A Good Sign the NFL Season Is Here
I was just taking one day at a time until they started playing one game at a time. I know that the NFL Season is here because now they’re not just talking the talk, but their walking the walk. Some players need to start putting their money where their mouth is, since they’ve already been […]
A Defense of Barry Bonds: My One and Only Defense
First, A Little History Growing up, I collected baseball cards. I still have them. A few of my little league baseball coaches would give us a dime if we won our game, and ten cents would buy a pack of Topps baseball cards with a flat piece of dry bubble gum attached to one of […]
So Does the Bible Mean What It Says About Itself, Or?
I didn’t want a longer title, but if I did, it would have ended like this, “Or Are We Required to Look at Historical Material to Verify What It Says about Itself?” A lot of individuals deny inspiration. Michael Baigent is a man, very well educated in theology and he does. Bart Ehrman (scroll down […]
The Third Rail of Fundamentalist Politics
You’ve heard of the third rail of politics. Social Security. Anyone who deals with the Social Security issue touches the third rail and dies. The third rail, in transportation terminology, is the one that carries the deadly electricity. All around the third rail are warnings not to touch. People don’t touch if they know what’s […]
Observations about Men and the Power of Women
This isn’t the way it should be, but according to sheer pragmatism, I know that if I want to get something from some man, my best opportunity is to have my wife make the phone call. At this juncture, typically a man would write, “this is going to get me in trouble.” Of course, he […]
The Lord Jesus Christ Will Catch Up the Saints Before the Tribulation Begins (part two)
Some might argue that the pretribulational, premillennial rapture of the saints doesn’t have a historical basis. Some might say that amillennialism is the preferred position because this was the view of Augustine and then the Reformers. Others call for a postmillennial return of the Lord because this was a dominant eschatalogical position in 19th century […]
The Carnal Christian
Is there such a thing as a carnal Christian? Consider Romans 7:5: For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. Notice that Paul writes, “When we were in the flesh.” Were. Now look at Romans 8:5-9: […]
My Sikh Issue: Pluralism Versus Relativism
I recently had someone send me a note who was concerned about my physical well-being. He saw this article as having possible death threat implications, especially in the last line of the publication, which reads, “As American Sikh Citizens, Let us defend our religious rights and stop ill minded pastors like Kent from bullying Sikhs.” […]
What Did Charles Spurgeon and H. A. Ironside Say About the Tertiary or Primary Doctrine View?
Most people know who Charles Spurgeon is. One site has accumulated several quotes dealing with this exact topic of the essential and non-essential, tertiary versus primary doctrine issue. One particular blog likes to claim that it is all things Spurgeon. In an article written by the administrator of that blog, Phil Johnson, recently wrote at […]
The Creationist
I walked into my local library, pictured at the left. I can literally walk there in two minutes—up some stairs, cross the street, and I’ve arrived. They just finished building about 5 months ago. Before that, no library in Hercules, CA where I live. Anyway, when I go the library, I walk straight to the […]
