Rick Holland’s “Uneclipsing The Son,” Part 1: John MacArthur Comes Completely Out of the Closet

Rick Holland’s “Uneclipsing The Son,” Part 1: John MacArthur Comes Completely Out of the Closet

Originally published July 7, 2011

July 6, 2011 is a day that will live in infamy for the rest of my life. I’m not kidding. My copy of  “Uneclipsing The Son” by Rick Holland arrived two days ago and was on my desk. Susan came and sat in a chair by my desk, observed the book, picked it up, and started reading to me the forward written by John MacArthur Jr. My worst fears were realized. MacArthur’s…

The Gospel According to John MacArthur’s Reformation Myth

The Gospel According to John MacArthur’s Reformation Myth

Originally published September 8, 2012

Let me state something right out of the gate: the church has never been in a Dark Age. Christ said, “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18). Imagine that. Peter wasn’t anybody—he was an everyday Joe—a blue-collar guy in that culture. Then one day God shows up…

As TANC, our newly…

Addendum

New Calvinism is not only dangerous to one’s soul, it is very subtle, and its proponents are deliberately covert. A post on what to look for is overdue, and my thanks to the reader who wrote and reminded me of this need. First, know this: in our day, New Calvinist churches will be the rule and not the exception. When you visit a church, assume that…

Galatians: Protestantism is No New Thing Under the Sun; Law-Based Justification is Functioning Antinomianism The law was NEVER the standard for righteousness, but it is the standard for love and the work of faith.

Christian Husbands and Fathers Will Be Held Accountable for Leading Their Families in Calvinism’s False Gospel

Christian Husbands and Fathers Will Be Held Accountable for Leading Their Families in Calvinism’s False Gospel

Originally published January 8, 2013

I see a significant laxness towards doctrinal issues in regard to where one goes to church, especially from husbands, and fathers. “But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD (Joshua 24:15)” is now, But as for me and my household, we will follow the elders.

If You Are a Protestant; i.e, Baptist, Methodist, ect., You Represent a False Gospel The Protestant Reformation was never about interpreting the Bible literally, or by its plain sense. The official interpretive policy of the Reformers was historical-redemptive.
