Tolkien and Lewis: Preference for Masculine Clothing in Rejection of Dandyism
Speaking of J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, Humphrey Carpenter writes in J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biography (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1977): [H]is [Tolkien’s] choice of clothes in middle age was also the sign of a dislike of dandyism. This he shared with C. S. Lewis. Neither could abide any manner of […]
2 Peter 2 and John 13: The Relationship Between Lust, Authority, Heresy, and Apostasy
Apostates deny the Lord who bought them (2 Peter 2:1). Their problem with Jesus is His sovereign lordship, that is, they don’t want Him in charge. Why? Their lust. They want what they want, and only what He wants when it’s what they want. On earth in real time, however, they don’t clash with Jesus. […]

Maybe the Worst Thing about Social Media
Wikipedia lists what social media is, and I looked, because getting that accurate might be important to someone with a strong support for social media, so I don’t mind representing it with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. I know it’s more, but those suit the discussion. Anymore, I don’t look at Facebook at all. In […]
The Deliberate, Convenient Ineptitude of Professing Christians at Applying the Lust Passages of Scripture, pt. 3
Part One Part Two Since Peter commands “abstain from fleshly lust” in 1 Peter 2:11, a believer can know what “fleshly lust” is. Someone can’t abstain from something he can’t ascertain. God doesn’t have a word that is indecipherable. God wants us to know it and do it. In the first two parts, we have […]
Andy Stanley Exposed and Crushed in Debate with Jeff Durbin
Anyone who reads here would know I don’t endorse or associate with someone such as Jeff Durbin, pastor and found of Apologia Church in Arizona, the Phoenix area. James White has joined him as pastor there. I would characterize Durbin as one of the new Calvinists, new not chronological as much as it is a […]
Israel in the Land of Canaan: Perfect Spot to be a Light to the Nations
The nation of Israel, in the land of Canaan, was God’s institution for His worship, for passing on the truth about the coming Messiah, and for preaching the gospel to the nations both in picture through the sacrificial system and through direct calls to the nations to repentance and faith in Christ in texts such […]
The Deliberate, Convenient Ineptitude of Professing Christians at Applying the Lust Passages of Scripture, pt. 2
Part One Sanctification, the practical outworking of actual salvation, which surely proceeds from justification, Paul characterizes in Romans 6:12: Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Essentially the Apostle Paul is stating the expectation of the reality of true salvation in someone’s life, commanding […]
The Deliberate, Convenient Ineptitude of Professing Christians at Applying the Lust Passages of Scripture
The Bible doesn’t say what lust is. It assumes we know, because we do know. Not knowing is either blindness or feigning ignorance. Blindness or feigned ignorance won’t work in the end with God. He knows we know. People can understand and apply the passages on lust. They don’t want to give up their lust. I’m […]
