Jerry Walls is probably best known for his 2004 book with Joseph Dongell titled, Why I am not a Calvinist. He has since written a number of other books, and if I were a continuationist exercising my prophetic prowess I might predict a future publication by Walls entitled, Why I am not a Christian, for … Read more
“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” Acts 2:42 There is little argument that the post-modern persona of the “church” has been grotesquely deformed from what the first-century bride of Christ looked like. The church has been prostituted. Her visible face is no … Read more
Alright, I need to talk to the Calvinists out there. Stop with the John Piper memes for five minutes and gather ’round; it’s time for a family discussion. Like you, I came to Calvinism by the mercy and grace of God. I’m one of you. I named one of my daughters Piper. I named another of … Read more

I read an article that gave the links to around twenty other news agencies that were reporting on a Pro-Life rally. All but one of the articles linked had the exact same story written out. There was some effort to tweak the details but it was obvious that there was a certain national agenda being … Read more
Sam Allberry, an editor for The Gospel Coalition and a global speaker for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM), recently wrote an article at The Gospel Coalition entitled, What Christianity Alone Offers Transgender Persons.

You should keep watching, listening and reading WWUTT material. It’s pretty good. That being said, I’ve been wanting to add two cents to the recent discussion surrounding a brief but brusque soundbite on a recent WWUTT podcast. While critiquing Nabeel Qureshi’s affinity for Word-Faith and Montanist cult, Bethel Church Redding, Gabriel Hughes said… “…and Nabeel … Read more

If our church members fall into the habit of frequenting the theatre, we shall soon have them going much further in the direction of vice, and they will lose all relish for the ways of God. If theatre-going became general among professing Christians, it would be the death of piety. Yet one finds the taste … Read more

(Today, of course, this genre is headlined not by Dominican papists, but by the heresy-hurling likes … Read more
It appears that Clayton Jennings’ “ministry” may be at an end, at least for now. With the way celebrity, Christianity seems to work anyone can be “restored” back into ministry if they spend enough time in Purgatory. If you haven’t been following what has been happening with Clayton Jennings, please read these articles written by … Read more
“so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.” 2 Timothy 3:8 When the imprisoned, soon-to-be-martyred Paul wrote his final letter to Timothy, effectively passing the mantle of ministry to his young protégé, he warned the young disciple about the imminent persecution that would come “in the last days.” The … Read more
