Letter From Birmingham Jail

The following is a letter I find so inspiring that I wanted to include it in its entirety here on my blog. It was written in longhand in August of 1963 by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as he sat in jail in Birmingham, Alabama. I read it every year on Martin Luther King Day. […]

The Moral Theology of The Reformation Project

Before reading this article please make sure to review the LGBTQ+ Sensitivity Statement. The Reformation Project (TRP) describes itself as a Bible-based, Christian organization whose mission is to advance LGBTQ inclusion in the church. Given the traditional Christian understanding of biblical sexual ethics and gender identity, this would be considered an unorthodox, if not controversial, […]

The Temple & the Presence of God

(Watch the video here.) There is an interesting issue regarding the future rebuilding of the Temple and Torahism, and it has to do with God’s presence.

Will the Temple Be Rebuilt?

(Watch the video here.) In the year AD 70, the Second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. It forced a massive change in Judaism. Suddenly there were no more sacrifices, no more Levitical priesthood, no more Temple ceremonies. For the Jews, who believed they were still under the Law of Moses, many of the 613 mitzvot […]

The Sexual Prohibitions in Leviticus 18 Don’t Apply to Christians

Before reading this article please make sure to review the LGBTQ+ Sensitivity Statement. The Reformation Project (TRP) describes itself as a Bible-based, Christian organization whose “mission is to advance LGBTQ inclusion in the church.” As part of their mission, they have published a ten-point, biblical case that argues for the affirmation of LGBTQ sexual values […]

Did Yeshua Keep Torah?

(Watch the video here.) You know the track-and-field event called a relay race where runners take turns racing around a track carrying a baton? When one runner completes his leg of the race, he hands the baton off to the next runner. By rule, the hand-off must take place within a short piece of track […]

On The Postmillennial Understanding of Kingdom Growth

One of the most attractive postmillennialism attributes is its hope for the future of believers in the world. Postmillennialism holds that the millennial age was ushered in by Christ in the first century and continues to this day. As we move toward His second coming, this eschatological position teaches that we can expect an increase […]

Oh, Me of Little Faith

I often focus so intently on the path in front of me that I lose sight of the bigger picture. This morning, however, I had occasion to reflect on the past few years of my life. I was astounded to see how God has been moving in ways I couldn’t have foreseen and hadn’t noticed […]
