Fundamentalism, modernism, scholasticism, and postmodernism are bad ways of interpreting the Bible. The canonical or covenantal or worldview-ish way is the only right way.

A brief, direct, easy-to-understand explanation of one of the most harmful ways of thinking in the modern church. 

A recognition of “the near impossibility of simple refutations” might lead to a mutual laying down of arms in the acrimonious sacrament wars of paedobaptists (and paedocommunionists) versus credobaptists (and credocommunionists).

If you’re discouraged and distraught over the surrounding depraved culture or persistent, personal difficulties, you might be helped by this bold, full-throated, biblical defense postmillenialism.

The Battle for Reality is even more pressing than The Battle for the Bible. 

No matter how dire our situation, Jesus Christ is our utterly impregnable hope, and to rely on anyone or anything else is an insecure confidence. 

We are saved by Christ and his redemptive work alone, but our salvation inevitably produces godly works. None who live after salvation will enjoy eternal life if they lack good works.  We are justified by a working faith. 

To know God’s calling in your life, immerse yourself in the manual of his cosmic operating system. 

What is a Christian worldview, and what is its primary competitor in the Western world today? 

The protology and eschatology of the Bible include promises of the advancement and victory of Christ‘s kingdom before the final, perfected eternal state. We must live as victorious people — because we are.

The Bible festers with God’s promises to his people, and living consistently in those promises means living in consistent hope and victory. 

Creation is the backdrop and prerequisite of our Lord’s redemptive work, and to bypass creation is eventually to overturn the gospel. 

The optimal time to trust Christ and serve God is childhood and youth, not middle and old age. God‘s preventive grace is greater than his recovering and grace, and the apex testimony of God‘s work in the world is children and young people serving him with unremitting zeal.

Salvation is much bigger than most Christians suppose. Unless we see salvation (as Paul does in Ephesians) in its personal, corporate, and cosmic dimensions, our view will be impoverished. 

To live in an atmosphere of prayers to live in constant expectation for God to do both small and mighty things. To live in this atmosphere of prayer is to live a transformed, victorious life.

The family is a part of the creational OS. The blinding assaults against it in postmodern culture (socially constructed sexuality, homosexuality, gender reassignment surgery, and so on) are assaults on reality itself. 

Widespread biblical law presupposes a Christian culture and society, and that culture and society will inevitably lead to biblical law. 

Satan attempts to replace God’s very good created world with his diabolical alt-world. The goal of aggressive Christianity is to destabilize, delegitimize, and decimate his world.

The biblical God is often consumed by zeal, and his holy jealousy fuels his zeal, which burns against the ungodly and rescues his people. 

To think correctly as a Christian you must first think correctly about creation. 

This talk to Christian high school students at the Worldview Leadership Academy is the simplest, most basic presentation I’ve ever given of the dominant, secular elite vision of our time. 

Want to be liberated from the intellectual tyranny of the present? Know the worldviews that created our postmodern world. 

Behind the Marxism distinctive to our time is the towering shadow of Hegel and his dialectical view of reality. 

The utopian revolutionaries are savaging every last residue of Christian culture, and the church’s double-decker Christianity has abetted the savagery. 

It’s not possible to properly grasp biblical worldview or theology without grasping covenant and kingdom.
