What are Biblical Covenantalism and Dispensationalism? Is dispensationalism a heresy? Can it be improved? What about Covenant Theology? Back around 2004-2005, I decided it was high time I got myself a book on Systematic Theology. I was a relatively new Christian and wanted to learn more about theology. So I asked … [Read more...]
Revive our Hearts and Nations
May the Lord revive our hearts and nations! Of course, this won’t occur until the Father sends his Son to take dominion. This is why we pray the Lord’s Prayer, “May your kingdom come; may your will be done on this earth as it is in heaven.” May revival come into our individual hearts and flow into the church at … [Read more...]
Two Sides and lies to Gay Christianity
There are at least two sides and lies to gay Christianity. These two systems are used by sympathizers to accept LGBTQ+ in the church. Perhaps the first self-styled-Christian I’d heard condoning homosexual practices was Bishop John Shelby Spong. While he was an apostate who I considered to be curious at the time, in … [Read more...]
A Demonic Assault on Israel
On October 2023, Hamas conducted a demonic assault on Israel. The perpetrators were described by an IDF official as “savage animals.” Yet animal predators generally only kill to survive; they don’t take particular delight in the kind of bloodlust the world witnessed. I’m not going to catalogue these; everyone knows … [Read more...]

The Madness of Sinners and a Gracious God
The Madness of Sinners and a Gracious God is one of life's great paradoxes. "The Madness of Sinners" is the title of chapter 8 of George Swinnock's book The Blessed and Boundless God. On the Madness of Sinners, Swinnock writes: If God is incomparable, sinners who dare to offend Him to His face must be … [Read more...]
The Weight of the World and Christ’s Coming
A few years ago I worked in a corporate environment. I was surrounded by account managers, salespeople and technical engineers who were constantly in and out of the office. They could be anywhere at any time, so I hardly ever paid much attention to what they were doing. I didn't report to them and we had our own tasks … [Read more...]
On Idolizing Scripture
Friends once referred me to a popular blogger-writer. He was someone who thought outside the box and even wrote a book on the rapture based on his innovative perspectives. I found some of his material intriguing (though unconvincing) at the time. More recently I discovered he'd plunged into "New Exodus" Replacement … [Read more...]
A Never Ending Gladness in God
A never ending gladness in God: Part of the title of this post is taken from chapter forty-five in John Piper's book, "Providence."
