The Rich Young Ruler: Tell-Tale Passage for Soteriology, Number One, Pt. 3
The Jews of Jesus’ day needed Jesus as Savior. No doubt. They wanted a Messiah who would deliver them from Rome and usher them right into their kingdom. They were missing the suffering of Christ. They ignored Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53. However, it was also true that Jesus was King. He was the King […]
The Rich Young Ruler: Tell-Tale Passage for Soteriology, Number One, Pt. 2
When Jesus talked to the rich young ruler, as recorded in Luke 18:18-30, what did he think Jesus was talking about? We really don’t have to have any doubt about this. Look at what Peter says to Jesus in v. 28: “We have left all and followed thee.” Unlike the “certain ruler,” Peter and those […]
The Rich Young Ruler: Tell-Tale Passage for Soteriology, Number One
Your take on a few passages in the New Testament will most likely tell where you fall in the spectrum of belief on the required saving response to the gospel message. I don’t believe there is a more important discussion today. Nothing bothers me more than wrong teachings about salvation, some of which are found […]

The study in this post is now part of a larger study available online by clicking here: “The just shall live by faith”— A Study of Faith’s Connection with Salvation in All Its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fullness The part here began with the words: In Genesis 15:6, Abraham was counted righteous.
A Modern Perversion of the Temple
This could be a part two to Monday’s post that dealt with Shepherd’s Conference and Carl Trueman and more. *************** The Lord Jesus entered Jerusalem to great exaltation, as superficial as it might have been. It was true. He was King. He was Lord. He had a royal agenda. He rejected the religion of the […]
An Irretrievable Irony
Last week, I watched a little of the live stream of the Shepherd’s Conference in Southern California. It was the technically best live streaming I had ever seen, very convenient. I saw very little because of work and schedule, but I did see a little music, some of a panel discussion, and some of an […]
Are Calvinism and the TULIP Dangerous Errors?
I am going to continue my series on “The Just Shall Live by Faith,” Lord willing. I thought, however, that it would be appropriate to take a one-week break and post the following analysis of Calvinism. In relation to the points of the TULIP of Calvinism, Scripture teaches that man is pervasively and awfully depraved […]
The “Fundamentalist Practice of Separation”?
I’m glad Fred Butler is even thinking about separation, let alone talking about it. It’s rare to have an evangelical say anything about it. They usually are attacking separation (as they are here), but you’re thankful for whatever you can get. At the ETS in San Francisco, I asked the panel why no books on […]
Don’t Fix Stupid: Stupid Doesn’t Need Fixing
God hath chosen the foolish (stupid) things of the world to confound the wise 1 Corinthians 1:27 In last week’s discussion about the blood, we had seen how someone said (and since retracted the pejorative) about people who took a certain position that disagreed with him, “You can’t fix stupid.” There’s a lot I could […]
