Sovereign properly means possessing all authority—ruling freely without any higher power over you. That doesn’t mean God merely watches from a distance, nor that His creatures are turned into robots. Scripture teaches that God actively governs all things according to His will (Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 1:3), yet we still act as real, responsible agents. Compatibilism … Read more
God is glorified in the faithful proclamation of His word. In 2 Corinthians 2:15-16, Paul wrote, “For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life” (LSB). God is glorified when sinners repent, in the display of His just wrath, and in the offering of mercy to those who hate Him.
With what we’ve examined so far, it seems to me Our Brother was seeking an experience and didn’t find it. Nothing in his letter about “Why I Left Reformed Theology” lends confidence to an understanding of what he was drawn to or departed from.

Let’s explore these topics in greater detail. Harmonization of the Bible Some may wonder if the diverse accounts in the Bible can truly be harmonized. Ultimately, the … Read more
Abortion abolitionists, Christians, should expose evil, not hide it. Apathy is wicked. It’s not loving our preborn neighbor to turn a blind-eye to their plight. Likewise, it is written in Ephesians 5:11, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of the darkness, but instead expose them.” By exposing evil, we glorify God by creating clear … Read more
If salvation can be lost, then why is one “saved” and not “might be saved”? To say one is “saved” implies they are now safe from the danger which once would destroy them. If salvation can be lost, it’s not salvation. While some may argue there are passages in the Bible which teach salvation is … Read more
When Moses asked, “Who should I say sent me?” God replied with, what I think is one of, if not the most, profound explanations of who He is ever. God said to Moses, “I AM who I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” … Read more
