Abiding in Christ: What Does it Mean? part 3 of 9, Word Study Concluded
Php 1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; In this passage, Paul’s “abiding” with the Philippians was his continuing with them, “coming to” them, and “seeing” them again; it was his bodily presence with them, rather than his death. Paul abode with […]
So Long, Sola: Convenient Evangelical Sola Scriptura
I’m sola scriptura. I’m contending almost all evangelicals now just use sola scriptura. They throw down the sola scriptura card without actually being sola scriptura. It’s hot to say that you are sola scriptura, sola anything. Amazon prime has sola banners to hang up front your theater shaped worship center. For a Protestant to say he’s […]
WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE 2017
This year from Wednesday November 8 to Sunday November 12 is the ninth annual Word of Truth Conference at Bethel Baptist Church of El Sobrante, CA, where I have pastored for thirty years. The first three years covered the theme of A Pure Church, and a book was published shortly thereafter. Our next three years […]
Books on Christian Sanctification for Baptist Separatists: My Recommendations
At different points, I have been asked what are some works that I would recommend on the Christian doctrine of sanctification. I believe that the books below are useful, even if I cannot recommend them without qualifications.

What Is the Guidance of the Holy Spirit in John 16:13?
Today among church leaders, you will hear a message of Holy Spirit guidance. For the most part, the concept is ambiguous. Specifically John 16:13 says, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall […]
Steven Anderson Is a False Teacher Who Believes and Preaches a False Gospel
For various reasons, Steven Anderson has risen to national prominence over the last five or ten years from his home in Tempe, Arizona. I understand his popularity. He is very good at self-promotion and in these postmodern times, Anderson speaks with absolute certainty. I am certain too, that Anderson is a false teacher who believes […]
Abiding in Christ: What Does it Mean? part 2 of 9, Word Study Continued
Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Lord willing, this series of blog posts will examine John 15 after looking at each instance of the word meno in the New Testament. Expect detailed comments on John 15 later. 15:5 I […]
Correcting False Doctrine Outside of Your Church: Permissible or Encouraged in Scripture?
The major criticism of this blog from what I’ll call, ‘my own,’ is what it might do to ‘our churches.’ Pastors might have to deal with the can of worms I open, not when they want to deal with it. For the record, I don’t care what biblical issue someone brings up, that our church […]
Smiracles
This post ties into three recent ones on continuationism and making normative the Macedonian call (parts one and two). I’ve written on this in the past too (here). I’ve also written on the leading of the Spirit [here] (and that might not be all; it was a quick look). Here are six parts on a […]
