Evangelicals Move the Goalposts on Adiaphora
Adiaphora is not a biblical word. It is a transliteration of a Greek word not found in the New Testament. It’s more of a philosophical word that has now become a theological, practical category. It means, “indifferent things,” and in technical language, “disputable matters,” and refers to what some might call, “Romans 14 issues,” speaking […]
The Convenient Repudiation of Fundamentalists by Evangelical Leaders Now Less Convenient
When I look at the spectrum of evangelicalism (not the book), and I’ve been watching it the over 35 years of my entire adult life, I see what seems to be a new fondness of especially conservative evangelicals for fundamentalism. I even hear them calling themselves fundamentalists like they never would before. You can now […]

Biblical Evangelism and an Approach to the Possible Success of Bill AB 2943 in California
News from California travels around the country, so perhaps you have heard about Bill AB 2943 here in the state legislature and its relationship to religious liberty.

Churches and their Popular Inclusion of Dress Information on their Websites
Our church doesn’t advertise a dress code for our services, contrary to the recent fad where churches address it on their websites. It’s very popular. It now seems like vital, almost required, information for churches, which would likely sneer at churches that teach on dress or even have scriptural dress standards. Almost exclusively they want […]

Paul Obliterates Pandering in Galatians: His Antidote to Pandering
Part One The Judaizers at Galatia pandered to the Jews in the region. They wanted to make a “fair show” to their ethnicity and they wished to avoid persecution. Circumcision was a convenient emphasis over the cross of Christ, even though it nullified grace and the work of Christ became no effect unto them. The […]
Paul Obliterates Pandering in Galatians: Social Justice Panderers
Other Posts on Pandering from the Past (One, Two, Three, Four, not necessarily in order) Paul summarizes the issue he has addressed with the Galatian churches in the last little segment of his letter in Galatians 6:11-18. In the midst of that finale, he writes in verses 12-14: 12 As many as desire to make […]

Open Mindedness: Relatively New In History — Why?
I don’t know when it was that I first heard the English terminology, “open-minded.” I searched and found it first in English literature in 1808 in a book titled, Solitude, by Johann Georg Zimmermann originally in Dutch (Über die Einsamkeit) with the following English translation: How frequently do we observe, even in persons of rank and […]
