We have so "Hollywooded" the idea of God's wrath that unless we see fireballs and meteors falling from the sky, like in the movies, we think He is insouciant to the gross evil being committed in this world. But rest assured, God is not in heaven twiddling His holy thumbs. His

True wisdom includes the ability to crush lofty modern arguments using ancient biblical truth.

An interesting quote from Spurgeon during the Downgrade Controversy that would be echoed by Machen after him: A new religion has been initiated which is no more Christianity than chalk is cheese; and this religion, being destitute of moral honesty, palms itself off as the old

Building up men to be… bold Christians consistent churchmen hard workers loving husbands faithful fathers …is the slow revolution. It takes time but time takes ground.

Life is glorious when you refuse to be embarrassed by anything the Bible says. Joyful, free, and dangerous in all the best ways.

Modern day applications abound.

The virus of theological liberalism leads to the disease of social churchianity and its end is no Christianity at all.

“Let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.” Titus 3:14 If Titus’s people are to learn, then he is to teach. The great pastoral challenge: show the people how the gospel necessarily produces good works.

“The church is not an add-on with God. It is not something that you can take or leave as you determine best in how it suits you. The church is at the very center of God's purposes unfolding in this world.” Tom Ascol @tomascol FoundersMin podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

“… as much as you love the word of God, as much as you think the word of God is sufficient and authoritative… you are still not submitting yourself to the Lord if you are not submitting yourself to a local church.” FoundersMin podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. — 1 Corinthians 4:6 Do not go beyond what is written.

In a world of much confusion and many opinions, do not forget the very real (and often most likely) possibility that both sides are wrong. Solution…turn around, reassess, pray for clarity, and study your Bible (all of it).

If Christianity Today was around 2,000 years ago, I’m convinced that their article about Jesus’ crucifixion would be in agreement with the Pharisees and Pilate’s assessments of Jesus. They are a shameless organization that represents everything but Christianity.

A note on 1 Corinthians 11, having just preached on head coverings: You can tell that Paul isn't saying that head coverings were just a cultural issue in Corinth by the way that Paul doesn't say that head coverings were just a cultural issue in Corinth. Just like you can tell

𝕊𝕠𝕝𝕒 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕕 🎚️ The more professing Christians I see on social media whose default response to these "conversions" is to legitimize them, apart from any biblically-prescribed evidence, the more convinced I am that those people are merely moralists who have no true understanding of how
