Nov 15th, 2011 | By | Category: Black and Reformed

As you may gather when you read this blog, I am unashamedly Reformed in my theology. I fully affirm the teaching of the Second London Baptist Confession, commonly called the 1689 Baptist Confession and its five main areas of assent with classic Christian theology (you can listen to Greg Nichols’ fine lecture on this subject, [...]

Oct 22nd, 2011 | By | Category: Featured Article, Uncategorized

As a confessing Reformed Baptist, I fully affirm its teaching regarding the three use of the laws. The Reformer Reader explains what the three uses are: When the Reformed and Lutheran scholastics talked about God’s moral law (lex moralis), they taught that there are three basic uses of the law (usus legis).  They are: 1) [...]



Preaching an Untruncated Gospel

Sep 30th, 2011 | By | Category: Featured Article, General Humor

If you’re familiar with the reformed blogosphere, you’ll no doubt be familiar with the big discussions that have happened in recent months regarding the relationship between justification and sanctification.

Apr 9th, 2010 | By | Category: Featured Article

Monergism.com, as I’ve mentioned in my previous post, is a darn well amazing site. If you don’t use it, hang your head in shame, repent and start using it LOL. I get email updates from them all the time, and I got a good one today. They featured a list of books which, after I [...]

Aug 31st, 2009 | By | Category: Uncategorized

We continue on with our series “Rediscovering Biblical Christianity”, having considered what has happened to the church universal as well as considering what individuals can do to get back into the Bible and sound doctrine for themselves.

R.C. Sproul on Interpreting the Bible

Jul 20th, 2009 | By | Category: Uncategorized

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 [...]

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 [...]



John Dollar (or “How The Average Christian Has Been Dumbed Down”)

Feb 24th, 2009 | By | Category: Uncategorized

(I read this article at Pulpit Pimps, blogging home of Melvin Jones, and figured I had to share it with the peeps. Quickly, the Theology 101 series proper will begin next Tuesday, looking at the term “the Word of God”.) For those of you who recognize this as a take off on a portrait of [...]



Ten Reasons for Actively Preaching the Doctrine of Election

Aug 16th, 2008 | By | Category: Uncategorized

I was in PalTalk last night and my brother Tim Micer brought up an interesting question: Is election necessary for preaching the Gospel? While we all didn’t agree on the implications of what our brother was saying, he did bring up 10 very solid reasons for his case. As I saw them, it dawned on me that these reasons in [...]
