Some Ecclesiological Issues Exposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic
The word “church” in the New Testament translates the Greek word ekklesia, which means “assembly” or “congregation,” how Tyndale translated it in his New Testament, which predates the King James Version. He was right. It means “congregation” or “assembly.” “Congregate” and “assemble” are the same thing. It might be a little hard to read the […]
Unsheathed: Muhammad’s Biography–An Accurate Presentation
Have you wanted to read an accurate biography of Muhammad, based on the original sources, and free from bias in favor of Islam? I commend to you Unsheathed: The Story of Muhammad, by Tara MacArthur (penname to avoid getting killed; click on the book name to download it). The book is a valuable work that accurate portrays the […]
Sin and Spirituality Do Not Coexist
True spirituality relates to the Holy Spirit. Someone is spiritual when the Holy Spirit indwells him. The Holy Spirit indwells believers, truly converted or saved people only. He doesn’t indwell unbelievers, so unbelievers are not spiritual. The Holy Spirit in His holy nature does not indwell the unrighteous. Every believer is spiritual because every believer […]
Saul/Paul’s Conversion: A Contradiction in Acts 9, 22, 26?
During my debate with Shabir Ally on the topic: “The New Testament Picture of Jesus: Is it Accurate?” Dr. Ally claimed that the accounts of the Apostle Paul’s conversion in Acts 9, 22, and 26 were contradictory. He argued that the following passages were necessarily contradictory: “And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing […]
How Far Does Someone Need to Be “Off” About Jesus for Him Not to Be Jesus Anymore? It Is Not Good or Helpful to Accept or Approve a False Jesus
Is the Mormon Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible? The Moslem Jesus? The Roman Catholic Jesus? The Jewish Jesus? The Charismatic Jesus? Is the evangelical Jesus the biblical one? There is only one Jesus, the One in scripture. However, the Apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 11:4, For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, […]
Self-Love Is the Most Potent Stupid Pill: The Recent Ascent of Self-Love
Scripture does not teach self love. It teaches against self love. If one trait characterizes apostasy (2 Tim 3:1-3), it is self love. When Jesus came to earth, He emptied His self (Philippians 2). At the root of the gospel is self-denial and yet self-love grows today rampant among even professing Christians. I thought perhaps […]
Baptist Churches and the Spanish Flu, 1918-1920
The government is not the friend of churches. A conspiracy of Satan exists against the church as part of his war against God. I see religious liberty in America disappearing. Is this Covid-19 shelter-in-place, no gatherings above five or ten, a part of the overall plan to stop churches? Or is it spiritually a means […]
Pray for Power! (Or pray for grace?)
“If you do not pray for God’s power, you do not understand even the most fundamental aspects of the Christian life. You think that you need to live for Christ by your own strength, in a self-dependent way. Since, for example, Bro. Brandenburg does not pray for power, he must be totally ignorant of how […]
The Pharisaism and Sedation of Woke “Christianity”: A Coronavirus to the Church
Former Treatment A Second Former Treatment The Great Awakening in mid-18th century colonial America, influenced by the biblical preaching of George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards, led to the American Revolution. Some say we’re now in the Great Awokening with aspirations for a different kind of revolution, perhaps something closer to that of the early […]
You Might Be Settled on God’s Love For You, But What About Your Love for God?
God doesn’t love us by sending on to us His sentimental feelings. That’s not love. He actually loves us, and so does Jesus. Jesus laid down His life. God does things. He provides. He gives. I can keep going, but it’s the length of the whole Bible. If God loved certain professing evangelicals, like they […]
