Neither Were They Thankful
In the garden, Eve lost track of all the trees. Her world became the one she could not eat. I would call this an immature view of the garden, considering immaturity to be a focus on self. The primary aspect of the immaturity of children is that they are selfish. Mine! Going further, Eve might […]
God’s Will of Being a Total Truth-Keeping Person: The Most Obvious Bifurcation of Truth in God’s World Today
God’s truth doesn’t stop anywhere in the world. It applies at some center point and in every place proceeding from that center, marking the center anywhere you want to put it. It doesn’t matter if there is a center, His truth covers everything. Some might put a center to it in order to emphasize that […]
Assurance of Salvation: Repeat the Sinner’s Prayer Again?
What should you tell someone who doubts whether he is saved, that is, who lacks assurance? A relatively common piece of advice today is to have him repeat the sinner’s prayer again.

The Seductive and Destructive Lie of Art as Personal Taste, pt.1
Two Recent Posts on Art: One and Two (and Here’s a Third from Further Past) Art says both a lot about you, but it also influences you. Some of what is called “art,” as I’ve written recently, really isn’t art, but that you call it “art” also says a lot about you. Like everything else […]
One Final Post on the NKJV Textual Deviations from the Text Behind the KJV
Mark Ward has closed all the comments on his blog, having admitted a degree of defeat on the issue of zero deviations of the text behind the NKJV from the underlying text of the KJV.
