There’s Woke and There’s “Woke”: The Pharisee “Woke” Evangelicals
When I talk to other people here in the San Francisco Bay Area, I sometimes ask if they will explain what they believe. For instance, if Buddhism is true and helpful, perhaps a Buddhist could explain it for my benefit. I’d like to know why I should become one. Along the same line, if being […]
The OT books in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English
In conjunction with my Greek class, I put together the list below. May it be a convenient place to get this information. The Books of the Old and New Testament in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, in the Hebrew Bible’s book order[1] Hebrew Greek Latin English בְּרֵאשִׁית Γένεσις Genesis Genesis וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת Ἔξοδος Exodus Exodus וַיִּקְרָא […]
Value Expressed By Means of Trade: Explored through a Paradigm of Adult Children and Their Parents
Lady Justice stands blindfolded with scales in her outstretched right hand and a sword in her left. She was introduced by the Roman emperor Augustus, but the concepts communicated in allegory through her imagery reflect teachings of scripture. The blindfold portrays impartiality (Leviticus 19:15), the sword the judgment of evil doing (Romans 13:4), and the […]
The Confusion of Love With Empathy: The Rampant Use of Emotional Blackmail
What is empathy? For awhile I’ve understood empathy only in contrast with sympathy. I’ve just assumed that empathy is an attempt to identify with or feel someone else’s experience or feelings that I haven’t had or don’t have. With sympathy, I’ve had the same experience or feeling. I could say, I know what you feel. […]

How Do the Church and the State Fit into an Authority Flow Chart Related to the Pandemic?
Part One Flow charts can be helpful for the proper comprehension of authority and responsibility. They cannot replace what scripture says nor even completely picture what the Bible says about authority and responsibility. There is always overlap that can’t be represented by a flow chart without contradiction. This relates to the separation of church and […]
Are Church Members the Church Only When They Are Assembled?
An assembly is visible only. You walk into a room and no one is in there, and you would be right to conclude there is no assembly. An assembly is people and people are visible. Let’s say that you had a group that met in the hotel banquet hall. You saw someone at the park […]

The Vitality of Obedience to Authority: The Lord Jesus Christ Sets the Example of Obedience to Authority
Every facet of God’s Word relates to authority and with God at the Top. Even in the model prayer, the Lord Jesus Christ references the height of God the Father, “which art in heaven.” The Lord Jesus sets Himself under the Father, which also doesn’t in any way diminish Him. Just the opposite, He is […]
I’m Sinning, Actively Disobedient to God’s Word, Disobedient to the Scriptural Counsel of Parents, and I’ve Never Had More Peace
You know this verse? But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right. It’s not the Bible […]
