Dive deep into the foundational doctrine of Original Sin with Original Sin: Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ. This comprehensive theological work, part of the Sentinel GPT Project, offers a rigorous, Bible-centered analysis built exclusively upon the King James Version. Author David Michael Curtis employs the unique Sentinel Threefold System (UAD)—Uncovering Philosophical Fallacies, Analyzing Logical Fallacies, and Defending Truth through the KJV Topical Bible Study Method—to dismantle human traditions and construct a solid understanding of sin, redemption, and the new life in ...

The sacred meal that is part of our faith does more than connect us to the holy, it connects us to each other. "I think Jesus wanted his disciples and everyone who came after him to remember what they had together. What they made together. What it meant to be together. How the things he did...

The question before us is not whether repentance matters. Scripture commands repentance, godly sorrow is real, and the believer’s life includes ongoing humbling before God. The question is where repentance and confession are allowed to sit in the structure of the gospel. When repentance becomes a hinge that turns forgiveness on and off—when confession is treated as the mechanism by which pardon is obtained or regained—then even evangelical language can drift into a practical re-legalization of the Christian life. This is precisely the danger Old School Baptists repeatedly resisted, ...

Stop Working for Wages. Start Claiming Your Inheritance. Are you living as a servant trying to earn God's favor through the Law, or as a Joint-Heir resting in a finished inheritance? In a theological landscape dominated by commercialized fear and legalistic burdens, The Seed and the Inheritance presents a rigorous, devastating challenge to the two pillars of modern confusion: Dispensationalism and Sabbatarianism. Built exclusively on the King James Version of the Bible, this book acts as a legal brief, dismantling the "covenant of works" and re-establishing the believer’s standing on the ...

In broad strokes, the document shows that “eternal vital union” among Old School Baptists is not a random oddity but a specific way of talking about how Christ and his people are related in eternity, and how that relation intersects with Adam, the fall, and time-bound regeneration. At its core, eternal vital union is the claim that the elect are not merely decreed or foreseen in Christ, but that they truly stand to him as children to a Head in an eternal, living relation before the world began. In Gilbert Beebe’s pieces, that union is pushed very far: the elect are an “eternal seed,...

Longtime pastor Douglas Wilson takes a hammer to some of our very favorite graven images, and (surprise, surprise) we've set up display cases for most of them in our churches: liturgy, tradition, systematics, infant baptism, and that crafty old Baal doctrine. Alongside a critique of philosophical assumptions about human nature, dualism, and grace, Wilson stresses the unavoidable and absolute necessity of individual hearts being born again. He concludes by laying out the case for the church.

How do Christians account for the widespread presence of goodness in a fallen world? Richard Mouw, one of the most influential evangelical voices in America, presents his mature thought on the topic of common grace. Addressing a range of issues relevant to engaging common grace in the 21st century, Mouw shows how God takes delight in all things that glorify him - even those that happen beyond the boundaries of the church-and defends the doctrine of common grace from its detractors.

The apostle Paul begins his exhortation on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6 by calling believers to strength—not in themselves—but in the Lord and in the power of His might. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10). He then commands them to “put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). This call is not passive. It is a militant cry to readiness in the face of a cunning and relentless enemy. The very purpose of the armor of God is to enable the believer to stand ...

Did you know that God isn't expecting you to clean up your life? Shocking right? God's goal for you goes so much deeper than your actions, his goal is to give you something most people dream of...new life. All of us have things in our past that we are not proud of. We probably have some things in our present we aren't too fond of either. What if God's plan for you was to let the past be the past...literally count the old you who messed up as dead, and let a new, better you be reborn. Well, that is his plan! This book holds the best news I have ever heard.

Grace is everywhere, all around us, all of the time. We only need the ears to hear it and the eyes to see it. It is much easier and perhaps more helpful to describe what grace feels like through stories and images that illustrate the varied ways grace is experienced when encountered in the wild...

Love That Never Fails: The Case for Universal Reconciliation By Michael Del Brown Is eternal torment truly the final word of a loving God? For centuries, the doctrine of hell as unending conscious torment has cast a shadow over Christian theology—fueling fear, silencing questions, and painting God as more wrathful than merciful. But what if this picture is not only flawed, but unbiblical? In Love That Never Fails, former pastor and lifelong Bible teacher Michael Del Brown invites readers on a transformative journey through Scripture, history, and theology to rediscover the radical power ...

Any serious-minded reader of Scripture has probably observed that the current culture’s definition of what constitutes a Christian stands in stark contrast to the Bible’s description of true believers. There are several streams that feed into this river of confusion, but a key contributor is an inaccurate understanding of how a person actually becomes a Christian. In From Death to Life: How Salvation Works, Pastor Allen Nelson puts forth a biblical case for how a person passes from the realm of being an unbeliever, into the Kingdom of light. This work shows that such an understanding ...

In Greek, the root of “heretic” is αἱρέω / αἵρεσις, originally meaning “to choose” and then a choice, school, or party—a neutral term for a philosophical camp. Hellenistic Jews (like Josephus) use αἵρεσις for religious sects such as Pharisees and Sadducees. In the New Testament the word shifts: in Acts it can still mean “sect,” but in Paul’s lists it means factions that tear the church, and αἱρετικός (Titus 3:10) is the factious man who insists on his own line. In the 2nd–4th centuries, as the church confronts Gnostics, Marcionites, Arians, ...

You were created to walk in victory — secured by the blood of Jesus. We are living in a time of accelerating deception, spiritual confusion, and cultural upheaval. Yet none of this surprises our God. Before the foundation of the world, He prepared a victorious plan through Jesus Christ — a plan that broke the power of sin, darkness, death, and every weapon of the enemy. From the Passover meal to His triumphant resurrection, Jesus won decisive victories that are eternally recorded in the Courts of Heaven. These victories were sealed in His Blood Covenant — and as children of God, we ...

The book Conflicts Among the Tentacles of the Monster is a compact sociology-of-reform case study: it argues that the antebellum “benevolent empire” (Bible, tract, missions, temperance, abolition, education, etc.) projected a saintly public face while internally generating predictable power-struggles—because once a “cause” becomes an institution, it must fund itself, defend itself, and govern itself, and those needs incubate the same sins reformers claim to oppose. It maps the movement’s internal conflicts into recurring fault-lines. First is authority: church courts and local ...

Is God distant, untouched by our world—or is He actively engaged in it, responsive to our prayers, and personally invested in our stories? Can a timeless Creator actually change course in light of human choices? And what does it mean for that same God to take on flesh, walk among us, and suffer as one of us? God in Motion delivers two powerful books in one volume that pull back the curtain on two of Christianity’s most profound ideas. This accessible and captivating guide invites readers to explore a God who doesn’t merely reign from afar—but moves, responds, and dwells within ...

Infant Baptism; Family; and Covenant Status: Overview The document surveys the theological debate over infant baptism, family inclusion, and covenant membership, contrasting Presbyterian and Baptist (especially Old School Baptist) views. It covers biblical foundations, historical controversies, and practical issues like youth rebellion, church discipline, and the Halfway Covenant. Key Themes Infant Baptism and Covenant Status Presbyterians see baptism as a covenant sign, applied to the children of believers much like circumcision in Israel. Baptized infants are not presumed regenerate but ...

This book is a project in apagogic reasoning, a method of indirectly proving a position by demonstrating that its negation leads to contradiction and/or absurdity. It makes use of the answers to two questions: What does the doctrine of the Trinity according to the creeds of the church presuppose or require? and What are the logical consequences of a nontrinitarian monotheistic position? In this project, Christianity, or Scripturalism as a worldview, is treated as a system of true doctrines, true beliefs, and knowledge of God. God is the God of truth. The implications of assuming that the ...

The foundation of the Christian faith is built on Jesus Christ and his word to us, the Holy Bible. This Biblical Foundation Series includes elementary principles every Christian needs to help lay a strong spiritual foundation in his or her life. In this fifth Biblical Foundation book, we discover that it is grace that motivates God to offer us salvation even though we did not earn it. In fact, we cannot earn it; it is a gift. Our salvation comes as a gift of God’s grace, and it can be accessed by our response of faith. God’s grace is present in our lives to save us.
