Book Review — Human Nature from Calvin to Edwards

December 20, 2019 by Chuck Ivey

The Doctrine on Which the Church Stands or Falls takes its title from the Reformation era conviction that justification by faith is the dividing line between the biblical gospel and man-centered efforts to earn favor with God. Matthew Barrett serves as editor and co-author with several significant theologians. In the forward, D.A. Carson writes that nothing is more important than the subject of this massive volume (15). The book is organized into four parts, grouping the chapters by looking at justification according to what the Bible itself teaches, theological perspectives on the doctrine, church history, and pastoral practice.

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 […]

If you want to start deeper contemplation upon the holiness of […]

The Flag is Not About Us Veterans

With Colin Kaepernick trending once again — along with my just having figured out that there’s an ‘e’ in his name — many are attempting to counter the claim of Kaepernick’s “sacrifice” by raising the sacrifice of military veterans. This response is nothing new. As Kaepernick began sitting and then kneeling for the national anthem […]
