I Don’t Like Door-to-Door But I Do Love It
We’ve discussed whether door-to-door is scriptural. But I need to tell you that I don’t like it. I dread it at least a little every time I go. The dislike and the dread don’t last long. How it works fits with what Jesus said in John 13:17, “If ye know these things, happy are ye […]

Local Only Ecclesiology, Baptist History, and Landmarkism
Sometimes I get spam email from a character in an African country, who wants to help me out financially. Maybe you’ve deleted some of these letters too, knowing they’re a fraud. And then I get these letters from parachurch organizations or representatives who want to help me and my church. I like the scriptural analogy […]
The Embarrassing History of the Doctrine of Preservation for the Multiple Versionists
Is the historical doctrine of preservation an embarrassment to multiple versionists (MV)? I do ask this question in part because one MV recently asked if the preface of the King James Version (KJV) was an embarrassment to King James Onlyists (KJO). The preface is supposed to be embarrassing to someone like myself because the translators […]
Thoughts on “‘Keswick’ and the Reformed Doctrine of Sanctification” by J. I. Packer
I read, not too long ago, the article mentioned in the title of this post, by J. I. Packer, from The Evangelical Quarterly, vol. 27 (1955) 153-167. Packer is reviewing the book So Great Salvation: The History and Message of the Keswick Convention by Steven Barabas. Both Packer and Barabas are neo-evangelicals. Packer’s article was […]
How Door-to-Door Evangelism Works
Do the attitudes of people in general prevent someone from preaching the gospel door-to-door? No. Is the major problem with door-to-door preaching that people do not want strangers there uninvited? Is it “the secluded disposition so prevalent among much of suburbia”? Is it “the unsolicited presence is so intrusive and overbearing as to prevent the […]
Do You Have to Do Door-to-Door Evangelism?
Ignore your teeth, they’ll go away. Ignore door-to-door evangelism and you won’t preach the gospel to everyone. Does it matter if you don’t preach to everyone? If it doesn’t, then go ahead and ignore door-to-door. Churches ignore door-to-door. They are either defying what God said or they don’t believe it matters if you preach […]
A Paradigmatic Example of New Age Medicine and How to Expose and Analyze it, part 5
The following is a continuation of part 4. All methods of testing demonstrate that Chiropractor Jay Fox’s methods are harmful and should be avoided. 1.) His practice fails the Biblical test, for the Word of God commands that occultism should be avoided, and his muscle testing, homeopathy, and chiropractic practice are rooted in the occult and […]
Trouble with Pearls
Barbara Bush is in trouble. We read this in 1 Timothy 2:9: In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array. No. no. no. No pearls. No stringed. No cultured. No fresh water. Of course, the problem is […]
