🎉 Happy Reformation Day!
A Celebration of Grace, Grit, and Gospel Clarity If you’ve got your coffee, your Bible, and at least a vague memory of what “Sola” means, congratulations — you’re ready to celebrate Reformation Day. Every October 31st, while the world gears up with costumes, candy, and questionable fashion decisions, a few of us weirdos celebrate something…

Why the Fulfillment of the Church Is Not Replacement Theology
Introduction: Clearing the Air Few theological terms spark more misunderstanding than Replacement Theology. For many, it’s a theological slur — a way to accuse anyone who sees continuity between Israel and the Church of “replacing” God’s chosen people. But that caricature misses the beauty of God’s redemptive plan entirely. The Church does not replace Israel.…

The Church Was Never Meant to Be a Building
Let’s be honest — when most people hear the word church, they think of a building. Steeples. Pews. Coffee tables in the foyer. But biblically speaking, the Church isn’t a place you go. It’s a people you belong to. The New Testament word for church, ekklesia, literally means “the called-out ones.” We’re not called out…

Why I’d Rather Sing Psalms and Hymns Than the Top 40 on K-Love
Jesus Christ is King. Let’s talk about church music — that beautiful, powerful, sometimes ear-splitting expression of worship that can either lift your soul to the throne of grace or make you feel like you’re trapped inside a Christian boy band reunion. Now, before anyone grabs their pitchfork (or tambourine), let’s admit it: contemporary worship…

Dispelling the Americanized Jesus: A Prophetic Rebuke to the Idolatry of Cultural Christianity
Dispelling the Americanized Jesus A Prophetic Rebuke to the Idolatry of Cultural Christianity There is a Jesus that America loves to worship — but He bears little resemblance to the Christ of Scripture. He waves our flags, blesses our wars, votes our party lines, and smiles at our prosperity. He is tame, tolerant, and terribly…

The Wicked Propaganda of the Pro-Choice Left
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,who put darkness for light and light for darkness,who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”— Isaiah 5:20 (ESV) Modern culture has mastered the art of rebranding evil as virtue. Nowhere is this clearer than in the rhetoric of the pro-choice movement. What began as…

Living Faithfully in Exile: Lessons from Jeremiah 29
There’s a verse that hangs on countless coffee mugs, notebooks, and inspirational posters: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”— Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) It’s a beautiful promise—but one that’s often taken out of context. Behind…

Forget Not All His Benefits
A Reflection on Psalm 103 Preaching to Your Own Soul “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits…” (Psalm 103:1–2) David doesn’t begin by addressing Israel. He begins with himself. This is a man who…

Why Abortion Conversations Feel So Hard
Behind the Reactions: What’s Really Going On After Abortion Talking about abortion is never easy. For many, the subject brings a flood of emotions—pain, regret, anger, or fierce self-protection. Conversations that begin calmly can quickly become tense. Often, those who have experienced abortion respond not with statistics or careful reasoning, but with deeply personal stories…

Voddie Baucham: A Life of Truth, Boldness, and Kingdom Vision
On September 25, 2025, the church lost one of its most pointed, unwavering voices. Voddie Baucham passed into glory, leaving behind a legacy of clarity, courage, and conviction. His death stings deeply—for those who knew him personally, those whose lives were shaped by his teaching, and the church worldwide. We mourn not just his loss…

What God Breaks: A Reflection on Matthew 8:5–13
Introduction: The Gift of Brokenness There is a strange paradox in the Christian life: the more we grow in faith, the more aware we become of our brokenness. For many, brokenness is seen as failure or weakness. But in the kingdom of God, brokenness is not a defect—it is the doorway. Our brokenness is the…

“And They Laid Their Coats…”
1) The stadium and the stones Sunday afternoon, the doors opened at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and a river of people—families with toddlers balanced on hips, college students in hoodies, retirees in flag pins, pastors in Sunday suits—flowed into the bowl of seats until the place looked like a living topography of grief…

Who Are You, O Man?
Introduction: The Crisis of Modern Theology We live in a day when God is spoken of, but rarely feared. People profess to know Him, yet openly dismiss His commandments. Marriage is redefined. Life in the womb is discarded. Truth is molded to personal preference. Even in the church, sermons are softened so as not to…

Cowardice in the Face of Duty: When Men Refuse to Protect Life
Introduction: The Epidemic of Cowardice Our age is not primarily marked by poverty, plague, or even political instability. The deepest wound in our society is the epidemic of cowardice—men refusing to fulfill their God-given responsibility to protect life. This is not a new disease. From the Garden of Eden to the battlefields of history, cowardice…

The Folly of Ibram X. Kendi: How His Ideology Has Harmed Generations
1. Introduction: A False Cure for a Real Disease Jeremiah thundered against false prophets in his day: “They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.” (Jer. 6:14) False cures are often worse than the disease. They promise healing but spread infection. In Paul’s day, the false…

The Modern American Church: Complicity in the Face of Evil
Introduction: A Church at the Crossroads The American church once stood as a prophetic witness to the world, a city set on a hill shining the light of Christ into darkness (Matthew 5:14–16). Today, however, that light is flickering. Instead of rebuking the world, much of the church imitates it. Instead of restraining evil, it…

Blood Cries from the Ground: Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and Revisiting the Call for Public Justice
We live in an age when evil is not merely tolerated but celebrated. Our nation staggers under the weight of lawlessness, and each fresh tragedy reminds us of what happens when justice is delayed, hidden, or excused. In recent days, two murders stand out as chilling testaments to this crisis—the assassination of Charlie Kirk at…

The Righteousness of Public Justice
Our age has redefined love. It is no longer the biblical love that “does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth” (1 Corinthians 13:6). Instead, love is now presented as permissiveness, excuse-making, and endless tolerance. Under this false banner, our culture excuses the vilest sins by labeling them “mental illness,” blaming “systemic oppression,”…

The Hope in Suffering

We live in a world that runs from suffering. Everything around us is designed to make life easier, more comfortable, and free from pain. When hardship strikes, we are quick to ask, Why me? When tragedy comes, we are told to numb it, escape it, or bury it beneath busyness. The underlying belief is simple:…

From Darkness to Light: The Gospel Testimony of Neeza Powers
Every generation needs living testimonies of God’s saving grace—evidence that Jesus still breaks chains, rescues the enslaved, and makes new life possible. One such profound testimony is that of Neeza Powers (short for Ebenezer, meaning “stone of help”—a fitting picture of God’s grace revealed in his life). Once lost in the delusion of transgender ideology,…

Feminism and the Destruction of Decent Society Part 5
We have spent the past few days examining feminism and its destructive fruit—rebellion against God’s order, the tearing down of the family, the assault on men, and the corruption of the church. But we must not end with critique alone. God has not left us in confusion. He has given us His perfect design, and…

Feminism and the Destruction of Decent Society Part 1
Feminism is often spoken of today as if it were the most noble and necessary movement of modern history, a righteous struggle for freedom and equality that rescued women from centuries of oppression. But if we strip away the cultural slogans and emotional appeals, what we discover is that feminism is not truly about equality—it…

Mercy: My Jeep, My Memory, My Reminder of Grace
A Jeep Lover’s Heartbeat I’ve been a Jeep lover my whole life. There’s something about these rugged machines—the way they stand tall against the elements, the way they feel at home whether cruising through town or grinding down a trail. They represent freedom, strength, and a little bit of rebellion against the ordinary. Isaac knew…
