The Kaufman, Kafkaesque Performance “Art”/Hoax That Is Most of Professing Christianity Today
Last week a hoax resulted in some believing that the “late” Andy Kaufman was still alive. Some had already felt he had faked his death in 1984. I knew little of Kaufman. I remembered seeing him once on television when I was a teenager — I never saw one episode of Taxi, a show on […]
A Potentially High Interest Investment that Can be done with Christian and Socially Conscious Principles — Peer-to-Peer Lending
Prosper, a peer-to-peer lending firm, offers opportunities for a high-interest investment—it advertises an average return of around 9%. What is peer-to-peer lending? The adequate summary below is from an article in Wikipedia: Peer-to-peer lending (also known as person-to-person lending, peer-to-peer investing, and social lending; abbreviated frequently as P2P lending) is the practice of lending money to […]
The Falsehood of English Separatism
Many who profess to be Baptist today claim the English separatist view of Baptist history. They say that Baptists began during and as a part of the Protestant Reformation. And yet they are “Baptists.” I ask, “How?” Just as examples, Roman Catholics don’t teach immersion for believers only, don’t believe justification by faith, don’t teach […]

How is your growth in the knowledge of your Triune God?
As a believer, you are to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ, and of the Triune God revealed through Christ (2 Peter 3:18, etc.) You are to love your God with all your mind, as well as all your soul and all your strength. How well do you know the Triune […]
Reformed Continuationists: Strange Fire or Not?
We have our Word of Truth Conference this week. You’ll at least have audio from the conference, some before it’s over and all shortly thereafter, Lord-willing. You’ll probably have video. I’m looking into live-streaming. We’ve never done it. ++++++ I’m also planning on finishing the series on Ekklesia, or the last part of that series, which would […]
I-MAGINATION: The God of Truth Replaced in an Age of Apostasy
Bethel Baptist Church will hold its fifth annual Word of Truth Conference this week Wednesday to Sunday, November 6-10. It’s a beautiful time of the year in Northern California, unlike some of the rest of the country. The first three years of the conference were on the purity of the church, and a book came […]
John Wesley — heretic or hero?
Historic Baptists and fundamentalists who obtain their history mainly from sanitized and hagiographical Protestant sources often have a very inaccurate view of the theology of John Wesley. The following post should serve as a corrective, and will bring up some of the facts often left out of the sanitized and hagiographical accounts. 1.) Wesley was […]
Ekklesia Means “Assembly”, pt. 2
When we get to Jesus’ usage of ekklesia (will spell it either way, ekklesia or ecclesia), we haven’t read one usage of ekklesia yet. Some might think, “We have read it, because it’s found in the Septuagint (LXX), which was completed a century or two before Christ.” I don’t know that or believe that, so […]
Ekklesia Means “Assembly”
Ekklesia, the Greek word translated “church” in the KJV, already existed in the Greek language before the New Testament was written under the inspiration of God by its human authors. In Greek literature, it means “assembly.” Historians report that it means “assembly.” An ekklesia was only an “assembly.” There was no universal or mystical sense […]
