Rampant Fake Spirituality
I’ll be writing more about the same-sex marriage case. I read the SCOTUS oral arguments. They were very interesting. I’d like to break it down with some commentary. I’ve also read experts’ take on what they think that what they said meant as to a clue to their decision. Most focused on Anthony Kennedy, again, […]
The Supreme Court Decisions on Same Sex Marriage
I’ll be writing more in the series on the Tell-Tale Passages for Soteriology, to add to parts one, two, and three of last week. I also want to write a post about rampant fake spirituality in churches. Stay tuned on that. But this week some decisions will be heard in the United States Supreme Court. […]

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: Abraham had faith accounted to him for righteousness.
The Rich Young Ruler: Tell-Tale Passage for Soteriology, Number One, Pt. 3
The Jews of Jesus’ day needed Jesus as Savior. No doubt. They wanted a Messiah who would deliver them from Rome and usher them right into their kingdom. They were missing the suffering of Christ. They ignored Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53. However, it was also true that Jesus was King. He was the King […]
The Rich Young Ruler: Tell-Tale Passage for Soteriology, Number One, Pt. 2
When Jesus talked to the rich young ruler, as recorded in Luke 18:18-30, what did he think Jesus was talking about? We really don’t have to have any doubt about this. Look at what Peter says to Jesus in v. 28: “We have left all and followed thee.” Unlike the “certain ruler,” Peter and those […]
The Rich Young Ruler: Tell-Tale Passage for Soteriology, Number One
Your take on a few passages in the New Testament will most likely tell where you fall in the spectrum of belief on the required saving response to the gospel message. I don’t believe there is a more important discussion today. Nothing bothers me more than wrong teachings about salvation, some of which are found […]

A Modern Perversion of the Temple
This could be a part two to Monday’s post that dealt with Shepherd’s Conference and Carl Trueman and more. *************** The Lord Jesus entered Jerusalem to great exaltation, as superficial as it might have been. It was true. He was King. He was Lord. He had a royal agenda. He rejected the religion of the […]
An Irretrievable Irony
Last week, I watched a little of the live stream of the Shepherd’s Conference in Southern California. It was the technically best live streaming I had ever seen, very convenient. I saw very little because of work and schedule, but I did see a little music, some of a panel discussion, and some of an […]
Are Calvinism and the TULIP Dangerous Errors?
I am going to continue my series on “The Just Shall Live by Faith,” Lord willing. I thought, however, that it would be appropriate to take a one-week break and post the following analysis of Calvinism. In relation to the points of the TULIP of Calvinism, Scripture teaches that man is pervasively and awfully depraved […]
