In Rememberance of Me

In Rememberance of Me

 Of the two sacraments practiced in the Protestant tradition, the one that continues on throughout the believer's life is that of the Eucharist (or the Lord's Supper, Communion). Eucharist simply means thanksgiving from the Greek, which derives from the...

Conversion of a Credobaptist

Conversion of a Credobaptist

  This might ruffle some feathers. Like most (if not all) Western Evangelicals I was baptized when I was a bit older (for me at 16). While I made a profession of faith at 4 or 5 years old, general practice was not until someone was a bit older to make the public...

Book Review: Rebirth of Orthodoxy

 What is orthodoxy, and why does it matter?These are questions that many years ago Thomas Oden, who is now recognized during his lifetime as the preeminent Methodist theologian, and the father of a branch of theology called paleo-orthodoxy. We live in what...

Justice vs Justification?

Justice vs Justification?

Excess leads to error. An over extension of how God's sovereignty works leads to a once saved always saved mentality. An over extension of how human free will works leads to an eternal insecurity mentality. One thing that I have been noticing is his over...

Book Review: The Thrill of Orthodoxy

Book Review: The Thrill of Orthodoxy

  We live in a very pluralistic society. So much of the discourse is focused on “your truth, and my truth”, without ever asking the question, is there such thing as the truth? The question this begs as well is what is the response of the Christian faith? We...

Hi, my names is Joel

I’m a pastor who believes in the transformational power of the Gospel. In our day and age, with so much polarization, the Church is called to be the middle way between lawlessness and legalism.The Christian witness has been found through our history, and can be our guide, along with Scripture and the witness of the Holy Spirit into our future.

Our world is longing for something more, and I believe that a Church which is renchanted by the Gospel message can point people to Christ to see the transformation that only He brings.
