Ugly Is the New Beauty and How This Is the Deceptive On Ramp Onto and Then Fast Lane Of the Broad Road to Destruction, Part Two
Part One I see ugliness all over today, and it’s not just something generational, that is, what happens every generation with older people not liking the latest with the younger ones. We live in a culture that glories in ugliness. In most cases, the uglier the better. This occurs when God stops being the standard. […]
Ugly Is the New Beauty and How This Is the Deceptive On Ramp Onto and Then Fast Lane Of the Broad Road to Destruction
I’ve been writing on this subject a lot and for a long time, but among the few things that motivated me to write this one was a new book written by Carl Trueman, The Rise and Triumph of Modern Self. This is not an endorsement. I haven’t read the book. I just thought that people […]
The Tetragrammaton and the Incarnation–A Hebrew Connection?
George Sayles Bishop, contributor to The Fundamentals (George S. Bishop, Chapter IV: The Testimony of the Scriptures to Themselves, in The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth, ed. R. A. Torrey, vol. 2 [Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software, 2005], 80-96), defender of the inspiration and preservation of Scripture and opponent of higher criticism and secular lower […]
The Most Difficult Issues for a Church
This could be a part two to the first post this week. Thirty-three years ago, my wife and I, married two weeks, moved with nothing to California, the San Francisco Bay Area, to start a church. We stayed until July of this year, 2020, when we moved to Southern Oregon, Jackson County, to begin again. […]
What Is the Extent that Churches Should Try to “Keep” People? Is It Even Right At All?
If the Bible is the authority for faith and practice, the faith and practice will correspond to or reflect the Bible. God keeps people saved (1 Peter 1:5). Saved people won’t eject from the church (1 John 2:19). If that is the faith and practice of the Bible, then God keeps people in a church. […]
The SNOWMAN is a hater–systemically racist, sexist, fascist, and anti-LGBTQ+!!!!!!!
Happy Winter Solstice! I wanted to point out an important point of systemic racism in this evil United States culture of racism, sexism, and xenophobia that you may have overlooked, although it is all around you, promoting microaggressions against womyn and all people of color everywhere. After reading this article, you will have no justification […]

What Is Trumpism? Part Two: Gospel Relations and Wokeness
What Is Trumpism? Part One Perhaps you are far enough removed from what it is to be “woke” that you don’t know what it is. It might sound familiar, because it echoes religious connotations, as very often a counterfeit does. Scripture uses “awakening” to speak of true spiritual enlightenment. The Bible calls on unbelievers to […]
What Is Trumpism?
Anonymous comments, some I did publish and most I didn’t, and others under my most recent post, in which I briefly mentioned President Trump, were typical of what I get when I ever say his name. They are angry, insulting, unhinged, foul, devoid of reason, and carnal. And they want me to be a better Christian, […]
Sanctification Summary: Christian Holiness or Sanctification—A Summary from Eternity Past to the Eternal State
During the recent Word of Truth Conference at Bethel Baptist Church, I had the privilege of preaching a summary of what Scripture teaches on sanctification. It was suggested that this summary be made into a pamphlet. You can now download the pamphlet on the FaithSaves website by clicking here; it is entitled “Christian Sanctification: A […]
