Latest Young People’s Symphony Orchestra Concert
Two of my daughters play in YPSO. When my son was principal trombone in the orchestra two years ago, they toured Australia and New Zealand in the summer, playing at the Sydney Opera House. This summer is a domestic tour in June in Alaska. They will play in Anchorage and Fairbanks. When David Ramadanoff, the […]
Can You Prove It From Scripture?
The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice. You know what that means, don’t you? Gotcha! That’s what it means. Why? Well, because you can’t show me a verse in scripture that says that rock music is wrong. So that means it’s right. Game over! “I just want to do what scripture says […]
Inspiration: How and What?
Does the Bible teach that it is a divinely inspired book? Those who say they believe in so-called “verbal-plenary” inspiration say “yes.” Those who study the Bible in the most scholarly institutions of America are not so sure. Who is right? Points of Agreement Nearly all involved in the controversy are agreed that the Bible […]
Answering Aaron on the Doctrine of Preservation—Part Three
Aaron Blumer posted the third article in his series at SharperIron, Preservation: How and Why. I’ll provide scriptural analysis for his article in this post. I offered to send this to Aaron first to proof it, but he said go ahead and just publish, so I have. Perhaps to those on his side of things, […]
Rock and Rap Music Are Becoming a Non-Issue in Fundamentalism part 2
I’m quite sure that most professing fundamentalists still wouldn’t allow for rock music in their church services. Even if much of fundamentalist worship isn’t acceptable to God, they won’t use rock music at their churches. But I do believe that the relationship to rock music has changed in fundamentalist churches. Before they were sure that […]
Wear the Pants: The Dockers Campaign
Has anyone seen the new Docker’s campaign about wearing the pants? It’s for men, evangelicals and fundamentalists. Just to let you know. I assumed you thought “Wear the Pants” was for women. That was the signal you were receiving, but somehow Dockers missed it. Everyone knows that pants no longer are a symbol of masculinity […]
Rock and Rap Music Are Becoming a Non-Issue in Fundamentalism part 1
I graduated from high school in 1980. At that time rap music didn’t exist. Rock music of different types and styles had been around for awhile. I attended Christian school between 1974 and 1980, 7th to 12th grade. I graduated from Christian college in 1984, an M.A. in 1985 and M.Div. in 1987. I counseled […]
Remember the Mortgage Crisis? It’s Still Here
Here’s an article in the Wall Street Journal today that reminds us of how we got into the mortgage crisis. I recognize who was president in 2005 and who had the majority in the Senate, but it’s also important to see who supported and who opposed what. We don’t want to get into revisionist history, […]
Scrambling for an Explanation: The LXX Argument
The Bible teaches the perfect preservation of Scripture. That’s why the people in the pew of churches all over the country believe it, despite the pressure from academics and elitists. They read their Bible and that is the plain reading of the text. It really is like the public schools drowning the nation in evolution, […]
God Is “Hyper-Fundamental”
Evangelicals are afraid of being considered hyper-fundamental. Hyper anything sounds bad to most today. When Isaiah got into the the throne room of God (Isaiah 6), did he think that God would not take absolutely seriously everything that He said? Of course not. For instance, is it bad to be “hyper-biblical”? Of course not. Is […]
