The Rise Of The New World
"Instead of allowing these two competing visions of human redemption to exist side by side forever, God publicly and decisively removed the former and established the latter as the way, the truth, and the life so that no one could come to the Father by Judaism, but only ever by Jesus Christ."
It’s The End Of “The World”
"Instead of traveling to Jerusalem and worshiping God in a temple, in the new world, men and women will worship God in local churches, and God Himself will come in and take up residence in our own hearts by the Holy Spirit. God will no longer remain at a distance in the backroom of the temple as He did in the old world but will transform His people into walking and talking holy of holies, where He delights in dwelling within them forever."

Abandoning the Loser Gospel: How the Book of Acts Proves an Eschatology of Victory

The War For The Soul Of The World
"This was no accident in human history. This is not the story of a band of losers bumbling along in a world getting increasingly rotten until the Savior tractor beams His people back home to the mothership.

How Israel’s Hymns Prove Postmillennialism
“If you want to learn what a culture values, and if you're going to understand the worldview that underpins a nation, then you must look no further than their songs. No matter what the whompyjawed ideologues say behind fake smiles and teleprompters, and no matter what manufactured narratives are peddled by the bobbleheaded pundits in the fake news media, the hopes and dreams of a people will be found most clearly stated in their anthems, ballads, and refrains. If you want to know what a society believes in, where their hopes lie, what they think about the purpose of life, and why we are all here, then pay attention to the lyrics and hymns they produce. It will be telling."

Traces of Defeatism: A Critique Of Amillennialism
In "Traces of Defeatism," I examine how some of the interpretations and assumptions in amillennialism act like trace elements of poison in the Church's bloodstream, subtly undermining our mission by instilling a defeatist mindset.

Merry Christmas… This Means War!
“He was bringing war because this old world had fallen into bitter, soul-crushing slavery to an evil dragon. A serpent of great beguiling who tricked our only king into trading in his scepter for over-tight handcuffs... His crown for rusty chains. On that first Christmas morning, after legions of failed men who came before Him, the heaven-sent God-Man was born the royal Man-King. Delivered as a helpless babe to deliver and set the helpless free.”
