians, when,...
Today's worship landscape has been overtaken by modern, contemporary music as the hymns of the old days that contained good theology have been largely abandoned. In this article, I want to compare the psychology of the lyrics of two popular worship songs; one hymn...
“God spoke to me.” “God gave me a dream.” “The Holy Spirit led me.” All these represent claims that I hear just about every time I am around other Christians. Rare is the modern Christian that does not make these claims. Rarer still are those that dare to question...
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. --1 John 2:15 “God wants you to be successful, wealthy, and healthy, so give me your money to plant that seed.” That’s the mantra of the charismatic...

The Southern Baptist Convention's church-planting network, the North American Mission Board (NAMB) has released a video that should be insulting to practically every pastor in the denomination. The video released is of an Asian guy explaining that in order to reach...
In the clip below, a mother brings her young son, who appears to be about 3 or 4-years-old, up to the front of the church by the altar to announce that he is actually a "she." While the kid choked up and couldn't spit out the words, the mother finished the sentence...
This weekend, prominent Evangelical author, Dr. Everett Piper, published a column in the Washington Times, a right-leaning secular publication not to be confused with the far-left Washington Post, explaining how Critical Race Theory is incompatible with Christianity....
Why did Jesus say men need to be born again if they are born innocent with a will that is not impacted by Adam's fall and a nature that is merely inclined to sin and not actually sinful? It is one thing to say we are born with a nature inclined to sin and another to...
"You can never believe greater or better things than God can do for you. Even sin itself, which is the great (and really the only) evil; it is His enemy as much as yours: and you may be sure He would not have suffered its being in the world if He had not a power to...
