Not Alone

Feeble my stance, when I’m standing alone. I’ve run back to sin and regarded it home. I’ve taken my heart and disguised it as stone. But Christ will not leave me alone. Fleeing to live out this life on my own. A sheep oh so desperately prone yet to roam. On grace I will fling [...]

A Trembling Young Man Stands Up In Southlake

          Well, yet another amazing night of open air preaching. This time we met at the church’s regular spot, Southlake Town Center, in Southlake, TX.

Monergism is Leading Me into Temptation

Is it a sin to covet the word of God?

The Love of God Found Only in the Justification of God

The love of God is most vividly seen when His justifying grace is bestowed upon an individual who is damned for eternity.

Shall We Pray for Contentment or Deliverance?

            I’ve been batting around the idea of how to balance Christianity with politics for the past few months. On the one side, I know that we are not to rely on the schemes of men for our salvation from this current judgment that we are experiencing. On the other side of the coin, I [...]

Come Trials! Come Tribulation!

            As an amillennialist, I am inclined to believe that the tribulation is currently going on, as it has been since the beginning of the church age. We Americans do not recognize it, because we are not in it. Rather, we have created a post-millennialist pseudo-utopia, from which we convince ourselves that the suffering that [...]

A Puritan Perspective on Humility

Humility makes a man peaceable among brethren, fruitful in well-doing, cheerful in suffering, and constant in holy walking (1Peter 5:5).

Unconfessed Sin

                I know that some of you are probably incredibly turned off by the art form known as rap music, but I find that it is a good method for conveying biblical truths. Within the past few months I have been struggling with some sin issues creeping back into my life. I find that it [...]

Benefits of Fasting

Benefits of Fasting   Matthew Henry said of fasting: “It is an act of self-denial and humiliation under the hand of God. The most grown Christians must hereby own, they are so far from having anything to be proud of, that they are unworthy of their daily bread.” Fasting humbles us before the throne of [...]

Video: My Testimony

            Chaplain Erik asked me to share my testimony, this week. I was a little concerned, at first, that I wouldn’t have enough time to share a good enough gospel message, because he only gave me five minutes with which to share my testimony. However, after finding out that one of the Navy Chaplains (a [...]
