April 18th, 1521. Martin Luther was on trial for believing the Scriptures were the ultimate authority for the Christian, rather than dogma developed by men. He is quoted as having said, “My conscience is captive to the Word of God” when asked to recant his writings. I’ve taken part of Luther’s statement as my title because while I am thankful to God for myriad men in the Reformed Baptist world that have taught me much, I cannot claim full allegiance to a document written in the 17th century; it beingmostly right. The Word of God – alone! – demands and warrants our full ...

The Dark Ages was a millennium, running from approximately 500 (Rome fell in 476) to 1500 AD (Martin Luther’s 95 Theses were written in 1517); being a three-fold darkness: spiritual, physical, and educational. “One must be accustomed to the light, at least in some measure, to be able to judge of the darkness. A blind man can have no idea of the extent of the darkness around him. It is the same as to moral and spiritual darkness. A person must have some acquaintance with the light of scripture in order to discern the darkness around him. Thus, alas, during the ages under consideration, ...

This book is not a commentary on Isaiah, filled with word studies and detailed exegesis of the text; although it does have a few word studies and some exegesis of the text. It's not a devotional, full of personal application exhortations; although it does have some personal application and exhortations. This book, the Gospel in Isaiah, is a thematic walk through Isaiah, focusing on the dual vision of God's punishment and redemption of His earthly, time-bound covenant people and the contrast with the persecution by the world and God's redemption of His spiritual, eternal covenant people ...

Dispensationalism is not merely an end-times system. It is, according to the words of well-known advocates, a hermeneutic all by itself. This is why dispensationalism cannot be ignored as if it were a discussion over non-essentials. This book is an anthology of testimonies of those who have left that system behind, explaining how they found a better way to see the Lord Jesus in Scripture.

As we come to the book of Romans, we see that it is one of several epistles written by Paul, the apostle. He wrote approximately two thirds of the New Testament. This letter was written about ten years into Paul’s ministry and about ten years from his death. The foundation of the New Covenant church had mostly been laid by the other apostles; Paul was visiting and writing to various churches to make sure they were walking out what had been taught to them. It is common in Paul’s writings for the first part of a letter to be theological and the last part to be practical, applying the ...

Peter exhorts us to be sober minded as the end of all things draws near; rather than stocking up to survive the zombie apocalypse or trying to escape the madness of this world, Scripture tells us to be disciplined for prayer and intensely love each other. As evidence of the end of the world crowds our vision, we are to serve each other, being hospitable in word and deed; we are to speak the Word of God to all people. All things must be done in the strength of God and not our own strength – and all must be done to glorify the Father and the Son and the Spirit.
