This is a collection of public posts, mainly by Corey J. Mahler, but one of his compatriot, Treblewoe (Ryan Woodie Dumperth). It should be evident from their own words that they harbor an un-Christian hatred toward black people.
A Question of Discernment Imagine you’re deciding whether to attend a church where the pastor heavily relies on teachings from Robert Morris rather than directly from Scripture. Perhaps you’ve seen his popular book, The Blessed Life: Unlocking the Rewards of Generous Living (Amazon link), touted as a guide to spiritual and financial blessing. It sounds …
Dear friend in Christ,
Have you considered the Apostle Paul’s “Golden Chain of Redemption” found in Romans 8:28-30? It sings of God’s incredible work in our lives:
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son… And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.”
As an Arminian, you likely see this as God’s gracious plan hinging on our free choice. I want to share why I find the Reformed view—that this chain reflects God’s sovereign grace—even more comforting, and I invite you to ponder it with me.
As I stand before the mountain of my tasks, each stone a responsibility, each peak a deadline,I feel the weight of overwhelm pressing down on me.But You, O God, are the one who moves mountains, who makes a way where there seems no way.So, I ask for Your strength to take one step at a …
Rituals and liturgies are good. They can shape our hearts, train our bodies, and draw us into God’s service. They teach us to pray, to worship, and to repent. But when these practices lose their substance and become routine rather than response, they can hollow out our faith instead of strengthening it. In Joel, Paul, and the words of Jesus, God calls us not to abandon these sacred rhythms but to fill them with true repentance, real reconciliation, and sincere devotion.
This Lent, we must ask:
Are we allowing these holy practices to form us, or have we emptied them of meaning?
Dear friend in Christ, If you’ve ever lingered over Ephesians 2:8-10, you know it’s one of those passages that sings of God’s grace: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may …
One of the most persistent claims made by Roman Catholics is that they don’t pray to Mary—they only “ask for her intercession.” But if we apply a little common sense to the matter, the reality is undeniable: they are, in fact, praying to Mary. Let’s break it down. 1. They Address Mary as Though She …
February 23rd commemorates Polycarp, the faithful Bishop of Smyrna and a disciple of the Apostle John. His story is one of remarkable faithfulness, courage, and Christlike love—a testimony that has encouraged believers for nearly two millennia. A Faith Rooted in the Apostles Polycarp was born around 69 AD, the very early stages of Christendom. He …
Parenting in the pews is not for the faint of heart. Any parent who has wrestled a wiggly toddler during a sermon or shushed a whispering child at the wrong moment knows the challenge. It’s tempting to think, Maybe they’re just not ready for this. Maybe church is something they should grow into. But Jesus …
Irritation is a daily reality. It creeps in unexpectedly—a careless word from a friend, a frustrating delay in traffic, a demanding task at work, or even just the general weariness of life. And too often, when I feel irritation rising, I don’t immediately turn to the Lord. Instead, I try to push through it in …
