I’m not sure how many of you are aware of what happened at this summer’s Southern Baptist Convention in Louisville, KY. IF YOU’RE NOT AWARE, YOU NEED TO BECOME AWARE! At this meeting, SBC president and FBC Woodstock pastor Johnny Hunt and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary president Danny Akin spearheaded a movement they are calling the “Great Commission Resurgence.” The movement is summed up…

Right now I’m preaching through the book of Hosea. I honestly had no idea how tough this book really is until I read through it several times in preparation for this series. I had read the book a few years ago when I was taking Old Testament survey, but it was different then. Then I was reading the book just for familiarity. …
I’m not sure how many of you are familiar the evangelism ministry called Way of the Master led by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort, but I am learning so much and being challenged in great ways toward better gospel ministry. There’s a good chance that this ministry is broadcast into your living room every week, and you’re not even aware of it.…
Recently I’ve been challenged to think about whether or not Jesus is the only way to salvation. Are there many saviors, or is Jesus the only Savior? Theologically, this question touches the doctrine of the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. Man can certainly come up with his own opinion, but the authority over all truth is the Scripture. Therefore, our beliefs must be…
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been challenged to think about whether or not people are good. Theologically, the question would be best stated this way: what is the moral nature of mankind? Man can certainly come up with his own opinion, but the authority over all truth is the Scripture. Therefore, our beliefs must be formed and based upon the…
What is the Bible’s authority on theological controversies? Theological controversies, unfortunately, have been and will be a mainstay in this fallen world until the end of the age. The unregenerate man will always suppress the truth in unrighteousness, becoming futile and foolish in his speculations (Romans 1:18,21). As for the regenerate man, Paul says that in this current age our reason and…
What is the relationship between infallibility and authority? Infallibility and authority have been hot topics of debate in theological circles for several centuries. Let’s start by defining these terms. The doctrine of biblical infallibility is the belief that the Bible is true and reliable in all matters it addresses, including assertions and denials. In other words, it will never lead us astray.…
God is certainly a good God who has given us so many gifts. One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is children. They are for His glory and for our godliness. I’ve got to confess that God has done a major work in my heart concerning children. It’s not that I used to think ill of them. It’s just…
I read the following story yesterday and cannot get it out of my mind, especially the first and last sentences of Dibaj’s words to this evil court. What profound, earth-shaking statements! What an awesome defense of the reason for faith and perseverance! I pray that God would grant me a measure of faith to stand before accusation and threats of this extreme…
I’m beginning to work toward certification as a biblical counselor through the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors (NANC). As part of that effort, I have to respond to a series of theological and counseling questions as if I was explaining them to a counselee. After I finish one, I’ll post them here. Hopefully, you will find these helpful. _____________________________ The Bible is…
