Book Review — The Liturgy of Politics by Kaitlyn Schiess

October 7, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

Think for a moment upon the things that have influenced your politics and the things that influence your politics in your daily and weekly routine. You read The New York Times every morning over breakfast and shriek with joy at the latest column from Maureen Dowd. Over lunch, you read Christianity Today. After dinner, you […]

August 12, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

When Should We Officially Ditch a Christian Content Creator?

February 25, 2020 by Justin Bullington

The change of scenery is nice, I’ll admit, but going on “vacation” with four kids under 7 is not really a vacation per se. Zombie Town When most people imagine vacations, they think of relaxing on the beach, going to Disney World, or camping. What we experienced recently was more like an elongated school field […]

Penal Substitutionary Atonement: The Very Thing We Need to Overcome Racial and Socialist Agendas

April 11, 2019 by George Alvarado

All sound theology flows from a proper and biblical understanding of the atonement of Christ. Juxtaposed to this, every heresy or agenda in some way will distort or redefine the cross. Knowing the biblical reason(s) for why Christ died is critical, essential, and foundational to immunizing ourselves from the heretical diseases that seem to abound […]

Christian Ethics by Wayne Grudem — Book Review

February 7, 2019 by Garrett O’Hara

book cover of Christian Ethics: An Introduction to Biblical Moral Reasoning by Wayne Grudem

Trigger warning! Not only did Crossway provide me with free digital copies of this book in exchange for an honest review, but it also has Wayne Grudem’s name on it. That’s right — from the guy who is infamously labeled as the greatest academic advocate of the charismatic movement and all of its abuses now comes […]

Everyone is an Evangelist

Christianity seems to be marked by a divide between people who actively evangelize and those who do not. Clearly, some folks are particularly burdened about and gifted concerning the dissemination of the Christian gospel. But it is also generally understood that ALL CHRISTIANS are expected to be ready to make a defense for the hope that is in them […]

Book Review — NIGTC: The Epistle of James – A Commentary on the Greek Text

Originally published in 1982, Peter H. David’s work in the NIGTC: The Epistle of James – A Commentary on the Greek Text is far from being outdated. Those who are serious about seeking to understand what the Letter of James teaches about wisdom, faith, and justification should consider picking this volume up and making it a part of their theological library.

Put Me Through The Concussion Protocol: I’m Optimistic About The Bears

Do I have a concussion? I don’t remember a line-backer from the Jacksonville Jaguars committing a pointless penalty against me in the AFC Championship Game by spearing me right in the head. That was Gronk, not me, right? If I don’t have some sort of brain injury, then what, pray-tell, is going on with all of […]

Psalm 34:17-18 – He is Near the Brokenhearted

It never ceases to astonish me how similar suffering is from person to person, even if they are suffering for different reasons. The thing I hear most often with suffering believers is “I pray, but does God even hear me?” Our verses from Psalm 34 today put that issue to rest for each and every […]
