Same Sex Marriage Oddity As Not A “Secondary Issue” (Part Two)
Part One Cultural Liberalness Evangelicalism long ago separated cultural issues from doctrinal ones. You will read many today saying that they are doctrinally conservative and socially or culturally liberal. If doctrines are primary, culture became all secondary. Most evangelical churches now rely on pragmatic means for numerical church growth. Especially young people want to fit […]

Embracing An Unstoppable Advantage For Guaranteed Longstanding Victory
Supply Chains and Tripping Hazards Something I never heard before 2020 were the two words, “supply chain.” I looked into those two words and didn’t find them used together before the last half of the twentieth century.

Reading through the Bible for my second time this year, I arrived at Leviticus again and the word “profane” stood out to me. It is found 26 times in the Old Testament of the King James Version and seven in the New. Fifteen of those total times are in Leviticus. In eighteenth century English dictionaries, […]
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 […]
Is Piercing One’s Self or Having One’s Self Pierced Compatible with God?
