John MacArthur: “Men Dressed Like Women”

Not many days ago, well-known evangelical pastor, John MacArthur, went public, perhaps worldwide, by calling on pastors today to stand with Canadian evangelical pastors by preaching for biblical sexual morality.  I noticed that he himself preached “Such Were Some of You but You Have Been Washed” from 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 on January 16, 2022, Sunday morning.  […]

Living In Utah: My Observations

My wife, parents, and I moved into Utah mid-August 2021.  Ten years ago, it never occurred that I would live in Utah and if someone asked, I would have said, zero chance.  As Charles Dickins wrote first in The Pickwick Papers, his 1837 novel, “Never say never.” Someone recently asked where I was now, and when […]

Why Do Jews Get Special Favor from True Christians?

Based on what’s committed against the United States and people’s talk about Islamophobia, one might think Moslems would receive more crimes against them for their religion.  They don’t.  The FBI reports 227 Moslem victims in its last report in 2019 and 1,032 Jewish victims.  Jews themselves also know that antisemitism grows rapidly. For most of my […]

Means to Personal Growth: How I Grow as a Person

We’re all going to die and personal growth will then end.  At what point does personal growth stop?  The older you get, the less years you have left, and maybe it doesn’t matter any more.  I don’t know how much time I have left.  It could be twenty years.  It could be twenty seconds. If […]

My Vaccine, Etc. Take

This is my take on the Covid-19 vaccine, etc. In 2020-21 Brother Ross has written everything on vaccines and conspiracies on his day on Fridays.  I wish they weren’t controversial, but I knew they would be and I know they are. I allowed all of them.  I’m fine with the position he takes.  He’s never […]

Ranking the Worst Things Happening In a Given Year

Someone said that they don’t like 2022 because it’s 2020 two times.  Get it.  Twenty-twenty two.  Twenty-twenty two-times.  They were being funny. I remember when we got the call that said we had to cancel school and in a real hurry in March 2020.  We went to zoom classes.  Putting an entire school on zoom […]

What Does God Say Is Cured By the New Covenant? The Blame Game

People have their favorite verses in the Bible, beloved ones they commit to memory.  They know them well.  Every verse, every word of the Bible is important, but there are key passages in it.  If you think of Jeremiah, certain texts stand out.  One of those is Jeremiah 31:31-34, the classic location for the new […]

Can Anyone Be Effeminate? Consider the Chinese

As I begin to write this post, it feels like something canceled on twitter, youtube, and facebook.  No one must think this or this way.  It must not be said or written.  Perhaps a future reeducation camp in store for someone who crosses this boundary. I was speaking this week to someone from China and […]

The Conflicting, Perplexing Calvinistic Doctrine of Free Will (Part Four)

Part One   Part Two   Part Three A Hebrew word for “repent” in the Old Testament is nocham and it’s mainly used of God.  It first appears in Genesis 6:6:  “And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”  The Old Testament makes those kinds of […]

Pragmatism, Playing Games, and “Recovering from Fundamentalism”

If you look at a picture of the attendees of a professional baseball game during the 1940s, you see the crowd filled with men in suits and ties.  I don’t know if they called them fans then, but were they legalists?  Anyone who would wear a suit and tie to a baseball game must be […]
