Final 2016 Presidential Argument — Anti-Anti Trump
Some evangelicals, fundamentalists, religious conservatives, and political conservatives either will vote or have already voted for Hillary Clinton, a third party candidate, a write-in candidate, or skipped the presidential race altogether. Trump announced on June 16, 2015. Others were already running. We’ve been at this over a year. 509 days. Some will say 509 wasted […]
I’m Going to Be Writing about the Election Once or Twice More
I’ll be writing about the election on Tuesday, Lord-willing, at least once, and probably twice. If I write two, which I hope to, the first one will be against some of the thinking out there, that I don’t agree with. The one more likely to come, even though it might be both, is explaining why […]
Jack Chick Cartoon Tracts: Use or Not to Use?
The cartoon tracts drawn by Jack Chick are well known in fundamentalist circles. Furthermore, there is no doubt that many of them have been read by unbelievers, and that out of the vast numbers of Chick tracts that have been passed out, people have, by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the instrumentality […]

Historic, Unprecedented Political Strangeness
Events have occurred in this presidential election that are unprecedented in my lifetime, but also in all of American history. Historians might point to three unique political occasions in my lifetime that this one tops. I’m saying that too. The three are Watergate, Bill Clinton impeachment, and Bush-Gore 2000. If we go back into all […]
Good Article on Hillary Clinton at National Review
First, you can see Thomas Ross’s article below. If you are still voting for Hillary, you are still putting Hillary in office by voting for someone else besides Donald Trump, or you are voting for Donald Trump — any voters, even early and absentee — read Andrew McCarthy’s National Review article on Hillary Clinton. Let […]

An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 4
Part One, Part Two, Part Three Kevin Bauder sees a “universal church” in Matthew 16:18. Then he argues for the universal church from 1 Corinthians 12:13. When you examine every other usage of ekklesia by Jesus other than Matthew 16:18, it is obviously an assembly and local only. The burden of Bauder and those like […]
An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 3
Part One, Part Two Kevin Bauder addresses the presupposition for church successionism by dealing with Matthew 16:18, treating it as the proof text for the position. I don’t mind calling it Baptist successionism, because Baptists can trace their lineage to Jerusalem. Succession implies an unbroken line of continuity and perpetuity suggests the permanence of the […]
An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 2
Part One Contrary to Kevin Bauder, local only ecclesiology did not originate with “landmarkism” and J. R. Graves in the mid 19th century. First, the church is local only in the New Testament. Second, first century Clement of Rome provides patristic testimony to local-only ecclesiology. Third, very early orthodox, printed doctrinal statements support a local […]
