One of the reasons I absolutely love expository preaching and insist that pastors preach verse-by-verse through books of the Bible for their congregations is because the Word of God is always timely. Rather than preaching hobby-horses or tired and trite topics of interest, expository preaching, when done well, forces the pastor to faithfully handle the texts of […]
Richard Baxter (1615–1691), a Puritan minister of the seventeenth century, penned his thoughts on the covenant of marriage, writing, “It is a mercy to have a faithful friend that loveth you entirely to whom you may open your mind and communicate your affairs. And it is a mercy to have so near a friend to […]
On chilly winter nights we enjoy drinking a hot drink in a comfy chair in front of a fire. This kind of ideal setting becomes even more enjoyable if we can open a great book on church history. Imagine reading Five English Reformers by J. C. Ryle with pecans roasting on an open fire. This book records […]
Carlton D’Metrius Pearson (March 19, 1953–November 19, 2023) is a name relatively unknown in reformed Baptist circles. However, his influence on me and countless others in Black Pentecostal circles is immense—numerous people, including T.D. Jakes, Myles Munroe, Joyce Meyer, Juanita Bynum, Donnie McClurkin, and names too numerous to list, can directly attribute their national notoriety […]
Over the course of the last week, we’ve seen many different reviews of the 2023 G3 National Conference by attendees. I’d like to share one with you, from a leadership and insider’s perspective. We gathered together with 8,300 people in Atlanta under the theme of “The Sovereignty of God” but we reached far higher goals […]
With the 2023 G3 National Conference quickly approaching, believers from all over the country, and beyond, will soon be gathering in Atlanta, Georgia. Under the thematic banner of God’s sovereignty, conference attendees will enjoy three days filled with expository preaching, theological discussions, congregational singing, and rich fellowship. This year’s national conference will include thirteen main sessions, as […]
Man is fallen in his mind. John Owen knew this. But Owen also recognized that there is a tendency within man to think more highly of himself than he ought to. While the Christian fundamentally recognizes that man is fallen in his reasoning, there is sometimes a disconnect in practice. Occasionally, Christians, who truly do […]
What authority does the church have in the world? Not only is this an important question, but it’s a question that has been at the center of recent conversations concerning the topic of Christian Nationalism. Yet, when we consider the purpose of the local church, we must understand that this is also a question that gets […]
Do you ever feel like everything around us is crumbling? You look around and wickedness seems to be everywhere, and you wonder: where is God in all this? And not only that, they’re prospering! One of the core purposes of the psalms is to help us navigate this kind of reality, which has indeed been […]
Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets is one of the latest shows to gain notoriety recently for its criticisms of Christianity. Though the show carries itself as a documentary meant to shed light on the inner workings of the Duggar family, made famous by the reality TV show 19 Kids and Counting, it is much more than […]
Recently there has been a lot of talk about the importance of focusing on the church’s mission. That’s good as far as it goes—we’ve been given a mission by Jesus to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:19), and so we ought to continually commit to that mission and find ways to join with others […]
Scripture contains many passages that are difficult to interpret—even Peter said so (2 Pet 3:16). What is “baptism for the dead” in 1 Corinthians 15? Who were the Nephilim of Genesis 6? What did Peter mean when he said that Jesus “went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison” (1 Pet 3:19)? What does the […]
A courtroom stands as one of the few places our society still treats with respect. They refer to the judge as “your honor.” Those involved in the trial dress very formally. The court hands down life-changing verdicts of guilty and not-guilty. The court places witnesses under oath to ensure their truthfulness. The proceedings radiate an […]
What does it really mean to serve the Lord? Unfortunately, there is actually a lot of confusion about the proper answer to that question among evangelicals today. Some Christians believe that the only way to really serve the purposes and plans of God is what is sometimes referred to as “full time Christian service.” All […]
There is an essential duty that every minister of the gospel is called to do: Preach the gospel. Of course, in a broad sense, every believer is called to proclaim the gospel, defend the gospel, and answer questions about the gospel. As Peter orders Christians in 1 Peter 3:15, “in your hearts honor Christ the […]
Here’s one of the biggest reasons I object to what has come to be called “Christian Nationalism”: we simply do not find anything like it in the New Testament. In this essay, I would like to sketch what I believe is the biblical alternative to Christian Nationalism: Christian Faithfulness. But before I do, allow me […]
If what is meant by Christian nationalism today is a form of active patriotism in which borders are protected, national sovereignty is enforced, and society moves back toward a Judeo-Christian ethic, call me a Christian nationalist. However, few have studied the European nationalist movement. Fewer still understand that leaders of this new movement are giving […]
Discussions of “Christian nationalism” are on the rise among evangelicals in recent months. We’ve seen an uptick of books, podcasts, conferences, and evangelical ministries promoting the idea of a “Christian nation.” There are a variety of reasons for this rise in focus on Christian nationalism, most of which I do not plan to address here. […]
Last week we looked at the two biblical pictures of the worship of heaven that revealed fundamental principles about the nature of worship. What, then, is the relationship between this eternal worship of the world without end and the worship taking place here on earth, both as it was in the beginning (OT worship) and […]
I arrived early as the guest preacher at a church. A kind and gracious woman engaged me with some small talk. She told me about their church and then added, “We don’t get into the doctrine here.” The immediate question that came to mind was, “Then what do you get into?” R. C. Sproul says […]
