“May you never waste your days trying to figure out blood moons, marks of the beast, or the identity of the Antichrist. May you, instead, spend your ever-waking moments serving the King who brought this end-time Kingdom to the world. You belong to His Kingdom as a soldier of Christ because of Christ and Christ alone. Now, use your fleeting days to serve and praise Him! “

“Our society has a major problem committing to anything, so it is unsurprising that American Christians have trouble committing to the local church. This post looks at the scriptural and practical necessity of church membership so we can restore it to its rightful place of prominence in the American church.”

“ If you are soft on these movements, you are complicit with the war crimes of demons, and you are a reviler of the humanity you claim to love. Our job is to love the sinner enough to call them to repentance. And to hate the movements that accost them.”

“Faith is a key theme wove throughout the Bible’s historical narratives. Its abundance gives us examples to emulate while its lack provides ominous warnings to avoid. One example of the former is Israel’s victory at Jericho, while one example of the latter is their subsequent defeat at Ai. The situation at Ai, and the sin…”

“If you had to boil down all the wisdom necessary to help a young leader to lead well, what would you say? Proverbs 31:1-9 gives the answer to that question in the form of an oracle to a young king by his wise mother written three thousand years ago. Modern leaders in all spheres would…”

Your eschatology matters. It will not only affect your view of the end times, but how you view culture and how you will engage in it.

“The United States has a men’s mental health crisis, with four times as many men committing suicide as women. Men don’t seek help when struggling with things like depression and anxiety at least in part because therapy is just as alienating to men as the rest of our feminized society. Instead, this post shows how…”

“And while this martyrdom of Stephen in Jerusalem kickstarted one of the worst periods of persecution and martyrdom the church has ever seen, the standing Christ reminds us that evil did not win, Christ's Church was not be defeated, and that we must march on in our battles today, knowing that we are gaining ground. Glory hallelujah!”

According to Jesus, if you are not explicitly for Him, then you are actually against Him! You will either give all of your life in the service of your King, or you will be using your energies to perpetrate insurrections or rebellions.

Today, as we live in a similar time of heresy and spiritual decline, let us remember that the Protestant Reformation is not over. While Luther, Calvin, Knox, and others did much to reform the Church, there is always a need for Reformation in every generation!

“Like depression, anxiety is a pervasive problem in both our society and our churches, so we need to address it biblically. This post addresses anxiety from Scripture.”

How large will Jesus’ earthly Kingdom be? Will it always remain a remnant and a minority among the peoples of earth? Or will it grow? And if it grows, how much so? These are the questions we will explore today.

“once we understand this phrase rightly, we can no longer hold to a futurist interpretation of this passage but will instead see how various eschatological passages have already found their completion in the first century.”

“Last time we talked about the downfall of Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell, and Ravi Zacharias. Were they merely bad apples or do they indicate a much larger problem? This post examines that question then defines successful pastoral ministry in God’s terms rather than human terms.”

On October 17th, 107 AD, Ignatius of Antioch was martyred for his unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. May we learn from his example and live with courage in our own hostile age

"As you think about this current war, pray for them. Pray that this would be the thing that causes them to repent. And, do not forget to pray for the Christians in Palestine. As Christians, we have more in common with a Palestinian Christian than a secular Jew..."

“I recently addressed the topic of church conflict, including how to address situations where pastors are in error, the need for pastors like all leaders to set the example, and what faithfully upholding the pastoral office looks like. This post expands on that by looking at the downfall of some high-profile Christian leaders in recent…”

On October 6th, 1536, 487 years ago, a lion hearted man of God, named William Tyndale, was burned at the stake! His crime…

“He must reign until all brothels are closed and marriage is esteemed. He must reign until the media stops peddling lies and division and would be willing to end each broadcast with The Lord’s Prayer or the Apostle’s Creed. He must reign until there are no ghettos in Chicago, there is no swamp in Washington, and there is no depravity in Hollywood. He must reign until child is catechized and every family on earth comes under His Lordship and covenant blessings.”

“Many people don’t have a full understanding of what the job of the pastor entails–even many pastors. This post looks more holistically at the high and noble pastoral calling using 1 Peter 5 and Richard Baxter’s book “The Reformed Pastor.”
