Toleration and Acceptance Therapy
This post will contain a story. It is totally fictional. I don’t know of anyone in particular who this story represents. It represents no one in order to represent many. I chose a name that would protect anyone who I happened to hit or that even someone thought I was hitting, because I know no […]

Bill Nye’s Disqualifying Ignorance or Lies about the Bible
Troubling. Troubling. Troubling. Troubling. Ken Ham’s science is “troubling” to Bill Nye. Remember how many times Nye said that, head wagging? Bill Nye’s talk about the Bible is troubling to God. It should be troubling to you. It should be troubling to the whole world. But does anyone care? I wish Bill Nye […]
Opposing Indifferentism: Why Now?
Two days ago, Phil Johnson tweeted this: On charismatic indifferentism: http://t.co/Zl90DImCXM — Phil Johnson (@Phil_Johnson_) February 7, 2014 I draw you to the term “indifferentism” used by Johnson. Here’s the article to which he linked, a transcript of his session from the Strange Fire conference in October 2013. In that post he writes these two […]
Learn Hebrew Online
Dear brethren, I wanted to inform you that relatively soon, that is, within a few weeks, we are planning to offer a first year Hebrew class at Mukwonago Baptist Church/Mukwonago Baptist Bible Institute.

Is Creation a Viable Model of Origins in Today’s Modern, Scientific Era? The Ham-Nye Debate
Last night I watched the entire Ken Ham-Bill Nye debate. I haven’t seen anything like it in awhile. Tell me if I’m wrong. It was the biggest creation-evolution debate since the Scopes Trial. Millions watched on CNN, MSNBC, and various online sites. No creationist has been given this type of forum in decades. It’s about […]
Incremental Conservatism?
For those keeping track, I want to come back to part four of my series on success in church leadership, but there is something else first. While I’m digressing, our Word of Truth Conference this year is November 5-9, Wednesday to Sunday. We continue our subject of I-Magination, and the Reasons for Apostasy in this […]
How Long Were the Original Manuscripts Around? Considerations on the NT Autographa and Early NT Apographa from Scripture and Patristic Writers, part 7
Irenaeus, writing c. A. D. 190 or later,[i] at the conclusion of his (now lost) treatise De Ogdoade,[ii] stated: I adjure thee, who shalt transcribe this book, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by His glorious appearing, when He comes to judge the living and the dead, that thou compare what thou hast transcribed, […]
The Deceit and Tragedy of the Wrong Attribution of Success or a Wrong View of Success in Church Leadership, part four
Part One Part Two Part Three In the first part of this series, I asked you to join me in a thought experiment about a church that “doesn’t make it” and about one that does “make it,” but never gets very big. We considered typical explanations for this lack of success. At the […]
The Deceit and Tragedy of the Wrong Attribution of Success or a Wrong View of Success in Church Leadership, part three
Part One Part Two There were several factors that came together at once, that got my thinking about a view of success and attribution of success in church leadership. Part of it is the experience of vicious, unmerited attack, wondering how this originates and where it comes from. I expect harsh criticism, because Jesus […]
