Recently I was reading John Calvin's commentary on Isaiah the Prophet and came across this quote in the preface... "Hence we may learn in what manner the doctrine of the word should be handled, and that we ought to imitate the Prophets, who conveyed the doctrine of the Law in such a manner as to [...]

Mr. Warren McGrew recently began a series of very well produced videos on the topic of Original sin that you can find here. This will be a helpful tool to study the historical development of the doctrine of Original Sin in the history and life of the Church. I am not certain of Mr. McGrew's [...]

In an age where it seems like Biblicism has infected almost all of the American Evangelical Church, it will sound odd to most that we should need an external guide to help us read and understand the Bible.

I have to confess, that I got caught up in the lack of balance that is easy to fall into when you exist on the internet! I fell away from my own first principles in the first episode I did of AFA! I found that I was mainly dealing with the issue of defending reformed [...]

As we wake up this morning, the United States of America is experiencing nationwide riots at a level that has never been seen in the history of our country. This is right on the heels of the global pandemic, which seems to have dropped off of the news cycle overnight! But what if these two [...]

Their is much internet bandwidth (modern version of ink spilling) being spent right now, and it has increased since Dr. Jordan Cooper accused Dr. Flowers of semi-pelagianism. Dr. Flowers then responded to that accusation here and then Dr. Cooper responded to that response here. Dr. Flowers also did a long video on what is semi-Pelagianism [...]

What an incredible section I read this morning in the Confessions of Augustine*: "For in vice there lurks a counterfeit beauty: pride, for instance- even pride apes sublimity, whereas you are the only God, most high above all things. As for ambition, what does it crave but honors and glory, while you are worthy of [...]

I have to admit, and some of my reformed friends will make fun of me, that I do listen to KLOVE! And I also admit that I really like a few songs that the band Hawk Nelson put out there. So I was disheartened to hear that their lead singer came out publicly and said [...]
