During my daily excursions through the Bible I came across Jeremiah Chapter 29 and I wanted to share some truths that I learned. We ALL know that Jeremiah 29:11-13 was spoken directly to us, in this present day and age, and so I was thinking “What specifically ARE the plans that God has for us? … Read more
There is a saying in Christendom that goes something like this “God will never give you more than you can handle”. This is a mantra that is repeated over and over as a way of building up the willpower to overcome an especially difficult situation. As it were, there is a struggle and a weight … Read more
By now, most anyone who follows the Ergun Caner saga has heard about the situation that occurred at FBC Woodstock on July 27th, 2014. It was a sad ending to the announcement back in May that Johnny Hunt would be having Caner preach in his pulpit. This came as a shock to many of us … Read more
The letter of 2 Corinthians demonstrates probably more than any other epistle the personality of the Apostle Paul. We see a pastoral heart, the interests of a man who poured his sweat, tears, and soul into founding a local body of believers in a city full of idolatry and wickedness. He is now years removed … Read more
Following on the heels of a public revelation that Johnny Hunt has invited Ergun Caner to speak to his church (which itself is following on the heels of an email released in which Hunt acknowledges Caner’s career of lies), we now have confirmation that a prominent staff member at First Baptist Church in Woodstock, Georgia … Read more
If you’re anything like me, it’s not an uncommon thing to receive invitations to donate to some cause of other. It seems that wherever we go we are being entreated to give to some fund or charity, and that our mailboxes are full of letters asking for donations to this cause or that. People inside … Read more
When a sinner goes to God’s house and pretends to pray to Him and praise Him, he displays a brazen-facedness of the worst kind! Sadly, since the day of my new birth I have…worshiped him in a slovenly manner. – Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening My grandfather was of the generation that wore their ‘Sunday … Read more
The internet is abuzz today with the news that recent astronomical events signify an important world event that is about to happen – and may even signify the end of the world. This is, in part, due to a recent book by John Hagee capitalizing on this event, called Four Blood Moons. The book is … Read more
Tony Miano recently wrote an article titled “Abortion Abolition is Not the Gospel“. As far as that goes, we agree with Miano: abolition is not the Gospel. We have said the same thing ourselves on numerous occasions. We are Gospel-centered, and as we have explained to our critics before, we believe that the work of … Read more
In the Modern Day Downgrade: A Call for Repentance to Southern Baptists and Other Evangelicals that I delivered at the 2013 Reformation Montana conference, I mentioned what I’ve since come to call ‘Joe Aguillard’s Final Solution.’ In that message in May of last year, I asserted that Joe Aguillard presented a “false flag” of a … Read more
How could Brewton-Parker trustees justify hiring a man who has been caught on a multitude of audio and video recordings lying about himself (and has been aggressively unrepentant) to run their Christian college?

This post will be in JD’s featured regular column, Discernment Review, in the Intermountain Christian News. When I reviewed the Harry Potter Bible Study on the Intermountain Christian News, I didn’t give it a favorable review.
