Bondage and Fear: Not the Result of a Higher or “Stricter” Standard
In Romans 8 the Apostle Paul explains his victory over the body of death about which he had described his exasperation in chapter 7. The righteousness of the law was fulfilled in Paul and every other believer through the indwelling Holy Spirit. This brought life, peace, and freedom that is the reality for a son […]
The Sword of the Lord, Really The Scoop Shovel of Revivalism
John R. Rice started The Sword of the Lord (TSTL) on September 28, 1934. At present it is a bi-week twenty-four page tabloid. I first became aware of TSTL sometime around my jr. high years, when John R. Rice was still alive. I didn’t know what it was, just that it was somewhat promoted in those […]
Weekend Observations: What I Think Is the True Narrative on the 2016 Presidential Election and the Russia Connection
The media lies more than ever. Trump is the first Republican president to fight against its lies like the media itself fights, and the lies are at a greater magnitude, so his fight also looks like something we’ve never seen. For myself and maybe another 20% (could be more) of all Americans, we know the […]
Applications from Keswick Theology–an Analysis and Critique of So Great Salvation by Stephen Barabas, part 2 of 2
The content of this post is now available at the link viewable by clicking here. It combines all the parts of this series of blog posts in one file. Please view the material at that link. This part covers from the words: “The believer who trembles at the Word of the Lord can learn much […]
Everybody Separates: It’s Just Why and How
A major feature of the 2016 campaign was separation. The wall separates the United States from Mexico. The red states divide from the blue states. Nationalists separate from globalists. Brexit is an exit from the EU. The Supreme Court represents a split vote. Not everyone will be happy. Noah got onto the ark and separated […]
Muslim Covering of Women Isn’t a Good Argument against Islam
The United States has become a cesspool as it relates to the covering of women. However, the nakedness of women seems also to be a symbol of Americanism today as much as apple pie, kind of like the following, “Our women take their clothes off, and we’re proud of it.” As this relates to Islam, […]
Use Tax, Sales Tax, the Bible, and Other Financial Matters
As tax day–April 15–is quickly coming upon us, I thought it was appropriate to remind readers of their specific Biblical obligation to pay all the tax (although not a penny more) that the government legally requires, even if, as in the Roman Empire, many of the things the government does with the money are wicked […]
Church Membership and the Marriage Covenant
Marriage is a covenant that cannot be dissolved by any human authority. Jesus said in Matthew 19:6, “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” The condition of a marriage might not be good. He or she or both might neglect, disobey, or […]
En Protois and 1 Corinthians 15:3: First of All, First In Order
Having received John MacArthur’s new book on the Gospel, The Gospel According to Paul, I opened and leafed through to see what he would cover in his 217 pages. One could write 1000 pages on that subject, so he had to make choices. His first chapter after his introduction he titled, “Things of First Importance.” […]
Weekend Observations: Musical Meaning and Geert Wilders and Racism
Thomas Ross posts on Fridays here, as another reminder to you. I appreciate what he does. You would be hard pressed to name another independent Baptist or unaffiliated that has done the work and the kind of work that he has done. I’m happy if you commend him for it. If you want to know […]
