Of the churches and the reforming Church When I shared my recent experience regarding the clash of spiritual kingdoms, specifically the visceral friction encountered when a church elder refuted my diagnostic conclusion that the Church is in a state of deep apostasy, I expected resistance from the institution. What I forgot was the sheer scaleContinue reading “Regarding being “Born again””

What Would John Owen Say to the Church Today?
It is a peculiar and exhausting feature of our generation that stating the blindingly obvious has become a radical act. We live in a twilight era of the Western church where the doctrinal baseline has dropped so precipitously that standard, historic faithfulness is routinely diagnosed as extremism. If you hold to the plain text ofContinue reading “What Would John Owen Say to the Church Today?”

Pleading Ignorance Won’t Save the Modern Church
When God judges the nations, it will not be a slow, manageable transition. It will be sudden, catastrophic, and final. If you are staying in places of unfaithful practice and compromise just because the building has a familiar name, you must wake up. Pleading ignorance is no longer an option.
A Call to National Repentance: An Address to the Banner of Truth
The content discusses the author’s reflections on the fear of man, particularly its impact within the church. During a call with Iain Murray, the author shares a prophetic experience that prompts concerns about a lack of corporate repentance observed at the 2025 Banner of Truth conference. The author critiques the focus on individual comfort over the urgent need for collective lament and a radical response to the Church’s spiritual state, expressing disappointment over a fundraising initiative overshadowing the call to repentance.
Which Eschatology?
Dispensationalism, Post-millennialism and Amillennialism are increasingly untenable. Historic Premillennialism is what I am most persuaded by. But why? In short: the Church’s weakness isn’t a sign that God’s plan is failing, but that the stage is being set for the final act: the endurance of the saints through the “great falling away” followed by theContinue reading “Which Eschatology?”
The Sound of Silence: Ryle, Lloyd-Jones, and the British Exile
What is going on? AI transcript in question here. A friend recently challenged my central polemic of God Closed Church, doubting that such giants of the faith as J. C. Ryle and Martyn Lloyd-Jones would find common ground with a thesis he deemed too “radical”. Yet, when we subject this claim to a logic-driven exchangeContinue reading “The Sound of Silence: Ryle, Lloyd-Jones, and the British Exile”
Reaching Out to Our Deceived Young People
The Esther 4:14 Fallacy: Destiny or Discipleship? In a recent episode of Into the Pray, Mairi and I challenge the modern “seeker-sensitive” church’s habit of cherry-picking scripture for motivation rather than transformation. Using the iconic story of Esther, we looked at the common interpretation of one of the Bible’s most famous verses.
When we tell young people this lie…
When the likes of Alpha, HTB, Life Church and all other ecumenical/seeker-sensitive “churches” teach our young people that “going hard after God” looks like this, I can only pray this:
Ruth, Fertility & the Fear of Man
