Forward or Backward?
Why reelect our President? Of course, because a vote for Mitt Romney would bring back the failed policies of the Bush years, you know, what got us in this mess in the first place. You’ve been hearing the above same argument for awhile now, even in the 2008 campaign against John McCain. Mostly, I […]
What NT Churches can Do to Oppose Sodomite Marriage, Abortion, and Economic Theft
It is certainly Biblical for us to use our rights as citizens, as Paul used his Roman citizenship in Acts, and for us to follow Christ’s command to be salt and light in our society–nevertheless, we are also not to violate Biblical precepts about separation, nor neglect the fact that preaching the gospel and making […]
The Eclecticism of Today’s Churches
I’ve got so many series going that it’s hard to keep track. I haven’t finished up my Church Kids Go to College and am not even close to done with Why I’m Not a Calvinist, so you can expect more there. There are a few others that I know I’m not done with, but a […]
The Man from Moscow Misses It on Music
When I say Moscow and music, you might think Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, or Rimsky-Korsakov, but for the moment instead think Douglas Wilson from Moscow, Idaho. Wilson is called by many the father of Christian classical education, so he is an influential thinker among evangelicals and even among fundamentalists. In the last week, he has written an […]
A Paradigmatic Example of New Age Medicine and How to Expose and Analyze it, part 2
The following is a continuation of the letter of part 1. Not only is muscle testing an occult technique, it is scientifically impossible. It does not follow the Biblical model of subduing and having dominion over the earth by investigating created processes through the scientific method (Genesis 1:28). It fails the Biblical imperatives to “Prove all […]
Going Too Far with Separation?
I like to write about separation, especially in light of our book coming out this year on ecclesiastical separation. Stay tuned for its launch. ****************** A few weeks ago, I wandered over to the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International (FBFI) blog (Proclaim & Defend), and saw that Larry Oats, longtime faculty and administration at Maranatha Baptist […]
College for Church Kids, pt. 3
When we make any decision, we start with, does it obey Scripture? Christian colleges teach the Bible. They even require Bible classes. If your child attends one of these classes, he will be receiving biblical doctrine and practice. Does God permit a child of God to learn a skewing of scripture? I established in […]
A Paradigmatic Example of New Age Medicine and How to Expose and Analyze it, part 1
What is below is an adjusted version of a real letter by someone on this subject, pertaining to an actual chiropractor named Jay Fox, a practicioner and advocate of muscle testing/Applied Kinesiology, homeopathy, and traditional chiropractic techniques. Minor changes have been introduced, and the name of the individual visiting Chiropractor Fox changed to “Judy,” representative […]
College for Church Kids, pt. 2
I’ll be continuing with the actual history of one Bible onlyism, also known as KJO, and why I’m not a Calvinist, but I’m busier than usual, ready to leave for a few days, so I’ll move ahead with this series, because it’s easier right now to write about. Stay tuned. There is a part one […]
James 5:14-20 and Unconventional or Alternative Medicine
As we discovered in previous posts on James 5:14-20 (this is the fifth post on the passage; part one is here), James 5 requires the use of medicine in its commendation of oil. Nobody has been led by the Holy Spirit to reject medicine and the best available human means through which God heals the […]
