    How really free are you where God is concerned?

    It’s my opinion that, once the domino of total depravity falls, all the other supposed hard-to-accept teachings of reformed theology (including limited atonement) become easy to accept. Let me explain.  

  • Will Christ say He never knew you?

    Will Christ say He never knew you?

    Having just listened to John MacArthur s message entitled The Damning Deception of Empty Words and Empty Hearts, which covers the end of Matthew 7 and Christ s judgment on those who thought they were truly saved but were not, a man called into MacArthur s Q A line and nervously asked the pastor teacher a question

  • Responding to the 'don’t know, don’t care about God' crowd

    Responding to the 'don’t know, don’t care about God' crowd

    Take agnosticism and tack on a sense of insignificance to the idea of God and you have the apatheist. Surprisingly, there are a lot more of them than you may think.  

  • Why you should (and probably already do) believe in limited atonement

    Why you should (and probably already do) believe in limited atonement

    When it comes to which of the five points of Calvinism that irk non-reformed Christians the most, my money is on limited atonement. The doctrine of limited atonement teaches that Christ's redeeming work on the cross secured an actual salvation for only the elect of God.

    Asking for Barabbas is a supremely bad idea

    The stark comparison between Christ and Barabbas becomes even more spiritually significant when one discovers the meaning behind the latter’s name. Bar means “son of” and abba is “father” in the Greek.

  • No matter how you slice it, the resurrection of Jesus is a miracle

    No matter how you slice it, the resurrection of Jesus is a miracle

    Whether you’re a Christian or atheist, if asked to explain the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, your answer will always involve a miracle. Let me explain why.  

  • Ravi Zacharias and the third level of truth

    Ravi Zacharias and the third level of truth

    The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard was the greatest apologist for the third level of truth. Demanding that Christianity be interpreted as living truth rather than just a system of thought, he forged a unique path within the philosophy of religion by saying that no person has a right to claim truth until they first are the truth.

  • The age of unbeliever rage

    The age of unbeliever rage

    I find it ironic that our secular culture’s pulpit continuously streams preaching that can be summed up as “Be inclusive; be kind” and yet the people behind such talk behave in the exact opposite manner towards anyone who disagrees with them.
