For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. – 2 Corinthians 1:20 All of God’s promises, without exception, were and are made to and fulfilled in Christ Jesus. It is the most fundamental ignorance of […]

John MacArthur is Robbing the Church
posted by Joel Taylor
[ For the sake of the Church, I’d like to ask you to share this post far and wide. Thanks – JT ] For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles […]
Bootlicker, Ignorant, Coward or Unregenerate?

Nowhere are Christian leaders more prone to kowtow to others as when their very careers and reputations may be affected by those to whom they allow serious error in exchange for favorable status to the masses, especially in these days of social media. Such is the case regarding John MacArthur.
Dispensationalism: Diminishing the Cross of Christ
posted by Joel Taylor
According to dispensationalists, animal sacrifices will be reinstituted during a future millennium along with a new temple in Jerusalem. The resumption of animal sacrifices, according to John MacArthur, is the new, old way to memorialize Christ. Israel rejected their Messiah, but when they have received Him and are in His kingdom, they will have a […]
John MacArthur’s Closet Retraction (Did Phil Johnson Really Post This?)
posted by Joel Taylor
I read these retractions this morning, allegedly from John MacArthur, concerning some teachings of his from earlier years. All of these retractions are in regard to MacArthur’s book “The Gospel According to Jesus”, and are claimed to have been posted by Phil Johnson years ago. My question is, did Phil Johnson really post this? There’s […]
A Question for The Master’s Seminary
posted by Joel Taylor
I ran across this doctrinal and teaching statement this morning (November 14, 2011) from the Master’s Seminary regarding the Sonship of Jesus Christ. Honestly, it is very curious, and for now, at least, reads as following: We teach that, in the incarnation, the second person of the Trinity laid aside His right to the full […]
What Will the Church Do With Such A Man?
posted by Joel Taylor
Suppose, for a moment, that there is a preacher who is teaching that after Christ Jesus comes again, you will have time for repentance and you can be saved from the eternal, and just, wrath of God for rejecting the Gospel offered through His Son, Jesus Christ. What would you think of such a man? […]
John MacArthur–Pushing Darby
posted by Joel Taylor
The following is an historical timeline of sorts, showing the origins of American Dispensationalism. This teaching, founded upon a hard distinction between Israel and the Church, is still, despite it’s origin, being propagated, according to a recent poll by 65% of evangelicals. It is truly disturbing that proclaiming Jesus as King sitting on David’s throne […]
Today, and Not Partially
posted by Joel Taylor
It’s Friday, and I was not going to post, but this is bothering me. I hope it will bother you as well. Sunday, we are going to worship the Lord, for His work, for His glory. It will be, or should be, all about Him. You know it and so do I. So, having said […]
John MacArthur: Slaves for Christ (Sermon)
posted by Joel Taylor
From John MacArthur: “We’re going to turn to a subject in the New Testament that as I think about it is largely ignored and overlooked. And I’ve been made aware of that in recent months. It was not too many months ago that I was flying on one of those jumbo jets from Los Angeles […]
Delight Yourself in the Lord (and Do Whatever You Want!)
posted by Joel Taylor
"Love God and do as you please." That famous quote from St. Augustine has far outlived its author, but not everyone views it favorably. Some see his bluntness as irresponsible, possibly dangerous. But Augustine has solid ground to stand on. Thousands of years earlier, another theologian by the name of David said this, "Delight Yourself […]
