As I consider the faithful men and women of old, particularly from the 1500’s to the early-to-mid 1800’s (given their highly edifying written work), I cannot help but wonder what it would be like for them if we could transport them, for a fortnight, to present-day America and Great Britain. What would the overall effect…
The phrase “Gender is a social construct” is absolute, abject nonsense when considered from an (accurate) lexical and etymological point of view. Perhaps it’s my “high functioning autism” that causes me to hyper-focus on the actual meaning of words (as opposed to the meanings imposed by Orwellian attempts to redefine them). Or, maybe it’s because…
I would have peace if I could just delude myself into thinking that assent to Gospel truth; knowledge of core biblical facts; a love for said truth and facts; and a desire to defend them before men… alone… evidenced salvation; I am under no such delusion. I would have peace if I had the assurance…
“…And A Leper Came To Him…” Matthew 11:28 Christ said “Come to Me, all those laboring and being burdened, and I will give you rest.” Mark 1: 40-42 “And a leper came to Him, begging Him, and falling on his knees to Him, and saying to Him, If You desire, You are able to make…
Thoughts On Edification 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” To edify is essentially to build up, like one would a home or…

The Civil Should Reflect the Spiritual God’s authority is manifested via (1) The Spiritual/Ecclesiological realm and (2) The Civil/Secular Governmental realm. Satan seeks to deceive and destroy via both; thus, Christian’s should seek to inform and edify via both. Our politics should reflect our spiritual state and doctrinal beliefs. We should be able to point…
THE “HARSH” REALITY GOD’S LOVE IS FOUND ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST Romans 8:38-39 “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God,…
OUR OPINIONS DO NOT MATTER… …when it comes to biblical issues. Rarely are doctrinal disputes adequately addressed by mere assertions; everything should be backed by Scripture (accurately and contextually quoted) even if it’s just with one verse, to start. I’m not saying you always have to be right (I know I’m not) but what I…
