  • Your Religion Can’t Get You to Heaven

    Your Religion Can’t Get You to Heaven

    What if I told you that your religion, even if you are sincere, can never get you to Heaven? All human religion seems to be very much the same. If you can, imagine looking at your religion from the outside. There are people claiming to know the way to heaven and give strict rules to…

  • The Sovereignty of God, Trump, and the IRGC

    The Sovereignty of God, Trump, and the IRGC

    The way we as Christians think through the wars of this world is interesting to me. There are a great many things to be said about the moral justification (or not) of actions taken by world leaders against other world leaders and nations. There are many things to be said about how some people conduct…

  • Another Holy War

    Another Holy War

    I hate war. I don’t know all the facts, and I have a feeling much of the information is being withheld for security reasons. Of course, we have all the social media experts providing their less than two-cents worth. Government officials are providing contradictory information, and we are all seeing one version of the war…

  • Did God Know Adam Would Fall? Why Would He Let That Happen?

    Did God Know Adam Would Fall? Why Would He Let That Happen?

    Knowledge itself is a pretty interesting topic. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even possible to know anything at all. I’m part of a Facebook group in which people debate issues related to God’s existence, creation ex theos, and Darwinian evolution. In truth, there’s not much debating actually going on–just people posting pictures that don’t actually…

  • Blessing Abraham

    Blessing Abraham

    In the Sunday sermon at Alex Southern Baptist Chapel, I made brief mention about how Jeremiah’s prophecy applied to us even though Israel was the original audience. I pointed out that in Isaiah 19, God foretold that He will consider both Egypt and Assyria as His blessed people as equals to the nation of Israel.…

  • The Scourge of Calvinism: Pt. 1 The Unnecessary Conflict

    The Scourge of Calvinism: Pt. 1 The Unnecessary Conflict

    What is Calvinism, and why should we be worried?  I want to take a few weeks and talk about the doctrines of grace because I have been asked to. I very often hear people looking for ways to disprove Calvinism categorically. When people try to disprove Calvinism, I normally will ask five questions. 1. Do…

  • Juneteenth and the Gospel

    Juneteenth and the Gospel

    The news of Republican, or National Union, Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation reached Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 “the year of our Lord” and has been annually celebrated since. Juneteenth stands as a beacon to equality and freedom in the United States and has recently been designated a federal holiday. Juneteenth is inherently conservative, Christian,…

  • To Pray or Prey: 2021 Southern Baptist Convention

    To Pray or Prey: 2021 Southern Baptist Convention

    We walked into the Nashville Music City Center to register for the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention and were met at one intersection by a group all wearing yellow t-shirts and handing out newspaper style reports. At first, I thought they were trolls, present and looking for a fight. After reading their material, I realized that…

  • What is Complementarianism?

    What is Complementarianism?

    Beth Moore’s recent exit from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) over issues related to complementarianism has caused quite a few to ask what complementarianism is. I want to thank Mrs. Moore for making complementarianism a matter of interest. Moore’s exit from the SBC was unfortunate and seems to have mostly resulted from her own disdain…

    11:03

    By now, you’ve probably already decided who you are going to vote for in this year’s election. You probably already knew four years ago. Such is the nature of American politics—such is the nature of the New Americana, the narcissism. Our desire to self-identify, to raise up some as more important than others, and to…
