Recently in the world of Reformed theology, there has been a resurgence of interest in the subject of Theology Proper. This has largely been driven by criticisms leveled by Particular Baptists like James Dolezal, who have identified a trajectory of departure within certain quarters of Reformed theology. As of late, well known Westminster Professor, Scott… Continue reading The Folly of Denying Eternal Generation or Eternal Procession

Recently, I was struck by something I saw at church. I was on stage as part of the band and I saw a woman standing next to her son. As she raised her hands, clapped, and so on, her son kept a laser focus on her and followed her actions as close as he could.… Continue reading Be Imitators

God can do whatever He wants. The end. Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. Psalms 115:3, ESV Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed my article! Now, I absolutely could end it there and everything in the article would be absolutely true, but let’s go over a few particulars when… Continue reading Most Free God

For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground. For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You shall therefore be holy,… Continue reading Be Holy, As I Am Holy.

I recently had a conversation with an egalitarian that I thought would serve for a good jumping-off point for a quick post about hermeneutics and exegesis. Over the course of the conversation, the standard proof-texts for and against complementarianism were tossed out. As it usually does, we ended up butting heads over the interpretation of… Continue reading Why the “Usurp Authority” Argument Doesn’t Work (1 Timothy 2:12)

Psalm 147:5, ESV As with the other communicable attributes of God (attributes that God, in some respect, shares with His creation), the gap between us and God is not merely one of quantity, but one of quality. Before we dive in, let’s… Continue reading Mighty in Power

Over the last two parts of this three-part series, I covered two broad concepts. First, that God is invisible, and we cannot see Him. Second, the second commandment forbids the fashioning of any representation of God. We can’t see God, and we can’t create images of what we think God looks like. Now, one objection… Continue reading The Visible and Invisible Part III

It is certain that it forbids making any image of God (for to whom can we liken him? Isaiah 40:15,18), or the image of any creature for a religious use. It is called the changing of the truth of God into a lie (Romans 1:25), for an image is a teacher of lies it insinuates… Continue reading The Visible and Invisible Part II
