The Ungovernable Will Not Be Governed
The founding fathers of the United States established a government dependent on self-government. They did not design a government that could govern the ungovernable. This is why you can’t outsource democracy, or more accurately, a republic. You can send the United States Constitution to Afghanistan, Iraq, or Russia and not get what we have in […]
The Bible Is the Red Pill
One of my regular daily stops of about six on the internet is Real Clear Politics (I am not being paid for this endorsement), and there I usually look at video clips it has posted. One this last week was an interview by Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report of a black female conservative, Candace […]
Proverbs 22:6 and Adoption, part 1 of 2
A while ago, I published at What is Truth? parts a study on Proverbs 22:6 and related texts on child-rearing, demonstrating exegetically that godly parents who train up their children in the way they should go, the way of moral righteousness, have God’s promise that their children will be converted and live for God. (See […]
Women Can’t Find Good Men
On September 23, 2017 The Globe and Mail, a Toronto newspaper, Canada’s number one, published an article by Margaret Wente, one of their columnists, entitled, Why are good men so hard to find? It seems that women do want men, do want husbands. I would have thought that, but I was surprised that a woman has admitted […]
What Many Professional Athletes Really Think and Other Observations
I’m going to come with something else tomorrow, but now that I’ve gone down this path, I’m going to stay there until at least tomorrow morning. I’ve got several jointed disjointed observations. They are jointed, because they are all connected, but not in any kind of syllogistic way. If I want to see that connection, […]
What’s the Protest: NFL and NBA Athletes
When Martin Luther protested, he nailed 95 theses to the door of a Wittenberg church building. He was very specific about his problems with Roman Catholicism. The Protestant Reformation came out of that protest. Many people know the very beginning of the Declaration of Independence, a very small portion of the declaration, but very few, […]

Is the Macedonian Call Normative for Missions Today?
During the first missionary journey of Paul, he traveled to Asia Minor, which moved him into territory he could reach on foot. You could call that an obvious endeavor. You don’t get into a boat until you have first tried the folks in walking distance. This relates to the concentric paradigm laid out in Acts […]
Dumbing Unity Down and Excluding God
A couple of happenings prevailed for me to write something on the dumbing down of unity, biblical unity or actual unity. One, I’m preaching through John for the second time, and I’m in John 17. Two, I somehow was directed to Todd Friel on his Wretched radio program, where he said (between 1 and 2 […]
Learn Greek, Archaeology, and Evangelism
Lord willing, we will be starting a new round of courses at our Bible Institute at Mukwonago Baptist Church in the (very) near future. Some brethren at a distance that offer both local and distance classes of their own have asked me to teach for them, and, of course, there are the local saints in […]
