I mean it this time. Bethel Baptist Church of El Sobrante, CA will have the very first WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE on November 11-15, 2009. So it’s coming up. That means you’ll need to get your transportation to be in the San Francisco Bay Area at that time. November 11-15 is Wednesday to Sunday, so […]
Who Is Sovereign over Sovereignty?
What is sovereignty? I’m going to show you the verses in the Bible that have the word “sovereignty” in them. Get your pen and paper. I’m going to type them between two parenthesis. OK, here they are: (_______________________________) Did you get them down? OK, the term “sovereignty” isn’t found in Scripture. Of course, that doesn’t […]
God So Loved the World
This will be a new feature on my blog. I will highlight great English or American sacred choral music.
History and Deuteronomy 22:5 (part two)
Deuteronomy 22:5 isn’t hard to understand. The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. Even if someone were to rely on modern translations (which are made from the same Hebrew text […]
History and Deuteronomy 22:5 (part one)
Writing on Deuteronomy 22:5 isn’t my favorite activity. However, it is one of the those truths under attack in our culture. It becomes a practical squeaky wheel. Therefore, I keep applying the oil. As it applies to this particular issue, I like this quote from Martin Luther (Luther’s Works, St.L. ed., vol. 9, pg. 825): […]
Whose Fault Was the Mortgage Crisis? Read this New York Times Article from 1999
Read this archived NY Times article from 1999 to understand who gets big credit for the mortgage crisis that has caused our current financial mess.

A Defense of the Peter Masters’ Article with Criticism of its Bad Reviews
One of the most famous churches in the world is the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England, where for thirty-eight years (1854-1892) Charles Haddon Spurgeon pastored and preached. By the time we get to the late 1960s, the church had shrunk down to a tiny membership. Then Peter Masters became its pastor in 1970 and, despite […]
Majoring on the Minors
A few days ago, I received a nasty comment here from ‘anonymous,’ and he started it with some sarcasm about my majoring on the minors. Don’t look for the comment. I didn’t post it. It was error-filled, so I wasn’t interested in anyone entertaining its content, especially since he wouldn’t own it. But it did […]
The Issue of Designed Gender Distinction: Answering Comments or Questions
I commented on the blog of a young man who is leaving fundamentalism. One of his big criticisms was “standards.” In the comment section, another pastor who blogs, Will at Reforming Baptist, wrote this: KB: “On the pants/skirt, I don’t think the position gets explained exegetically and historically well enough, but your position will fail […]
