Many years ago I was a Free-willer. I ignorantly believed then that man had a ‘free will’ to accept Jesus, to choose God, or to make a decision for Him to be saved. I also believed in a universal atonement, wrongfully believing that Christ died for “all men without exception.” That my friends, is a
This is an excellent sermon refuting the arrogant, heretical, idolatrous, self-righteous, belief, that man has a ‘free will’ to become saved. And all of this with no notes. Though Dr. Sonny Hernandez does not practice it here. One of the qualities of Hernandez, is that he does not hypocritically point his fingers at those ‘other
If we truly love our neighbors, then we would love them with the truth (according to the Scriptures). Dr. Sonny Hernandez does that well in this short video. Dr. Sonny Hernandez is the director of Reforming America Ministries. When he’s not pastoring his flock at a 1689 LBCF church, he’s leading as a deputy wing chaplain
Yesterday I began reading Dr. Sonny Hernandez’ latest book ‘High Calvinism: A Consistent Approach to Defend and Declare God’s Sovereignty.’ Frankly I couldn’t put it down, but I had to, because I had prior commitments.

It might be reasonable to say that public Heralds are the most criticized portion of the Lord’s Church, and sadly it frequently comes from professing Christians. The area that I am most criticized for by professing Christians, is that I often preach repentance. Professing Christians that are opponents of preaching repentance, will even wrongfully call
Biblical evangelism often involves ‘cleaning up false teachings,’ that have led others astray. No doubt hell will be full of false converts that believed in an ‘unlimited’ atonement. And most of them were ‘indirectly’ sent there by their own pastors (though Christ sends them there). When Jesus commanded Christians to go out and make disciples
There is a dangerous trend on Facebook, which claims ‘Theology does not matter.’ I could not imagine a subject more important than the ‘study of God and His Word.’ In this short video Dr. Grudem better explains why. In addition to the Bible, I recommend the following reads on Systematic Theology (which I have in
I just added this new gem to my library. A book called “Christ Crucified: The Marrow of the Gospel in 72 Sermons on Isaiah 53.” It is a large book with over 700 pages containing 72 sermons on Isaiah chapter 53. But not just any sermons. These sermons were given by the 17th Century Scottish
