Selective Reformation pt. 3
If the Reformation altered the trajectory of the doctrine of salvation, later work further got eschatology up to biblical speed with premillennialism, but ecclesiology still needs a massive upheaval in evangelicalism and most of fundamentalism. The ecclesiological mess also affects all the other doctrines, because the church is how God intended preservation of truth, so […]
Wedding Story
The sailor in this story grew up in our church until he left for the Navy. Another version of same story. Part Three of this Story.
Michele Bachmann and Submission to Husband
Even the slightest in touch with national politics know about the flap of Michele Bachmann’s submission to her husband issue. To start, here’s what the Bible says about it in Ephesians 5:22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Anyone who has an even rudimentary understanding of the Bible knows this […]
Revival, believer’s baptism, and personal conversion vs. baptismal regeneration and traditional Reformed theology
Revival, believer’s baptism, and the need for personal conversion, and justification by faith alone apart from sacraments are very closely connected, as are baptismal regeneration, traditional Reformed theology, and opposition to revival. Rich Lusk, a high-church Presbyterian who accepts Calvin’s doctrine of baptismal regeneration and consequently rejects the Biblical and Baptist necessity of personal conversion, […]
An Obvious Bibliological Contradiction: Canon — Theological, Text — “Scientific”
In modern bibliology in both evangelicalism and fundamentalism, we got our canon through Divine means, but the text of Scripture through scientific or rational means. Is there a doctrinal basis for this distinction? None at all. The distinction is a purely pragmatic one. It’s a bigger leap for evangelicals and fundamentalists to believe in the […]

Theistic or Divine Correction to the Man-Centered Trajectory of Modern Bibliology
Man has a rebellion problem. He wants charge of everything or anything in defiance of Divine rule. God is a Spirit. And since men can’t see Him, they very often act as though He either doesn’t exist or He is relatively uninvolved in what He created. We know from what He inspired, the Bible, that […]
Between Two Worlds: How Evangelicals and Fundamentalists Keep Scripture from the World in Which We Live
British evangelical John Stott died in the last week. Several years ago, he wrote a book on preaching, Between Two Worlds. The “between two worlds” metaphor says that preaching bridges the gap between two worlds, the world of the biblical text, an ancient world, and the world of the contemporary hearer. In an older interview […]
Selective Reformation pt. 2
Afterwards a story is told. The story is history. It might be historical that someone believed something, but that doesn’t mean that something is true. It might just mean that somebody believed it. That’s all. And that has some significance. Some. But usually too much to too many people. What is written as history often […]
