Democrats Most Astonishing Hate of Democracy
The Symbol of the Reichstag in Germany A pivotal moment in Hitler’s rise in Germany came from the Nazi burning of the Reichstag. They started the fire, put it out, and then blamed it on the Communists. Democrats in the United States steal this act in a campaign to destroy democracy. The Nazis convinced a […]
Wallace’s Remarkable Erroneous Paper On The Doctrine Of Preservation
Daniel Wallace Certain names represent the biggest evangelical challengers to the biblical and historical doctrine of the preservation of scripture. They have written journal articles or books against preservation of scripture. The Bible version issue starts with scriptural teaching on preservation. When you believe what God said, you come to perfect preservation. Then you have […]
The Most Indispensable Quality for Manhood
Designed Manhood and Manhood Under Attack A strange incongruity exists. On the one hand, the world blurs the distinctions between men and women. On the other, women want to be men and men want to be women and do so by embracing the natural distinctions between men and women. The world in which we live […]
The Validity and Potential Value of a Liturgical Calendar (Part Four)
Part One Part Two Part Three Being Intentional When you intend to do something — some people today call that “being intentional” — you might plan it or schedule it. Does scripture regulate or legislate intentionality? This thing of being intentional even has a definition: “making deliberate choices to reflect what is most […]
The Validity and Potential Value of a Liturgical Calendar (Part Three)
Part One Part Two Regulative Principle of Worship Over a period of time, professing Christians formulated from scripture what was termed, “the regulative principle of worship.” I believe in that. This took awhile in the history of Christianity to develop. I believe it because it is scriptural and, therefore, I want to follow it. […]
The Validity and Potential Value of a Liturgical Calendar (Part Two)
Part One The Suggestion of a Church Calendar Perhaps as you read, I don’t have to argue for Christmas and Easter. You accept that already for your church calendar. Churches should acknowledge and honor the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They include the birth and resurrection in the prayers, singing, and preaching of their […]
The Validity and Potential Value of a Liturgical Calendar
You Might Have a Liturgical Calendar If you have Easter and Christmas on your calendar, you have a liturgical calendar. You might not call it one, but it still is. Should you though? Is it permissible or maybe even of value for a church to keep a liturgical calendar every year? Let’s say that you […]
Right Applications of Matthew 5:17-20 and Wrong Ones (Part Three)
Part One Part Two Jesus Is Scriptural Everything that Jesus said in His sermon from Matthew 5:1 to 5:16 was a scriptural concept. Nothing Jesus taught contradicted God’s Word. Jesus is God. On the other hand, the religious leaders in Israel were “making the word of God of none effect through [their] tradition” (Mark […]
Right Applications of Matthew 5:17-20 and Wrong Ones (Part Two)
Part One Jesus came to elevate scripture, not overthrow it. The scribes and Pharisees had devalued actual scripture for their own traditions. The religious leaders thereby made themselves the standard of righteousness. They were not God’s light, glorifying Him by shining in a dark world. Heaven and Earth Passing Away and Not His Words Not […]
Right Applications of Matthew 5:17-20 and Wrong Ones
Defend or Support the Textus Receptus? Recently I read someone who started his essay on Matthew 5:17-20, and he called it ‘quoted to defend an understanding of preservation that supports the Textus Receptus and the Hebrew Masoretic.’ Nope, that’s not how it works with passages. I’ve preached through the whole book of Matthew. I’ve begun […]
