Could There Be Practical Reasons Why Some Evangelists See More or Better Results than Others? Pt. 3
Part One Part Two Every time I begin to consider the problems in this country and then the world, I go back to the gospel. Whatever path you ponder, it comes back to necessary conversion. Someone can make moves that might postpone the inevitable, but the actual solution is the gospel. Everything else is […]
Could There Be Practical Reasons Why Some Evangelists See More or Better Results than Others? Pt. 2
Part One In the parables of the lost coin, lost sheep, and lost son in Luke 15, we see that God seeks for the lost and heaven rejoices even when one soul repents unto salvation. It says heaven rejoices at the repentance of the lost soul, not when a believer evangelizes the lost soul. Does […]
Could There Be Practical Reasons Why Some Evangelists See More or Better Results than Others?
When I say, “evangelist,” for purposes of this discussion, I mean men preaching the gospel, perhaps in missionary status but also men preaching in their own churches. Over my thirty plus years in full time preaching, I have won many to Christ, saw them baptized into the church, and then discipled. I did this without […]
A Tip to Cure Insomnia, Getting Sleep on a Sleepless Night
Many people today use chemical sleep aids because they can’t sleep at night. It might be that they have a bad hip or shoulder or knee, some painful body joint, perhaps osteoarthritis pain. I feel your pain on physical pain. I have that too, not to the degree that I can’t sleep at night, but […]
Debunking of Nine Marks Dual Church View: Both Universal and Local Churches, Part Three
Part One Part Two Nowhere does scripture make a connection between an earthly church and then a final heavenly church. Neoplatonic Christianity or professing Christianity invented this idea, one borrowed by Jonathan Leeman in his article, The Church: Universal and Local, for the 9 Marks parachurch organization. A believer in a salvific way has […]
Debunking of Nine Marks Dual Church View: Both Universal and Local Churches, Part Two
Part One The word “church” in the English translation of the New Testament, like Nine Marks wrote in its online article by Jonathan Leeman, means “assembly.” “Universal assembly” is an oxymoron, yet still firmly held by Catholics, Protestants, evangelicals, and fundamentalists against its incoherence and contradiction. Why? How? Neoplatonism is a philosophical and religious system, […]
Debunking of Nine Marks Dual Church View: Both Universal and Local Churches, Part One
On 8/25/2022, the organization Nine Marks, started by Pastor Mark Dever of Capital Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC, published on its website an article written by Jonathan Leeman, the editorial director of Nine Marks, entitled, “The Church: Universal and Local” (Click on the article to compare this analysis with the post). Nine Marks, I […]
Baptists and Presbyterians, False Worship, and Separation
Some of what I write here relates to something I got on my phone from a notification. It was Derek Thomas, the Presbyterian, representing the Master’s Seminary on a podcast. He did about fifteen minutes on preaching and the problem of evil, focusing on sermons through Job. I don’t know that an evangelical Presbyterian might […]
The Biblical Presuppositions for the Critical Text that Underlie the Modern Versions, Pt. 3
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five I have never heard a critical text proponent care about the biblical and historical doctrine of preservation. Most just ignore it. It doesn’t matter to them. Others attempt to explain it away, as if guilt exists over denying the obvious. Professing […]
