Make Not Provision for the Flesh
The Apostle Paul writes in Romans 13:14: But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. He makes two commands: Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ Make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof The first one is positive, the […]
The Real, Actual Reason Why the Capitulation on Almost Every (Maybe Every) Doctrinal, Practical, or Cultural Issue Today
Surpassed two million hits for this blog today. ****************** The sinful nature of humanity wants what it wants. It doesn’t want to be hindered from what it wants even on the best of days. It will do many things to get what it wants. I see it in scripture and I’ve watched it. Everyone is […]
Matthew 18, Public Sinning or False Teaching, and Gossip Versus Revealing a Matter

Neither Were They Thankful
In the garden, Eve lost track of all the trees. Her world became the one she could not eat. I would call this an immature view of the garden, considering immaturity to be a focus on self. The primary aspect of the immaturity of children is that they are selfish. Mine! Going further, Eve might […]
God’s Will of Being a Total Truth-Keeping Person: The Most Obvious Bifurcation of Truth in God’s World Today
God’s truth doesn’t stop anywhere in the world. It applies at some center point and in every place proceeding from that center, marking the center anywhere you want to put it. It doesn’t matter if there is a center, His truth covers everything. Some might put a center to it in order to emphasize that […]
Assurance of Salvation: Repeat the Sinner’s Prayer Again?
What should you tell someone who doubts whether he is saved, that is, who lacks assurance? A relatively common piece of advice today is to have him repeat the sinner’s prayer again. Churches that follow this methodology often give assurance initially based on the (alleged) promises that those who sincerely repeat the sinner’s prayer will […]
See What You Made Me Do! So I’m Going To Do Far Worse!
“See what you made me do!” A manifesto follows that blames bad behavior on someone else. Old Testament prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel both convey a now millennial anthem: “my parents ate sour grapes, so now my teeth are set on edge.” Blame empowers bad and then worse behavior. God said, “No, the soul that sinneth, […]
The Seductive and Destructive Lie of Art as Personal Taste, pt.2
Part One, and Two Recent Posts on Art: One and Two (and Here’s a Third from Further Past) Exodus 31 verses 1 through 6 read: 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3 And I have filled him with […]
The Seductive and Destructive Lie of Art as Personal Taste, pt.1
Two Recent Posts on Art: One and Two (and Here’s a Third from Further Past) Art says both a lot about you, but it also influences you. Some of what is called “art,” as I’ve written recently, really isn’t art, but that you call it “art” also says a lot about you. Like everything else […]
One Final Post on the NKJV Textual Deviations from the Text Behind the KJV
Mark Ward has closed all the comments on his blog, having admitted a degree of defeat on the issue of zero deviations of the text behind the NKJV from the underlying text of the KJV. I provided 20 possibilities, and I think that fifteen were still true. Mark is admitting to six. In the conversation, […]
