Judgement is a heavily discussed topic regarding the Christian faith. As the consciences of men are pricked about sin, there are only two ways to go. One either repents, recognizing his need for a savior, or he convinces himself that there is no coming judgement. Most say that nobody has a right to judge anyone…

Letter to the American Church: Review
Author’s Intent Letter to the American Church was undertaken by Eric Metaxas in an effort to prick the conscience of a church which has slipped so far into personal piety that she practices almost a complete apathy to our neighbors beyond personal charity. Repeatedly through the book, he uses the imagery of a church asleep….
The Case For Christian Nationalism: Review
Authors Intent Stephen Wolfe is the author of The Case for Christian Nationalism. His intent, as he makes clear in the book, is to articulate the political thought behind the venture of Christian Nationalism. While he touches upon the theological foundations a bit, he makes a point to avoid making this work primarily about matters…
Subjective Ethics
Their Own Eyes “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” is a statement that is repeated throughout the book of Judges. Because there was no authority in the land to guide all the people, the people in Israel each lived life according to their…
Pointless Credentials
Nobody Messengers In a previous post, I had written about how shocked people were with the authority with which Jesus spoke. When Jesus taught in synagogues, people were often astounded that he could make such clear and bold interpretations of the text of scripture.

Worldly Guilt Trip
The High Places Anyone who’s read through the books of 1 and 2 Kings will remember the phrase “but the high places were not removed”. Israel and Judah were split and the Kingdom of Israel went after all sorts of false gods. Judah would likewise wander after false gods at times but would often have…
God of All
Israel’s God In 1 Kings 20, we have a record of the kings of Syria seeking to conquer the kingdom of Israel under the reign of Ahab. Ahab was a terrible king. Not only did he lead the people to live sinfully but he even allowed his family’s personal ambitions to come before any sense…
God of Power and Grace
Elijah Flees Elijah had stood up to the corrupt rule of Ahab’s family. After God had demonstrated that he was the only true God, Elijah had ordered the people to execute the servants of Baal (1 Kings 18). The demonstration seemed to have shaken Ahab but his wife, Jezebel, sought to have Elijah executed in…
Need for Repentance
Leaving the Ninety-Nine In Luke 15, we have a series of parables Jesus told about how he had come to seek the lost. The first such parable concerns sheep. What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one…
Sincerely Wrong
The Coexist Movement In order to defend the apathy of our society toward matters which are most significant (topmost being man’s relationship with our creator), it is often claimed that it doesn’t matter what you believe about God as much as it does that you believe it sincerely. In this way, it is argued, Buddhists,…
