Why You Should Get Rid of Yahoo! E-Mail and Avoid Yahoo! Entirely
I am eliminating my Yahoo! mail accounts, and you should get rid of them also. Why? I’m not getting rid of my Yahoo! e-mail accounts because of Yahoo’s leftist political bias, although it is irritating to see it when I go to yahoo.com to log in. Google may be politically biased also, but I’m not subjected […]
A Trail of Blood
I’ve written a little more on Baptist history here and here and here. You can read those. ***************** My family moved to Watertown, WI in 1973 for my dad to attend Maranatha Baptist Bible College, when I was entering 7th grade. My dad, my sister, my brother, and I all graduated there. He got his […]
Everybody Draws Lines (It Really Is All About Why)
One of the area evangelical churches, which has a rock band, had someone spontaneously begin taking his music to a different level with his behavior. He was jumping up and down and spinning and generally making the people attending feel uncomfortable. Leadership didn’t allow him to continue. They couldn’t agree to disagree. They wouldn’t allow […]
Are You Obeying the Ninth Commandment in the Blogosphere?
When blogging, as in all of life, we need to consider the inspired dictates about the tongue recorded in James 3:1-12: My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, […]
The Sovereignty People: Actual Trusting in God’s Sovereignty and Not Lipservice
God doesn’t accept lipservice, people who say they’re something when they’re not or who say they believe something when they don’t. If someone says he believes in the sovereignty of God, then he would believe what God said about His own sovereignty. God is sovereign, so He’s sovereign over His sovereignty too. His sovereignty […]
Uncertainty Now Considered Supreme Form of Christianity
We live in a new era where absolute certainty is reserved for a movie review or the quality of your creme brulee. Our faith no longer has such a resting place. If we land anywhere in the state of Nevada, we’re close enough. Scripture smacks of certainty. From a child, you can know what it […]

Is It Gospel Centered to Ignore or Disparage Cultural Applications of Scripture?
The idea of being gospel-centered is new. It is pseudo-argumentation for new measures with continued popularity with the world in view, which is ironic, because you would think the gospel would be the reason for growth with something gospel-centered. No. Instead, it’s rock music, casual, androgynous, or immodest dress, entertainment, and recreation. The trajectory was like the […]
The Now Irrelevance of Cultural Relativity
Read parts one and two. Perhaps you’ve seen a two year old standing at an open door. He wants to go outside. He looks around to see if anyone is watching. He’s not supposed to go outside. He’s been told not to. He looks around again. He steps out; just stands there. Looks around again. […]
