It is said that we can’t love God like that, or that we don’t always love God like that. Is that true to Scripture? Matt 22:37-40 reads, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” This is an emphatic statement, one that is attached to eternal lif

Andrew Jackson was president of the United States of America from 1829-1837. He was the 7th president of the republic. The Battle of New Orleans had made Andrew Jackson a national hero overnight. But earthly accomplishments and mere battle field victories can never fill the void that exists in a lost man's soul. Besides, the humble general had more sense than the editors of Laissez Faire Books concerning the ultimate cause for his victory, acknowledging to a friend, "It appea

The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) was started in the 1920's to provide humanitarian aid to starving Mennonites in Russia, a task it pursued until 1925. The goal of MCC was never to come across as a gospel preaching-priority organization but to be humanitarian, even though they attempted to portray themselves as a combination of both. After a brief period of dormancy in the 1920's, it was reactivated to help Mennonite refugees from Russia who had fled to Germany and need

Too often we have encountered the false belief that the true and living God of the Bible (Jehovah, though He is known by many other names) is the same God as the god of Islam (Allah). We find this astonishing and unbelievable. The differences are so vast, so magnanimous really, almost no greater difference could exist. One could liken it to the contrast of Heaven and Hell. Matter of fact, it is indeed a contrast between Satan and God. Islam is the “religion” of Satan in all i

"John Stephen Piper (born Jan 11, 1946) is a Reformed theologian, pastor, and chancellor of Bethlehem College and Seminary in Minneapolis, MN.

I used to think the “carnal Christian” teaching to be true, that there was such a thing as a “carnal Christian,” a third category of man, but I didn’t learn it from the Bible but from the teachings of man. Over a decade ago I purposed to read through the Bible six times over the year, and my oh my were my eyes ever opened to some serious heresies being taught under my nose within IFB churches (“evangelical” and Protestant churches are thoroughly apostate, so they are MUCH wor

This slogan (or some version of it) is familiar to most; it is an old one. The complete statement, "In Essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love" comes from Augustine (354-430 AD) over 1,500 years ago, the apostate father of Calvinism and Roman Catholicism. As we look at Scripture, do we see God take this same attitude about all of his teachings? Do you even take the same attitude when the restaurant missed our special order? “I said no mustard on my

Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, “is Lord of all” (Ac 10:36). To be saved He must be received as Lord of all your life. That entails certain things, not just lip service. Jesus taught that saving faith involves commitment or surrender (as seen in a number of Scripture such as Matt. 10:32-39; 16:24-26; Mk. 8:34-38; Lk. 9:23-26, 57-62; 13:23-30; 14:15–15:32; 17:7-33; 18:9-32; 19:1-10, 12-27; Jn. 12:24-25) as did Paul (e.g. Ac. 14:15-16; Phil. 2:10-11, illustra

Keith (actually Jillian Keith) and Kristyn Getty are husband and wife hailing from Northern Ireland. They have become very well known as singers and songwriters especially for their song “In Christ Alone.” “Up to 100 million people worldwide sing Keith Getty’s hymns in church services each year” (“Hitting the right notes,” Belfast Telegraph , Aug. 11, 2018).

Some reasons among many why John Hagee, pastor of the 18,000-member Cornerstone Megachurch in San Antonio, TX, and the founder of, well, John Hagee Ministries, is a heretic and ravening wolf in sheep's clothing, that should be rejected in accordance to God’s Word (cf. Rom 16:17-18; 2 Jn 1:9-11). His post-secondary education on its own reflects the heresy that would become part and parcel of his ministry: Southwestern Assemblies of God University, Trinity University, and the U
