You Should Vote for Romney, the Basic Argument
Your vote in a presidential general election is very much like making a choice for a purchase. You don’t always get what you want, but you try to get the best that you can. Sure, if you had the money, you might buy a Mercedez, but you don’t have the money, so you can’t. There […]
Updated Music Resources at the “Theological Compositions” website
I wanted to make you aware that here, in the “Ecclesiology” section of my website, I have relatively recently added a goodly number of valuable resources relating to godly worship and music. These include: 1.) The Scottish and Genevan Psalters. Do you prefer e-resources, or do you feel like you too poor to pay the $15 […]
When An Exegetical Fallacy Becomes a Translation and then a Philosophy
Before I get to my post, I reiterate that I’m going to do a series before the election on how I’m going to vote and why. Bobby Mitchell’s good church in Brunswick, ME has a new website, thought I’d share that with you. He’s got lots of good stuff to read and listen to. I […]
Ambiguity and Utility: Fundamentals of Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism
To keep evangelical and fundamentalist alliances, beliefs must be rendered ambiguous. In the consideration of what is certain, decisions are made based on utilitarian means. Ambiguity and utility are new doctrines. Scripture doesn’t teach them. You won’t find them in the history of Christian doctrine, but today they have become necessities. The Bible reveals certainty […]

Fundamentalism, Separation, Charismatics, and Northland
Before we get into the post, I want to do some housecleaning here. Four things. First, our book, A Pure Church, is to the printer, final proofs approved now for over a week. You can still get a pre-publication price here (less for multiple copies). It’s a good book, worth reading and owning. Second, we […]
The Path to Postmodern Subjectivity Comes Through Fear, Pragmatism, and, Yes, Covenant Theology
Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism are usually presented as two conservative approaches to interpretation of the Bible. Let me give you the cliffs notes on the subject. We’ve got the New Testament, inspired by God. What God said is the only right way. That way was persecuted severely by the Roman empire. Doctrine changed out of […]
Repentance Defended Against Antinomian Heresy: A Brief Defense of the Indubitable Biblical Fact that Repentance is a Change of Mind that Always Results in a Change of Action, part 3
Advocates of the RNC (the view that repentance does not always result in a change of action), in light of the overwhelming case against them from the lexica and from the uses of metanoeo and metanoia in the New Testament, make several arguments for their position that they hope will overturn the crushing weight of […]
