Separation 101: Associations and Separation from Those Who Call Themselves Brothers
This is a new and ongoing series on separation (get our book A Pure Church to read something important on separation). Whenever I write about anything related to separation, it will be under Separation 101. ****************** Last week I linked to a wacky post in which a young evangelical commented on separation. It is rare […]
Dangers in Samaritan Ministries
Dangers in Samaritan Ministries part 2 Dangers in Samaritan Ministries part 3 Health Threats from Samaritan Ministries part 1 Health Threats from Samaritan Ministries part 2 I cannot say that I am excited about writing this blog post. I am a member of Samaritan Ministries, and I think it is definitely superior to traditional health […]
Fundamentalist Floundering, pt. 2
If you visit an art museum, maybe you remember the surreal or avant garde in the modern section. They look at an object and then allow their own personal chaos to go to work. Painting inside the lines doesn’t really matter, just put the paint wherever you want, and especially use a broad brush. […]
Fundamentalist Floundering, pt. 1
The commentary under Kevin Bauder’s recent open letter to Lance Ketchum exposed a trove of fundamentalist absurdity. I can’t stay away from two of the points, both of which strayed from the thread of Bauder’s letter. Mike Harding, a fundamentalist leader, wrote: Lance Ketchum in his published post by necessary implication condemns the London Baptist […]
“The just shall live by faith”— A Study of the Relationship of Faith to Salvation in its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fulness, part 2
Before getting into my post, as an Eagle Scout, let me mention that the Boy Scouts are considering the acceptance of sodomites in their organization. This is an awful idea–they would be asking for an increase in child molestation, and sharing a tent with a sodomite, not to mention the group showers, etc. out in […]
A Really Nice, Gentle, Loving Open Letter, Because That’s What I’m Calling It, to Kevin Bouder (sic)
Dear Kevin, I like reading you, your (sic) a good writer, and by your own admission, you are well read in so many different philosophers, Hegal (sic) being one. Don’t think that anyone is attempting to embarras (sic) anyone with so many sic erat scriptem (sic). I’m just trying to be sure to be careful […]
How Would Jesus or Paul Give Evangelicals Their Opportunity to Change?
We don’t have to guess at how Jesus or Paul dealt with people teaching error, because we can read it in the Bible. They had plenty of opportunities and we are left with lots of examples. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). “All things” […]
Faith Is Not A Work
Before I launch into today’s obsession (which I’ve been told must be myself looking to disabuse everyone else in the world of their errors, as I cloister in a pristine perch, breathing pure spiritual air), I refer you to an amazing article by David Mamet, whom some of you might recognize as an excellent wordsmith. […]
“The just shall live by faith”— A Study of the Relationship of Faith to Salvation in its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fulness, part 1
The post below is the first, Lord willing, of a series I will do on the relationship of faith and salvation. The study took me a number of months, is part of my Ph. D. dissertation, and was spiritually refreshing and a definite blessing. I wanted to first note, however, that Tuesday was the 40th […]
R.I.P. Separation in Fundamentalism
Attending a fundamentalist college, I heard some teaching about separation. In hindsight, it wasn’t anything clear or systematic. I was never required to read one book on it. Now I know that there was little written on it anyway, maybe one book that dealt with it in any serious way, written by Ernest Pickering (since […]
