We have some exciting new ministry possibilities opening up for us, both for producing more videos with better content, but especially for more of the public proclamation of the gospel.

Not only that, but as some of you know, I have to use a public Wi-Fi to get these videos uploaded. So, I was trying to think of ways to make the best use of the time when I'm sitting in Panera Bread (or wherever) waiting for these videos to upload. I decided to create a sign to make that time more evangelistic and fruitful. On day one with the sign, I had an incredible hour-and-a-half long conversation with a young lady who was in deep bondage to some extremely dark kinds of spiritual activity. It was a powerful encounter. She even broke down and wept in the middle of the restaurant more than once. She was gripped by the Word, and the conviction she was under was evident.

While this is primarily a ministry update, as always, we hope that it offers encouragement to other humble servants of Christ, who earnestly desire to glorify God through the spread of the gospel.

For all that God has done, and all that God may be pleased to do through us according to the abundance of his grace in the future...

Soli Deo Gloria!

The gospel of Christ is good news concerning certain events that were accomplished in history. Cultural Marxism contains its own theological historical narrative. So, what happens when "woke" social justice warrior Christians begin to adopt the narrative of cultural-marxism while still claiming to hold to the 5 Solas of the Protestant Reformation?

We will cut through the fog and provide solid ground to walk on in this short video. Our goal is to try to help promote gospel clarity in an age of mass confusion.

In this book review, I'll take a look at Douglas Wilson's new commentary on the book of Revelation, "When the Man Comes Around." I will discuss the strengths and weakness of this book, and how to choose if a book is going to be beneficial to you. I hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we'll offer a strong word of encouragement regarding the decline times that we live in by looking at Gideon’s army in Judges 6-7 and seeing how that relates to the advance of the gospel in John 6-7. We will see that dwindling numbers in the church are no reason for despair. In fact, they should even cause us to take heart, expecting that God is sanctifying his church and preparing her to do great evangelistic works in our own generation.

In this episode, we will talk about the inevitability of having a comprehensive systematic theology, and therefore, the necessity of having robust confessions of faith. We will also seek to bring clarity and balance to the whole area of Christian unity and divisions in the church.

We hope that you are blessed by this episode. Soli Deo Gloria!

For my second book review, I am looking at Dr. James White's definitive book on the doctrine of the Trinity, "The Forgotten Trinity."

This is a book that belongs on every Christian's bookshelf, and there is a revised and expanded edition of this book coming out in November.

I hope this short book review helps to kindle within you an even deeper desire to know your triune God and Savior.

This short audio is the first in a new series of book reviews!

In this first one, I wanted to review John Murray's classic, "Redemption Accomplished and Applied." Enjoy!

In this episode, we will see how the supreme reign of Christ is made manifest over and “against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

We will show documented evidence that, while many political leaders around the globe are pretending to be secular—as if their worldview was based on nothing but settled science—most of them are, in fact, blatant pagan idolators.

We will look at abortion as one specific example of this. There is a reason why abortion is treated like a religious sacrament, and Planned Parenthood is treated like the great high priests of a devout religion. In the Bible, we hear how children were offered to Molech, and we will see that many of our publicly elected officials are literally worshipers of Molech. No joke.

We will also see how pagan occultism and Baal worship marks many powerful leaders who are setting policy around the globe. There is a very real demonic dimension to so much that is going on in the world. Mankind is inherently religious, and the more people claim to be non-religious, the more this demonic element inevitability comes in to fill that void.

But then we will also see that there is hope! We will see how all of this is actually evidence that Christians are winning, and we will see how the gospel is specifically applied to such spiritual warfare throughout Scripture. Christ reigns supreme, and his glory will be manifest over this present darkness. Always remember: Post tenebras lux—After darkness, light!

You’ll probably want to sit down and buckle up for this episode!

This is a response to Thabiti Anyabwile's TGC article "Is There an Evangelical 'Social Justice Movement'?", published on September 3rd, 2019.

My prayer is that our sovereign Lord would be pleased to use this politically turbulent season in society and in the church to further sanctify his people in the truth. As we are further sanctified in the truth, may there be forgiveness, reconciliation, and more true unity within the visible church among all who hold to the true gospel, which is summarized in the 5 Solas of the Protestant Reformation. The bride of Christ has often had her doctrine refined through the furnace of affliction. May God be pleased to refine our understanding of Scripture once again, and may the bride of Christ be further beautified and enlarged through these present fiery trials so that, together as one body, we would shine brightly in the midst of the present darkness, bearing bold witness together to the supremacy of Jesus Christ—our Prophet, Priest, and King.

I wanted respond to Pastor Thabiti in particular because I saw his article as a potential turning point in this whole conversation. But for there to be any real progress in this debate, both sides will need to humble themselves and be willing to come to a better understanding of how the biblical standard of both law and gospel applies to the civil sphere.

May the Lord give us all grace as we seek both truth and unity in the midst of difficult times!

Here is the first of our new series of shorter, less edited, raw podcasts. This is a reflection on the connection between heaven and earth in Revelation chapter 5.
