Introducing Revelation

“Revelation is not a book of fear. It is a book of victory. It is the conquest of Christ, the expansion of His Kingdom with His bride, the Church, and the destruction of His enemies who get crushed beneath His feet. Every chapter declares His dominion—He reigns, He conquers, and His people overcome with Him. That is what the book of Revelation is all about.”

Of Sex and Cisterns (How Adultery and Sexual Stagnancy Ruin Marriages)

Sex will either be a glory or a grave. It will either nourish and strengthen your marriage, or it will destroy and enslave. The choice is yours: will you squander this gift in reckless waste, or will you let it grow stagnant through neglect? Or will you drink deeply, rejoicing in the good gift of intimacy as God intended?

The Rapture Is Unbiblical

"Stop worrying about a rapture that will never happen. Stop waiting for an escape that was never promised. Stop wasting your days gazing at the sky when Christ has called you to put your hands to the plow. Take responsibility. Lead your family. Build your community. Shape the culture. Take dominion."

Biblical Patriarchy: Dispelling the Myths and Embracing God’s Design

Last time, I outlined the shortcomings of using “complementarianism” to summarize what Scripture teaches about manhood and womanhood, arguing for “biblical patriarchy” instead. This post explains what biblical patriarchy is and isn’t, so we can shed our negative misconceptions of patriarchy and embrace it for the blessing it is.

Rethinking The Rapture

"Jesus isn't coming back to rescue a defeated church—He is returning for a victorious bride. The Church is not an intermission in Jewish history. We are the Israel of God, and we are in the main event. The gates of hell do not advance against us. We are the ones who will see them fall as we march ever onward."

The Great Trumpet Blast

"The dispensationalists can keep looking at the sky, waiting for their heavenly airlift. They can keep sitting in their bunkers, flipping through prophecy charts, waiting for a trumpet that has already blown. But the rest of us? We go to war. We march forward. We proclaim the Gospel. We conquer the nations. We tear down every wall, every stronghold, every false kingdom, every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of Christ. Because the trumpet has sounded. The Kingdom has come. The battle belongs to the Lord. And His dominion will never end."

Doubt Your Doubts

"The next time doubts rise up, don’t let them have the last word. Doubt your doubts instead. Challenge them with the truth of God’s Word. Speak these promises over yourself, even if your heart struggles to believe them at first. Let them drown out the noise of the chatterbox and fill your mind with the voice of your Shepherd, who calls you by name (John 10:3)."
