So Theological Presuppositions Are Fine with Biblical Criticism After All?
I’m in no way endorsing Darrell Bock by playing this, but I enjoyed these questions by John Dickson. They’re questions I would want to ask. The answer is interesting and it is something I want to comment on after you watch it. [Please pardon the worldly music in the introduction—these evangelicals lack in discernment in […]
What Is the Communion of the Lord’s Table?
When we are done practicing the Lord’s Table, like Jesus and the Apostles, we sing a hymn and go out. We sing, “Blessed Be the Tie that Binds.” I love that song. In the second half of the first verse, you read this: The fellowship of kindred minds Is like that to that above. I’ve […]

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 […]

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. The tell-tale paragraph reads: Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate […]
A Defense of the Peter Masters’ Article with Criticism of its Bad Reviews part two

Douglas Wilson’s Review I have enjoyed reading Douglas Wilson in the past and using the Canon Press logic curriculum. I watched his debate with Christopher Hitchens and learned some helpful truths in dealing with atheists, which […]
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 […]
