The Myth and the Hammer of a Second Kind of Legalism
Some might say we’re just talking tomAto or tomAHto (who cares!), but if we were, I don’t think an evangelical like Andy Naselli would have written this. In the aforementioned linked article, Naselli refers a second time within a short period to a second kind of legalism, as defined by another continuationist, Sam Storm. […]
Why Doesn’t Tim Keller Include the Younger Son?
[For info, watch this conversation starting at 8 minutes, and then this.] Jesus tells three parables in Luke 15, all about losing — losing a coin, a sheep, and then a son.

It’s not Christian to cheat. But Christians do. Pandering is a type of cheating. Jesus has His will. He has a way church is to be accomplished, how people […]

A Catholicization of Evangelical Christianity

Most would probably resent being associated or labeled with Roman Catholicism. I’m not trying to poke at the bee hive here. It’s not my point. I want readers to think about this. As most of you know. RC dominated much […]
Hard to Be Understood
Why essentials and non-essentials? Why uncertainty on belief and practice? Why doubt in interpretation and application? Why an excuse for disobedience? Why a reason for unity with those with a radically different position on numerous subjects? Why? There’s a go-to verse. Let’s call it a proof-text for postmodernism. What is it? 2 Peter 3:16, “As […]
