“I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” Examined: part 3 of 4 in Does Christ live the Christian Life for the Christian? The Keswick View of Galatians 2:20 Examined
The “I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” in Galatians 2:20 does not mean that Paul actually did not live the Christian life and the Lord Jesus lived it instead of him. Such a conclusion would neglect the fact that Paul specifically says “I live.” Furthermore, Paul does not say, “Christ […]
Rampant Ideological Hylesism, pt. 2
Part One As God looks at what churches and their leaders are doing on earth, He doesn’t have some special antagonism against the name Hyles, because the name Hyles somehow means something nasty. No. It is Hylesism, and unbiblical philosophy and practice and methods that also must proceed from a bad theology. All the former […]
Rampant Ideological Hylesism
People who rejected and still repudiate Jack Hyles at the same time welcome his ideology. They aren’t opposed to Hylesism. If you asked them if they supported Hyles, they would scoff at you and deny with vehemence. Yes, they support the ideology if you remove the Hyles label. It’s still his ideology, but doesn’t have […]
Kenya Trip, Drama, Literature; Chess: Odds and Ends
#1: Kenya Trip As some of you may (or may not) know, I had the privilege of teaching a seminary level class in Trinitarianism in Kenya not that long ago to Kenyan pastors and teachers, including teachers who teach undergraduate courses at the institution where the class was offered. (The class was based upon my […]
The Wednesday Post
I decided to delete my Wednesday post. One, I don’t want to argue with Thomas Ross about this. Two, I don’t think the person is worth defending. My opinion still stands for those who read it, but I’d rather not have my defense be mistaken for something it isn’t. Maybe I’ll come back to a […]
You Know You’re Too Intelligent to Entertain Christianity If….
A brief scan online early on a Sunday morning alerted me to a contemptible smear of the Bible by internet magazine Salon, entitled, “The right hides behind a fictional Bible: Memo to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump — your favorite book is made up.” Breathe easy. I looked and few out of the tiny orbit of […]
Galatians 2:20–the Keswick “Christ-life”? part 2 of 4 in Does Christ live the Christian Life for the Christian? The Keswick View of Galatians 2:20 Examined
As noted in part 1 of this series, in the Higher Life movement, the doctrine that Christ lives the Christian life, while the believer simply passively trusts or abides, is the “Christ-life”; “The Christian life is a large, generous Christ-life that lives itself” (pg. 181, Account of the Union Meeting for the Promotion of Scriptural […]
What Is Worship?
We train future pastors in our church. My philosophy or belief about training a pastor, which I believe I should be doing, is that I should be giving him what he needs to reproduce what I do. I don’t want to give him less than what it is I am and do. We offer the […]
Producing Experiences with the Flesh and Calling It the Spirit
As I see it, Charismatics are as crazy as ever, but revivalists are also the worst they’ve ever been. You can add to that the influence on evangelicals, including conservative evangelicals. I’m talking about another type of bait and switch. Church growth movement baits with fleshly lures switched in the end with some modification of […]
Upcoming Courses for Men Training for the Ministry and Others in Your Church
At Mukwonago Baptist Church we are going to be offering two new courses in the relatively near future, Lord willing. 1.) The second semester of 1st year Hebrew will be offered. You can watch the first semester videos or enroll here. We are going to be going at a relatively leisurely pace, so that while […]
