But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16
Pressing Forward and Our Move to Tampa
Written by Blog | 5 Solas EvangelismOur sovereign and gracious God has moved much quicker than my wife and I have anticipated since I first announced our plans to relocate in my last blog, Shaking Off the Dust from My Feet. It was just April 14th (not even three weeks ago!) that my wife and I had the lunch date where we both agreed it was time for us to...
I have now lived in the Palm Bay/Melbourne area of Florida for nearly 10 years. During the course of that time I have really only had one goal with regard to Christian ministry. I have wanted to come under the authority of the elders of a healthy local church, to be examined, to be trained, and to be sent out to do...
The doctrine of justification by faith alone may very well be the most precious doctrine of the Christian faith.

Written by Blog | 5 Solas Evangelism“Preach the gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.” This popular quote, which is falsely attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, is often used in American Evangelicalism to convey the distorted idea that the best way to lead people to Christ is simply by the way we live our daily lives. These...
What would Jesus say to America today? While I don’t pretend to be a prophet who receives revelations concerning what is to come, I do have have the inspired and infallible written Word of God, and Jesus did address a situation very similar to ours today in America. What he said to these people is an...
Presuppositional apologetics plays a very important role in evangelism. In fact, I would go so far as to say, if you fail to have a basic grasp of presuppositional apologetics, it probably reveals a deficiency in your understanding of the fallen condition of man, the imago dei, the sufficiency of Scripture, the...
How are They to Preach Unless They are Sent?
Written by Blog | 5 Solas EvangelismFor ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?...
Evangelism vs. The Office of The Evangelist
Written by Blog | 5 Solas EvangelismThere is an important biblical distinction that Evangelical Christians need to recover in our day, and that is the distinction between evangelism and the office of an evangelist. Rightly understanding this should diffuse many debates over evangelism before they begin so that Christians can work together with unity...
