Selective Reformation pt. 5
We would all be better off if all we cared about was whether the Bible actually taught something or not. Instead, we trumped that idea with keeping together coalitions and being popular with the world. I think this is most obvious in the refusal to give serious consideration to what Scripture says about the church. […]
Was David Cloud Right in His Exposure and Reproof of West Coast Worship?
David Cloud recently produced the following video exposes of the music of West Coast Baptist College and Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California. To show how out-of-touch I was on this issue, I didn’t even hear about it until about three weeks ago,when the whole shabang actually started in March of this year. Once I […]
Opposing the Monster He Helped Create
For several years now, especially in his published materials, John MacArthur, perhaps the leader of the conservative evangelicals, has exposed and opposed a major element of pragmatism and worldliness in evangelicalism. He’s obviously alarmed by it. I have enjoyed what he has written about it and much of what he has said, including what he […]
Justin Bieber Wears Women’s Pants
One of the yahoo news features revealed that Justin Bieber confessed that he wears women’s pants. To add some detail, the top article called this “cross dressing.” Except, well, no one even knew it. Nobody would have known, if he hadn’t said. Can it be cross dressing to do something about which no one would […]
The Scriptural Problem of Kevin Bauder’s Definition of “Fellowship”
Coming out this month from Zondervan is one of its “four views” books, this one Four Views on the Spectrum of Evangelicalism. The four views of the book are represented by four different men with differing perspectives on what should be true evangelicalism. Collin Hansen, one of the editors, writes in the introduction: “This book’s […]
Except Ye “Repent,” More Sword Aberration
In so many cases in certain branches of fundamentalism, preaching isn’t judged by its absolute faithfulness to the text as it is to its style and effects. Someone can preach something that a particular passage does not say, and many people respond positively to it, and it was a good sermon, maybe even a great […]
Modernism Criticizes Post-Modernism: What Of It?
Bill Whittle has produced some very informative, helpful, and still entertaining presentations for his PJTV, this another one of them. At worst, it is a modernist criticism of postmodernism. At one point, Whittle says progressives “are stealing. . . . stealing the credibility of the word truth. . . and gluing it on to the […]
Is There An Objective Standard or Line for Modesty from the Bible for Women?
You look at pictures of any women from the United States previous the 20th century and their legs are completely covered to the ankles. Even their swimwear covered them past the knees. I’m not talking about Christian women. Just women. In the twentieth century the skirts or dresses first moved up to the knee. And […]
About “Leaving Fundamentalism”
The August 19, 2011 Sword of the Lord featured a top-of-the-fold article by Rick Flanders, When a Brother Says He’s Leaving Fundamentalism. I left fundamentalism. I’m not saying that he was answering my ongoing series here at WIT (parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), but it relates directly to it […]
Selective Reformation pt. 4
Catholic ecclesiology says that the church is Catholic. You can pick your jaw off the floor now. But the church isn’t Catholic. Catholicism invented Catholicism. Here’s the Catholic definition from a Catholic catechism: To believe that the Church is “holy” and “catholic,” and that she is “one” and “apostolic” (as the Nicene Creed adds), is […]
