Health Care Insurance for Dummies
Are there problems with the way we do health care in the United States? Yes. We do get sick and injured, and sometimes we’ve got to go to a doctor or hospital. Doctors and other health care workers should be paid for what they do. Various medicines also cost money to develop and manufacture. If […]
A Must Read as Related to the Gospel, Culture, and Meaning
I commend this article at a blog called “Conservative Christianity. I’m interested in your thoughts as it relates to what the author is saying. I agree with him 100%. I believe that the kind of Christianity that he describes has become mainstream, especially evangelicalism. It has profaned God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. […]

Should We Use “Good Things” to Attract Unbelievers for Evangelism? part two
Someone recently uttered this plaintiff cry regarding unbelievers: How will they hear without attraction? But this is what Paul wrote in Scripture (Romans 10:14b): How shall they hear without a preacher? Does the Bible teach that we must attract unbelievers for them to hear the gospel? Especially if we will use “good things” to do […]
Two Items of Interest
We have the audio sermons coming on our church website again. You can listen and download both now at the same location. Just click on the sermon to get the download function. However, there is an audio player you can listen to right at the site. Also I’ve invited Thomas Ross to be a guest […]
Should We Use “Good Things” to Attract Unbelievers for Evangelism?
Once again, I have places I visit with the interest of contemporary theological matters. I decided to comment here about a program a pastor considered for the stated cause of evangelism. Sometimes this is called “outreach.” I’ve noticed in evangelicalism and often in fundamentalism that almost anything under the heading of “outreach” becomes acceptable by […]
Immediate Pop Culture Relevancy
If there is anything that should not be relevant to pop culture, it is worship. Worship is all about God. And yet, in evangelicalism and in a growing way in fundamentalism, it has become important for the “worship” to be relevant to pop culture. I recently got a form letter from John MacArthur with some […]
BLAME FOR DEFICITS FOR DUMMIES
With this post, I hope to provide some assistance in sorting out the blame for the United States national debt, which is over 12 trillion dollars, amounting to over $113,000 per taxpayer and over $40,000 per citizen. First, President George W. Bush deserves blame for the national debt. When he took office, the national debt […]
Did Anabaptists Believe in Justification by Faith Alone?
Theologian Timothy George, the founding dean of Beeson Divinity School, wrote in his Theology of the Reformers in 1988 (p. 269): Menno, and Anabaptists generally, did not accept Luther’s forensic doctrine of justification by faith alone because they saw it as an impediment to the truth doctrine of a ‘lively’ faith which issues in holy […]
Answering the SharperIron Article on Preservation part five
What is superior, so-called external evidence or Scripture? None of us have seen Jesus. None of us have witnessed His return. Peter saw the Lord in His second coming glory, an “eyewitness of His majesty” on the Mt. of Transfiguration, and yet he said that he had “a more sure word of prophecy.” The predictions […]
