The entire purpose of the gospel is to glorify God in saving sinners from His wrath, to demonstrate His mercy and kindness juxtaposed against a backdrop of what would righteously be eternal damnation of all of our souls. But in God's wisdom, kindness, and grace, He...

The Word of God is like a vast ocean, deep and unfathomable, yet crystal clear and invigorating. It is the means by which we guard our hearts—the wellspring of life—quenching the thirst of the soul and nourishing the mind. For the man, born of water and of spirit, to...
The twisting of Scripture for personal gain is nothing new, but I have observed a rapidly growing and disturbing trend among politicians who claim to be Christians and religious leaders who support them, who attempt to reason that certain passages of Scripture hold...

Let us imagine a man, a pastor, who forsakes the traditional trappings of his calling, forgoing the pulpit for a mere stool. He sits, not with the regal bearing of a man called by God to deliver his word, but with the slouching posture of a man worn down by the...
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...
It is a criminal offense, high treason, against a Holy and righteous God that the liberal Protestant denominations have allowed drag queens to infiltrate their churches and defile their sanctuaries. These clowns, who flaunt deviant and sinful lifestyles for cash and...
The Enneagram, which is touted as a way–apart from the Scriptures–to gain insight into one’s “true self,” restoring balance and developing more desirable qualities to one’s personality and reaching a state of spiritual “freedom,” is a system of personality typing and...

I recently did a podcast about love and tyranny. In that podcast, I talked about how love is being used as a cloak for tyranny. I focused on how some Christians are employing the argument that if you won’t wear a COVID mask, then you are not loving your neighbor. This...
