By Ronnie W. Rogers / September 5, 2022 / Comments Off on What about Those Who Never Hear the Gospel: Foreordination versus Foreknowledge

By Ronnie W. Rogers / June 17, 2022 / Comments Off on Why I, as a Non-Calvinist, Support Tom Ascol for SBC President

By Ronnie W. Rogers / June 17, 2022 / Comments Off on Following Christ in the Practice of Church Discipline

If the SBC valued church discipline in the way that Christ does, I suggest we would not find ourselves in our current hour of distress. Moreover, if we do not begin to value and follow His commands on how to deal with unrepented of sin in the church, we shall never free ourselves from our…

If Only You Would Ask: Praying God’s Conditional Promises

By Ronnie W. Rogers / May 16, 2022 / Comments Off on If Only You Would Ask: Praying God’s Conditional Promises

Although prayer is central to the Christian life, and God promises that some things will turn out differently if we pray than if we do not, prayer does contain some confusing elements.
