Point of 2 John: Truth the Boundary of Acceptance
The Lord Jesus Christ came in due time, the Pax Romana, koine Greek, and Roman roads. Christianity grew, spread by evangelists, who were welcomed into homes of fellowshiping churches. Following upon true preachers came false ones, posing as true to take advantage of the generosity of church families, including ladies like the one addressed in […]
Help the Homeless: Buy Them Drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco?
Especially in large cities, substantial numbers of homeless people are found. The Bible makes statements such as: “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10). We are, therefore, to do good to the homeless. We also have texts such […]
Cultic KJVO?
Tomorrow Thomas Ross’s post will replace this one, but I wanted to still have it here on top for a few hours. Cultic loses its meaning when it is used as an invective and pejorative. Cultic should be reserved for the cultic. Cultic shouldn’t be weaponized as a word for staining people, even if they’ve […]
Placing Myself in Tyler’s Report Card On Baptist Fundamentalism
I have three blog posts I’ve really wanted to write, but they are difficult to write without spending a lot of time. I’m a percentage done on all three and can’t finish any of them. I’ve been in this condition for three weeks. I’m still writing posts though. Today, I make it easy on myself […]
John 12:24-25: The Corn / Grain of Wheat Dying in the Ground: A Second Blessing?
Various Keswick and Higher Life authors employ John 12:24-25 as a text about how to obtain a second blessing or the Higher Life. Supposedly when a believer becomes like the grain or corn of wheat that does not just exist, but goes all the way in full surrender to “die” to self, then the Higher […]
What I’ve Preached on Deuteronomy 24
Years ago I preached through the entire book of Deuteronomy, which included Deuteronomy 24 in its context. I’ve come back in a few sermons on divorce and remarriage through the years to deal with it in depth. I went back and looked at some notes of one sermon. I noticed that I had used some […]
Two Big Observations on America’s News: First, Trump’s Lies
Basketball is just a game and it too has changed over time, like everything else. When I was in college, a new philosophy arose in NCAA basketball through teams like Georgetown and then UNLV. The game became more physical, and these two teams I remember in particular started reaching and fouling, it seemed, on every […]
For the Rest of This Season, I’m Giving Up NBA Basketball
We don’t have cable television and haven’t had it. However, I can watch the NBA online some at TNT and ESPN. I can keep up with the NBA by checking on the scores and watching highlights. That means I’m seeing advertisements that support the NBA. I’m very unhappy with the NBA right now in light […]
The Sinful Snooze Button Mortified: The Sheet on Sleep
The Bible says: “As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed” (Proverbs 26:14). The large majority of the time, hitting the snooze button is a lack of temperance rather than something Biblically justifiable that can be done for the glory of God. Furthermore, just as hitting the snooze button […]
Personal Motivation to Evangelize
Among all the days of the week, I’m most regular on Wednesday for door-to-door evangelism. I go every week on Wednesday. I should go more, but I make sure I go every week by scheduling it for our church every Wednesday and leading it myself. Even though I schedule it and I do go, I […]
