One Covenant, One Christ: A Word on Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism did not fall from the pages of Scripture—it arose in the 19th century, most clearly through John Nelson Darby, and was later popularized in America by the Scofield Reference Bible.

Israeli or Jewish lobbying has nothing to do with it
Appealing to it as the primary explanation is an intellectually shallow reflex—one that reveals more about the speaker than it does about the situation itself.

What About Patriotism?
Yes, what about that. The notion of patriotism is connected with many strands to the topic of my previous post. My original intent was to address them together.

Christian Nationalism: The Bull in The China Shop
Having received numerous inquiries about my post-election Facebook post, I realized that I had already scattered bits and pieces of relevant information across various forums. Much of what I’ve addressed falls under a common theme: an evaluation of Christian Nationalism. While I understand that this topic may not resonate with everyone, I’ve sought to compile my… Continue reading
