Choosing Faith or Religion Like Choosing A Wallpaper Pattern

During graduate school, for a short while I worked at a paint and wall covering store.  Of varied responsibilities, I performed the job of organizing the wallpaper books.  They filled the tops of two large tables and I kept them in some kind of order based on style.  I could at least direct someone according […]

WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE 2021

In 1987 my wife and I, having been married for two weeks, took a U-Haul truck to the San Francisco Bay Area, and we started a church in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I pastored it thirty-three plus years.   In 2009, I started the Word of Truth (WOT) Conference. Besides helpful edification of our church, […]

Postmodern “Grace”

The author of Hebrews in 12:15-17 warns: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how […]

Is God Not Being Obvious Enough, Proof That There Is No God?

I’m not saying that God isn’t obvious, but that is a major reason in what I’ve read and heard of and for professing atheism and agnosticism.  It’s also something I’ve thought about myself.  God doesn’t go around announcing Himself in the ways people think He would if He existed.  God doesn’t show Himself in a […]

Does Lordship Salvation Proceed from Calvinism Like Many Say?

I believe what is termed, “Lordship salvation,” and don’t believe there is any other kind.  I’ve read articles meant to expose Lordship salvation as false, that say it proceeded from the Calvinism of 17th century Post-Reformation Puritanism.  Puritanism also brought the Westminster Confession of Faith.  When I think of the five points of TULIP, I […]

Which Is True? Restoration, Reformation, or Perpetuity?

Two experiences dovetailed for me to write this post.  As to the first, while working out I watched a documentary on Martin Luther.  Does Luther’s Reformation represent the truth?  Is the true church a reformed one? The second, I took my dad to a podiatrist in Layton, Utah.  As a diabetic, he goes in for […]

The Meaning of “Done” and the Work of Christ

I didn’t hear language until recently both in preaching and in reading of the existence of only two religions, one “do” and the other “done.”  This nice turn of phrase might help someone who thinks salvation is by works.  A popular leader in “new revivalism,” comparable to the label “new Calvinism,” wrote a book titled, […]

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Postmodernism, and Critical Theory

People in general don’t want to be told what to do.  This arises from the sin nature of mankind, a cursed rebellion passed down from Adam.  So people won’t have to do what an authority tells them, they disparage the credibility of it.  They especially attack God in diverse manners so He won’t hinder or […]

The Chiastic Structure of the Bible and History and an Immediately Appearing Earth (Young Earth)

How did the physical universe get here?  When you read Genesis 1, it reads like what I am titling, an “Immediately Appearing Earth” (IAE).  In other words, the creation of or origin of the earth wasn’t a process.  You will find many arguments for the young earth or immediately appearing earth.  What does the Bible […]

John 3:36, the Second “Believeth” (Apeitheo), and English Translation of the Bible

The King James Version (KJV) of John 3:36 reads: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. The English Standard Version (ESV) reads: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey […]
