HALSEY'S AGGRESSION AND STRATEGIC DEBATES Colleague Craig Symonds. Fearing the loss of Guadalcanal, Nimitz replaced the cautious Ghormley with Bill Halsey, whose aggressive "Kill Japs" attitude boosted morale. While Nimitz valued Halsey's pugnacity for "cavalry charges," he recognized the risks of his temperament. Halsey surprisingly bonded with General Douglas MacArthur, despite the rivalry between the Navy's Central Pacificstrategy and the Army's push to return to the Philippines. This strategic divide required a summit with President Roosevelt in Hawaii to resolve whether to island-hop toward Formosa or support MacArthur's pledge to liberate the Philippines.

Can someone truly be saved and show little—or no—fruit? Dr. Michael Easley tackles one of the most misunderstood questions in Christian circles: what fruit actually means in Scripture. Using passages like Matthew 7, John 15, and Galatians 5, Dr. E explains how Jesus' command to “know them by their fruit” applies to false prophets, not to everyday believers struggling to grow.In this episode, you'll learn why assurance of salvation is rooted in Christ's finished work, not in visible performance or moral scorekeeping. Dr. Easley also explores the Lordship Salvation debate, the tension between works and grace, and the danger of “fruit inspection” as a measuring stick for someone's faith.Whether you're wrestling with your own assurance, worried about your children's salvation, or navigating difficult conversations around sin and spiritual growth, this episode brings clarity, comfort, and a biblical foundation for confidence in Christ alone. Key Topics Covered -What Jesus meant by “fruit” in Matthew 7 -How to understand John 15 and the vine metaphor -The fruit of the Spirit vs. fruit inspection -The Lordship Salvation debate (MacArthur vs. Ryrie) -Can a Christian live in sin and still be saved? -How to judge sin without judging salvation -Where true assurance of salvation comes from -Why believers need God's Word, God's Spirit & God's people Chapters 00:00 — Can someone be saved without showing fruit? 01:10 — What Jesus meant by “fruit” in Matthew 7 03:00 — The Lordship Salvation debate 05:00 — Deeds of the flesh vs. fruit of the Spirit 06:20 — Why fruit isn't proof of salvation 08:10 — Judging sin vs. judging salvation 09:45 — Parents, kids, and “proof of salvation” 11:00 — Where assurance actually comes from 12:20 — God's Word, God's Spirit, God's people 14:00 — Final encouragement If you've got a question for Dr. Easley, call or text us your question at 615-281-9694 or email at question@michaelincontext.com.

Advent Love 2025   Mark 12:26-27 ESV   26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong."       Mark 12:28-31 ESV   28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?" 29 Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."       Galatians 5:22-23 ESV   22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.       John 13:34-35 ESV   34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."         John 8:48b ESV   "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"       Luke 6:27-28, 32, 35-36 ESV   27 "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.       32 "If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them…       35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.       John 3:16 ESV   16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.       1 John 4:8 ESV   8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love       James 2:14-17 ESV   14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.       Galatians 5:6 ESV   6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.       1 John 3:16-18 ESV   16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.       "Agape love is the greatest virtue of the Christian life. Yet that type of love was rare in pagan Greek literature. That's because the traits agape portrays—unselfishness, self-giving, willful devotion, concern for the welfare of others—were mostly disdained in ancient Greek culture as signs of weakness. However, the New Testament declares agape to be the character trait around which all others revolve. (MacArthur, J. The Power of Integrity : Building a Life Without Compromise, page 133. Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books)       1 Corinthians 13:1-7, 13 NIV   If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.       13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

This year, four remarkable men passed away — John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, James Dobson, and Charlie Kirk. A bold expository preacher, MacArthur defended the Lordship of Christ and the true Gospel for 56 years, refusing to close his church during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Baucham, another lion in the pulpit, championed Scripture's teaching on the sufficiency of scripture, the centrality of the church, social justice, male headship, family-integrated churches, and much more. Dobson called Christians to prioritize and protect their family life. And Kirk — martyred at 31 — fearlessly proclaimed his faith on college campuses, urging young people to reject the world's lies and embrace biblical manhood and womanhood. With their passing, the work now falls on us to continue.

I was raised inside a brand of Christianity shaped more by John MacArthur–style celebrity authority than by Scripture itself—rules over grace, control over conscience, loyalty to men over obedience to Christ. In this interview, I break down why that system is not biblical Christianity, how it mirrors the same top-down power structures we now see in Big Tech and media, and why walking away from it clarified my calling. Pickax exists because truth and freedom always require alternatives when institutions choose control over Christ.Follow RCAM on Pickax - https://pickax.com/rcamFollow Jeff Dornik on Pickax - https://pickax.com/jeffdornikTune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE every Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm ET.

Japan's nominal unconditional surrender was conditional on retaining Emperor Hirohito, who was deemed helpful for managing troops and legitimizing the US occupation. General MacArthur, haunted by the Bataan Death March, conducted immediate, swift trials via military commissions against two former enemies. MacArthur initially planned a short, six-month trial focused only on aggression at Pearl Harbor.

As the Cold War set in (1948), George Kennan urged MacArthur to halt progressive liberalization policies. Kennan argued that extensive democratization risked communist subversion, emphasizing the need for a strong, stable, anti-communist Japan. This marked a major shift, recognizing Japan, rather than China, as the crucial strategic anchor for American foreign policy in Asia.
