Not a Big Disappearing Act
In a discussion during discipleship with a man, part of the lesson on eschatology (study of last things), we got onto the topic of “how people will be fooled by the Antichrist during the tribulation period.” Here’s the thing. A huge best-selling series has been written about it, The Left Behind series. Even many unbelievers […]
Government, Family, Church: Why More?
Seven days. Spoken word. How God created the earth. Tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. How God lived on earth. We can’t flee from Him, fool Him, or fight Him. He understands all mysteries and all knowledge. Nothing occurs to Him. Oh, and then He is love, and He loves us. […]
What the Evangelicals Have On the Fundamentalists
Sometimes evangelicals are called new-evangelicals. Why? At one time, everyone who believed the gospel (the only Scriptural one) were evangelicals. Then liberalism came, a group split and they were called fundamentalists, hence, fundamentalism. Then fundamentalism split over separation issues. The less separated called themselves evangelicals. The fundamentalists called them new-evangelicals. (Incidentally, because of history, everybody […]
Any Fault in Fideism?
In the very last paragraph, next to last sentence, of our book Thou Shalt Keep Them, I write: “The only Scriptural approach to the doctrine of the preservation of Scripture is the fideistic approach.” I like the sound of fideistic versus evidentialistic or rationalistic, don’t you? And yet, that seems to be the big problem […]
Highway Work
If you get to Chicago much, then you know that you can’t get many places without stopping for construction. Several thoughts cross my mind while I wait. Shouldn’t repairs finally end? If these guys are doing a good job, shouldn’t the highway be getting better? I’m convinced that Mayor Daley has a deal with the […]
Something You’ll All Want to Hear
Mark Twain said he could live for two months with a good compliment. Solomon wrote: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21). From my point of view, I think people have a form of amnesia about nice things that are said. They remember one vague criticism much easier than one […]
But I Don’t Know HOW to Forgive
In 1970 Mitsuo Fuchida the lead bomber for the Japanese at Pearl Harbor wrote this: “I would give anything to retract my actions of twenty-nine years ago at Pearl Harbor, but it is impossible. Instead, I now work at striking the death-blow to the basic hatred which infests the human heart and causes such tragedies. […]

Did He Invite?
In Mark 1, Mark encapsulates the work of the Lord Jesus Christ as: “Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (vv. 14, […]
