The gospel of Jeroboam and the Cult of Easy Christianity
Appealing to a broad palate of Scripture along with historical references, the gospel of Jeroboam cites the seductive narrative that leads to personal, cultural, and national bondage. Those who would enslave are best aided when their prey is convinced that their slave-master has their best interest at heart. Such servitude is antithetical to biblical Christianity, as it gives honor to men that is uniquely due to the Lord.
What does this look like in our age?
What must we then do?
These are the issues addressed by the author, not just as a pedagogue, but as a grandfather to his dear grandchildren.

The Beast, the Whore, and the Forgotten Vision
"The Lord is our Judge. The Lord is our Lawgiver. The Lord is our King. He will save us." - Isaiah 33:22
These words in Isaiah are no less true with the passage of time. Yet for centuries the visible church has abandoned the robust proclamation of the rights of the Lord Jesus Christ to preside over His creation. This needs to change.
Rather than throw Him the crumbs that conveniently fall from our table, we must assert the legitimate claims of the Lord into the world in which we find ourselves. He will elevate us to His table, to reign with Him as we do. Until we rise to this call, we will tepidly settle for the scraps of food our pagan judges, lawgivers, kings, and saviors throw our way.
By accepting these meager crumbs tossed thoughtlessly to us by the world's leaders, we actually show our preference to be ruled by people who hate the Lord.
Christ deserves better.
FIGHTING TO WIN: and other things I didn't learn in Sunday School
Fighting to Win: and other things I didn't learn in Sunday School is a book about spiritual conquest and victory. It is not meant to be another study on personal satisfaction, and individual holiness. Those books abound. This is a biblically based manual on spiritual warfare, that is designed to be put to use.
Fighting to Win takes seriously the command of Christ to take the nations for Him. The author comes from a position that Jesus is currently the reigning, ruling King, and that all authorities must submit to Him or be crushed by Him. The author writes from the perspective of a pastor who engages the culture with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God on the street level, as well as a missionary and Christian overseer to war-torn countries in Africa.
