[John Piper often defines Christian Hedonism by saying that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. But what does he mean by the word “satisfied” or “satisfaction”? In this article he recently posted at www.desiringgod.org he tells us.] This is good for me to be pressed to ponder a term that I ordinarily use, because I consider it self-explanatory. Sometimes those are the very terms that would be most fruitful to at least t...Read More ➔

Cessationists continue to appeal to 2 Corinthians 12:12 in defense of their view. There Paul says that “the signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.” If these latter phenomena were “the signs of a true apostle,” supernatural events that none but apostles could perform, it would only make sense that once the apostles were themselves no longer present, the supernatural signs that...Read More ➔

Good question. Justin Peters claims to know the answer, and he says No. On a recent podcast that at the time I viewed it had garnered more than 100,000 views, Peters confidently declares that Hinn is destined for hell. The focus of the podcast is whether or not Hinn has truly repented of teaching the prosperity message. A couple of years ago Hinn said that he now repudiates that doctrine, that when he hears it, it makes him feel as if he could vomit. But Peters has more...Read More ➔

At the conclusion of his first epistle, the Apostle Peter says that he has “written briefly,” “exhorting and declaring that his is the true grace of God” (1 Pet. 5:12). He then concludes with this brief exhortation: “Stand firm in it!” All of us regularly encounter countless obstacles and opposition and temptations and excuses and seemingly reasonable grounds for compromise or that would appear to justify backing off from the grace of...Read More ➔

On July 26, 2023, a former U. S. Intelligence official by the name of David Grusch testified before the House Oversight Committee concerning the existence of so-called Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or what we until now have referred to as UFO’s. He claimed that the government is in possession of multiple UAP’s as well as several “nonhuman biologics” recovered from these crashed UAP’s. Then, last week, September 1 of this year, one of th...Read More ➔

There is a deeply disturbing, dare I say, heretical, trend in some circles of professing evangelical believers. I say “professing” believers because I’m beginning to wonder if those who embrace the view that I have in mind can truly be born again believers in Jesus. But I’ll leave that for each of you to judge, if you so choose. The perspective I have in mind is the repudiation by many of the authority of the Old Testament Scriptures. The OT, the...Read More ➔

Michael Kruger August 21, 2023 The Old Testament has run into some hard times as of late. It’s seen by many as a curmudgeonly, legalistic, violent, confusing, and, maybe most of all, boring sort of book. As the atheist Richard Dawkins famously opined, “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction.” On top of these sorts of complaints are questions about the historical veracity of the Old Testament. Are we r...Read More ➔

Yesterday, John Piper was interviewed by Matt Tully of Crossway about the significance of his book, Don’t Waste Your life. At the conclusion of their time together, Matt asked John this question: “So John, as you reflect over your seven decades of life and ministry, what would you say are a few great things—the few great things—that have mastered you?” I was overwhelmed with joy and sheer amazement at his answer. I pray you will be as well....Read More ➔
