Sovereign Scripture
Have you ever considered Scripture was not given to us apart from the stories, actions, decisions, words, thoughts, and characteristics of real people? More importantly, Scripture is given to us through God’s dealings through and with these people? If God’s Word is eternal, was Scripture written to merely record history or was it written to […]
Christopher Dorner Burned Alive, Eternally Burning?
February 13, 2013
I have been contemplating how Christopher Dorner, if it is true that he died, experienced his last moments on earth. If he was burned alive as headlines suggest, how terrible it would have been for him to suffer the torments of a furnace of fire. I don’t know what it feels like to be trapped […]
Oh Sinner, Do Not Flatter Yourself That There Is No Hell
February 12, 2013
Our postmodern culture posits there is no right, no wrong, and no ultimate justice. It’s the kind of thing serial killers live for. That is, if there is no God, then there is no Law Giver, and therefore laws are man-contrived for beings who are not beings but rather molecules in motion derived from the […]
What the Gospel Is, and What It Is Not
January 25, 2013
In the following sermon, Voddie Baucham contrasts the modern gospel, which is no gospel at all, to the true Gospel that alone is the power of God unto salvation for all who believe (Romans 1:16). While the modern gospel is about man and what God can do for him, the true Gospel is about God […]
On Image-Bearers of God

Comments Off on On Image-Bearers of God
God created man in His own image (Genesis 1:26-27, 5:1, 9:6). Man defiled the image of God in man in which he was created (Genesis 3; Romans 5). God became man through the eternal Son, who is the image of God, perfectly reflecting the image of God (John 1:14; Philippians 2:7; Colossians 1:15-17; Matthew 5:17-18; […]
Holiness vs. the “Holiness Movement”
January 2, 2013
I was recently asked about the “holiness movement” and whether I “believe that while you’re set free from the bondage and dominion of sin, do you now claim to walk perfectly uprightly, or, are you still grappling with your sin nature (flesh patterns) in a fallen world?” Here is my answer that might be helpful […]

Jesus Is Lord of Unbelievers
December 10, 2012
From chapter 2 of The Gospel Is for Christians (pg. 33-34), Mitchell Chase writes, Sinners who believe in Jesus are acknowledging his lordship, but Jesus is Lord whether or not they ever believe in him. We cannot make Jesus anything, much less Lord…That Jesus is Lord over believers is not new information, but the lordship […]
Understanding 1 John 2:2
November 28, 2012
1 John 2:2 is a verse used by many to oppose particular redemption (limited atonement). They assert that this verse is proof text that Christ died for “the whole world”, meaning every individual. It is critical to understand the nature and efficacy of the atonement so that one truly understands the grace of God in salvation. […]
