  • The Truth About Spiritual Gifts

    The Truth About Spiritual Gifts

    Paul is writing to the local church at Corinth in order to admonish the local church toward unity through maturity in the faith, not only knowledge of Christ but wisdom—which is knowledge in love. He has admonished the local church to edify one another and those outside her proverbial walls rather than be puffed up…

  • What is the Gospel?

    What is the Gospel?

    On October 31, 1517, after an arduous inner conflict concerning works-based salvation, Martin Luther pinned his 95 Theses to the doors of Castle Church in Wittenberg, hoping to have a conversation about his questions within the context of Roman Catholicism. In short, The Roman Catholic Church (RCC) reacted by excommunicating Luther and eventually standing on…

    Women Praying and Prophesying in the Local Church Gathering

    Paul has been admonishing the Church at Corinth toward unity through maturity. He has expounded on Christian liberty. The earth and everything on it belong to the Lord. Therefore, we are to eat and drink and whatever we do to the glory of God, not self. We are not condemned by the consciences of others,…

  • Cheers! A Response to P31 Momma and The Church at Sunsites

    Cheers! A Response to P31 Momma and The Church at Sunsites

    Normally, I would respond to someone privately, even if their comments were as public as yours. Scripture teaches us to, if we see sin in a brother or sister that needs to be addressed, go to them in private to share our concerns. Instead, you posted some very public and hateful comments on the YouTube…

  • What and Why is Palm Sunday?

    What and Why is Palm Sunday?

    Palm Sunday is the day on which Christ entered triumphant into Jerusalem as the rightful king ascending to David’s throne forever. In many ways, Palm Sunday is as significant as Resurrection Sunday because, on Palm Sunday, Jesus announced the work that would be accomplished in the resurrection. God created the earth in one week and…

  • 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…

  • Loosed Locusts in Revelation

    Loosed Locusts in Revelation

    The trumpets are not blasted until all those who will be sealed are sealed (7:1-3). John’s trumpet imagery has so far alluded to Old Testament judgments on Egypt, Babylon, and Israel. John used the national symbol of Rome, an eagle, to declare three woes upon the earth with regard to the blasting of the final…

  • The Lady Named Church

    The Lady Named Church

    Who, what, when, where, and how? Those are the questions I want to ask concerning the identity and purpose of the church. Paul wrote 1 Corinthians in 53-54 AD. Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla planted the church at Corinth in the home of a man named Titius Justus (cf. Acts 18:1-11) in 50 or 51 AD.…

  • The Roman Eagle Over Jerusalem

    The Roman Eagle Over Jerusalem

    The trumpets represent God’s judgment according to His Law, the Torah. The nations will either be justified or justice will be carried out against them. With each symbolic trumpet blast, the wrath of God is unleashed against the nations. The work is perpetual, and will be finally revealed at the second-coming of Christ. The trumpets…

  • The Great Tribulation According to John

    The Great Tribulation According to John

    You’ve probably heard about the great tribulation. Here we are, standing before the throne of God. As we have been waiting for Jesus to break all seven seals so the document He holds can be opened, we have seen the current condition of the world. In this interlude, we have seen that God waits to…
