As a former Roman Catholic whom in His mercy and grace the Lord delivered from its spiritual bondage into the glorious liberty of the sons of God—and this through absolutely zero effort or seeking Him on my part—I know very well what soli Deo gloria means. And the Roman Catholic Church ain’t even in the […]

In his 2007 sermon A Nation Abandoned by God Dr. John MacArthur, one of the finest teachers of the Bible in our gelatinous generation, says: One of the most tragic scenes in the Bible and yet one of the most familiar to us is the scene of the strongest man who ever lived, a man […]

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery… You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from Him Who calls you.  A little leaven leavens the whole lump. (Galatians 5:1, 7-9, ESV) Filed Under: Just How […]

We had to search high and low to find it; ok, so actually Apprising Ministries happened to stumble upon this over at Slaughter of the Sheep.

While taking at shot at, my friend and the founder of Christian Research Net, Ingrid Schlueter over at Bore’s Boar’s Head Tavern, possibly purposely, Lutheran priest Paul McCain first misrepresents her fine ministry Slice of Laodicea and then whines: I’m thinking that people who spend nearly every waking moment on a “crusade” to point out all that is wrong in the […]
