The Necessity of Poetry in the Praise of God
Growing up, I didn’t like poetry. I thought that a person should just say what he meant in a simple sentence that anyone could understand. “Get to your point,” I felt. When in college, I minored in speech and took two semesters of oral interpretation. The first semester was all poetry. We memorized and performed […]
Jerome’s Preface to the Canonical Epistles–Ancient Evidence for 1 John 5:7
The preface below, which, besides being on my website, does not appear to have been available easily in English, was translated, by my request, by Thomas Caldwell, S. J. of Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. The translation comes from the Codex Fuldensis (c. A. D. 541-546), one of the earliest copies of the Vulgate. This […]
The King James Version and the Doctrine of Separation
The Bible version issue will always cause division. Should it? Should believers separate from one another over what English (or Spanish) translation of the Bible they use? The answers to these questions have been percolating for awhile among fundamentalists. Certain recent events have caused the temperature to rise and some bubbling on the surface. Northland […]
Join Me in the Campaign against BABEL: Bigotry Against the Bible Executed Legally
We the people must take the offensive against the Bigotry Against the Bible that is being Executed on the citizens of the United States Legally by its government, all three branches, legislative, judicial, and executive. We’ve got the constitution, history, and, of course, God and the Bible on our side. The former don’t matter so […]
The Apostle Paul and His View of Unity and “Non-Essentials”
Unity is the subject du jour of evangelicalism and fundamentalism. If you want to move to the head of the line, you’ve got to push and shove to get in the front on unity today. Important to call your group “Together” or “United” or “Coalition.” Like love has been hijacked by syrupy sentimentality, unity has […]
The Biblical Mandate for House to House Evangelism, part 4
II. Application “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). This record of the final command of the Lord to His church is not an option. While it is certainly a church command, doubtless the imperative of reaching every creature falls upon all […]
The Biblical Mandate for House to House Evangelism, part 3
Commentaries support the concept of house to house visitation in Acts 5:42 and 20:20, rather than church meetings in houses:[i] “Every day, with great constancy and assiduity, both publicly and privately; in the temple, the place of public worship, where the Jews resorted on that account; and in each of their private houses . . […]
The Cost of Political Correctness: Wikileaks and Fort Hood
What happens when you mix political correctness with the United States military? You get the Wikileaks dump of classified military intelligence, endangering the lives of Americans in harms way. And you already got the death of thirteen at Fort Hood. How so? The culprit in the Wikileaks treason was Bradley Manning, a homosexual soldier. Of […]
Our School: Bethel Christian Academy
Alright, I have to admit that I’m prickly on this, but Yellow Pages, which provided the ad because we pay for a yellow page ad for our school, put a 2 second jingle at the very end, when the screen goes to black, that was not music we would approve. That is an ad for […]
The Myth of Missional Music
Recently, Matt Olson, the president of now Northland International University (formerly Northland Baptist Bible College), sent an open letter to constituents explaining recent decisions Northland has made. I got a copy of it myself from him in an email. Olson seems to be attempting to convince people that they should not perceive Northland as changing […]
