Christmas in the Apocalypse
At the end of Revelation 11, we see the seventh trumpet of judgment blown. Heaven rejoices. Earth rages. God judges. But we don’t get the actual content of the trumpet until Revelation 15. Revelation 12 to 14 relate the Satanic view of the tribulation period on earth. The rest of the book shifts back and […]
“Not Given to Much Wine” and Abstaining from Alcohol
More controversy seems to exist than ever in churches over the drinking of alcoholic beverages. If I say it isn’t a difficult subject, I’ll be castigated, but I’m going to say it: “I don’t think it is a difficult subject”—at least not until recently. We’ve got more permissible drinkers than ever in evangelical churches. I […]
Flock Teaching
God uses metaphors in Scripture as a figure of speech to communicate His truth. In some prominent passages, New Testament authors use the “flock” analogy as one of these pictures to portray a particular theological concept. “Flock,” of course, starts with an agrarian reality with actual sheep, as seen in the nativity text in Luke […]
Since Jesus Sang In the Church, Well….

Expecting Pastors to Pastor
Evangelicals and fundamentalists still judge success by size of congregation, even most young fundamentalists who grew up with and are critical of the Hyles movement. Their favorites pastor large churches and/or publish books. They are not evaluated mainly by whether or not they obey Scripture. Specifically, they are not judged based upon the pastoral epistles, […]
Church Growth Hypocrisy
John MacArthur has written several volumes exposing and refuting unscriptural church growth methodologies (Ashamed of the Gospel, Hard to Believe, Truth War, Our Sufficiency in Christ, etc.). Much of what he has written is excellent. In the last twenty years, when an unbiblical trend or fad has become popular, MacArthur has dealt with it by […]
Epistemology and the History of the Church
Epistemology is the branch of science concerned with “how we know what we know?” What can we trust as an accurate source of knowledge? Scripture is the final arbiter of all truth claims. The first verse that comes to mind is James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh […]
WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE AUDIO
Our friend Jack Lamb is uploading the audio from the WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE (Nov 11-15, 2009) on to the conference website. This might take a little while, but the first teaching session is up. It is actually the third session of the four teaching sessions, the one on Romans 16:17-18 with Pastor David Sutton […]
Women Dressing Like Men?
Even the world understands that trousers are male dress.

Notice the trombone right in the middle (with the music).
