No Reason to Fret the Harry Styles Vogue Cover Unless Designed Gender Distinction or a Male and Female Item of Clothing
Prominent secular conservative voices repudiated British singer-songwriter Harry Styles for appearing on the cover in Vogue magazine in a dress. Both Candace Owens (also here and here) and Ben Shapiro confronted his masculinity. MSNBC defended Styles with the exact or identical argument used by evangelicals and fundamentalists for unisex apparel: “Jesus wore dresses.” That I have seen, only secularists […]
The Most Rampant False Doctrine or Religion That You Didn’t Know Its Name: Perennialism
Last week going door-to-door, I rounded a corner to visit some duplexes, and a man was standing outside, who seemed 65 plus, short and heavy. I approached him with the intent of preaching the gospel. The first thing he said was, can you help me get into my house, I locked myself out? I followed […]
Evangelistic Bible Study #4, “How Do I Receive the Gospel?” is now live!
In previous weeks I had mentioned that videos teaching the evangelistic Bible studies that I have written were being made available. We had made #1, “What is the Bible?” live. That study covers the inspiration, preservation, and canonicity of the Bible. We had made #2, “Who is God?” live, covering who the true God is, […]
The Belly or the Bowels
The word “bowels” is used in the King James Version of the Bible, translating the Greek word, splankna, which is used eleven times in the New Testament. Here are related ones (9 of the 11): 2 Corinthians 6:12, Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 2 Corinthians 7:15 […]
Learn Christian Latin, Self-Directed: How I am Doing It
Latin is the language of Christendom for over 1,500 years–it is valuable for someone who wants to understand the history of Christianity, to understand the Latin Vulgate and Old Latin Bible translations, the language known by Biblical writers from Mark, early writers in Christendom, influential medieval theologians from Anslem to Aquinas, reformers from Luther to Calvin, Puritans […]
Evangelism Is Still the Solution and This World, Including the United States, Is Not My Home
At all times I have a much bigger picture in mind than a four or eight year snap shot of the history of the United States. I always think of the kingdom of God first and especially today. If where I lived was of the greatest significance, my wife and I would not have moved […]
A One Issue Conception Against Biden/Harris and For Trump: Why Are Washington DC Businesses Boarding Up Windows In Anticipation of Tuesday?
Businesses in Washington DC and across the nation are boarding up their windows in anticipation of the election on Tuesday (read here, here, here, here, here, and here). The first link toward articles substantiating that activity provides the headline, “It’s Absolutely Heartbreaking to Watch Washington Boarding Up for an Election.” I’ve read various reports with […]
Christians! Vote For Trump–Three Reasons (out of many)
If you are reading this post, you should vote for Donald Trump for President of the United States. Do not vote for Joe Biden. Do not vote for the Constitution Party candidate. Do not abstain from voting. Vote for Donald Trump. Here are three reasons. 1.) If you pray 1 Timothy 2:1-4, you should vote […]
Who Are the Most Loving People You Know?
“Love” is one of the most misused and corrupted words in the English vocabulary. Very often when I am evangelizing, I have to give the correct definitions to whole host of words, including the word, gospel. The word “love” in English vocabulary originates from the Bible. It is used now in the English language, but […]
The New Lie of “Authenticity” and the Excuse It Gives Its Adherents to Live Ungodly
Something being authentic sounds great. Authentic leather, not naugahyde. You go to the National Archives in Washington, DC to see the authentic Declaration of Independence, not a cheap copy. That was the meaning of authentic for the early years of my life, what I would have thought the word, authentic, meant. If you buy an […]
