Some Common Sense about the Fort Hood Murders
I just returned from the East Coast and we’re starting the Word of Truth Conference this Wednesday evening, but I wanted to comment on the Fort Hood murders now that I’m back. I really have two major points that I want to make right now and I might make more later, but I want to […]
November West Point Visit
I’m at West Point. Last night my wife and I saw our son for the first time since June 29th, when we dropped him off on “R” Day (reception day). The picture to your left is the barracks from the plain. We got up early today, 3am California time, to see the breakfast formation on […]
West Point on CNN
CNN visited West Point. At 20 seconds into the video, you’ll see someone very familiar in the middle of the class, back row, with glasses. They visited his math class. He did an 18.6 mile ruck march on Saturday in a storm. (Get a load of the Navy professor at 2:20 and what he says […]
When A Classification Slanders
In the summer of 2009 at a Bible faculty summit for fundamentalist Bible college and seminary faculties, Jeff Straub read a paper entitled “The Fundamentalist Challenge for the 21st Century: Do We Have a Future?” in which he attempted to classify segments or branches of fundamentalism by assigning characteristics with certain titles for each branch […]
Word of Truth Conference Site
As many of you know by now, we’ve got a conference here at our church November 11-15, Wed-Sun, called the Word of Truth Conference. My friend Jack Lamb has created a website to be home base online for the conference here. Feel free to bookmark it along with my blog and the church blog.
How Much Should Church Leadership Be Involved In Governmental or Political Matters?
Along with most of my friends, I believe that America has reached an all time low in the way of moral decline and spiritual discernment. While we are going about doing ministry in and through the church, it seems that the coverage and the most tangible impact in those areas that distress us the most […]
Complicating Evangelism
I was talking to someone recently about evangelism. He said that he had talked to a pastor who had studied this out and found that door-to-door, the cold call, was the sixth best way of evangelism. The pastor had gone to some sales classes and took what he learned and developed a formula of how […]
Ekklesia
Ancient Greece rose out of the earliest cultures of Europe around the shores and islands of the Aegean Sea. Long before Homer, ancestor worship made family ties very strong and after that the families came together to form tribes and then villages. Villages joined to form the polis, city, from which our word “politics” comes. […]
King James Version: Elizabethan English?
I wanted to explore the idea about whether the King James Version actually was Elizabethan English. Elizabethan, of course, refers to Queen Elizabeth, who reigned until she died in 1603. To understand what was the language of the day, we should consider the writings of William Shakespeare, who died in 1616. The last of Shakespeare’s […]
Bibliology and Separation part 3
We practice separation to protect the purity of doctrine and practice, since we are not our own and the One to Whom we belong, God, is holy. We are to be holy as He is holy. We do this out of love for God, His church, His doctrine, and His practice. We want to protect […]
