Jericho could not put its trust in the courage of its people to take the offensive, so it trusted in the strength of its walls to provide a sturdy defense. Even in the midst of terror, Jericho placed trust in itself, not the Lord. And so Jericho was “shut up.” It did not possess the courage to deploy an attack, but neither did it possess the humility to offer surrender. None went out from the wall...

Pastor Joel Webbon shares his perspective of what will unfold during the next 5-10 years regarding the debate over Christian Nationalism/Mere Christendom.

A while back, James Lindsay raised several legitimate questions about Christian Nationalism. In this episode, Pastor Joel Webbon plainly answers them. 1) Sometimes Christian Nationalism suggests that we'll have some kind of magisterial state led by Christians. Which Christians? Who has the right theology? Who has the wrong theology? Creedal, not confessional; 5 Solas. 2) Do we get a state chur...

God will not be mocked, a man reaps what he sows. So too, this principle is true of nations. The nation that fears the Lord will be exalted.

God will defeat every one of his enemies. Some are defeated by grace - God mercifully causes these sinners to become his adopted sons. Others are defeated by justice.

This “man” who was standing before Joshua with his sword drawn in his hand was clearly no mere man, nor was he merely a created angel in human form. Instead, he was undoubtedly a Divine Person, physically manifest in the form of a man. Therefore, this is no one less than the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, manifested as a “theophany.” This reality is further clarified by the fact that Joshua pa...

Today we are re-airing one of our favorite older episodes with Pastor Doug Wilson. It’s clear that many within Evangelism aren’t exactly fans of Christian Nationalism. Their strategy to destroy the movement is simple: Draw a straight line from Christian Nationalism to “White” Nationalism. Unfortunately, some misguided Christian Nationalists seem to be making it easy for our opponents. Will Christi...

The circumcision of Israel, and their following observance of the Passover, signified the renewal of the covenant between Israel and God. In a similar fashion, my prayer is that in my lifetime I might be granted the privilege of witnessing a renewal of the covenant between America and God. This would not be the New Covenant, which God reserves only for individuals by regeneration. Neither would th...

It’s official, Pastor Joel affirms infant baptism!

Romans 1:24-32 is clear, when a society willfully chooses to reject God's truth in exchange for the lie, as well as reject God's glory in exchange for the glory of the creature, God promises to hand them over to their sins and the horrible consequences which will inevitably follow. Romans 1:18 assures us that God has clearly revealed himself to all people, both by his creation and his just...

The fact that this circumcision was performed under Joshua, rather than Moses, points forward to the new and better circumcision of the heart that comes by grace under the administration of Jesus, and not the law under the administration of Moses.

Are the “Theobros” and “Tradwives” simply trying to resurrect the patriarchy of the 1980’s homeschool movement?

Christendom 2.0 won’t happen without the Baptists, and Baptists won’t fully get on board until they learn to think covenantally.

“Circumcision was originally a seal of the promise of the land of Canaan... It was in the believing hope of that good land that the patriarchs circumcised their children; but when God had sworn in his wrath concerning the men who came out of Egypt that they should be consumed in the wilderness, and never enter Canaan, nor come within sight of it, as a further ratification of that sentence, and to...

God ordered Joshua to circumcise Israel at a time when it might be done with safety, even in an enemy’s country, due to their hearts being melted with fear. Joshua could have easily been thought of as unwise for this particular command. According to natural reason, it was foolish to undergo circumcision at this time. However, when God gives a command, we must not consult with flesh and blood.

“The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Here with [a sword] drawn out of the scabbard, to justify the war with the Canaanites, and to encourage Joshua to proceed in it. His sword has been drawn against his enemies, and those of his people from the beginning, ever since the fall of man, when enmity commenced between him and the seed of the serpent; it appeared drawn when here on earth combating with all our spiritual enemies, and will n...

Dr. Joseph Boot reveals the unbiblical dualism of Two Kingdoms Theology, and how this dichotomy causes the Church to be impotent in its mission.

It is the duty of children to ask questions, and it is the duty of parents (particularly fathers) to provide answers. Ample provision requires diligent work. Just as a father must work hard to make physical provision, so too must he work hard to make spiritual and theological provision. As Douglas Wilson has said, “A man may not be a vocational theologian, but in his home he must be the resident t...

From shadow to substance, from type to antitype - the Old Testament speaks profoundly of Christ.

 God is jealous for his own glory. Therefore, he chooses the foolish to despise the wise.

Pastor Joel Webbon and former Eastern Orthodox priest, Joshua Schooping, discuss the top three reasons why many Protestants are currently converting to Eastern Orthodoxy.

God is merciful. He remembers our frame. Not only that we are sinful, but that we were made from dust.

The Bible teaches that unbelievers are Totally Depraved, not Utterly Depraved. In this short clip, Pastor Joel Webbon explains the distinction.
