How can true believers say such blasphemy about our Lord? – JT ] In Luke 1:31-33, an angel promised Mary three things regarding her son, Jesus; specifically, […]
Paedobaptism: Fostering A Non-Christian Society
posted by Joel Taylor
If the Paedobaptists ever break down the one restraint on nominal, external, hereditary Christianity that they have left, that is, the requirement that the baptized infant shall confess his faith before he partakes of communion, then all significant differences between the church and the world will be threatened. This is not to say that the […]

posted by Joel Taylor
In Luke 1:31-33, an angel promised Mary three things regarding her son, Jesus; specifically, that Jesus: would be great and would be given the throne of His earthly ancestor, King David would reign over the house of Jacob forever and His kingdom, once established, would have no end.

John Calvin’s Refutation of Dispensationalism
posted by Joel Taylor
Over 400 years ago John Calvin wrote in his Institutes a stunning refutation of modern dispensationalism: “From the preceding observations it may now be evident that all those persons, from the beginning of the world, whom God has adopted into the society of His people, have been federally connected with Him by the same law […]
The Transcendence and Immanence of God
posted by Joel Taylor
God calls Himself “Lord” as head of the Mosaic covenant (Ex. 3:13-15; 6:1-8; 20:1). The same title, “Lord” is given to Jesus as Head of the New Covenant (Jn. 8:58; Acts 2:36; Rom. 14:9). In other words, Lordship is a covenant concept. God as the covenant head of believers, is exalted above His people, that […]
Yes, America, I See That Hand
posted by Joel Taylor
Apparently, churches across the nation are being asked to re-dedicate America to God in a national covenant prayer on July 3 as an affirmation of God’s sovereignty over the U.S and to remind us of the founding fathers. The prayer being distributed is: Father, As Your Christian nation, we affirm our covenant: You, the LORD, […]

Psalm 132:11, 12; 16:10 Act 2:29-32 [11] The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: "One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne. [12] If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall […]
Life Between Chapters
posted by Joel Taylor
The day Abraham walked up the mountain to sacrifice his son Isaac was a day of major events. Life-changing moments that strengthened his faith in God. Yet years before Isaac was even born, there was Ishmael, and a very interesting gap in time we would do well to take note of. In Genesis 17:1, Abram […]
Sin and Shame

I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the LORD, that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord GOD.” – Ezekiel 16:62, 63 (ESV) Only those […]
