Do you read your Bible every day? If so, how much? Have you ever read the *entire* Bible from start to finish? Are there portions of Scripture you neglect? Are you able to discern subtle errors in the tsunami of teaching that is now available everywhere via the Internet? There is no substitute for plain old reading of the English Bible. Be sure you do it every day! I hope this message encourages you to do so. 

This is an exposition of 1 Corinthians 16:13 "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong."

This is part 2 of the series on Secular Humanism. Enjoy!

On this episode of The Protestant Witness, we look at the issue of "secularism" as a worldview. It is often said that America is such a "secular" nation now. It did not begin this way, but something happened that has spread this worldview far and wide. We are all influenced by it and live in the midst of it. How can Christians meet secularism with the gospel? My hope is that this episode will help address this question. The book referred to is Bruce Shelley's "Church History in Plain Language." The chapter that deals with the Enlightenment and its secularization of so much of the Western world is called "Aiming at the Foundations." Christians need to understand this movement and how much it has affected the world they live in today. 

Join Pastor Patrick Hines for this special edition of The Protestant Witness as he addresses the misuse of Reformed Theologians in defense of John Piper’s false gospel.  

Just like the devotees of the Federal Vision errors of yester-year did, contemporary defenders of John Piper are scouring the Puritans and Reformed theologians past and present desperately trying to find something, anything that might sound a little bit like what John Piper is saying.

It is simply incredible that some have attempted to defend Piper by claiming we have taken him out of context while at the same time citing other solid Reformed Theologians like Michael Horton, Francis Turretin and John Calvin, among others, out of context in order to defend Piper. The attempts to redefine what Piper teaches so as to make him sound more orthodox while at the same time redefining what other Reformed Theologians have taught so as to make them sound more like Piper is either a mark of poor scholarship or dishonesty.  

Among the most common Reformed Theologians to be cited out of context is Francis Turretin to which Pastor Hines recommends the book Justification by Francis Turretin for an accurate analysis of his thought.

In this episode of The Protestant Witness, Pastor Patrick Hines responds to John Piper's recent attempt to clarify his position on justification and final salvation. 

What the true Arminian Remonstrance taught might shock you. In this episode of "The Protestant Witness" we cover the first head of doctrine concerning Divine Predestination
