For the Rest of This Season, I’m Giving Up NBA Basketball
We don’t have cable television and haven’t had it. However, I can watch the NBA online some at TNT and ESPN. I can keep up with the NBA by checking on the scores and watching highlights. That means I’m seeing advertisements that support the NBA. I’m very unhappy with the NBA right now in light […]
The Sinful Snooze Button Mortified: The Sheet on Sleep
The Bible says: “As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed” (Proverbs 26:14). The large majority of the time, hitting the snooze button is a lack of temperance rather than something Biblically justifiable that can be done for the glory of God. Furthermore, just as hitting the snooze button […]
Personal Motivation to Evangelize
Among all the days of the week, I’m most regular on Wednesday for door-to-door evangelism. I go every week on Wednesday. I should go more, but I make sure I go every week by scheduling it for our church every Wednesday and leading it myself. Even though I schedule it and I do go, I […]
The Bible As Scientific Challenge to Climate Change Speculation
An American actor spoke to the World Government Summit in Dubai this weekend. The Associated Press reports: Hollywood star Robert De Niro took aim at the Trump administration’s stance on climate change, telling a packed audience in the Middle East that he was visiting from a “backward” country suffering from “temporary insanity.” De Niro said: I […]
Abiding in Christ: What Does it Mean? part 9 of 9: Miscellaneous Notes & Conclusion
The Conclusion: What it Means to Abide in Christ All believers abide in Christ; they persevere in characteristic obedience to Him and fellowship with Him through His Word (John 17:17; Ephesians 5:26; 1 Peter 2:2). The glorious promise to saints, “ye shall abide in Him” (1 John 2:27), should motivate them to ever closer communion with their […]
Prayer Versus a Wish
Sometimes you want things to work out for someone a certain way, and the appropriate statement seems to have become, “I’ll pray for that to work out in that certain way.” However, you don’t know if it is God’s will. You don’t know that you are praying in God’s will. A good and scriptural alternative […]

Who Causes Division? The Claim for the High Ground of Unity
If you don’t know what else to say, and you’re losing the argument, claim the high ground of unity and accuse your opponent of division. Running for president in 2000, George W. Bush famously said in an interview, “I’m a uniter, not a divider.” Of course. He was also a compassionate conservative, which contrasts with […]
Abiding in Christ: What Does it Mean? part 8 of 9: Exposition of John 15:6-11
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. The one who does not, as a summary of his life, abide (aorist tense), or continue faithful to Christ, is cast into hell fire, where […]
The Suicide of Evangelicalism
Truth is true. You can believe it like the dismount in the crunch position in a fall from El Capitan in Yosemite. There isn’t going to be a nice landing. It’s true. It’s not kinda true. The Bible is true like that, even more so, if it were possible to be more true. Truth is […]
