    The Danger of Theological Tribalism

    I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but social media is a cesspool that reeks of tribalism within the Christian church. Though this problem isn’t exclusive to social media, we see the majority of it there. Tribalism is simply an unrelenting loyalty to your specific theological group, so to speak. There is not anything wrong…

    Sometimes Life is Just Inconvenient

    A couple weeks ago my family was at our local golf course. There is a kid’s playground there so we were enjoying watching Jovi have the time of her life on it. All of the sudden my wife’s car–that was turned off and locked–decided to sound it’s alarm. It did that three times within the…

  • Christ Alone

    Christ Alone

    We have been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone. Jesus Christ is our only hope. We will not find any rock-solid hope, any steadfast assurance, any grand salvation outside of the blood of Christ. As the timeless hymn begins: “In Christ…

    Navigating the “Social Justice” Debate

    If you’ve peaked your head into the news realm in the past few years—specifically as it pertains to evangelicalism—you will undoubtedly see the discussions centered around one concept: social justice. (Even though it’s not the greatest term to use.) This term has greatly divided the body of Christ. Faithful Christians aren’t agreeing, metaphorical walls have…

  • Faith Alone

    Faith Alone

    We have been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone. It was midnight. Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns as fellow prisoners listened. Unbeknownst to them, an earthquake came abruptly, the chains fell off all the prisoners, and the doors…

  • Grace Alone

    Grace Alone

    We have been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone. What is grace? One definition says it is simply “courteous goodwill.” That can certainly be true, as humans use the term grace in multiple ways, as we do with a plethora of…

  • God Loves You.

    God Loves You.

    Start your day off believing, cherishing, and meditating on these three breathtaking words: God loves you. God’s love isn’t like the culture’s love—one of transaction or a if-you-do-this-I’ll-do-that type of love. God’s love isn’t a Hallmark love. It’s a covenantal. It’s a love that compels you not to remain in your sin. It’s a love…

    In this #TwoMinuteTuesday video, I talk about the active and passive obedience of Jesus Christ. Enjoy!

  • Introducing the Five Solas

    Introducing the Five Solas

    We have been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone. If one were to say, “Tell me your Protestant without telling me your Protestant,” I believe a good way to answer that would be to explain the five solas, like the above…

    Two-Minute Tuesdays: Citizens of Heaven

    I am going to attempt to do a new thing at my blog, where each Tuesday I create a two minute video where I encourage, edify, or bless listeners in some type of way. In the below video, I talk about what it means to be citizens of Heaven.
