Answering “Conservative Christianity and the Authorized Version,” part two
Part One I agree with almost all of what Religious Affections Ministries (RAM) and Scott Aniol, its general director, write and then say about worship. I’m also very sympathetic with the concept of “conservative churches.” However, to be conservative, it’s important to be consistent in that position. A few weeks ago, one of the writers […]

Extremely Helpful in Life: Thinking Right about Authority
Our church operates a traditional Christian school with several fine, godly teachers, who are members of our church. They are all different, so much so that none of them are even similar, except that they believe and practice the Bible — different personalities and different styles. At the same time, different children do better with […]
Ye Shall Know: The Expectation or Assumption of Knowing in the Bible
Forms of “know” in the Bible occur 1,580 times. Knowing is expected or assumed. Knowing something implies certainty. Men can and should and do know. Scripture says it. The first time the English word “know” appears in the New Testament is Matthew 6:3 in the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus says: But when thou doest […]
The King James Bible Research Council Defends a False Gospel
In 2015 I wrote a blog post entitled “The Dean Burgon Society and the King James Bible Research Council: Would I Join Them?” Despite their commendable and Biblical defense of the Received Text and the King James Bible, I had to answer the question “no” for a number of reasons which can be examined by […]
It Seems Like It Would Be Much Easier For Me
I see the world headed for disaster inescapably or precipitately. Why would I want to jump on the handbasket and ride with it? I wouldn’t, but I understand why people take that handcart. The expression comes from a Hieronymous Bosch painting, The Haywain (c. 1515, below) in the middle of which is a large cart of […]
Answering “Conservative Christianity and the Authorized Version: Introduction”
Is the recommendation of, usage of, or belief in modern versions of the Bible, which translate the modern critical text, compatible with or representative of conservative Christianity? Religious Affections Ministries (RAM) board member Michael Riley writes at their blog site in essence an answer to that question in a series entitled, “Conservative Christianity and the […]
Careless Virtue Signaling
I’m intrigued by some of the new terms invented to describe iterations of bad behavior arising from new media: armchair warrior, call-out culture, concern troll, hashtag activism, social desirability bias, and social justice warrior, among others. I’m focusing though on virtue signaling, which I contend exists since the fall of man, but exponentially grew out […]

Brothers and Their Sisters
Scripture says a lot about the relationship with or responsibility of parents to children and children to parents. Much instruction exists for the husband and wife relationship. The Bible says less about siblings. Overall, the Lord Jesus Christ taught something to siblings in Matthew 12: 46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his […]
