Any written document must be interpreted if it is to be understood. The United States of America has nine highly skilled individuals whose daily task is to interpret the Constitution. They comprise the Supreme Court of the land. To interpret the Bible is a far more solemn task than to interpret the U.S. Constitution. It [...]

I like to play basketball – even though at the current time I’m still recovering from an injury and shouldn’t even be thinking of the court right now. One thing I learnt playing basketball against people who could wipe the floor with me was to not hate the player, but to hate the game (I’m [...]

I will be serialising this rather lengthy article. Here is Part 1 of this series.
There is an issue which has always bothered since I embraced the Doctrines of Grace almost two years ago (August 18 to be exact). Occasionally I have touched on it but it always felt as a theoretical problem, rather than a [...]

As part of my extended series on posts on Rediscovering Biblical Christianity, I revised an article I wrote at the request of my buddy S.O. about not wasting your brain and the importance of cultivating a robust theology for Christian living (some these days *cough – Emergents* will tell it’s not possible but I beg [...]

My friend Rev. Angus Stewart of Covenant Protestant Refomed Church over in Ballymena, N. Ireland was part of a discussion with Rev. Timothy Ramsay of Word of Faith International Christian Centre on the Doctrines of Grace. You can check out Rev. Stewart’s ministry by clicking here.
