What Happens After Death?

The Bible teaches that death is a transition to either heaven or hell, determined by one's relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.

The hope of the resurrection body is a glorious portion of every believer, and the call of the church is to make Christ known, sharing the good news of salvation with others. [... more]

A Delightful Fear of God

Scripture Alone

The doctrine of Sola Scriptura, a central tenet of the Protestant Reformation, holds that Scripture alone is the final authority for the Christian conscience. This principle was championed by Martin Luther and other Reformers, who argued that Scripture must be interpreted by Scripture itself, rather than by tradition or the authority of the church.

Four Possibilities

The existence of God is a question that has been debated for centuries, with various arguments for and against its existence. One approach to proving the existence of God is through the classical method, which involves establishing a sufficient reason to explain reality as we encounter it. This method involves looking at four possible explanations for reality: that our experience of reality is an illusion, that reality is self-created, that reality is self-existent, and that reality is created by something that is self-existent. The classical approach aims to provide a rational proof for the existence of a self-existent eternal being, rather than just evidence or persuasion. [... more]

The Case for God

The case for God's existence is a central theme in apologetics, with various approaches, including classical and presuppositional methods. Classical apologetics aims to prove God's existence through rational arguments, while presuppositional apologetics starts with the assumption of God's existence. The debate between these two approaches highlights the importance of establishing God's existence in the process of knowing. [... more]

Aquinas vs. Kant

Immanuel Kant's critique of traditional arguments for the existence of God challenged the notion that reason can prove God's existence, leading to a crisis in the Christian Church and a shift towards fideism. However, Christian philosophers and theologians have sought to reconstruct natural theology to answer Kant's objections, citing the Apostle Paul's declaration that the invisible things of God are known through the things that are made.

Gnosticism and Matter

The early church had to deal with the heresy of Gnosticism, which rejected the physical world and saw matter as inherently evil. Gnostics believed in a cosmology where God emanated from a higher spiritual realm, and the material world was a result of an intermediate creator. They also believed in a dualistic view of reality, separating spirit and matter. The Gnostics' view of Jesus was as a spiritual being who appeared in human form, but not as a physical person. This view was rejected by the early church, which saw it as fundamentally anti-Christian. [... more]

Gnosticism and Truth

The doctrine of election anchors our assurance of salvation in God's sovereign grace, and understanding the false teaching of Gnosticism is crucial for Christians today. Gnosticism involves a religion of redemption through gnosis or elite knowledge, rather than faith, and its influence can be seen in modern forms of eclecticism and syncretism. The church must be aware of the basic strains of historic Gnosticism and stay tied to the written word of God to avoid being carried away by feelings or so-called secret knowledge. [... more]

We Are All Guilty

The Bible teaches that salvation is not achieved through outward signs such as baptism or circumcision, but rather through a genuine inward transformation. Christians must be careful not to pretend to be more righteous than they actually are, as this can lead to hypocrisy and damage the reputation of Christianity. The law of God is meant to reveal our sin and our need for a Savior, and it is only through the gospel that we can be saved. [... more]

Christ Alone

The doctrine of salvation by grace rests on the principle that the law of God has been fulfilled by Christ. The covenant of works is fulfilled by Christ's passive obedience, and his active obedience secures our redemption. The mediatorship of Christ is essential for our justification, and it is through his obedience that we are reconciled to God. [... more]

The Source of Full Assurance

Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit that changes the inclination of the soul, kindling the love of God and giving us the earnest or guarantee of full and final payment of our salvation. This is the basis of our assurance, and it's confirmed by the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit through the word of God. [... more]
