One cannot live in the past, and yet, one can regret much of their past. Of my many regrets (and there are many), on a spiritual level, forsaking sound teaching, sound doctrine and exhortation, for the more-pleasing-to-the-flesh Anomian error, is truly one of my biggest. I had books, quite a few really incredible books, from…

Hermeneutics: What of David? What of Christ (Holistically-considered)?
Please consider, Colossians 1:15-18 “[Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:…
Godly Fear: The Christian’s Fear Is Beyond Reverence Alone…
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.” Ask yourselves, which is the correct interpretation?

Hermeneutics: A Quick Biblical Test
QUESTION: What is the best way to (a) understand Scripture, (b) determine Biblical truth, and (c) settle doctrinal controversies/disputes? Is it to: 1. Rely primarily on the confessions, catechisms, and statements of faith drafted by men (especially, men ‘more faithful and learned‘ than you)? -or- 2.

Words Have Meaning: At What Point Can We Stop Lying?
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…
THERE’S NO DENYING THIS…
THERE’S NO DENYING THIS… The root cause of every aspect of every single person’s personal, familial, social, academic, occupational, ecclesiastical, economic, mental, physical, and [fill in the blank] troubles is sin. Whether directly or indirectly; whether committed by the individual or by others; sin is the foundation of all of our woes. Heaven is free…
Sovereignty: Comfort In The Midst Of Great Difficulty
Comfort In The Midst Of Great Difficulty “Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain…” Acts 2:23 “For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is…
Idolatry: On Images/Icons Purporting To Be Of God
Idolatry: On Images/Icons Purporting To Be Of God Shaun King [BLM, etc.] wants all “jesus” images and icons removed; personally, so do I (albeit for very different reasons). Exodus 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or ANY LIKENESS [temuwnah, H8544, form, image, representation, semblance] [OF ANYTHING] THAT [IS] IN HEAVEN ABOVE,…
The Gifts Of Spiritual Life, Hearing, Repenting, and Believing.
The Gifts Of Spiritual Life, Hearing, Repenting, and Believing. Mark 1:15 “…The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT YE, and BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Romans 10:8-15 “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which…
I Would Have peace
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…
