The Wrath Of God Is A Fury Of Fire
Many Christians wrongly believe that the only good motivation for obedience to Christ comes from hearing about grace, rather than hearing about judgment. These people allow this misinformed belief to distort their view of God, until there are no theological categories left to comprehend, let alone love, a God whose wrath against sinners “is a fury of fire.” The Scripture clearly teaches that God is not mildly upset about sin, but passionately furious. Hebrews 10:26-31 stands against the false assumption that the only motivating news is good news. For every true follower of Christ, there is both the promise of joy and the warnings of judgment. This is a message of God that our world today does not want to hear. And sadly, this message of God is even despised by many in the church.

Justification, Sanctification, & Advancing The Crown Rights Of King Jesus

Antinomianism: How Evangelicalism Defends Its Lawlessness
The “law” which the author references in the beginning of Hebrews 10:1, is not a reference to the Moral Law (the 10 Commandments). The Moral Law is not a shadow of future blessings, but an eternal system of perfect precepts; the holiness it requires is not figurative, but truly good and truly right. Furthermore, the principles of the Moral Law …
Limited Atonement & 1689 Covenant Theology
Not a single drop of Christ’s blood will ever be found in hell. Likewise, not a single prayer of Christ’s intercession will ever be found to have been wasted on the non-elect.

American Evangelicalism | How It Broke & How To Fix It (Part 2)
For the last few decades, American Evangelicalism has been obsessed with all that is BIG, FAST, FLASHY, and FAMOUS. In contrast, 2 Timothy 2:2 says, “What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” So Paul entrusted certain things to Timothy; Timothy was charged to …

The Tabernacle, The Mercy Seat, & 1689 Federalism
The Tabernacle (and later the Temple) was constructed under the direction of Moses, according to the detailed instructions he received from God on Mount Sinia (or Mount Horeb). The “First Section” of the Tabernacle (the Holy Place), stands in distinction from the “Second Section” (the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies). This is not meant to signify two …
The New Covenant | 100% Success Rate
Under the New Covenant, the will of God is written not just on tablets of stone, but on the minds and hearts of all God’s people. God not only replaces shadows with substance, but he also takes that substance and places it within his people. He writes it on our hearts. In other words, God does not merely lay his …
All Of Life Is Worship | Hebrews 7:26-28
The main point is that Jesus is no ordinary, weak, sinful, dying, priest. He is strong, pure, sinless, and has an indestructible life. He is the Son of God. Jesus Christ has not just come to fit into the earthly system of the priesthood as the greatest and final human priest. Rather, he has come to fulfill and end this …
Assurance & Sanctification | Hebrews 6:9-20
Even the Apostle John, when he saw Jesus in his glory, “fell at his feet like a dead man” (Revelation 1:17). However, verse 28 of our text clearly communicates that for those who abide in Christ, the dominant mood will be confidence when Christ appears. So how is this possible? The author to the Hebrews answers this question by saying …
