Comparative: Amending the U. S. Constitution and Amending the Bible
Perhaps you are impressed with the founding fathers of the United States and their work on the Constitution. Perhaps you like that document and its outcome for the United States. The United States was no powerhouse when the Constitution was written. They became one with it. We can’t chalk that up only to the Constitution, […]
You Should Consider Very Strongly How Bad A Clinton Administration Will Be
When you go to vote and you consider third party, write-in, not voting at all, or voting for Hillary Clinton, you need to consider how bad that administration will be. The Democrats aren’t going to miss on their Supreme Court justices like Republicans have. They will get a liberal justice to replace Scalia. It will […]
Judging the 2016 Presidential Election as of Today, October 9
I don’t think anyone should vote for Trump because of his godliness or moral purity or even his Christian faith. This is not how to judge this election. The media, which supports Hillary Clinton at something greater than 90%, released the tape on the weekend to hurt Trump. It’s not news. Everyone already knew that […]
Inexpensive Prepaid Cell Phone Plans
In the past on this blog I have reviewed Republic Wireless and FreedomPop. With Republic Wireless, customers can get unlimited talk and text for only $15 a month. With FreedomPop, one can get a cell phone plan that is totally free–$0 a month–but has limited minutes. Let’s say, though, that neither of those companies is […]
Analyzing King James Version Revision or Update Arguments, pt. 2
Part One I’m happy our church uses the King James Version. Because of our belief in the preservation of its underlying text, our church can’t use the New King James Version, even if it were a superior translation. The NKJV doesn’t come from the identical Hebrew and Greek text of the KJV, so we won’t […]
Analyzing King James Version Revision or Update Arguments, pt. 1
In the last month, I have written two posts about contemporary usage and support of the King James Version of the Bible, the first differentiating my biblical position from an untenable King James Version position and the second explaining why an update wouldn’t occur. Both of these posts resulted, as is often the case, in […]

A Lie to Deny for Evangelism to Thrive
Saviors are heroes in our culture. In 2009 Chesley Sullenberg, a USAirways pilot, emergency landed an Airbus A320 on the Hudson River, saving all 155 passengers. He is a hero, because he is given much of the credit for the salvation of 155 people. Each of those people sees a debt to Sullenberg. I know […]
Liberty and Equality: Adducing the Protests
It takes a lot to have a great nation. It doesn’t take much to tear it down. However, like God said to Baruch, seek not great things for yourself. That can be said of and to a nation too. You can easily go down as a nation, and we are. It’s been ugly to watch. […]
Grace through the Word: the Lutheran and Reformed Doctrines Contrasted
A (relatively) short time ago, while working on other things, I was listening through the renowned Presbyterian theologian Charles Hodges’s Systematic Theology. Within that work, he has the following discussion about his (Reformed) view of the power and efficacy of the Word and the Lutheran view of the matter. By reproducing the quotation below, I […]
