Scripture Repudiates Innovation in and by the Church
Before I get to the point of this post, I need to say what it isn’t about. It isn’t about the fulfillment of the cultural mandate, to subdue and have dominion. God created. Made in God’s image, man is creative in a way designed by God, albeit different than Him. Man does innovate. […]

The Capitulation of the Church Hastened Transgenderism
I still want you to read Monday’s post. Right now, a fashionable position for evangelicals and fundamentalists is to resist, albeit in a benign way, transgenderism. In the so-called culture war, conservatives have chosen a strategic campaign of kooky bathroom laws. They tried to take it into the election, and we heard the representation as […]
What Continues Today from Eras of Miracles? Thoughts on the Non-Charismatic Continuationism
When someone uses the word “continues” like I have in the title of today’s post, he does refer to a theological ideology called “continuationism.” It brings the question, should we expect the same occurrences today that we read during eras of miracles? When I say “eras of miracles,” I’m saying the times when God intervened […]
Miracles Today: Yes or No? The Bible on Continuing Miracles
Do miracles take place today—yes or no? This blog post will not deal with the Biblical evidence for the cessation of the sign gifts (click here for more on that topic). Rather, it will examine the question: “Does Scriptural cessationism require the cessation of miracles today?” What is the answer to that question? Is the […]
Clarity As to What This Election Is About
Sometime after the two party conventions later this year, I’ll write a post to give a full analysis of this year’s presidential election, the strangest one in my lifetime. The 92 Clinton-Bush-Perot was an odd one, as was Bush-Gore 2000 by the time it was settled by the Supreme Court. This election is already […]
The Malleability of Old Testament Narratives
Last week I wrote about a sermon I heard on audio from the Old Testament, one influenced by Keswick theology. That message also reminded me of many I have heard from the Old Testament through the years that left me scratching my head. “Where did he get that?” I ask. “I don’t see that in […]

Keswick Preaching and then Practical Perversion: the Unaffiliated
Because I’m leaving town here Wednesday until next Monday, while getting my classes and other responsibilities ready for when I’m gone, I listened to the audio from a recent unaffiliated Baptist conference. At this juncture, I don’t want to go into what or where the conference was or its characters. This is not supposed to […]
John 10:35, the Scripture Cannot Be Broken, and Perfect Preservation of Scripture
The Lord Jesus Christ makes one last visit to Jerusalem before His final trip back for His crucifixion beginning in John 10:22 in the winter at the Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah. He immediately picks up on the conversation he had two months earlier at the Feast of Tabernacles, declaring Himself the True Shepherd of […]
