Do pretribulationists like MacArthur really take a haphazard view on the Mark of the Beast? Some time ago John MacArthur's response to a question about whether someone could accept the Mark of the Beast and repent caused a stir in prophecy circles. He believed one could repent. I wouldn't have given the same answer. … [Read more...]
Send those Refugees Back Home
Send them back to the lands they came from. They're better off there. I can already hear the righteous cries of indignation from Social Justice Warriors. Any public decree to send refugees back to the land of their origins is bound to set Twitter Land on fire for weeks. We'd hear long platitudes about love and … [Read more...]
On Christian Jihad and Peace Making
When we hear the word "jihad" I bet most of us are on the same page. We conjure up images of terrorists with guns, or someone with a bomb strapped around their torso, or even someone flying a plane into a building. These images of jihad are predominant in our minds because experience can be a powerful teacher. The … [Read more...]
Honoring the Reformation and Dispensationalism
Is it even possible that Dispensationalism and the Reformation can go hand in hand? Some would say no! They believe that dispensationalism has too many problems to be considered truly Reformed.

As I recall the article was all over Facebook, so I was miffed that mine was removed. My reasoned guess is that a … [Read more...]

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4 The phrase “god of this world” (or “god of this age”) indicates that Satan is the major influence on the ideals, opinions, goals, … [Read more...]
Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
When will Christ return? What are the signs of His premillennial coming? What's taking Him so long? When I first expressed interest in prophecy I was quickly reminded that people have been watching for Christ's return for centuries, and it hasn't happened yet. We've all the seen mocking cartoons of a man with long … [Read more...]
Remembering Nabeel Qureshi
On the 16th of September 2107, God called 34 year old Nabeel Qureshi home to glory after a long battle with stomach cancer. He leaves a grieving wife and daughter behind, as well as parents, a sister, and countless people whose lives he touched. I first came to know something of him through his book (Seeking Allah, … [Read more...]
What Drives Our Biblical Interpretation?
What drives our biblical interpretation? Should we interpret Scripture based on tradition or science? Most Reformed Christians would disagree. They'd likely even add that their theological position is biblical, anyway. If we believe that Scripture is God breathed, we should also agree that it must drive our theology … [Read more...]
