What’s the Scoop on the New King James Version?
I’ve noticed critical/eclectic text guys wondering, if the text is really the issue, why the King James Version supporters don’t support the New King James Version. It’s supposed to be one of those gotcha moments. We’re bumbling and fumbling, exposed as the English inspirationists or preservationists that we must be. I’m sitting here at my […]
Allegations: Schismatic, a Bad Name, and Arrogance
Pastor Mike Harding, who commented much more nicely on the first post of the Bibliology and Separation series, wrote this at SharperIron on September 23, 2009: I was reading Kent Brandenburg’s blog about this matter. One of the comments he allowed to be posted compared myself, Doran, and Pratt as using the tactics of the […]
Bibliology and Separation part two
A fundamentalist recently carved out some very narrow doctrinal ground over which he would separate. He said he’d divide over the belief that God re-inspired an English translation of scripture. He would break fellowship with those who hold to that doctrinal error. Besides that one specific point, he didn’t mention anyone else from whom he […]
Bibliology and Separation
Two posts were written during the last week about separation over faulty bibliology. The first to my attention was an essay written by David Doran, president of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary at his blog. The link to Doran’s article was tweeted by Phil Johnson at his twitter site. Then I read a comment (another more […]
Honoring Joshua Bernard, Marine Corporal, and Bringing Awareness to Rules of Engagement
We’ve seen mainly controversy over the publishing of a photo of Marine Corporal Joshua Bernard and his recent death in Afghanistan. To start though, I would like to honor his commitment to duty and service to our nation. According to the testimony of his father in this video, his fellow Marines called him “holy man” […]
Does Accommodation to Culture Help Evangelism?
My last post, an evaluation of Stephen Davis’ article on church planters at SharperIron, triggered my thinking on a major theme in his piece, that is, the place of culture in the evangelism of the lost. Here’s the way Davis’ pictured it: You might be surprised at how many people think that new churches should […]
Church Planting Foolishness
My wife happened to be sitting next to me when I was reading this article on church planting over at SharperIron. Yes, I look at their main post to see what they’re talking about and I get sucked in. The moral of the story might be to stop looking there any more. I know that. […]
A True Statement on Dealing with a Disagreement on an Issue
Dave Doran, pastor of Inter-City Baptist Church and president of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, recently made this statement over at his blog. As an example, if someone wants to preach a message on women never wearing pants, then the burden on me would be to evaluate the arguments that are made and, if I disagree, […]
WOT

The dates for the 2009 Word of Truth Conference are November 11-15, Wednesday through Sunday. During the evenings of Wednesday through Friday, there will be […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part five
Let’s review some things. God prohibits drinking alcoholic beverage in Proverbs 23:31. The terms yayin, oinos, and shekar, translated “wine” and “strong drink,” can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and this must be indicated by the context in which they are used. Now a question. Having those two points in mind, how does a particular […]
