It is the greatness of God that gives weight to the grace of God. Perhaps you have lost the awe you once possessed regarding God’s immense mercy toward you. If this is the case, do not merely focus your attention on the love of God but also on the holiness and glory of God.

From Artwork by Aram Papazyan Pastor Joel, you recently talked about the DW. However, you never mentioned Andrew Klavan, the only non-Catholic Christian from DW. What are your thoughts on his theology and influence?

Psalm 145:9 says, “The LORD…has compassion on all he has made.” Our God is a meticulously compassionate God. The Scripture testifies that God cares about cattle and livestock and sparrows and lilies…you can bet your bottom dollar he cares about you.

"Why the talk lately about Thomas Aquinas? It’s because Theonomy and Postmillennialism are rooted in the authority of the Bible to govern all of man’s activities. Aquinas held a very different view that has deeply influenced western theological thought. The flashpoint? Put down Aquinas and learn about Cornelius Van Til." - John White

In 1 Timothy 1:20, Paul mentions two individuals by name, which he has “handed over to Satan.” So what does it mean to be handed over to Satan? Tune in to this episode to find out!

The battle belongs to the Lord. God is sovereignly orchestrating all things in accordance with his good pleasure. Therefore, our only responsibility is to wait upon the Lord. We must wait humbly, quietly, obediently, and expectantly.

While I agree that ecumenism is a slippery, dangerous slope (working alongside Catholics or 5-point Arminians), would you say it is biblically acceptable for us in the Calvinist camp to work alongside Reformed Baptists and Presbyterians in things such as abortion abolition, missions trips, etc.?

Faithful Stones Church of Buffalo, NY hosted a Q&A session on August 20 during their Truth Matters Conference. Pastor Mark Hamilton hosted the conference and sat down with Pastor Mike Harding, Samuel Sey, and Pastor Joel Webbon to answer questions from attendees of the conference.

The Scripture places a large emphasis on the need for men to work hard. Unfortunately, due to modern convenience and entitlement, many men have been deceived into thinking that work is unimportant. In some cases, this results in not only apathy but depression and anxiety.

Is it possible God regenerates some infants? I'm Baptist, but I don't totally buy into an “age of accountability.” I also really want to trust God's mercy for kids. What are your thoughts?

Faithful ministry always thinks in terms of multiplication, but it takes time to truly multiply disciplines of Christ. Healthy fruit always takes time to grow. Don’t be discouraged!

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel is joined by Gary DeMar from @The American Vision to discuss the Dispensationalism, Premillennialism, and the Man of Lawlessness described in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

If you feel forgotten by God in the present it is vital that you remember his salvation in the past and his promise of preservation for the future.

A lot of Christians say that Postmillennialism is a recent fad, without any representation in church history. Is this statement true?

When Christians stand before God on that final day, they will be free from all sin, partake of the divine nature, and share in the blessedness of God. Oh, what a glorious day it will be!

What are your thoughts on organ donation? Knowing God sustains life and death, has numbered our days, and predestined our life, should Christians donate our organs even though they might be harvested before we die?

There are many in the Church today who attempt to write off mass portions of Scripture as primitive, cultural constructs no longer relevant today. However, although some portions of Scripture may contain a cultural component, the vast majority of Scripture still applies to our lives regardless of how unpopular it may be.

Pastor Joel Webbon recently had the privilege of sitting down with @Mike Winger (from "Learn To Think Biblically”) to attempt to convince Mike of Theonomy!

Although Christians still experience sorrow in this life, we have reason for great rejoicing. As we are transformed more and more into the image of Christ, our capacity for joy in God begins to grow.

Why did God almost kill Moses right after calling him to go before Pharaoh (Exodus 4:24-26)? 

Matt Chandler, Pastor of The Village Church and President of Acts 29 Network, has officially stepped down from his leadership roles. And yet, it’s been said that Chandler is NOT disqualified from ministry. So why is Chandler being asked to take a paid sabbatical from preaching/leading, if he’s still qualified for the office of Elder?

Romans 14:5 seems to clearly dismantle the sabbath for New Testament Christians. How would you deal with this verse?   “One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.” Romans‬ ‭14:5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Genesis 6:6 says, “And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.” Does this verse mean that God made a mistake, or that he changed his mind? Watch this clip to find out a biblically faithful response!

Many Christians, and even pastors, go to great lengths to conceal and minimize their sin. But a refusal to confess our sins produces only misery and heartache. It causes us to fall under the fatherly displeasure of God. Therefore, Christians should run to God quickly and fully.

I agree that the sabbath is important, and that it occurs on the first day of the week. However, if you are forced for whatever reason to work on Sundays, can you "take a sabbath rest" on a different day of the week?
