The Relationship Between Wokeism and Revivalism in Churches
Some of you may know that right now the Southern Baptists (SBC) convene in Southern California for their 2022 annual meeting. At this very time, Mark Dever and 9 Marks, a Reformed faction of the SBC, produce their journal with the emphasis on revivalism (June 2022). I wish I could be happy to join their […]
Review: Strength for the Day, Wisdom for the Way, by Robert Sorenson
Peter commanded in 1 Peter 2:2: As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. Desire the sincere milk of the word as newborn babes.

Thomas Cranmer and the Lord’s Table: How Is the Presence of Christ There?
Since Christ, an important part of the history of true Christianity proceeded from and among the English speaking people. Whatever good came from the English, which affected the whole world, related to a populist association with the Bible.

The Prime Directive Isn’t a Biblical Directive
The Star Trek series began in 1966, when I was four years old. In my home in a small town in Indiana, I grew up watching our black and white tube television set. I became a “trekkie” with Captain Kirk, Spock, Scottie, and McCoy. If someone held up his hand with only his middle fingers […]
Not Knowing What You With Certainty Can Know Is True and Knowing What You Can’t Know Is True
What you can know with certainty is anything that God says. You know the Bible is true. God said it. It’s true and you can know it with certainty. More than ever, what God says, people don’t know. They treat what God said like they can’t know it. Scripture talks about treating what you can […]
The Bible Teaches Premillennialism, But Premillennialism Also Fits What We See Happening In The World
If you read a word like premillennialism and you just stop reading, I understand. Why does anyone need to use a word like that to explain or represent the Bible?

The Gospel on Public Transportation
Today my wife and I ducked onto public transportation. The doors opened and only two seats were free. I squeezed next to an older man on the left with some luggage and my wife beside me. The man moved his big case a little, and I apologized for the inconvenience. The man next to me […]
What’s Wrong with the Russian Army?
Before the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, I heard a general assessment of the Russian army, it was dominant. Military experts feared that the Russian army could steamroll through Europe. I heard this from connected people, reporting what leaders told them. Vladimir Putin projected high confidence. He talked big. He gave a fearsome impression […]
