The Bible does not hold up the saints of those eras as enjoying more successful prayer lives than ours.

Alien worldviews in the church have rendered it impotent against an unbelieving cultural onslaught.

Kingdom advancement is the goal of Christian life on earth. 

A short autobiographical message on the power of prayer to change a life. 

All of those justified in Jesus Christ are eternally secure, but all who abandon the Faith are without hope and destined to eternal judgment. 

No single human factor contributes more to the advance of Christ’s kingdom than mighty, faith-drenched, persevering prayer. 

Every generation historically claims it lives in unprecedented times, but certain aspects of our times are in fact objectively unprecedented, and they are unprecedentedly evil as a result of one great philosophical twist and one great ecclesial heresy. The Christian calling is to overturn these ideational errors, restore the Faith, and take back the West for Jesus Christ.

Western civilization and its multitudinous blessings are unthinkable apart from Christendom. As the West abandons Christianity, it cuts itself off from the societal lifeblood that makes it possible. It’s a form of cultural suicide. 

God’s grace is not individualistically soteriological. He saves only those who trust in His Son, but His grace is so powerful and pervasive that it gradually transforms all of culture and life. We must be Genesis 1-2 Christians, not Genesis 3 Christians. 

The ontic Trinity is not a hierarchy, and the Holy Spirit is every bit as great as the Father and Son. Subordinating his greatness is both heretical and blasphemous. 

Positing good works as a means of justification is apostate moralism. Refusing to posit good works as an inescapable fruit of justification is apostate antinomianism. 

Forgiveness rarely restores us to the previous glory, and nothing short of a white-hot devotion to Jesus Christ will suffice to protect us from evil. 

The oldest, most pernicious, and most persistent Christian heresy has now become the underlying heresy of our culture. Expressive individualism, same-sex “marriage,” “transgenderism,” and Cultural Marxism are all deeply Gnostic.

Why is the church great? Because it is (1) the custodian of orthodoxy, (2) the community of memory, (3) God’s prized possession, and (4) God’s agency for victory in history.

The old, classical Marxism was about coercive  economic equality. The new cultural Marxism is about coercive (un)ethical equality. And Critical Race Theory is about coercive racial inequality, a new form of dangerous racism.

The failure of today’s church is principally a failure of leadership. The cure: mighty men of God, bold, sacrificial, devout, exemplary, Bible-drenched, prayer-addicted, church-loving. 

The modern conservative church has been plagued by pessimistic, unbelieving, and anorexic eschatology. The biblical hope of a glorious future on the earth should animate all we do.

The Marxist gospel is good news to lazy, irresponsible, envious rebels. It must be demolished by the biblical Gospel.

Jesus Christ is great for many, many reasons. Here are two of them: he is the mediator of creation, and exercises his Lordship over all the cosmos. Second, he loves righteousness and hates lawlessness.This is the Lord that we serve, and his greatness in these matters and all others is incomparable.

The Bible does not so much hold up prayer as great, but answered prayer. The failure of church and Christianity in culture, and the failures of our lives, are largely due to our lack of bold, uncompromising, fervent prayer based on the promises of the Word of God.
