John MacArthur: A Conservative Evangelical Preaches on Separation
A sermon popped up in the notifications on my phone late last week and it said, “Come Out from Their Midst and Be Ye Separate (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)” by John MacArthur. Apparently it was something preached earlier in March at his Shepherd’s Conference, but only posted three days before. I was very surprised to see […]
Justin Bieber, The Cross, Evangelicalism, and God’s Grace
This morning I was sitting somewhere, not by my choice, that had a television with a Justin Bieber music video playing. I couldn’t understand the lyrics, but I could see some of the action of the video. I knew it was Justin Bieber. He stood in a gigantic shallow swimming pool, about two and a […]
What Is the Righteousness of the Pharisees That Ours Is Supposed to Exceed According to Jesus?
In what’s called the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says in Matthew 5:20: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. I’ve heard this explained in a number of different ways, often, I’ve found, […]
Defining Pharisaism By Fleshing Out Its Confrontation by the Lord Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount
Terms like Pharisaism and legalism are often blunt instruments used today against churches and individual believers. They can be much like the word, racism. People weaponize terms to protect a belief or lifestyle through castigation. At the worst, they want to eliminate the objects of their scorn. Maybe they’re right about the ones they want […]
What Is Worldly Worship?
At least twenty years ago, from scripture I came to the following as a definition of worship. It is my definition, but I believe it reflects what the Bible says. “Worship is acknowledging or recognizing God for Who He is according to His Word and giving Him what He says that He wants.” If I […]
Psalm 106: Becoming Your Worship
Reading Psalm 106 this week, a psalm accounting the history of Israel, I came to verses 19-20: 19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. 20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. Man was made in the image of God. Since he is […]
The Command to Worship the LORD in the Beauty of Holiness
Without doubt, scripture teaches that worship of God must be regulated by what God says. The point of this post comes from Psalm 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. I’ve seen this verse many times. Many. Yet, something occurred to me when […]
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 […]
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 […]
