Doctrine

Each page below states a position, grounds it in Scripture and the 1689 Confession, and points toward the best resources I know. These are not academic surveys; they are personal convictions.

Reformation

The Five Solas

Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria , the five Latin watchwords of the Reformation, explained and defended.

Soteriology

Doctrines of Grace

Total depravity, unconditional election, definite atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints: the full counsel of God in salvation.

Eschatology

The Doctrine of Hell

Hell as a place of conscious, eternal torment, not annihilation, not universalism. Why this doctrine must be held and how it shapes the gospel.

Theology Proper

Common Grace & Saving Grace

The distinction between God's general benevolence to all creatures and His particular, saving grace given only to the elect.

Eschatology

The Intermediate State

What happens to the soul between death and resurrection: conscious presence with Christ for believers, conscious awaiting of judgment for the wicked.

Apologetics

Presuppositionalism

Van Til's apologetic method: why the Christian faith must be defended from within itself, and where classical evidentialism falls short.

Theology Proper

The Euthyphro Dilemma

Is something good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is good? Why this is a false dilemma, answered by grounding goodness in the nature of God.
