The Synagogue Shooter’s Reformed Theology – A Recipe for Disaster?

Last updated on: May 3, 2019 at 9:06 am By Grayson Gilbert

No shortage of talking points has been spurred by Julie Zauzmer in her Washington Post article on the recent synagogue shooting in Poway, California. Several internet commentators have taken this incident to the front lines of the racial reconciliation debate amongst Evangelicals, claiming Earnest’s manifesto is the natural result of his Reformed roots. The reason being (according to some): Reformed Christians have not done enough to condemn the evils of white supremacy in the church and broader American culture. The... Read more

Jeremiah 29:11 Isn’t About You

Last updated on: April 12, 2019 at 10:24 am By Jack Lee

Unless you’re time traveling with Doctor Who or Sam Beckett into Israel’s Babylonian exile, hearing someone proclaim Jeremiah 29:11 over their life and future should give you just pause to utter, in true Quantum Leap fashion, “Oh, boy.” While a wonderful verse of promise and hope, it is given within a very specific context often ignored by modern Christians. The text has nothing to do with how God plans to use your overpriced liberal arts degree to prosper you and... Read more

Who was Jesus? a Modern Summary of an Ancient Story

Last updated on: April 11, 2019 at 11:44 am By Jack Lee

The extraordinary assertions made by Jesus, as written in the bible, about Himself and His kingdom, are so prodigious and formidable they command a thoughtful evaluation from even the most rigid skeptics. Read more

A Brief Case for Amillennialism

Last updated on: April 10, 2019 at 10:49 pm By Taylor Drummond

Revelation 20:1-6 is perhaps one of the most contested passages in all of Scripture. It is certainly the most debated in the book of Revelation. Interpretations of Revelation 20:1-6 can be categorized into three main positions: premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism. The debate between these positions focuses on three exegetical issues: 1) Recapitulation and the relative time frame of Revelation 20:1-6 to what precedes it, 2) The nature of the binding of Satan, and 3) The nature of the first resurrection....

Fathers, Don’t Let Netflix Raise Your Children

Last updated on: March 11, 2019 at 4:55 pm By Guest Contributor

I’m ready to admit what needs to be admitted by a majority of fathers out there. I’m guilty—guilty of letting the world raise my kids. I’m guilty of lazily passing the buck on discipling my two daughters while they develop worldviews from Netflix & YouTube. I’ve allowed the tablets and phones to become full-time babysitters. Hoax or not, the recent Momo Challenge embedded in YouTube videos should be enough for parents to say, “enough is enough” — especially for fathers. I... Read more

Francis Chan – Please Stop Hanging Out with Charlatans

Last updated on: March 8, 2019 at 3:47 pm By Grayson Gilbert

In recent weeks, I’ve been alarmed to see Francis Chan step out in Ecumenism with those who have no other title than “wolf”. Two rather irenic photos have been shared lately, showing Francis Chan embracing heretical teachers Todd White and Benny Hinn. Both men are known to promote the prosperity gospel, among several other notable errors condemned by the early church. It isn’t a point of knowing if their doctrinal well is poisoned, but why Francis Chan is partnering with these... Read more

The Top 15 Absolute Best Christian Podcasts for 2019

Last updated on: February 21, 2020 at 4:44 pm By Jack Lee

It’s been almost 2 years since I listed out my definitive Top 10 Christian Podcasts and the landscape of Christian Podcasts has changed. Because podcasting remains an effective, relevant, and low barrier of entry to promote ideas, it's almost impossible to keep up with new podcasts. Yet, the great ones remain a valuable asset to assist Christian edification. An update to our 2017 list is needed. Read more

God Ordains Whatsoever Comes to Pass, Including Your Suffering

Last updated on: February 26, 2019 at 1:59 pm By Grayson Gilbert

A while back, I wrote a post titled: God’s Will For Your Life Is That You Would Suffer. The heart of the piece dealt with three aspects of the Will of God and built a theology showing that indeed, God does will that we would suffer. These aforementioned aspects included God’s Decretive Will (His decreed or sovereign will), His Preceptive Will (His revealed will in the Scriptures), and God’s Permissive Will (His allowance of evil, and so forth). In the piece... Read more

What’s Wrong with Infanticide?

Last updated on: February 14, 2019 at 5:52 pm By Taylor Drummond

In this article, I will briefly summarize their arguments to show why infanticide is consistent with the arguments made for abortion, and then provide a critique from a Christian worldview which demonstrates the problems with the arguments for abortion and infanticide. Read more

Molech, The Guardian [Fallen] Angel of Pro-Abortionists

Last updated on: January 22, 2020 at 2:34 pm By Grayson Gilbert

The advent of social media has brought us much to be indebted for. Never before have we been so swiftly and easily able to see the heart condition of a person, whether they hide behind a pseudonym or have the stones enough to just come right out with their given name. In that same sense, never before have we been able to witness the utter hypocrisy of their chronological snobbery. Never before have we been able to readily see the... Read more
