Compromising Calvinist – When We Just Aren’t Calvinistic Enough (Part 2)

June 4, 2019 by George Alvarado

If you have not read Compromising Calvinist – When We Just Aren’t Calvinistic Enough (Part 1), please do so first. As a refresher, in Part 1, we looked at the 6 points of compromise that some of our brethren in question contend are Arminian compromises. Here they are again. Common grace Progressive Sanctification The genuine, […]

Compromising Calvinist – When We Just Aren’t Calvinistic Enough (Part 1)

May 31, 2019 by George Alvarado

“Compromising Calvinist.” This term has become a fiery dart in the arsenal of some of our Calvinistic brethren. No doubt there are preachers who compromise the truth in many ways. But this term isn’t primarily directed toward social gospel preachers, New Apostolic Reformation sympathizers, or even what some would call “Calminians.” The cross hairs are […]

Any Given Sunday

Frankly, I have zero desire to be a so-called “discernment blogger.” I simply don’t have the time to fulfill my God given duties of a Christian, husband, father, and pastor while also monitoring all the happenings of the evangelical world at large. Furthermore, I can’t find the motivation to blog or tweet about every single […]

Book Review and Giveaway – Day by Day Chronological Bible

I am really excited to share this new publication with you. Crossway is releasing a Chronological Bible in the Christian Standard Bible translation. If you haven’t heard of a ‘chronological Bible,’ it’s a Bible formatted in the historical order of events, rather than the classic order of the canon—Genesis, Exodus…Revelation. Here is a description of […]

Be Killing Sin – Part 2

Last time, we looked at God’s rebuke of Cain and the exposure of his sin (Genesis 4:6-7). In this post, we want to dive a bit deeper into a better understanding of sin. In this gracious rebuke from the Lord, we also learn some important truth about sin and a warning about sin. Sin is […]

A Short Recounting of George Whitefield’s Conversion

Before Lifeway, there was the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. In the Mid-20th Century, this board put out a series of studies for churches to use with their parishioners. One such study was called Soul-Winning Doctrines by J. Clyde Turner (1943). In his section on regeneration, he gives a short recounting of George Whitefield’s […]

Children’s Book Review — A Rainbow of Rocks

There are two main sections to this children’s book. The first section takes your child page by page and displays a picture of a rock with a little text about the rock on each page. The photos are brilliant, and the name of the rock is highlighted in the same color as the rock. The color scheme is really neat. Each set of two pages has similarly colored rocks. By the end, you’ve looked at 16 different rocks of several different hues.

Ryle, Reading, and Reverberation

Reading the Bible consistently and expectantly at the same time can be a bit challenging. We often find ourselves doing one or the other, depending on where we’re at. I can read the narrative of Genesis pretty consistently (which I’m doing right now, actually), because I want to know what’s up next or just enjoy the […]
