The Irony of the Resolved Conference
Every year Grace Community Church (GCC, John MacArthur) puts on a youth gathering called the Resolved Conference. I’m not sure where the idea of the “youth conference” came from, but I know before GCC invented theirs, it was popular in revivalist fundamentalism. I don’t know of a “youth conference” that doesn’t play off of the […]
Fundamentalism Associating with Syncretistic, Pagan Profanity
A blogroll contributor for SharperIron (SI), a professing fundamentalist web-blog and forum, is promoting hip-hop and rap music (I warn you about the lewdness of this link, blaspheming our blessed Lord). Even though SharperIron does not endorse everything that’s said among their blogroll participants (in this case paleoevangelical, Ben Wright), this promotion of rap and […]

What Kind of Music Should Be Used in the Church
I’ve heard some criticism of our church music. At least three different visiting preachers have said something. A visiting family member has said something in the past and a couple of church members through the years. Here’s what I have heard from the preachers. First, visitors don’t know these songs. They’re unfamiliar to visitors. Another […]
Aaron on TSKT, part four —- Introduction
Aaron Blumer has written his fourth post on “the doctrine of preservation.” Let’s be completely forthright here. Aaron says he wants a “doctrine of preservation” that is “taught in Scripture.” I hope so. I would like to believe so. But do we really believe that, in essence, the following is what is taught in the […]
Was the King James Version the Standard for the English Speaking People for 300 Years?
Recently in a comment section of a blog post, someone (an Erik DiVietro) asserted that the King James Version was not dethroned as the standard for the English language only because of authoritarian government control. That didn’t sound right to me. It was something that I hadn’t read. Now I had not read much on […]
The They-Just-Talk-About Dodge (Dodge #1 in the Dodge Series)
If I’m a chronic liar, I want to change the subject from lying. It’s a minor issue. What’s important is the gospel, justification by faith, bodily resurrection, and the deity of Christ. If you even bring up lying, it’s obvious that you are not interested in the deep doctrines of God. In the way that […]
Guess That Cadet
During the final week of school this year at the United States Military Academy at West Point, there was a traditional alumni ceremony, laying a wreath at the foot of Thayer’s statue at trophy point. The alumni walked through a corridor of cadets lined up across from one another. On the left here is a […]
Two Things in the Realm of Current Events that Seem Obvious
First Thing. United Nations and hundreds of nations independently castigate Israel for her recent incident on the ship traveling to Gaza. Israel’s military was responding to obvious provocation. On the other hand, they say nothing about North Korea’s unprovoked sinking of a South Korean ship, killing 46. This indicates at least rampant and widespread anti-semitism […]
Canonicity: How Does It Work?
In the comment section here at What Is Truth, someone recently wrote these statements: I have a few a priori beliefs. They include: God exists, He has revealed Himself to us in the Bible (which consists of the 66 books we have today). . . . . As for the canonicity question, I’m unlikely to […]
