A Tool of the Devil Much More Harmful than the Satanic Bible
The concept that God gives righteousness to man upon the merits of Christ, and therefore does not demand righteousness from man as a condition of exercising proper faith in Christ, permeates the realm of modern evangelical Christianity. This concept is so prevalent that to so much as question it isRead More
The Bible Does Indeed Directly Address Homosexuality
Jude verse 7 (commenting on the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter 19): “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”Read More
Advantages in Singleness (the Bible Really Teaches This)
This message is not given to persuade married people to forsake their end of the marriage covenant. It is not even given to persuade people who are single to remain single. This message is rather given to adjust perspectives according to the truth of God’s Word. Singleness is not somethingRead More
The “As Long as You Believe in the Essentials” Delusion
There is a popular quote attributed to Augustine that goes: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” There are some who say that say this quote did not originate with Augustine (and I think it probably didn’t), but regardless of who it came from, it is aRead More
Sin! The Worst Deal Imaginable
Sin often seems like it would be good for us, even though it is truly not. This is seen with Eve as she was tempted by the serpent. The fruit of the tree which God had forbidden looked pleasant, looked like it would taste good, and seemed like it wouldRead More

Lessons in Inadequate Repentance from King Saul
1 Samuel 15:1-3: “Samuel also said unto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel,Read More
Can Man Actually Do Right in God’s Eyes? (Romans 3 and 7 Analyzed)
One key mark of those who preach and teach God’s Word faithfully is that they call people to forsake their sins to keep God’s commandments and to walk in truth. One sure mark of a false teacher is that they do not do so. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17: “ThinkRead More
Courtship: Sacred Cow of Conservative Evangelicals (2024 Version)
Courtship, as it is commonly practiced in many conservative evangelical circles, has no solid foundation in the Word of God, though it is practically considered in the same circles to be gospel truth. The manner in which it is commonly practiced in the same circles now is actually very improper. Read More
When Divorce is an Absolute Righteous Necessity (2024 Version)
No parent in their right mind would allow an older child or young adult offspring to remain in their home when they were so disobedient and misbehaving that they were an affront to the parent’s authority and a corrupting influence on any other children in the home. They can’t righteouslyRead More
