How is your growth in the knowledge of your Triune God?
As a believer, you are to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ, and of the Triune God revealed through Christ (2 Peter 3:18, etc.) You are to love your God with all your mind, as well as all your soul and all your strength. How well do you know the Triune […]
Reformed Continuationists: Strange Fire or Not?
We have our Word of Truth Conference this week. You’ll at least have audio from the conference, some before it’s over and all shortly thereafter, Lord-willing. You’ll probably have video. I’m looking into live-streaming. We’ve never done it. ++++++ I’m also planning on finishing the series on Ekklesia, or the last part of that series, which would […]
I-MAGINATION: The God of Truth Replaced in an Age of Apostasy
Bethel Baptist Church will hold its fifth annual Word of Truth Conference this week Wednesday to Sunday, November 6-10. It’s a beautiful time of the year in Northern California, unlike some of the rest of the country. The first three years of the conference were on the purity of the church, and a book came […]
John Wesley — heretic or hero?
Historic Baptists and fundamentalists who obtain their history mainly from sanitized and hagiographical Protestant sources often have a very inaccurate view of the theology of John Wesley. The following post should serve as a corrective, and will bring up some of the facts often left out of the sanitized and hagiographical accounts. 1.) Wesley was […]
Ekklesia Means “Assembly”, pt. 2
When we get to Jesus’ usage of ekklesia (will spell it either way, ekklesia or ecclesia), we haven’t read one usage of ekklesia yet. Some might think, “We have read it, because it’s found in the Septuagint (LXX), which was completed a century or two before Christ.” I don’t know that or believe that, so […]
Ekklesia Means “Assembly”
Ekklesia, the Greek word translated “church” in the KJV, already existed in the Greek language before the New Testament was written under the inspiration of God by its human authors. In Greek literature, it means “assembly.” Historians report that it means “assembly.” An ekklesia was only an “assembly.” There was no universal or mystical sense […]

The study in this post is now part of a larger study available online by clicking here: “The just shall live by faith”— A Study of Faith’s Connection with Salvation in All Its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fullness The part here began with the words: 4.) Behold in the Word the glory of God in […]
Faithful as a Pastor according to the Pastoral Epistles — Separation?
So that there will be no doubt, I believe John MacArthur has taken the right direction with his Strange Fire Conference. As that conference related to exposing Charismaticism and continuationism, it was superb. It could do much to help those needing clarity on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Do not, however, take this as […]
Three Take-Aways from John MacArthur’s Strange Fire Conference
Usually I write two columns a week. The third one is on Friday and by Thomas Ross. I wrote three last week, however, because what I saw in the live stream of the Strange Fire Conference in Southern California. I was very interested in the conference and wish I could have watched more, but I […]
