Preparing to Write on this Blog Post
I can’t take the time to write today, my regular day. I like writing and miss it when I don’t. It is an opportunity to get down what I think about something we should understand. However, when I do write again, I will be writing about this by Rick Flanders, because it represents unbiblical ideas […]
Worship and the Ark Narrative of 1 Chronicles, pt. 5
After release from captivity in Babylon, the Chronicles provided hope for the future, very much wrapped up in the Davidic covenant. 1 Chronicles starts with David, David, and more David. And what set David apart from other kings, besides the covenant, was worship. Worship sits at the apex of 1 Chronicles with the ark narrative […]

Is Conscience the Guide for Goodness?
Paul said that even the Gentiles have the law written in their hearts (Rom 2:15a) and their conscience bears witness of this by accusing or excusing them. The conscience itself is not the standard of behavior, but the law written in the heart. Despite a depraved, sinful nature, every human starts out with a default […]

Coherent or Incoherent Imagination, Depending
First, a little office cleaning. I’ll be continuing my unpopular series on the ark narrative. Doing doctrinal or exegetical pieces like that indicates that controversy does in fact sell. Notice the feeding frenzy on the Petraeus story now that the affair is involved. This is not say, however, that I write controversy for audience. […]
Separation Confusion in So-Called Classic , Historical, or Traditional Fundamentalism
I feel sorry for fundamentalists. Let me explain. The Bible teaches separation. It is clear. If you want to know what the Bible teaches on separation, read A Pure Church, a 300 plus page volume with a full scripture index, and excellent exegesis of the appropriate and pertinent passages. The teaching in the book does […]

A Tipping Point and a New America
I believe that the 2012 election is a symptom of a new America. Even if there are some minor shifts in ebb and flow, where economic reality smacks enough people in the face that Republicans could in the future eek out victories with a more talented politician than Mitt Romney, the tide has still turned.
