Why David’s Life Would Matter
The background of Psalm 30, written by King David, was his numbering of Israel. 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 mention the event. God offered David his choice of punishments: three years of famine, three months of war with Israel’s enemies, or three days of pestilence. David chose pestilence. About 70,000 people died in […]
Contemporary Indications of the Reprobate Mind
Where I live at this moment has the fifth busiest traffic in the country on Highway 80, headed toward what is called the MacArthur Maze. During coronavirus, it’s been different, but before March 2020, traffic would come to a complete standstill because people would turn to look at an accident. The same principle applies as […]
Eternal security debate: Douglas Jacoby & Thomas Ross, now live!
As regular readers of this blog likely know, I had the privilege of engaging in a two-part debate with Dr. Douglas Jacoby, a minister in the denomination that calls itself the “church of Christ” and was started by Alexander Campbell and his associates in the 1800s, last month over the topic of whether baptism is […]
The Apostle Paul’s Response to A First Century Gospel-Destroying Cancel-Culture Wokeness Plague on the Church
The Apostle Paul had woke credentials. He lists them in Philippians 3 in case anyone might wonder. No one was more Jew than he was. He took great advantage of that in Gentile cities when he visited the synagogues first. If he went to the Gentile first, his hearing with the Jews would be diminished. […]
When Black Lives Really Do Matter to Someone
Race is a social construct. The Bible doesn’t mention race, except the human race, the single Adamic race. Some have more melanin than others, so their skin is darker to varying degrees with actually very little physical difference between people. The DNA of any two human beings is 99.9% similar in content and identity. God […]
Jacoby / Ross Debate part 2, “We are Born Again In Baptism,” is now live!
The second half of my debate with Dr. Douglas Jacoby over baptism is now live! In the first half, “We are born again before baptism,” I was in the affirmative; the second half, “We are born again in baptism,” where Dr. Jacoby was in the affirmative and I was in the negative, is now also […]
The Nation Was Hacked
The post analysis of the coronavirus pandemic might and will likely show gross incompetence mainly from leftist mayors and governors in the United States with a corollary influence on everyone else because of the politics and fear. Everyone needs to be prepared for the cover up, massive number of lies. I’m just predicting here. The […]
Should There Or Could There Be Unity in the United States?
Today my wife and I drove up separate vehicles to Oregon. This is the first of a few trips to get moved up. Straight trip it is less than six hours. When we got close to the border of California and Oregon, there was a large barn along Highway Five, which on its roof read […]
What I Wanted from Missionaries That I Expect and Want for Me as a Missionary
The two words for missionary are “evangelist” and “missionary.” Evangelist has in that word, preach the gospel. Missionary has in that word, mission. I’m not trying to insult your intelligence. Indulge this post. Read on. For preach the gospel, an evangelist should preach the gospel. To do that, he must preach the actual gospel, not […]
Newly formatted Gospel tracts
I wanted to let What is Truth? readers know about the newly formatted gospel tracts below. The content is very similar to the presentation on the Internet here. I would commend them to you for use in your church. The first one below, formatted courtesy of Headwaters Baptist Church, looks like this (side #1): and […]
