What Many Professional Athletes Really Think and Other Observations
I’m going to come with something else tomorrow, but now that I’ve gone down this path, I’m going to stay there until at least tomorrow morning. I’ve got several jointed disjointed observations. They are jointed, because they are all connected, but not in any kind of syllogistic way. If I want to see that connection, […]
What’s the Protest: NFL and NBA Athletes
When Martin Luther protested, he nailed 95 theses to the door of a Wittenberg church building. He was very specific about his problems with Roman Catholicism. The Protestant Reformation came out of that protest. Many people know the very beginning of the Declaration of Independence, a very small portion of the declaration, but very few, […]

Is the Macedonian Call Normative for Missions Today?
During the first missionary journey of Paul, he traveled to Asia Minor, which moved him into territory he could reach on foot. You could call that an obvious endeavor. You don’t get into a boat until you have first tried the folks in walking distance. This relates to the concentric paradigm laid out in Acts […]
Dumbing Unity Down and Excluding God
A couple of happenings prevailed for me to write something on the dumbing down of unity, biblical unity or actual unity. One, I’m preaching through John for the second time, and I’m in John 17. Two, I somehow was directed to Todd Friel on his Wretched radio program, where he said (between 1 and 2 […]
Learn Greek, Archaeology, and Evangelism
Lord willing, we will be starting a new round of courses at our Bible Institute at Mukwonago Baptist Church in the (very) near future. Some brethren at a distance that offer both local and distance classes of their own have asked me to teach for them, and, of course, there are the local saints in […]
How Biblical Change Looks When It Happens — And the Opposite
Biblical change starts with conviction. The Holy Spirit reproves the world of sin (Jn 16:8). The Greek word is not about a feeling someone has, but someone convinced, as in being proven guilty. Romans 12:1 says true, perpetual worship of God is reasonable. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Every major change in […]
Should Christians Change?
Have you changed as a Christian since you became a Christian? Should Christians change? Change is characteristic of a Christian after he becomes a Christian at his justification by faith, the moment of His conversion. God changes him. He changes. This is sanctification. This is Christian growth. Scripture predicts the change of a Christian after […]
The What is Truth? blog: How Has It Blessed You?
The What is Truth? blog is approaching 1,500,000 hits as I write this post (and possibly will be over that number when you are reading it.) Praise the Lord for this impact for the glory of the Triune Jehovah and the spread of the truth of His Word! Of course, What is Truth? is run […]
Six Positions on Church Music, pt. 2
In part one, I list the six positions with one corollary to the sixth position added. Can or does any objective standard exist for judging church music? Is the choice of musical style completely arbitrary? To what degree can someone judge musical style based upon scripture? The answer to these questions factor the most to […]
