If you are a Christian, then you are almost certainly concerned about the underprivileged. Nobody wants any minority group to suffer, but Christians want much more for minorities than the secular world could possibly hope for. Since everyone is born spiritually dead and on a path to hell, Christians want people to receive eternal life. Unfortunately, the world has an ideology of wokism that is in conflict with the Gospel. What is worse, some evangelicals have fallen for wokism. Woke evangelicals keep people on the path to hell in two ways: first by distracting the church from evangelism thereby preventing the unbeliever from hearing, understanding, and believing the Gospel and second by distorting the gospel itself. This second problem, the woke perversion of the Gospel, is the topic of this post.[Read More]

On Reconciliation, Soteriology, and All that Jazz (2 Cor. 5:18–20)
Jesus did some things for everybody and some things for believers only. It is important to understand this to maintain a consistent theology of salvation through faith alone in Christ alone. If we confuse the work done for everyone with the benefits given to believers, then we could mistakenly think that faith alone in Christ alone is unnecessary. Likewise, if we confuse what Jesus did for believers and what Jesus expects from believers, then we could mistake faith alone in Christ alone as insufficient.[Read More]
Response to “Luke’s Gay Apocalypse” Part III: Yes, Non-Celibate Homosexuals Can Be Saved
This is part three of a response to a post by Jeremy Myers. In that post, Myers summarizes the view of Ron Goetz, which proposes that Luke 17:34–35 is about saved non-celibate homosexuals. While I believe that there are saved non-celibate homosexuals, I disagree with the process of forcing a gay reading into this text (especially by using Document Q and Pagan mythology).[Read More]

Works do not save and neither does faith: Toward a better FG/LS Dialogue
It is no secret that I hold to a doctrinal position that is called, “Free Grace,” which advocates for a gospel of salvation that is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Free Grace is often contrasted to systems that suppose faith alone in Christ alone to be insufficient. It can also be contrasted to those positions that say faith alone in Christ alone is unnecessary, but while my experience has been that most people under the umbrella of Christendom are on the “unnecessary” side the pendulum, Free Gracers are more comfortable engaging those on the “insufficient” side.
