Grace and Legacy

Posted on June 25, 2019 by

One thing that seems evident to me is that we naturally hate grace more than just about anything else. This strange inclination is rather ironic since salvation is totally based on God’s grace. In order to keep people in line … Continue reading →

Clarifying New Covenant Confusion

Posted on June 19, 2019 by

I could spend weeks talking about the differences between the Old Covenant under Moses and the New Covenant we have in Christ. But there’s one significant difference that seems to be misunderstood by a lot of Christians which brings confusion … Continue reading →

The good news that brings great joy

Posted on December 7, 2018 by

The gospel has been defined as “the good news that brings great joy.” I think it would be good to ask, “What exactly is the good news that brings great joy?” As evangelical Christians we might be tempted to blurt … Continue reading →

Christendom is dead…long live Christianity!

Posted on August 28, 2018 by

We can rightly say that Christendom, which has dominated Western culture for over 1,600 years, is dead. Long live Christianity! I’ll explain what I mean in a moment. After long exchanges with atheists here about what Christianity is or isn’t, … Continue reading →

Are things getting better or worse?

Posted on January 3, 2017 by

Or should I say, are things getting worse…or better? As we enter another new year I would like us to ponder our assumptions about the time we’re living in.

Incarnation is about restoration

Posted on December 29, 2016 by

If we were to properly celebrate Christ’s saving work, we would start on Christmas day and end on Easter! For our salvation is not confined to Calvary, but begins with a birth in Bethlehem.

Posted on December 1, 2016 by

We’ve started looking at the most famous Bible verse of all—John 3:16. How God so loved every single human being on the planet that He gave what was most precious to Him—Jesus. And He did this so we could participate in the same fellowship … Continue reading →

We have the keys to the kingdom

Posted on June 14, 2016 by

Pondering the seemingly endless stream of horrific events like the recent Orlando shooting can certainly drive us into despair over what our culture has become. Are we, as a society, doomed to sink into some fear-driven apocalyptic morass of helpless victims, haters, and sociopaths?

I will rejoice in the simple Gospel

Posted on May 20, 2016 by

“I will rejoice in the simple Gospel.” This statement in the song, “Simple Gospel,” by United Pursuit is a life anthem for me. This is not a cheap gospel because God bankrupted heaven for it. He did the unthinkable by becoming a man and giving … Continue reading →

Why movies like “God’s Not Dead 2” won’t reach the world

Posted on April 29, 2016 by

First, my disclaimer. This is not a review of the movie, God’s Not Dead 2. While I’ve seen God’s Not Dead, I haven’t seen the sequel (both movies by Pure Flix Entertainment.) Having said that, here’s my take on movies like GND2 in one sentence. I don’t think we … Continue reading →
