The Lost Art of Feeling Proper Shame

Last updated on: November 7, 2018 at 11:59 am   By Grayson Gilbert

Shame is often presented as this ever-looming enemy – one we need to simply cast aside as we pursue true happiness and joy in this fleeting life. Psychological studies abound on how shame is simply a measure wherein another individual is exercising control over you – you just need to escape it and move on. Others might advocate for some causal benefits of it which allow us to navigate social mores more easily, yet the emphasis is still placed upon... Read more

How to Debate Calvinism (7 Tips Written by a Calvinist)

Last updated on: November 3, 2018 at 10:07 am   By Jack Lee

1) Don’t repeatedly point to the word “whosoever” or “world” in John 3:16  s verse. These may rooted in a reasonable question, if you are unfamiliar with a Calvinistic interpretation of the text, but this is not a place to hinge a debate. If you’re online, typing in all caps will not gain you any friends either. Read more

It is Finished: Elaborate Wedding Invitation or Eternal Accomplishment?

Last updated on: September 23, 2018 at 9:28 am   By Jack Lee

“When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.” (John 19:30, ESV) The words “it is finished” are universally recognized as those Jesus uttered with His last bit strength at Golgotha.  Often taken for granted as merely a signal of the end of Jesus’ earthly mission, those three little words ought to be a never-ending wellspring of comfort for Christians in every generation. They are evidence that something big was completed. Anyone within hearing distance of the famous last... Read more

Andy Stanley Separates God of Old Testament from God of New Testament

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 1:10 pm   By Grayson Gilbert

Andy Stanley recently penned this piece on the use of the Law for the New Testament believer. While he doesn’t explicitly signal this is what he is writing about, it undoubtedly is – but more importantly, he is undoubtedly wrong and makes several categorical errors. Now, this is certainly not the first time Andy Stanley has made comments about the Old Testament that are inherently problematic. I’ll actually go a step further and say I earnestly sense Andy’s knowledge of... Read more

Spirit & Truth: An Interview With Les Lanphere About His Upcoming Film

Last updated on: August 27, 2018 at 8:24 pm   By Jack Lee

A few weeks ago, Les Lanphere, creator of the film Calvinist, announced a kickstarter and plans to produce a new film called Spirit & Truth: A Film About Worship. The aim of this project is very timely. I was fortunate enough to catch up with Les and talk a little about the film, and its underlying driving force: The Regulative Principle of Worship Read more

Steven Furtick is the Most Dangerous Kind of False Teacher

Last updated on: January 12, 2021 at 11:45 am   By Grayson Gilbert

Steven Furtick has long been a bane to the Evangelical church on the basis of his own self-admission: he’s unqualified for the pastorate. He literally wrote the book on it in response to MacArthur’s one word answer when asked what his thoughts were on Furtick. Yet, rather than reassess whether or not he would be qualified per Scripture’s own stance, Steven Furtick doubled down in his pride with a publishing deal. While he may be unqualified in numerous areas, the... Read more

Why Being Pro-Life and Pro-Death-Penalty Isn’t a Contradiction

Last updated on: August 20, 2018 at 10:17 am   By Taylor Drummond

There is no inconsistency between being pro-life and in support of the principle of the death penalty. In fact, the same basic reality undergirds the Christian’s support of both. We will see this by walking through the Christian arguments against abortion and for the death penalty in five points. Read more

A Better Way To Read Theological Books? An Interview With Accelerate Books Founder

Last updated on: July 24, 2018 at 1:29 pm   By Jack Lee

Recently, I was given the opportunity to ask A.K. Alexander of Accelerate Books a few questions. I first heard of Accelerate Books after some friends were talking about it on Facebook; I was immediately interested. As a husband, father, full-time employee, and blogger I find it hard to find time to read all the books on my reading list. Not to mention, it is challenging to retain all that I read in a useful, practical way. Interest piqued, I signed up.  A week or so later, I reached out to AB for this interview. Read more
