KJV margin vs Ruckmanisim
The original edition of the King James Bible had marginal notes (see the replica of the original 1611 in the Bibliology section here). These marginal notes, which are still reprinted in the Trinitarian Bible Society and Cambridge printings of the KJV, as well as being available in electronic versions such as for Accordance Bible Software, […]
Worship Is God’s Priority for Men: The Case of 2 Chronicles 26
Part One Man isn’t going to make his way through life without sinning, but he can as a habit or lifestyle come to God by faith in worship of Him through the means and in the way prescribed by God. 2 Chronicles reiterates this. In the midst of annals of especially various battles and conflicts […]
Worship Is God’s Priority for Men: The Case of 2 Chronicles 25
The impression from an overview of scripture is that worship is God’s priority for men. Jesus said to the woman at the well, God is seeking for true worshipers (John 4:23). Jesus said this. David was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). What was David’s priority? The worship of God. 1 Chronicles […]
Free Psalm Singing Resources
In the section on ecclesiology on my website, I have a number of resources discussing psalm-singing. I hope you are in a church that obeys the command to “sing psalms” (James 5:13; Ephesians 5:18ff.) and that you also obey this command in your personal life and in your family worship. If you are in a […]
The Generation Clash Symbolized by Meghan and Harry Versus Queen Elizabeth II
Less than a hundred years ago, one fraction of the world set itself to defend against an entirely different culture that wished to impose itself, and wipe the other out. This wasn’t the first time. Almost the entire globe participated in either attempting to change the world order, the dominant view, or keeping the older […]
A False Kind of “Unity” Sought by a Typical Evangelical
In the area in which I am evangelizing and starting a church, there are several congregations from the Calvary Chapel movement, which started around here in 1977 in the Rogue Valley. The first and biggest of these has its own radio station, which I listen to very often when I get in the car to […]
“Q,” the Son of Man, and Christ’s Deity
The alleged document “Q,” according to critical or anti-supernaturalist scholars, underlies the New Testament Gospels. As explained in my study on the New Testament and archaeology, there is no reason to believe that “Q” ever existed. However, even if one granted, for the sake of argument, that “Q” did exist, it still provides evidence that […]
Four Thousand Praised the LORD with the Instruments Which I Made
In the midst of a variated list, 1 Chronicles 23:5 reads: Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. Part of the worship of God was praising Him with instruments. Instruments were made with the intention of praising Him. These were […]
Are We Living in the Last Days? The Right Approach to Biblical Prophecy
The Bible is a prophetic book. That alone is an amazing statement, because it is the only prophetic book in the world, because it is the only one written by God. Prophecy has a lot of purposes, a major one being a validation that that the Bible is in fact the Word of God. As […]
Cancel Culture and Religious Persecution
Everyone should cancel something. I remember canceling my subscription to Sports Illustrated when it started publishing the swimsuit issue. I understand the marketing aspect of that issue. Sports Illustrated can make more money with the issue than without, so they’re willing to lose the lesser number of subscribers for the greater number. Sports Illustrated could stay in business. This isn’t canceling Sports […]
