The Second Eve Undoes the Curse? — Addressing that Rachel Jankovic blog post, part 2

July 9, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

Rachel Jankovic and Douglas Wilson. Sourced from https://vimeo.com/33690002 under Fair Use.

In part ‘0’ of this series, I went through a fairly dry history of how “second Eve” has been used from the time of the early church until now. In part 1, I dug into the Jankovic article on the question of second Eve and how her use of the term creates too much confusion […]

Why We Should Have Seeker Sensitive Churches

November 6, 2019 by Allen Nelson IV

I can’t really document the dates so well, but I think most will generally agree that at the turn of the century the “Seeker Sensitive” movement was in full gear. This movement’s mantra is, essentially, that churches should be designed for seekers. In my own state of Arkansas, I hear a lot of talk about […]

Distorting God’s Character Essentially Satan has targeted the goodness of God in Genesis 3:4–5. He has called God a liar. […]

Satan’s Strategies for Temptation — Part 1

October 7, 2019 by Allen Nelson IV

Satan takes God’s Word and he twists it and he downplays the consequences for disobeying it, and he downplays the consequences for sin. The famous RG Lee quote is pertinent here: “Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.”

You Will Be Like ‘Gods’?: Genesis 3:5 and Mormonism

October 4, 2019 by Garrett O’Hara

Joseph Smith Translation cover page, Joseph Smith painting, and the Hebrew of Genesis 3:5

A good friend in the ministry recently raised a question she was asked by someone else concerning Genesis 3:5 in the context of a conversation with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and it’s a very good one. In this article, I’ll answer the question with a moderate level of […]

Psalm 119:41-44 — Answering the Taunter

Secondly, we are reminded that the God of the Old Testament is the same God as the God of the New Testament and that He is a God of love. But not only is God love, what is striking is that He loves me. It is God’s love that is on display at the cross, and David well knows that he has no hope of delighting in the path of God’s commandments (Psalm 119:35) or keeping God’s law (Psalm 119:34) unless God “makes the first move.” We love because He first loved us! In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that He loved us and gave His Son to be a propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:19,10)!
