No Compromise Radio is a ministry dedicated to the ongoing proclamation of Jesus Christ, even Him crucified (1 Cor 2:1), His exclusive and saving gospel, and His inerrant Word. Our theme verse is Galatians 2:5 where the apostle Paul said “But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.”

| Pastor Mike argues against the common misconception that sanctification is primarily the believer's effort (synergistic). Instead, he asserts the technical and proper definition is that sanctification is fundamentally the monergistic work of God's free grace, as the sanctifier, through the Holy Spirit. Mike distinguishes between positional sanctification (set apart at justification) and progressive/practical sanctification (the subsequent process of holy living, dying to sin, and living to righteousness). He emphasizes that a Christian's response to God's work is first by faith—believing they are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ (union with Christ) before yielding the fruit of obedience.

| Pastor Mike focuses on the importance and benefit of using catechisms, creeds, and confessions as supplements to studying the Bible. He argues that these resources, such as systematic theology or a confession, help believers "get their arms around" the vast content of the 66 books of the Bible by providing concise summaries and instruction.While affirming that God's Word is the final, supreme authority (sola scriptura), he highlights how catechisms protect the church from "celebrity pastors" by establishing a shared, time-tested theological foundation, and provide a means for unity among different reformed groups (like the "three forms of unity": Dort, Heidelberg, and Belgic Confession).

| This episode of No-Co Radio is framed around the ironic concept of “how to be a boring Bible teacher” which the host uses as a contrast to teach listeners how to be effective and engaging in their teaching and preaching. He outlines specific pitfalls to avoid to prevent being a "boring Bible teacher." These pitfalls include scolding people instead of using the Word to gently wound and kill, speaking in a flat, monotone way that lacks enthusiasm, teaching too long, using the Bible as a Star Spangled Banner springboard without digging into the text, and forgetting about the people you're teaching by not crafting the sermon with their life circumstances in mind.

Pink plainly describes God’s decree as “His purpose or determination with respect to future things.” The Westminster Shorter Catechism is slightly more expansive saying; “The decrees of God are His eternal purpose according to the counsel of His will, whereby, for His own glory, He hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass.” The most incredible [...]

- The Lord’s Table (8/28/2017) - As we come to the Lord’s table, who should partake in communion? The Bible gives 2 stipulations. The answer…wait for it…only those who are first reconciled to God(believers) and also reconciled to others. But we need to answer from the Bible “Why?” As NoCo listeners and readers I am sure this question had already crossed [...]
