Worldliness Is a Gospel Issue (Part Two)
Part One As established in the New Testament, “the world” means not mere physical matter but an ordered moral system in active rebellion against the Creator, a rival kingdom animated by “the spirit of the age.” True salvation, according to the apostolic witness, produces an incongruity with that system. The saved do not love the […]
The Most Serious Issue in the World Treated Like a Non-Issue
Sin or Salvation Everywhere I preach, which right now is Matthew on Sunday morning, Isaiah on Sunday night, and Revelation on Wednesday evening, I’m reminded of what is most serious. Jesus took it very seriously, but according to many measures, people around the world don’t take it seriously. To start, it’s hard to get people’s […]
Hyper-Dispensationalism: A Dangerous Perversion of Dispensationalism
Explaining Dispensationalism Versus Hyper-Dispensationalism Dispensationalism and Hyper-Dispensationalism Opponents of a grammatical-historical interpretation of scripture, the desert island approach, originalism, also called “premillennialism,” will, either purposefully or not, characterize hyper-dispensationalism as what is dispensationalism.

Making Heaven Crowded By Diminishing Biblical Gospel Expectations
Recent popular evangelical gospel language proceeds from a Charlie Kirk quote, “Let’s make Heaven crowded,” then repeated by his widow in a speech after his assassination. Right now TPUSA has a year long, Making Heaven Crowded Tour, led by Erika Kirk. Don’t get me wrong, I want people in Heaven and not Hell in the […]
Why “Identifying the True God” Is a Major, If Not Most Important, Factor in Salvation or Conversion
The Claims of Religious Leaders on a Doctrine of Mere Identification Rabbis, imams or ulamas, and priests (particularly Catholic priests) from non-Protestant or non-evangelical Christian religions often critique the Protestant/evangelical doctrine of salvation by grace alone — especially the popular evangelical emphasis on “accepting Jesus as personal Lord and Savior” or simply believing in Jesus […]
The Relationship Between “Lordship Salvation” and Repentance
Lordship Salvation Language “Lordship salvation” is a regrettable title of a doctrine, as if there is eternal salvation without the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The rise and spread of no-Lordship salvation is actually the significant bad development. Someone will say, including concerning me, “he is Lordship salvation” or “he believes Lordship salvation.” Then that person […]
