Swindoll is still doing a great job in his preaching series on Romans. Though dispensationalist and known for some cheesy work in the 80s and 90s, Swindoll’s teaching has definitely improved since his (unofficial) conversion to Reformed soteriology a number of years ago; he has always said his biggest influence was Spurgeon. I also finished [...]

Normally, I don’t respond to people who have demonstrated themselves to be  wholly immature and beyond rational conversation (i.e. getting kicked out of CARM, #prosapologian and #apologetics IRC chat channel – countless times, making lawsuit threats for leaked audio debates over gay sex, spamming blogs under the names of cartoon characters and phony email addresses, [...]

In each case God has disclosed something specific about Himself and His relationship to His [...]

This ministry isn’t even yet a year old, and I still feel like this essay is overdue – for both itself and the rest of Christian apologetics. God hates pride. He hates it with a passion. Over and over and over again in the Torah and throughout all the Old covenants, God continually says things [...]
