Now available! My newest book on the ordo salutis, the order of salvation. Join me as I delve into the doctrine of soteriology and how the Sovereign Savior applies salvation to his elect. Examine the important doctrines of election, effectual calling, regeneration, conversion, justification, adoption, sanctification, perseverance, and glorification.
The ordo salutis has long been used by theologians as a framework for understanding God’s application of salvation to sinners. Rather than considering the ordo as a sequence of events, it is better to view this as an “orderly” presentation of the relationships between the various aspects of soteriology. ORDO seeks to strengthen love and devotion to our Savior Jesus Christ by deepening our understanding of these vital doctrines.

What does it mean to live in the salvation of Christ?
Living in the salvation of Christ is to have been called by God to faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. To have been justified freely by God’s grace. To now be living in the daily struggle to mortify sin and grow in the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. To endure until the end of life, holding firm to that original confidence. Indeed, to have come to share in Christ and one day to be received into glory. This is a site to find those truths.

I don’t know how to feel about AI…
As an amateur photograper, I’ve been amazed at the changes in technology that have occurred during my days. The biggest of these advances has been the transition from film to digital photography. One of the advantages is the ability to go back to digital photos and change various parameters from exposure to white balance to

Beware of scare tactics
There is a post making its way around social media, warning Christians that their non-KJV Bibles are removing words and verses from the inspired text. Some of the rhetoric is meant to shock and alarm believers that their modern versions of the Bible (NIV, ESV) have “watered down” the true text of the Bible and

Thoughts after 1 year of seminary…
I haven’t posted for some time. The biggest reason for this lack of activity is that I enrolled last fall at Grimké Seminary of Richmond, Virginia. Grimké is predominantly a self-study program, with two weeks each semester devoted to in-person, on-site learning. It is designed for pastoral training for men who may already be working in

I finished with the sequence of publishing my book last week, and as I type this, I’m waiting for some hard copies to be shipped to me. That’s always a nervous anticipation. Will the book look like the proofs I was shown? Will the artwork line up properly on the spine of the book? This
