When I Left Fundamentalism part nine
The Lord Jesus Christ will not come and remove His candlestick from fundamentalism. Fundamentalism holds no candlestick. And fundamentalism carries no guarantee that the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. God designed the church to operate without help from outside and inferior movements or institutions. However, churches have become addicted to or dependent […]
John MacArthur on Deuteronomy 22:5
John MacArthur, the Southern California, evangelical pastor, popular radio teacher, and favorite of many fundamentalists, on sheer interpretation of Deuteronomy 22:5 says that it means the same thing that I say it does. I include this here for those who treat what I have written like it is some kind of weird, corn-pone, back-of-the-turnip-truck, type […]
When I Left Fundamentalism part eight
Fundamentalism either suffers from or is blessed by many definitions, depending upon how you view that scenario. I took a class in graduate school, called “The History of Fundamentalism,” taught by a fundamentalist icon, B. Myron Cedarholm. Our textbook, to which Dr. Cedarholm did not refer at all, was A History of Fundamentalism by George […]
When I Left Fundamentalism part seven
God is light without any darkness (1 John 1:5). Darkness is doctrinal and moral. God created us to please Him. We can’t please God with doctrinal or moral darkness, both of which contrast with or contradict the message and application of God’s Word. God Himself does not fellowship with darkness. If we wish to please […]

Abusive Parenting
The mainstream media cranks out another expose of a particular parental perversion of Christianity. Is what the Bible says now wrong, because somebody in a church abused what Scripture said? Some brakes failed so now we shuck the automobile? We feel turbulence, so we start strapping on the parachute? Living by faith requires not bailing […]
The Birth Certificate: Why It Remains an Issue
The United States has been a country of conspiracy theories. I’ve taught United States History and Government for over 20 years and the conspiracy theories can spice up a history or government class—they get people’s attention. If you are a conspiracy theorist, you are also considered to be a bit of a nut, and conspiracy […]
God’s Evaluation of the Judgment of an Individual Church
The world places a low value on the judgment of a church. Even churches today, or professing Christians, do not consider the decisions of a church to be worthwhile. But what does God think? Can we know what He thinks? We have a passage of scripture in which we receive the Divine point of view: […]
Somebody Did Something Bad So I’ll Do Something Just as Bad or Worse
Years ago a Jewish rabbi wrote a bestselling book entitled “Why Bad Things Happen to Good People.” Maybe someone has already written it, but a better and more scriptural title would be, “Why Good Things Happen to Bad People.” Much more realistic. People do bad things. They have done and they will do too. And […]
Day 31 of P90x
I take a break from the regularly scheduled programming for a mid-term evaluation of P90x. I’ve been working out since I was a boy in various ways, starting to lift in a consistent way at about 22 and continuing that up until now (49 today). Weights, like me, have gotten old. I kept hearing P90x […]
