What Is “Critical Race Theory”?
I remember visiting a particular house with a rainbow flag. There have actually been many, but this one comes to mind. I like rainbows. They are pretty. They’re meaningful in the Bible in a good way. When that flag flies on a house today, I’m critical in my mind and heart. I don’t like what […]
Greek Names of the Books of the New Testament
How would you write the names of the New Testament books in Greek–and how would you pronounce them? The names of the books of the New Testament in Greek are as follows: Μαθθαῖον Μᾶρκον Λουκᾶν Ἰωάννην Πράξεις Ἀποστόλων Ῥωμαίους Κορινθίους ά Κορινθίους β´ Γαλάτας Ἐφεσίους Φιλιππησίους Κολοσσαεῖς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ά Θεσσαλονικεῖς β´ Τιμόθεον ά Τιμόθεον β´ […]
Why Does the Church Sing When It Is Assembled? Part Two
Part One A true reason for faithfulness to gather with the congregation of the Lord is to join the congregation in singing to the Lord. Recent government actions target singing in particular, seeing it as non-essential. Some churches have argued it is essential. Why is it essential though? What would be the argument for singing […]
Why Does the Church Sing When It Is Assembled?
Congregational and church choir singing has been in the news recently with state governments regulating churches to sing both as a congregation and with choirs only with masks. That’s in the news and it gets our attention. However, I want to talk about why churches sing at all when they gather. Does it matter whether […]

My wife, Heather Ross, has availability to take some new piano students. She has taught piano for many years with many students successfully using their skills for the glory of God. When we were in Wisconsin, she was already teaching students over the Internet for students from Bethel Baptist Church in El Sobrante, CA, and Carson River […]
A Faithful Willingness to Apply the Bible to Its Own Preservation
Let’s talk about the inspiration of scripture. Consider this sentence: There is simply no statement in the Bible telling me to expect a perfect set of sixty-six books in the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. Gotcha! The Bible doesn’t have anything to say about that! Of course, it does say, “All scripture is given by […]
Even Moderate Drinking of Alcohol Causes Cognitive Decline, Higher Risk of Obesity, and More
Those who support drinking alcohol, including professing Christians, might point out apparent benefits of moderate drinking, both compared either to drunkenness or teetotaling. Recent “studies” have debunked some of those in a significant way. It should make sense to someone. The simple answer is alcohol gets into the blood stream, goes to the brain, and […]
Christians and Labor Unions: An Unequal Yoke
or ? Christians should not be part of labor unions. If they are part of a union, they should resign from membership, for reasons including the following: 1.) The Bible teaches that employees are to submit to their employers with “fear and trembling, in singleness of [their] heart, as unto Christ; not with eyeservice, as […]
Division, Chaos, and Agitation
As of about a week ago, the Democrat party started admitting riots had occurred as what seemed to be only for the purpose of deniability. Vice President Biden said a few days ago in a speech in Pittsburgh: Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of this is […]
“The Science,” “The History,” The Actual Lying
When the world talks about “the science,” they are distinguishing that from faith, and true faith doesn’t contrast with science.
