What Antisemitism Is and Is Not

This blog post seeks to clarify what antisemitism is and is not. After the death of Charlie Kirk many were falsely calling those who disagreed with the Israeli government’s actions as antisemitic. The closely related topic of “racism” is also discussed as racism is the foundation of antisemitism. The foundation of racism is Darwinian evolution which gave rise to the idea that there are different “races.” The only solution to so-called “racism” is also given.

A Tribute to John MacArthur

Faithful expository preaching and shepherding is the legacy of John MacArthur. He has influenced me more than any other preacher. Though now in glory, John still speaks to me through his faithful example, sermons, books, blogs, journal, and magazine articles.

Are You A Lover Of Pleasure Or A Lover Of God?

"Even acceptable pleasures become sinful if you pursue them to the neglect of what is commanded in the Bible."

The world is falling apart while many in the church are choosing pleasure above God. Take some time to talk to the Lord this week about how you are using your time. Consider if hedonism has crept into your life, the false idea that pleasure is the highest form of good.

FAITH OR PRESUMPTION? ARE YOU TRUSTING GOD OR JUST BEING LAZY?

"If you go to a church that doesn’t have doctrinally oriented expository preaching, it will show up as theological shallowness and lack of discernment in the congregation."

Don’t let those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, or those who have not read the entirety of the Bible, tell you that the God of the Old Testament is different than the God of the New Testament. There is only one God. He has chosen to manifest Himself in three distinct persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is an immutable God and cannot change. In both testaments we see all of His divine attributes on display.
