Over the years I’ve learned that many Christians believe that there are many good non-Christians After all, if you actually know some good non-Christians, then there must be good non-Christians, right? That’s not what Jesus thought and that humans outside of Christ aren’t good is the second most untaught doctrine in American Christianity (second only […]

Monday I began this series talking about that if you’re allowing unrepentant sexual sin to exist in your life then you’re probably not saved. Yesterday, I posted about “A Sure-Fire Way to Stop Looking at Porn.” In that post I shared how I discipline myself not to lust. But, there’s so much more than that.

Yesterday I posted that true Christians cannot go on living in unrepentant sexual sin, but Christians need help! Here’s my story. The first time I found porn at six or seven-years-old, I thought we could be friends for life. From then on, my “forts” were as full of porn as I could find (I should

Often on TV, Jean and I have seen people proclaim that they are Christians, that “my faith is very important to me,” and talk openly about Jesus, but they say these things while they are living in overt, unrepentant sexual sin. Hopefully, that’s not you. But if it is, then you probably aren’t saved, and,

If you look at my past posts you’ll find that I tend to avoid anything political but if a political/economic theory contradicts Christian theology, then that needs to be exposed. One such theory is Marxism. I can’t think of a political/economic theory that has failed more resoundingly than Marxism. Although Marxism always fails, it is

Many of you already know that as of August 15, 2020, that I left Talbot School of Theology as a full-time professor (you can read why in my post “Why I’m Leaving Talbot School of Theology”). So you won’t be surprised to hear that since May 13, 2019, when I found out I would be

Today we often hear Christianity dismissed as a white, Western, male religion or “white man’s religion,” but this is uninformed. Look at a map you’ll find—shock and awe—that Christianity is a Middle-Eastern religion. Also, as Paul Marshall has pointed out, Christianity “was in Africa before Europe, India before England, China before America. Three-fourths of world

The appalling death of George Floyd rightly upset the nation, but we’ve also watched people loot and burn businesses (many of them owned by African Americans), beat the innocent (some of them African Americans), and injure and kill police officers (sometimes African American police officers). We shouldn’t be surprised. There is something going on here

My last post was How God Can Use COVID-19 to Bless Us. In this post I’ll offer steps to find peace during the pandemic. Look Away First, although it’s hard not to watch the news which so often seems like a slow-motion train wreak (I cannot look, but I cannot look away!), we shouldn’t spend

We’re all struggling because of COVID-19. Some are very sick, some have lost loved ones, many have lost their jobs, our economy is endangered, and most are frightened at the prospect of getting sick and perhaps dying. At the very least, we are tired of being cooped up at home. So, how can God use
